At this time there isn’t any exact problems that we are solving yet with asana but we are trying to implement it into our day-to-day operations
Good for managing team projects

I want more report features and I hope it can import from other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management
Team Assignments
What do you like best about the product?
I like how tasks are built up in to projects using multiple tiers, and I like how the tasks can be assigned to individual people with due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think a GANTT-like project overview option would be useful for discussion with a team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana really helped flesh an idea out from conception to reality; identifying what tasks will solve the overall project and issues and who will do each portion.
So many options you’ll never get started
What do you like best about the product?
I love the board layout option of Asana. As a person who digests visual information easier than lists, this is a godsend. Great for ideation. You can see everything at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s too easy for tasks to be out of sight, out of mind. Tasks can be so heavily nested that you literally lose them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Writing everything for so you can see it laid out all at once.
It's ok
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's easy to get lost in Asana. Especially since I've used Trello in the past. too many functions for no reason.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many clicks to get to the desired destination and too many threads to keep up with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a way for my team to keep track of assignments but I don't think that it's simple to use.
Easy to use and communicate with employees
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to figure out, I like the aspect of getting to check off tasks as they're done or assign them to other people. I also think it's helpful to have the comment section on the tasks, so you can add details to other employees or update them in where you are on that particular task.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way that you can share files is a bit disorganized and could use some improvements. It would be helpful to have more of a cloud based system for sharing files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it at my work as a way to track all of our tasks to do as well as share ongoing documents with others for edits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's helpful for keeping track of different tasks to do as well as communicating with other employees, and sending ongoing documents.
Asana is a cost effective solution for task management.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very feature rich. It can do so much, and it is a very mature platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is so feature rich that is tends to be complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a remote team, we're able to stay on the same page, and communicate effectively.
Ideal for product management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to easily outline major projects and their subtasks, assign dates per subtask, and easily assign them
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's not as intuitive as I'd like in terms of figuring out different views of your projects (list view, calendar view, etc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes it's not as intuitive as I'd like in terms of figuring out different views of your projects (list view, calendar view, etc). The benefits are outlining projects in a way in which our entire team can see where the sub-teams stand in terms of projects and priorities
Very expandable, but without some confusion
What do you like best about the product?
I like the UI the best. It's crisp, snappy and for the most part consistent. The Asana team has been pretty active in the last year or so in rolling out various updates that expand and improve the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
The account structure is very confusing. I'm not sure if I'm just not understand this, but my account has 3 projects, but there is also a concept of Workspaces that I can toggle through and each of those has their own projects inside of it? Regardless, I feel they don't do a good job in laying out those concepts and it creates confusion on the users part in how they are suppose to use the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Asana for holding all my side project data. I have 3 projects within my account (and maybe default Workspace? IDK it's confusing like I already mentioned) and each one is for a different side project I'm working on or have already finished. I like the task management aspect of the product the most. It provides flexibility in the task sections, tasks themselves and tons of metadata on each task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would really try to setup the proper account>workspace>project situation so you're not confused as you continue using it.
Great for task organization with teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very helpful for organization within teams who have multiple roles and tasks to get done for different projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a bit pricey for what it is, however, it is unique in that it has tools that other free organization platforms don’t.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved our task management organization issue with asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great for task setting. But it needs to be the only place where all tasks are organized or else it gets messy.
