Great platform! When you understand it.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is a communication hub for our team, and also houses all of our client & internal work.
What do you dislike about the product?
New features are added and subtracted all the time. It would be awesome if there was a webpage you could visit that has a comprehensive of updated features with links to those features. Additionally! The onboarding & training is nearly non-existent unless you have a large team. Asana could take a cue from Trainual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a one-stop shop for all of our projects and for communicating with team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great platform for managing projects, but their onboarding is nearly non-existent and with features being added/changed daily it can be a bit daunting. I'm sure there have to be more user-friendly platforms out there.

Asana is great for tracking tasks for a team. Assigning tasks to people and adding them to your list makes project management easy and transparent.

There are a few other apps that do what asana does AND more, so I don't use it as often as other apps.

Asana as a tool for teamwork

The best part of Asana is being able to set up projects and due dates. So all who are involved can see the status of the project and the timeframe.

If you don't have your settings set up correctly, you can end up having your email flooded by the changes and updates to tasks and projects.

An assistant's BFF

Asana is so user friendly and helps us keep our crap together! We are a busy office headed in 1000 directions and it has been great for keeping our tasks on track and meeting our goals as a team but also as individual teams.

It can be hard to get everyone in our office to get their whole lives put into this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Malleable Tool for Customized Project Management Structure
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana has a very open structure in that it allows you to structure your project management suite/workflow however works for your team/products.
What do you dislike about the product?
That same open structure can be the worst thing about Asana in naive/the wrong hands - it is up to the users to decide and enforce structure and good practices, since Asana doesn't do that for you. You can't just go in mindlessly or wing it and expect to get anything other than a messy swamp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alignment among multiple stakeholders, centralized documentation, thoughtful collaborative planning.
So. Many. Options.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers tons of options for teams of all sizes, including customized views, notifications, and templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the platform, especially when the default setting is that you are notified by email whenever ANYONE makes a move, edit, or breathes in relation to your project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana works well for teams that function on different platforms and workspaces (e.g. PC, Mac, gmail, non-gmail, etc)
Gorgeous timeline view
What do you like best about the product?
The timeline feature is absolutely beautiful, easy to use, and helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn't work well for teams of all sizes, but it's a great in between point between Trello and Jira
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for product teams
Extremely customizable
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of detail you can add helps to stay extremely organized. Asana’s mobile apps are available for both iOS and Android, but there are alot of clicks to get where you want to be. The software can be integrated with third-party applications like Sunrise, Dropbox, Slack, Box, Google Drive and Hipchat.
What do you dislike about the product?
You must have a strategy to layout your processes and it works best if you have an admin who can monitor progress and own how work is set up. It lacks in the areas around more in-depth aspects of project management, but it works fine for managing workflow. Reporting is fairly basic and may not meet all teams' needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the platform for workflow management and communication between departments working on one project. There are a lot of details to be assigned so it forces you to look at your whole process from beginning to end and may uncover holes in the workflow. Communication between departments has improved as long as everyone uses the system and not email. It has been a case of adoption for our users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you have an understanding of what you need, what your users need, and the added value you will get from your chose of a collaborative work management solution. Your users need to love it and find new ways to use the tool to help be a lean and productive team.
