Great Group Collab tool! Worth Trying
What do you like best about the product?
The brilliant UI accommodates a perfect and sorted out approach to add assignments to your rundown, alter undertakings, and check errands off when finished. As I fundamentally utilize this product for business purposes for cooperation with colleagues inside my office, it is a one-stop-shop that has disposed of paper agendas, clingy notes, and schedules, by joining these in a smooth web interface. The convenience brings about regular assignment refreshes which can be seen and remarked on by the whole group, guaranteeing errands are not missed or overlooked. As I am regularly chipping away at numerous ventures all the while consistently, the comfort of adding new undertakings and errands to individual activities is incredibly useful to remain composed, see the majority of the pending assignments, and timetable time likewise dependent on consummation dates you have inputted for each errand. Another extraordinary component is connecting messages to specific activities in Asana; a fast duplicate of the URL for the venture in the stage, and you can without much of a stretch send messages and connections legitimately into Asana for easy recording. As a free programming, Asana is a brilliant apparatus to use for bunch cooperation, or for individual use to ensure you are viably overseeing agenda, undertakings and tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The significant drawback to Asana utilized in a workplace is that undertakings can't be allocated needs, which can bring about successive registration on the rundown to guarantee you are organizing assignments appropriately. A shading coded need strategy would be amazingly useful in raising high need assignments over the rest. As Asana is a cloud-based programming, idleness can now and then be an issue bringing about a deferral in composing and moving among ventures and errands, however this is just a minor comfort. As a result we settled on another app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had the option to streamline bunch association and coordinated effort into a solitary source. Asana has kept current arrangements of undertaking related errands, and guarantee colleagues know about, and finishing assignments by the given consummation deadlines. Asana has additionally diminished email mess caused from visit 'to and fro' messages for little remarks between colleagues by giving a solitary area to remark on, and update statuses of errands. Generally speaking, Asana has been an extraordinary app that has given a huge positive change in the manner we impart and track venture statuses in our group.

It’s So Easy!
What do you like best about the product?
My RAs were hesitant about using Asana at first because, per one of my top RAs, ‘it’s just another piece of technology and I hate having all this technology to keep up with’.
Well, Baby Girl, this is 2019, and gone are the days using paper forms and obnoxiously hounding my staff because I don’t know the progress. I see their progress on team projects, I can congratulate the folks that’re on the ball and get their tasks done, and encourage them to go light a small fire under the butts of the students that’re slacking (and scaring them a little by saying, “it’s better if you hear it come from me rather than Billy because if he finds out you’re behind...he’ll have you in a chokehold during the next staff meeting.”
It helps me heard the cats that are my 18-23 year old ‘adult’ staff, and even the one that was reticent to change and having just another thing to keep up with...she came around and said, “okay, I don’t hate it like I thought I would.” Trust me...that’s high praise coming from that little ray of sunshine and sprinkles.

What do you dislike about the product?
I had some problems getting some tasks assigned...it was a tinge cumbersome and redundant, but once that was out of the way, it was smooth sailing.

Read my ‘What Do You Like Best’ response because I answered that pretty much.
Change my teams dynamic
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Asana is the ability to assign and organize tasks to anyone easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a native app instead of just the web application. It would be nice to have a Mac OS app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's changed my entire workflow. It is now organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is the app to use!
Asana- Simplified Project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ease at which the high level status can be depicted using this tool. Ease to assign the members, notes, due dates and filters.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very detail oriented. Cannot be drilled into
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana as a Project Management Tool. User friendly and has a good gui
Great project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Love the functionality and features that allows my direct report and I to manage projects and our weekly meetings. Also love the sub tasks options that allows managers to provide detailed direction when needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love using it for larger teams where you have to provide more context.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining communications and provide clear direction on action/items and priorities.
Great for small teams, gets cluttered for larger teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very easy to use and combines not only some well known project management concepts like kanban boards but also adds a twist on how you navigate and filter work. Great for small teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
When your team grows beyond say 15 people, work gets really cluttered and adopting a SCRUM or similar project management strategy that uses a more advanced tool such as JIRA becomes necessary, especially if you need flexibility and can afford the initial setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps manage smaller teams and is great if you have a small team of freelancers that are self-starters. If you need to keep a closer eye on the work (say if there is a rapidly approaching deadline) or you have a larger team, there are better alternatives but for small teams, Asana is almost always the way to go.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you are selecting the right tool from the start. If you're a small team, chances are it's Asana but if it turns out one specific tool isn't right for you, it's really hard to change during a project.
Useful for content marketing an planning
What do you like best about the product?
The board system allows us to move through content marketing projects and manage content ideas and content strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Project management workflows could be improved a bit. I'd like to see functionality where we can set up timelines for people to work on specific parts of one task. Right now, only one person can be assigned to a task at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More organization and clarity into the content marketing process. Visibility to others outside our team into the important work that we do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure everyone is committed to maintaining their work, otherwise, things quickly get outdated.
Great Place to have your Goals and Team Aligned
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool to help organize you and your team both at a high level and a granular level. It allows company goals to be seen and transparent (should they so choose to be) and allows team members to fully understand what they're responsible for and makes it easier to track progress and measure performance. It includes due dates, alerts, reminders, the ability for others in the org to follow a project or a particular employee.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the few things I dislike about asana is that it has limited integrations with other platforms we utilize internally. although not very likely that there's much data to sync, but having the ability to sync due dates in asana to a google calendar or outlook has been a challenge but easily remedied by logging in daily and understanding what tasks you need to complete to move the needle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems we're solving with Asana are quite simple. We're keeping our executives in line with what they need to do to accomplish the main mission for the quarter, half, year, etc. that waterfalls down into what the directors need to do, then again into the front line troops. It's a great tool to keep everyone on track as to how they impact the company needle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend ensuring the rest of your team is on board with the commitment of making asana work for your company. It's one of the best out there, but without end user adoption, it will be a costly and ineffective tool.
