Top list based task manager
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows you to build out tasks into lists and sub-lists, essentially endlessly. It's easy to assign to owners for each task, set deadlines, and create relationships between tasks. The features are full and robust; most things that you want and need in a task management system are there because Asana has been doing this for a long time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is not as flexible as some of it's competitors. For example, a list based task management system is not the best for everyone, all the time. There are occasions where a more visual presentation may be helpful, and Asana doesn't really offer that, and isn't built for that. It's a specialized tool, and it specializes in lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem is really basic...keeping track of what you need to do, and what your peers need to do. This can be achieved by a number of tools and systems ranging from the basic sticky notes or pen and paper list approach to a more robust tool like Asana. With Asana, you have the advantage of having everyone on your team share a collective pen and paper, making it easier for everyone to understand what is needed from them, and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If a list based system is all you and your peers need, go with Asana. It does one thing, and it does it better than any other tools I have tried. If you think you may need a more flexible or visual tool, this may not be the best route to take.

Asana Review from Digital Marketing Specialist
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can quickly and easily create tasks. Every morning I prioritize these tasks. With ongoing tasks, I write comments so that I remember where I left off.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is to set up large projects. Just like any software, if your team isn't fully invested and reliant on the project management tool, it is useless.

The only problem I am solving is keeping my thought and tasks organized. Other than that, we have used asana company-wide to accomplish much.

Understand how to use if before implementing it on a project. Go through tutorials and YouTube videos.

What do you dislike about the product?
The e-mail notifications of tasks are often unhelpful/unclear, and Asana sometimes becomes a background or after-thought.

We use Asana to manage all of our projects, which has eliminated the issue of tasks and requests getting lost in emails. The benefits are that all tasks and projects can be found in one place, streamlining our processes greatly.

Set up projects, users and task naming conventions properly to get the most out of reporting and e-mailing functions
