Great and easy service
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything is right there in front of you so you cant miss a thing. I also appreciate the fact that I can customize my task list and projects based off of the style that works best for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it was a bit easier to customize the look and feel of the list. With colors, fonts, etc. I also wish that I could more easily integrate it with the different programs I use on a daily basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I often forget the smaller but important task. Knowing that I have the asana tab always open, I can easily add the task and continue what I was working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great and works really well for people like me who need a task list. All I had to so was continuously remind myself to fill it up and be consistent.
Great tool for that dont required advanced project management features
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an easy to use project management tool. It has an intuitive interface to help build projects, assign tasks, and track progress. Some of the great features include
- Setting dependent tasks
- Building custom fields based on your team's unique needs. (example, priority)
- With notifications, Asana will let team members know when what tasks are upcoming or when a principal task has completed so you can start a dependent task.
Asana also has a built-in timeline view that automatically builds from your task list, in a Gantt chart fashion. You can assign a task to team members or 3rd party agents, and provide them just with the permissions to see what you want them to see.
Each user has a personal dashboard that shows their upcoming tasks and progress. This is very helpful, especially when there are a lot of balls in the air.

What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest complaint is that there isn't enough automation for tasks. For example, if the completion date for a principal task slips, the dependent tasks are not automatically pushed out. Instead, you have to manually update all dependent task to make sure their completion dates align. Also, when you set a start and completion date, the task duration field should automatically update so you know exactly how long a task will take. Lastly, there isn't a way to assign multiple team members to a task. So if there is a task that two team members are working on, you have to create two task and update them separately. It would be much easier if you could either group these tasks so they can be updated in one field or have multiple people on a task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest reason for using Asana is to help organize our team's projects, stay on top of tasks and work with cross-functional teams seamlessly. Asana has allowed us to do this. Our only wish is that it had more automated features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great way to manage a team with lots of projects. They are working on building more automated solutions which will make this tool even better.
User friendly task management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is super user friendly and easy for new users to navigate, is easy to set-up and administer, has a clean UI, and a fairly robust free version.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is not quite robust enough for true Project Managers on Professional Services teams. It's better for HR, Marketing, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Asana for task and project management. It helps keep everyone on the same page with less communication. You can add followers to keep them up to date on a project even if they're not heavily involved, which cuts down on emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for task and project management, but generally preferred by teams that don't need a super robust project management tool. Easy to use and affordable.
Great for assigning tasks, responsibilities and follow ups
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can easily find your previous task and you can add people any time so the catch up with the project
What do you dislike about the product?
If Is not so good to create a time line of a project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can easily plan a project, assign responsibilities and keep updating it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep everything as organize as possible, otherwise is easy to get lost
Great for task management
What do you like best about the product?
It is an amazing app to make sure the ball isn't dropped on a deadline or a task is forgotten. I have a lot of projects rolling at one time and this keeps them all organized for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes integrations fall out for some reason. I had clockify integrated and for some reason it just disappeared lately and couldn't get it reconnected. I haven't had the time to contact support, however. I'm sure they could get me back up and running with clockify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management is a huge plus. I can collaborate with my team and stay on task much better than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have tons of projects, it may make sense to take advantage of breaking things down into teams and boards on Asana. It makes everything more organized.
Unicorn Galore

I enjoy the user experience from the software. It is easy to use, and encourages us to do more because of the unicorns.
What do you dislike about the product?
Least helpful about asana is it give you too much freedom to push back dates, allowing employees to change dates without approval
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana is a dream and getting better!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been transformative in project management, execution of marketing campaigns and daily tasks/projects for our team. The improvements and product developments are always aiding in our work productivity especially in times of team/time capacity constraints.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team loves all the developments and would love for them to come out more quickly — only joking, but we get excited when we know people are coming!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving project management — timelines, task assignment, task handoffs, deadlines, capacity/workload (with the newly added portfolio), document sharing and access. And this has great decreased our use of email!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a way to manage, track and execute projects within a team or personally I can not recomment asana enough.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
The list-type layout of asana is one of the things that I like most about it. It is extremely intuitive, and maps into other features within the program flawlessly. The integrated calendar feature is extremely useful when it comes to managing tasks, and something that I use almost daily. The team member assignment feature has also proven to be very effective when managing our team through the app, and the fact that a lot of it can be done on mobile devices is crucial. I also love the Tab+B function; very clever you cheeky Asana folks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be difficult to manage if the task list gets too long. Some of that might be user error but a better, built in way to sort tasks might help with this issue. Percentage complete functions and start dates and such could be helpful too - some of that might be in the premium version, but using the free trial and missing those functions. The interface its self can sometimes also be crowded so finding different tasks, comments, or documents can be a bit of a challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana mainly for task management when to-do list type organization is required. It is also very useful for team management through its team member assignment features, due dates, and calendar features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider Asana when looking to do task-based project management with small to mid-sized teams in your organization.
Very good software but...
What do you like best about the product?
It is a really good software, you can track the status of all activities and use it to upload file. All your team members will be connected.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are more functionalities than the competitors, but that's not a good thing: it became more dispersive and less intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solve the problem of connection between teammates, here you can chat or update your progress and files. All team members will know what's going on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider to use Trello instead of asana...
Asana for Marketing
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, seamless setup, templatizing was straightforward
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is not the prettiest, feels a tad bit dated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamline workflow, hit deadlines, global communication
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is tried and true, has been around for a long time and has lead the force in project management, I fear that without a newer more dynamic UI (such as Monday) that they will lose traction in the marketplace.
