Lots of options, templates, fast...
What do you like best about the product?
So far I've been using the desktop app for daily tasks, the site for admin purposes only. Had only one interaction with customer support so I don't have much of an opinion there. Was easy to implement, no issues there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Selection of items in Lists, and the text editor on the desktop app is a bit too excited and often selects more than what I wanted, when the same action in other apps does not cause the same issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can put different sources about a specific task inside one project. One place to find all the notes and info.
Asanas ease of use is phenomenal
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy and intuative to use which makes it a great choice for a day to day task tool, great tool for begginers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't have enough features if you want your whole operation in 1 place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it easier to follow the daily tasks and their progress.
A Great Task Tracker But Not Differentiating Enough
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, easy to scale, easy to deploy/implement, and easy to collaborate with others on
What do you dislike about the product?
When a user is terminated there's no good way of saving their boards with an offboarding workflow - not differentiating enough from the pack, there's a lot of other softwares that do the same thing at a cheaper price point
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was our task and project collaboration tool and allowed us to keep track of our running tasks
Easy to use with great UI/UX
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the user interface of Asana, including interlinking documents, sheets and drives.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are features that are confusing in the software like adding multiple stages in the task and duplicating tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves the problem of managing tasks on a daily basis and collaborating with other teams for work.
Great UI and easy to use, but extremely limited without Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is extremely user friendly. I like that you can open multiple tabs to work in different projects/templates at one time. I also love the ability to add custom fields and templates are easy to build.
What do you dislike about the product?
I understand that there should be incentives to upgrade, but not having the ability to assign anyone without an Asana license makes it very difficult to keep using (not much value). I can't share the project or tasks with anyone internally or externally, making it an ineffective tool for project management as I can't use it to hold others accountable and provide insight into progress. Aside from the tracking which I could do in Excel, it's really just a prettier interface. In order to really get value from Asana as a project manager, you'd need everyone to have licenses, or you'd need the Enterprise version. In addition, dependencies are difficult to manage, at least with this product tier. It's really confusing and not super intuitive. This may be easier with Enterprise, however, when you're able to assign tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really just a pretty way to track task completion manually.
Better experience as an end user than a creator.
What do you like best about the product?
Being assigned tasks is quite useful and helps me get things done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creatin tasks and basic functionality/usage, the layout is too subtle and the prompts are non existent. I do not respond well to the child like emojis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in an all remote company and it does help to coordinate projects.
Like Asana but don't quite know all the features yet
What do you like best about the product?
I like best about seeing what tasks have been assigned to me, and how I can come alongside and support those teams with requests. Given the nature of my job as a production director, we support all the ministries in my church with AV and production services. Asana is great for not forgetting the things you absolutely need to provide and provide with quality. On the flipside, being able to receive attachments such as photos from the communications department is awesome instead of emailing them, asking for a graphic when needed, etc. It's all right there and downloadable onto any device that is necessary to download to. So, it's got great features for just those two things alone!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the UI. Seems clunky and all over the place. Hard to find downloads or at least it wasn't as intuitive to find downloads attached to tasks, etc. I recommend changing that!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the time it takes to contact an employee to provide a graphic for me, whereas emailing them and waiting for a response can take hours if not days. Once they finish their task such as designing a graphic, that is uploaded pretty seamlessly and accessible by nearly anyone on the team.

Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to use and works well for coworker communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slightly difficult to navigate. Task organization in the My Tasks section could be improved upon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every morning our team comes together to discuss assigned tasks for the day. Seeing everyone's workload and estimated work time helps us discuss if we need help or not.
A Project Manager's Review
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to collaborate with associates on a project and ensure deadlines are met. It is very user friendly and offers an array of options for integrating with other systems to allow for proper work flow. This platform is used by my team every day and makes the day's work load easy to capture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limit on the number of fields visible in a task being 60. My particular industry use could use many more fields. Also, the limit on reporting charts/graphs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of managing projects from start to finish and hitting deadlines. Working directly with collaborators from across the nation in an efficient manner.
