Flexible and Quick - Modern Design
What do you like best about the product?
This software is flexible and quick! The free version includes several features and the new timeline makes it easy to manage dependent tasks. This tool helps me stop tasks from falling through the cracks... makes a project (or even a business) much easier to manage. When you work in a team setting this program allows you to color-code each person and task so it is easy to look at and not super confusing. It makes it easier to make sure someone never misses a deadline or assignment. I am able ot create templates for different tasks and parts of my workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are unable to switch between Task and Kanban project views once they are created... just a minor item but something you should know about if you use the software. The downside is having yet another software to manage... but as Asana grows and links to other softwares it will become more of a powerhouse in this project management system world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is an incredible collaboration tool. It assists teams in managing several different tasks. It is a bit difficult to learn but take the time and get to know the software before giving up. It is very flexible and can be used for so many things!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is difficult to learn... but spend the time, complete the available trainings, utilize the support staff at Asana. This product is worth the effort that it takes to get started.
Easy and fast
What do you like best about the product?
The custom labels available with the paid plans are a valuable addition for true business workflow productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two basic in some ways. Their are temps at adding features like capacity planning are improving but still not there yet. Another one of our complaints is that we cannot switch back and forth between board and list view of tasks. You must pick when you set up a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our core to do list management tool, although we have more specialized tools for other parts of our workflow.
Love this product.
What do you like best about the product?
What I LOVE is the ability for users to tag tasks, and then have a view of only those tags. I love that you can also add in projects which are essential isolated lists outside of the aggregate.

That there isnt the ability to toggle between tile/calendar or task list.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management of projects
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.
Great Collaboration and Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Very accessible software for project management. Easy to tag projects, include necessary stakeholders and partners, follow progress, and notify people associated with projects or departments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Analytics and reporting are a a bit limited. Shouldn't be used for a true project management software for something like an Agile methodology.

It is very nice Team and project management software with many different functions. Easy integration with various software
What do you dislike about the product?
Email functionality and integration with Microsoft 365 and Outlook 2016. It is also little complex to make it work with Share Point.

I would most definitely use Asana if you're teams are struggling to keep their content and conversations organized.
Great for managing teams and projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has multiple options for organizing different types of projects and even company documents. I love that you can assign and view tasks in a calendar mode versus a list dependent upon preference. Assigning due dates with reminders is a great way to hold our team accountable for tasks. I also love that it's updated in real time so changes are instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow to load. I often find delays when I start typing for the words to appear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
