I want so much to like this program, but it falls short
What do you like best about the product?
Disclaimer: This review is strictly for the free version. In theory, Asana is a good tool to keep you or your team on task. The updates synchronize with most calendar applications and it is helpful to be able to check progress in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot the functions that we really want to make use of are not available in the free version and it makes it challenging to properly test out its capabilities before making the commitment to upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team communication. It creates transparency amongst everyone.
Excellent for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like it because it is easy to use and facilitates collaboration. I also like it because it is a very essential tool that has helped me to exchange many ideas, also to keep all my tasks updated, it also allows me to keep track of the timeline, the assignment of tasks, many notifications and reminders capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally, when I started using Asana, it seemed a bit confusing, but with time and effort I managed to understand how to use this valuable tool that has made everything easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In general, Asana is a super easy-to-use tool, it has helped me keep myself and my team organized and keep up to date with activities and businesses, as it allows us to see our completed projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that Asana start organizing your projects and tasks, it is a great product that you can use from the web anywhere in the world simply by logging in with your Google account and having an Internet connection, it is an excellent platform to organize all your activities.
Good scheduling tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps to schedule tasks and set deadlines. Within tasks you can set sub tasks and that really helps as well, allowing me to segment a long term task into short term goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instead of having a proprietary calendar, if Asana could sync with Google or iCal that would be very helpful. It's UI also isn't the most intuitive, and it takes some time to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to take notes and set deadlines to tasks. Using asana to assign tasks to other team members also is a very useful feature which allows for good division of labour.
project management tool that is the best on the market

Asana is the best tool on the market in my opinion. I dont want to use anything else. It helped our organization to work more effectively in structuring tasks and work and on this note we can also help other people to identify what they need to work on
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like that it is only in the brand that they gave it. I much more like it to add my own colors and logos etcetera
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Get work visualized and structure it with other collegeaus

best tool available
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great management software that has greatly helped my colleagues and I when working in teams. It’s extremely helpful because it enables you to track the progress of other teammates. It has a wide variety of tools that make working with it extremely amazing. I love the fact that this software offers predefined features such as project planning and task attachment. Asana is fast efficient and absolutely user friendly. It simply gets the job done!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly have nothing I dislike about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’ve been able to accomplish tasks faster and this has reduced the work load in the office. I’m glad we are able to track progress of every team member during teamwork because this saves on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Asana to any group of people working in teams. Whatever it is you’ll find Asana extremely helpful.
Easy and effective
What do you like best about the product?
We moved from Jira to Asana because Asana was faster and easier to use. Planning tasks in Asana is agile and we can track very well the evolution of our projects.
Calendar view helps to reschedule task very fast and, in some context, it helps to see the load of each team member.
To search a task is also easy, the filters shown are very useful to find tasks that the team is working on and task that are planned.
Having multiple teams and multiple projects makes it a tool to manage tasks in almost every department of the company. Colours for projects makes it easy to identify them.

What do you dislike about the product?
They release new key features at twice the price of the basic subscription.
The view of a task is too small when the list of tasks is also shown.
The panel view is too small when showing just a few tasks (more than 20).
Searching for old tasks is not as easy as searching for new tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning projects, product development. We use calendars and "My task" view, which is quite useful to focus on what you have to do.
With Asana, we have a quick and easy way to create a task, assign and plan. Now we plan 4 times faster than we could do it in Jira.

Using it with everhour helps to track very well the effort of the team.
The Go-To Task Management App
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and flexibility of usage. The UI is clean and easy to navigate
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough customization options (dark mode, moving sidebars, hiding sidebars, text & row size)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem is prioritizing tasks as well as recording/capturing them to avoid forgetting. It is helpful, in staying organized as well for different projects and showing progress to others. It makes delegation and collaboration on projects easier and clear for project members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
watch the getting started videos and the blogs to learn how to use it properly and well. There are also user case studies that show how some power users utilize the app.
A To-Do List for the Serious
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very flexible and capable project management tool. At its simplest it a to-do list for the serious. At is most complicated it looks like it can accomodate the management of a large team.
The task structure and option were quite nice and the ability to organize into sub tasks and projects was very nice.
Both the mobile and web app are nicely designed and easy to use and adopt.

What do you dislike about the product?
When switching from an app like Trello, or even Notepad, it can feel a bit cumbersome since it really does try to provide a professional and robust project management offering.
I almost wish there was a "simple" view that abstracted away some of the robust option they provide but I suspect this would be to a different market segment than they're offering value to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to solve day-to-day task management of a distributed team that communicates in an asynchronous manner.
To be able to get a project's or a person's workload in a glance was the goal. Oh, and to rely less on email.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
At the end of the day, Asana is a to-do list on steroids. It can be too much for a small team but for larger teams with more complex projects it would be a good fit.
Asana is one of the best team management applications I have ever used.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Asana is the fact that I can seamlessly add and remove team members whenever I need them to focus on a single task, and when that task no longer needs their services and they can get back to another task.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not so straight forward, it is a bit hard to maneuver at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to strategize certain tasks and get all hands on deck whenever it is needed. The biggest benefit of having Asana is having a program that is a one stop shop. We can have everything we need in one place and don't need to utilize other programs to plan out tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is amazing because it has all of the tools you need in one place. You can add and remove team members from certain projects and maintain them seamlessly. I would definitely recommend using Asana if you are a mid size organization looking to maximize your time on certain tasks.
Helpful project management tool with a lot of great features
What do you like best about the product?
I like the collaborative features for team-based projects as well as the user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the difficulty to delete tasks and the drag and drop isn't as easy as Trello
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving meeting and project task prioritization. We are able to work more effectively and better utilize meeting time by using Asana for meeting agenda prep.
