Great Task Management Tool to Increase Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create tasks, share with colleagues, and even keep track of deadlines on calendars. This platform brings so many solutions together and makes the workflow simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing. The pricing is per month versus having a flat yearly rate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity and keeping track of tasks has become a no-brainer. Being able to create and share tasks, documents, and see them on a calendar with deadlines has helped me to organize better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a one-stop shop of organization and workflow. The ways to organize tasks, share calendars, tasks, and files is amazing.
Easy to use simple Project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Mobile app is easy to use. Integrates with Gmail and Zapier. Easy to see tasks from multiple projects in one list by due date. Ability to set recurring tasks was the best feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
No inbuilt time tracking.
No clarity on project or task priority.
Unable to see team workload to assess availability.
Unable to set expected timeframes for tasks/projects.
Each workspace is separate so you have to go into each one to view due tasks.
Sometimes would end up with duplicate tasks because one task applied to multiple projects.
Once the view type (list or board) was selected for a project you can't change it. I personally prefer the list view but other team members worked better with board view. Would've been good for the user to choose their own view of the info.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working as a digital services provider with a remote team we used Asana to track client tasks, map out tasks for bigger projects, mapping out SOPs, communicate with each other about tasks and queries.
Benefits: it was free, easy enough for new team members to learn, could also use it as a basic CRM/sales tracker.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for startups and freelancers who want better project management than a to-do list app, but if you're looking for a platform with tracking and reporting this isn't the right app for you.
Great Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love the look and feel of this project management system, it is also simple to learn and set up and it's a simple system for anyone to learn. I love the fact that you can switch between line views and the boards plus they've added additional options. They have also set it up where you can track tasks using Harvest right inside of the app per task which is great for Virtual Assistants or anyone billing by a task or by the hour. It's also a fun software, unlike some other software that is dry and unimpressionable Asana leaves you in a fun and playful mood.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the fact that they do not offer a solo upgrade option, you have to pay for 5 seats in order to access the premium features which sucks because let's face it who wants to pay for 4 extra seats that you won't be using and may never use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and task management. I've also recently started trying it out for my social media content planning and saving the posts that I'm planning and sending out using Sendible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a solo company then you will be disappointed in the fact that you have to pay for five seats in order to gain access to the premium features. Otherwise, if you're okay with limited features then this is a great and simple solution for your project and task management needs.
Asana has a lot of potential, but doesn't always deliver.
What do you like best about the product?
As a user who is assigned tasks more often than I create them, I like Asana because it is easy to see at a glance what tasks I need to complete and I can prioritize my list according to due date. It's super straight forward and makes it easy to be organized so projects don't fall through the cracks on a busy team. They also have great and easy to follow tutorials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a lot of features - tasks, projects, portfolios, sections, and more. It can almost feel like they have TOO much going on. For me personally, I concentrate on tasks and the overarching projects they fall under. All the other features are unnecessary and just make the program seem cluttered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit to me is the ability for teams to easily break projects down into individual tasks and assign those tasks to team members. It makes it so everyone is on the same page and can easily find out what they have to accomplish that day, week, and month. Asana makes it simple for everyone to be organized and not forget about assignments, no matter how big or small. It helps organize teams, but each individual user can use Asana in whatever way makes sense to them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great, just figure out what you need it for and make it work for you. Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of different options and features.
Asana is an alternative for for workload management with window to improve.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana will help you manage your workload within your team by allowing one to be the managing force while others follow. The team can either be small or big, and it should help you with managing time, tasks and so one.
you can specify which task is assigned to who and the time where you expect this task to be complete. Once the task is complete people can upload the file (if a file) or update the progress within a certain task.

What do you dislike about the product?
It feels lacking behind some of the competitors even though it allows you to do most of the stuff, Asana feels more like an alternative route where there's already a pre-established road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped our small team of 4 manage the workload more efficiently, keeping track of our progress and dividing and conquering tasks.

I like Asana because it has many ideal advantages to manage my projects, I like the function of timeline that offers and the ability to monitor the progress of other team members in common or interrelated tasks which allows the team in general to be efficient and have an easy follow up of everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only two aspects that I do not like about Asana, the first is that once I select a format for a project, I can not change it and the other is that the boards are very basic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It brings great benefit to my work since it allows me to see all my tasks as a list, a project in its entirety or separated into elements, I have also been able to see the projects of my teammates. Also, it has allowed me to add sub tasks to tasks, in general it is very useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
