Develop and organize your tasks faster
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana I can make the development process of my projects faster, since it offers me excellent tools with which I can assign tasks to my work team, I have the possibility of creating boards in which I can add my activity lists and documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not really like its interface, I think it lacks more customization options and more colors, I also think that Asana plans are a bit expensive and it depends a lot on the number of members that make up my team.

Asana, helps me to be more attentive to recent activities and those that are about to expire, also makes my team more productive when developing projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Asana is a very minimalist application
What do you like best about the product?
One of Asana's slogans is to make workflows more fun, I differ from that because Asana is just another project manager where you have to familiarize yourself with the platform in order to take advantage of it. It is user friendly in every way and with a free version to test its features. The main difference with its competitors is the extreme simplicity with which you handle workflows but this limits the compatibility with the administration data and multimedia files. Its work panel is very simple and tries to show everything in the main menu so it can increase the stress of having so much work in front of you.
It is built to design workflows in blocks in a very intuitive and easy way, from the beginning you can create workflows without specifying a specific project. It is very productive for work teams that are very committed to the project because otherwise Asana will be sterile, tasks can be assigned to different people and comments can be made on each giving rise to a working discussion, this interactivity is very important although there should be an online chat for this. It is beneficial to have the ability to upload files up to 100 MB in weight, which facilitates communication and sharing large files. The calendar view of the projects is well implemented and is very useful to filter the projects and not see them all on the main screen.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a strange platform that does not seem to take a successful course, its vision of managing workflows does not convince because all flows can be seen from the main screen and this only makes the management of the project stressful and confusing, there must be some way to better filter each project so they are not confused with each other. The system of created tasks is subject to many errors because sometimes they are not saved automatically and this causes discomfort, I think the aspect of Asana should change to a more careful in text editing, remember that it is not a simple tool for notes but project management. Ideal would be to have a platform like Evernote but intended for workflows.
It is frustrating not to be able to change the background, the colors in Asana's platform, this could serve to differentiate different projects and adapt to the visual preferences of each employee included in the edition of a project. The most resultant features are only available in the paid version and this seems to me a limitation because many will be disappointed with the few options of the free option thinking that Asana does not offer anything else. I see that animations have been added as a symbol of celebration, I do not like it, I prefer to improve the platform in terms of adding more complex functions and get out of minimalism.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a minimalist platform that allows little customization and focuses on little modifiable workflows. It is user friendly but with a confusing approach that will make many go for better developed options. For the time being I will continue to use it for simple projects but it is not recommended to use it in complex projects.

Make your work a more interactive process

Great project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Very detailed project management tool compared to others I have tried in the past. You can have parent tasks and tasks within other tasks which all link together. You get notifications to let you know when anyone has commented or a task has changed at all. You will never miss a comment. Very beneficial if you're having issues with task management. You can see what your team are doing at a single moment if you need to check at an instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to train people on it as it can be quite complicated but definitely worth taking the take to realise all the features. A lot of emails if you are an admin but can be changed in settings. You also have to update the in progress etc a lot but this can be beneficial and negative. Can be quite pricey when expanding your business as you need to pay for additional team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it for multiple projects. Using it to track progress as a brief owner. I can see out a project from brief to amends and also the sign off process too. Using Asana can be very beneficial to your business. Use it from start to finish with projects. From brief to completion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get Asana if you're looking for a great detailed project management tool. It can be challenging to learn but definitely worth the time you may invest in it.
Asana has incredibly improved the way we work in the company
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to tell at a glance who's doing what for when.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a restyling in the tasks list, it's too plain, and if the list is long it's a bit difficult to get clear conclussions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I first entered int he company, March 2018 tasks weren't being organised, everyone knew what to do but you couldn't find it nowhere. So my challenge in the company was creating a Asana driven working culture. One year later we have noticed a great improvement in the company's effectiveness. We use Asana for EVERYTHING, and there are many freaks (myself included) whoa re looking for new functions we could use.
Great task management tool

Asana makes managing personal and team projects a breeze. Being able to manage company wide projects and track progress helps keep everyone accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some great features are only available with premium subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greatest problem solved is keeping initiatives in one place and viewable company wide.
Perfect for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Its interface is beautiful. I like its user friendly interface and how the card are managed. It is very flexible and very easy to use. Asana will help the with the main things during the project such as registering new projects and tasks, assigning the tasks to team members, notifications about things that are done or some comments, scheduling dates, permissions to the project, watchers who are involved in the project and etc. It is great that the board is adjustable and one can easily adjust that to his mind. The reports and graphs are great also, that Asana provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to say wrong about Asana. But i do not like the number of notifications that i receive on email, every move and every comment that are done to the project, where i am added and involved, i am sent and email. Sometimes it is very boring. I think it should be stabilized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks management and team management are the main problem that i am resolving with Asana. It is easy and fast to assign tasks to team members and monitor them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended to project managers and team workers. It tides everything in its place.
