Project and resources management made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Asana best feature, in my opinion, is its transparency.
Allowing all teams to see what each people is working on, without having to ask or interrupt their work, is done wonders for our company. Also, its reports and search tools are advanced enough to allow us to measure efficiency, manage people priorities, and see projects progress.
It is so easy to use that we have 90%+ of our employees use it on a daily basis. It allows for cross-team collaboration. Manage incoming requests, invite clients to see the progress on their projects, or just track maintenance and repairs requests.
There is simply no wrong way of using it, as the tool adapts to each team's workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
not a proper dislike, but I'd just wish the paid tiers were a bit more affordable. As a 100+ premium user company, we would get so much advantages of the newer features that are gated behind the Business tier, which is 10 USD more per user. we just cant afford it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All kinds of problems. Meeting agendas, prioritize people work, track construction projects. Payments tracking, processes, and pipelines design and control, and a lot more! Every single department in our company is using it and it has allowed us to collaborate effortlessly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking into a tool for making your teams collaborate, manage priorities, to-do lists, and make sure all activities on your company have a person in charge; then this tool is for you.
Pretty great place for office tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the board option, being able to see things displayed like that is amazing for visual learners. Love that you can customize your charts and tables and also save them as templates to use in the future for other projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish we had more options for 'subtasks' being able to customize those a little more would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office is able to see tasks and projects that have been in progress and completed very efficiently. We are able to problem solve within Asana using the comment section without having to use another source of communication, so we never lose those conversations they are always within the task/project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you watch the tutorial videos they are short and easy to follow.
Maximizing Productivity with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Your entires team's task tracking is all centralized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version, while powerful, leaves much to be desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A common problem we have had is people dragging their feet with certain tasks. Creating dependencies has opened their eyes people to see how many other people cannot move along with their assignments until these prerequisites are completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First, identify what specific features you are looking for to make sure Asana is the right fit.
Perfect application to organise, track and manage my work as a researcher and lecturer
What do you like best about the product?
intuitive and compelling interface, colour coding, tags, collapsible sections.
What do you dislike about the product?
pricing for the education sector; that 'start date' is a premium feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all, I have decluttered my calendar. Furthermore, I have re-organised the (paper-heavy) workflow for the seminars that I am teaching at the university. When planning and teaching, I now ONLY work digitally with Asana to plan each session, tasks for students that I have to prepare, scans that I have to upload to the university's e-learning platform and so on. Additionally, I use Asana as an editorial calendar to execute scholarly communication through different social media channels for the research project that I am working in. It is also great to write proposals or concept papers collaboratively: e.g. different sections of a concept paper can be assigned to different team members. Most importantly: I now save myself from receiving too many e-mails, especially in terms of website and social media management; now if there is anything to add to the website or to post via social media channels, I get a task assigned or request information via Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even with the free version, you will be able to declutter your tasks and organise your own workflow. Use the "My Tasks" section. Use boards and lists for different types of 'projects' (and yes: to plan a university course is a 'project'). Don't be put off by the 'marketing charm' of Asana: It can very well be used to track and organise tasks in fields such as academia, research project management, scholarly communication.
Amazing simple and intuitive project management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly simple to use. Doesn't require much training at all. Very powerful for limited amount of setup needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Prefer more global settings to customize for unique organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. It is brought our entire organization together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn as much as you can about the software so you can best implement it in your organization.
Great!
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to communicate with coworkers not located in the same office. It is easy to learn.

Our tasks have similar names in all of our projects, it’s really hard to tell what project a task is associated with.

Previous communication issues among different moving team members.

Lightweight tool for heavyweight collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity of Asana. It's incredibly lightweight and accessible without requiring a lot of training or maintenance. Asana places my team's work as the centerpiece of the day, allowing each of us to be empowered, informed, and collaborative as we prioritize our tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The beautiful simplicity of Asana is also its biggest weakness. Some of my team members — particularly the non-millennials — struggle to find key functions that they feel are buried in the interface. As a result, their work becomes less visible, hindering our collaborative capacity (or requiring a lot of manual maintenance from others). Some team members also struggle with the comments on each task, feeling that critical updates are hard to find amongst more trivial task history. Finally, we struggle to make tasks map visually to org-level priorities and initiatives — a shortcoming that the Portfolios feature failed to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a critical solution to allowing our fully distributed team to collaborate remotely from all corners of the globe. Asana enables our team to work in an agile way using value-driven prioritization. With so many lightweight customizations available, each team member is able to work in the most effective way possible while still operating from a unified view of shared work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embed the taxonomy of Asana (Teams/Projects/Tasks) into how your team talks. It's important to operate with a shared understanding of the taxonomy of your work in Asana.
Great task manager app!
What do you like best about the product?
I can create tasks and assign them to my colleagues. I can also select who could access/follow the said task. I could also create personal projects and design it (Kanban style, etc). I could set deadlines for each one and also set up notifications/reminders for it. The best feature it has is the custom animations whenever I finish a task. There are unicorns or cats depending on your settings! It makes me motivated to complete more work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit pricey for organization plans. It has limited features for trial users which is understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our organization in keeping track of what needs to be done. We can also visualize the progress of each project. It also keeps our employees in sticking to their tasks. We do not need to send daily updates as everything can be managed/reviewed in Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a really good tool but it might be costly bigger teams.
Organize your teams and projects with asana
What do you like best about the product?
there are many asana functionalities that I love, so I consider it to be one of the most complete task management tools on the market. It has a considerably intuitive interface for the number of applications it has, which has benefited me and my team, mainly when working with multiple design projects, so we can prioritize each of the activities depending on the delivery time and priority of projects. really is an excellent tool to keep the whole team and customers informed about the progress of projects, get notifications directly to the mail, and helps considerably increase the productivity of the entire company, having a tool to capture all the objectives and also allows you to track the activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of things that I consider in what you can continue developing the application, the first has to do with the initial load of the page, which becomes a bit slow. And the second has to do with its mobile application, which does not have all the functions of its desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To manage design projects within the company and work as a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a very powerful tool to manage projects, tasks, a work team, I recommend you use asana, which has a very comfortable interface, a lot of features that make your job much easier, and its free version is very good, and if you have more demanding requirements you can easily move to its paid version.
