Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start slow! Don't put everything in there at once. Find a system that works for you that you can scale with your team.
Game changer!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has changed my entire business operation. With Asana I can be more collaborative and organized with my entire team in a way that allows us to stay highly organized and on schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is virtually nothing that I dislike about Asana. Maybe the Asana team could add the ability to put a time on due dates but I usually just note that in the item description.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams communication and collaboration are so much more effective with Asana. We are killing project deadlines like never before! The biggest benefit is that Asana provides a project overview that was previously unclear using only GSuite.

Best project management solution for large teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a beautiful UI that is very accessible and easy to learn. It is one of the most intuitive, full-featured project management apps out there. For my company I personally reviewed specs for dozens of leading, top-rated project management solutions. In the end there were only 2 or 3 that I could seriously consider, and of those Asana was the clear winner.
It supports sub-tasks, repeating tasks, start dates for tasks, attachments, discussions (with full text formatting), teams (groups with shared projects), interactive Gantt-style charts, calendar overviews, reusable and custom templates, a great mobile app, turning forwarded emails into tasks automatically, and much more. One of the important features for me was private projects in a team setup, and Asana includes that. It works with Google Drive, Dropbox, and other services. There are many custom integrations available.
It also has an impressive development roadmap. I am super excited about where this app is going, and I think the company behind really understands what project management is all about.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced features may require a subscription that is outside the budget of some small companies. However, it is free to try, and the basic features can be used indefinitely at no cost.
At the Premium level (below Business and Enterprise plans), the Gantt charts, which are the primary way to visual resource management at this plan level, are project-specific, rather than companywide.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work for a mid-sized company with about 50 employees. We reached a point where managing projects collectively became a necessity. The old methods of endless email discussions and hand-written marker board notes was not cutting it anymore. Asana allowed us to connect discussions to the projects and tasks they belonged to, which is important when you have projects that span employee turnovers, and makes it easy for everyone to stay in the loop about the current status of every project. It also allowed us to track and prioritize projects, so the most important ones could move forward, and not merely the ones with the most vocal email discussions. The support for private projects and group (team) permissions was important too, because there are projects and tasks that include confidential or sensitive information that are unsuitable for being public to everyone in the company. We have many recurring projects, so support for templates and recurring tasks have eliminated a lot of tedious manual tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a look at Asana's website, where you can find great videos and documentation that show how Asana can work for you.
I. Love. Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps my team organized and moving forward on projects. We have literally hundreds of projects going at any given time across different areas of our team, we would be absolutely lost without some sort of project management software, and Asana is second to none. I live out of the calendar view to plan out and organize my tasks. I love that one task can be organized into multiple projects to keep things organized and streamline across multiple teams. I love the unicorns that fly across my screen when I check off a task. I can't say enough great things about Asana!
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can do SO MUCH, it can sometimes be hard to explain to new users who aren't already familiar with the software. It appears a lot more complicated than it is. I only recently discovered Asana Academy -- I wish those training resources were more available right from the start. Now, when new employees start, I tell them to watch some of the videos in Asana Academy to get the basics before we dive in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has streamlined our project workflow. We use it as our absolute source of truth for any project. All comments, documents, and updates having to do with that project are found in Asana -- which gives everyone on the team line of sight to every project with just a quick search.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is powerful and extremely customizable. It can do anything you want it to do, just give it time and give yourself time to get the hang of it. If you love Trello but wish Trello could do more, Asana is for you!
Efficient Project Tracking!
What do you like best about the product?
Task tracking is so flexible and the tool is really easy for team members to adopt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support from the Asana team hasn't been great. The laundry list of projects gets messy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're organizing our tasks and have a better understanding of what our team is working on. Projects are easily tracked and
Great tool for task and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Steep learning curve. User-friendly interface. Great features that help to manage separate tasks and projects: timeline, customer fields, search, etc. Integration with Outlook and SharePoint.
What do you dislike about the product?
The list of tasks can get messy if you don't clean it. But it's less about Asana and more about employees training.
Subtasks are hard to manage, sometimes they get lost, as you can't see them in the list until you click into the task.

The best task management tool in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's flexibility in handling a multitude of task and project management tasks make it a very useful tool; it does not force you to a specific framework or methodology but it allows enough customization that any of these frameworks can be easily implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
I understand the simpleness of the system is one of its major strengths, but there are simple features that have not yet made it into the product... mobile scheduled alerts for an example... if one intends to use a centralized system for tasks, projects and reference material, it makes sense that alerts and alarms are here as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are automating a good number of business processes in asana from simple and routing recurring meeting agendas to multi-office security programs implementation (CTPAT) including the typical business software implementation project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is best to implement by following the advice of someone who has experience
Asana literally changed the way I live my life (for the better)
What do you like best about the product?
Robust task management with amazing features... recurring tasks, start/end dates, Kanban view, integrations to turn transactional processes into tasks, 'blocked by' functionality, custom fields... almost everything you could need from something that acts as the front-end for your entire career.
What do you dislike about the product?
Features in the free and entry-level paid tiers are being migrated to the super expensive tier, so one day you might wake up and find that something you rely on is no longer available unless you fork over more money (I miss you, Dashboard view). Some features that seem obvious (like tasks that exist in multiple projects, or tasks being assigned to multiple people) are absent and aren't on the roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think I found Asana by googling "free task manager" in mid-2012. I signed up for a bunch of different services, but Asana had the best search, so that was the one I stuck with. I added my work projects, invited my coworkers, and it was great. Then I realized that I could create a workspace for home improvement projects and share it with my spouse. Then I started turning everything into tasks... student loan payments, ideas for novels, toy wishlists for the kids, weekly chores... like, *everything* can go into Asana, and if I give it a due date then I don't have to keep track of it in my head. It felt like I went from struggling to stay afloat in open waters with cement blocks tied to my ankles to sitting in one of those inflatable chair things that rich people on TV use in their pools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the free tier. You can do a ton of stuff without having to pay anything, or even have a credit card on file. My team used the free tier for four or five years until with decided the timeline view was worth upgrading for.
Project control with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The team integration and automation of the communicacions between team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Inbox. I receive email notificacions and notifications from th mobile app, but I have never used the Inbox. It just sits there with an orange dot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning and following up with my projects. We have very detailed projects that require several tasks and subtasks and with Asana, this is very simple.
