Asana is great!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the best task management tool I have tried. It has so many features that I'm actually still learning new things about it all the time - which could be a pro or a con. I love being able to build out a project and assign subtasks to myself and others so that we can all be on the same page with less communication. I love being able to attach inspiration images or mockups so you don't have to dig through your files during a meeting. One of my very favorite features, though, is seeing a unicorn or narwhale shoot across my screen when I check off a task. It's so cute and positive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, I use the free version of Asana and I feel like there are a lot of great tools they do NOT provide in the free version however they often email me about those tools and features. I do wish, of course, that I could use the paid version but it's too expensive for our company right now. I believe it's pay per user, so that adds up pretty quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting due dates and recurring tasks are VERY helpful for not letting small things slip through the cracks. Prior to Asana, I used Wunderlist, and Asana is just a huge step up in terms of all the customization and automation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give the free version a shot! I think it can seem overwhelming at first, especially if you're transferring tasks over from another platform, but that is probably the best way to learn and to try out different ways of setting it up. I like to organize my tasks utilizing the "my tasks" area under "Today" and "This week" under "TODAY" and "Upcoming" and "Waiting" under "UPCOMING". Then, everything else goes under "LATER" sorted into different projects. It's helpful for me to be able to prioritize by "Today" separately from everything else! Look up tips from others though, and you'll find a way to organize your list that best suits you.
Love Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana for keeping me on track with my projects as well as working cross functionally on projects. In my role I have to work with tons of others across marketing and other functions and being able to keep multiple projects going at once and stay on track is important.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I really dislike at the moment, but I do wish it was easier to follow the flow of things being needed at times across teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving not having to work off google docs for my projects and requests and everyone can see where we stand.
Great Project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can customize Asana to my needs and that there are so many options. It is so clear to use and follow. The timeline views for project management are really great for a top level look at how things are moving along.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how easy it is to loose things in the spaces. i think this is more of an issue with the way my organization has organized the spaces, but for me that's the biggest flaw.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to track our project progress and plan. The workload balancing feature has also been really helpful for me and my organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around until you find the right set up for you and your team
An average option unless you go Premium
What do you like best about the product?
It's friendly to use, easy to create boards and assign tasks, very visual and nice interface
What do you dislike about the product?
The good features are only available when you upgrade, so the free version is just a planner - share agenda
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep track of tasks and being able to assign to others, reminders of due dates.
Multi-functional project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Quick access to pending tasks and messages
What do you dislike about the product?
The sometimes confusing interface - it's very "busy" and it's not hard to lose your way at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a useful way to team working remotely to coordinate tasks and keep track of their individual responsibilities
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared for a busy interface but Asana achieves its project management goals
Convenient and fast project management tool for small and medium size teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the speed of the tool.
It's really fast! After Jira with its slow UI and loading issues, it really helps to be on track with fast switching among projects, fast access to favorite projects and the possibility to write weekly updates to every project.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to work on a really big project. Lack of structure can disappoint people who get used to working with much-complicated project management systems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our internal project management tool for business operations team.
Effective Project Organizing
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it easy to map out projects and track progress, for complex interdependent activities and simple or repeating tasks. Use this tool so that you don't have to remember what you were supposed to do!
What do you dislike about the product?
When Asana goes down, I don't remember what I'm supposed to be doing anymore ;)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables me to structure my work throughout the day, week, and month to make sure I'm making progress towards my goals. It also allows for easy collaboration between team members through a common platform that tracks progress and communication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great to have a standard project planning tool for an organization to make it easy to communicate across teams and projects.
Easy visibility, instantly
What do you like best about the product?
The sticky note-like view makes visual organization of project progress a snap, and it's available for free!
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a steep learning curve and a lot of initial feature shock.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PR campaigns rely on people - often dispersed - working in concert. This makes the who's doing what, when question a non-factor.
Asana helps me get my work done
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very very user-friendly. I've never had any technical issues, and it doesn't take me long to navigate the system and see my running to-do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much about Asana's tool that I dislike. If I had to pick one, it would be this: I use a lot of different boards (for each week), and since you can only create a board from the far right, I have to drag it to the left each week, which takes a good 30 seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run my company's marketing team. I use Asana to keep my tasks organized, and have visibility into the status of tasks of my teammates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend having your entire team use the tool. It's the best way to have visibility into progress on specific tasks, which in turn eliminates internal questions.
A great to have collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana will keep you on track in all your projects, deadlines, shared documents, links, etc. in a easy to use interface an at reach of all your team players.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like all features Asana offers, but I would like some more integrations like sms and other mobile features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a Project Developer, I use it with my team to keep on track with all team members task, dealines and communication in one single place.
