Good Project Management System
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface - it quickly becomes second nature to add in additional tasks. The flexibility is also great. You can decide the type of structure you have to the tasks and sub-tasks, and change easily when required. It's very easy to adopt and get started. We have used it for 5-6 years and it is very stable, reliable and any changes are subtle improvements rather than structure/data breaking.
What do you dislike about the product?
We often use 3 levels of sub-tasks and it is a bit cumbersome clicking down through the tasks. It would be great to have an option to expand sub-tasks within the parent task list and have some visibility of how many sub-tasks are incomplete for any given task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most business tasks and processes are defined with Asana. We have more structure and more rigour when completing and testing projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try. It's free and very easy to get started with. The biggest issue is working out how to use it for your business. Just try something then change it as soon as you think of another way of working.
Asana has been game-changing for our project management.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows you to break down tasks between each member of your team and see an overview calendar of who is working on which projects compared to when they are due. It allows my team to work more easily together and stay on top of the variety of marketing project we have.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are almost too many features to where it can somewhat get confusing to find exactly what you are looking for from the projects, portfolios, tasks and inbox. I wish this platform providing tagging or it could search inside projects, not just for project names. I wish we could have sub-project lists from the main projects menu. Currently, there is only one long list of all the projects from this area of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to at a glance see all of the projects our marketing team is working on and dig down into how many projects we have per area of the company. We can assign individual tasks in projects to specific people and give them due dates. When working on a project, you can respond directly in the email and your response shows up in the project in asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you start setting up with an organizational structure in mind and different types of project templates. The more organized, the better.
Asana is good for basic project management; it's not great for more complex projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a good digital to-do list, basically. I like that it reminds me daily about what I need to accomplish. It does help me handle multiple projects at one time. However, I find the more "complex" elements (like the content calendar, for example) to be confusing and unintuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain aspects are just plain confusing, and others are overly simplistic. I don't find the editorial calendars to be particularly useful, example. I also find it difficult to communicate within the app. The threads are confusing, and there's no good way to attach documents for review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana definitely helps keep me organized, and has eliminated the need for some face-to-face meetings with my manager. Outside of that, I don't really use it that much. Its primary function is to remind me of due dates. The templates and boards just seem clunky to me, as is in-app communication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a basic project management tool, it's a good one.
Good Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
This is a great tool for team collaboration. It is very easy to use with friendly and beautiful interface, with quick buttons and etc. It is very simple in Asana to create task or project, to assign new user, give them permissions, receive notifications about tasks, project and thing done, scheduling tasks, managing watchers. Managing the task board is very simple and comfortable, dragging and adding sub tasks, organizing them. The interface of the application is great and very beautiful. Colors are brilliant. Asana can be integrated with other programs and it makes working in it very comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be some training or tutorials for the new users, it would be great if one can easily study first steps in Asana with some tutorials. There is no more something special to say bad about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing tasks and assigning it to my team is the main reason i use Asana. It is very helpful and makes my work simpler.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is perfect program for people who are working in team or heading the team, Asana will help them very much. It will make their work day more comfortable.
Good to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
What do you like best about the product?
The ability of Asana to easily schedule and collaborate on tasks within a team or department.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it can get quite noisy if you are following many projects, then it takes lots of time to wade through where you are added and to adjust notification settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To ensure that in meetings tasks are followed and communication on the progress of a project is instantaneous and moving.

I’ve only had positive experiences working with Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how organized you can be, primarily while being on a team/group to assign tasks and see what has gotten done, what needs to get done etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t love how the app version is missing a lot of features you get on the desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a research lab, it is often difficult to keep track of who is doing what on a project. This is such a great way to stay organized. I also use it for individual purposes to make lists of everything I need to do and for when, so it makes me more efficient at work

Improve your productivity using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has collaborated a lot in the sustained growth of our Foundation. A couple of years ago we were looking for different mechanisms to encourage workers to integrate and strengthen teamwork, and Asana was a great solution to achieve this. Asana has many functions that we use in our foundation; task managers, labels, notes, comments, personal projects, statistics are several of the functions that this software offers you; all these functions are included in its workspace tool, which is broken down into projects, personal projects and tasks, according to the type of project that we are executing in the foundation, we add different types of tasks to be fulfilled by our staff. Asana is a very efficient project manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike other project managers I've used before, Asana has the most specialized and comprehensive project management function I've ever used. This software has much more extended functions than other project management software, and its workspace tool meets all the requirements necessary for you to complete your projects successfully. A very complete software and with impeccable tools that have no deficiencies or limitations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has given me a lot of benefits as a worker, and these benefits have enhanced my working career, as this software encourages teamwork. When I work on a project with Asana, I can do better jobs and present better projects and reports, positively conditioning my professional career in our foundation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I always recommend this software because there are many colleagues and companies I know that have excellent ideas and research projects but many are deficient because they do not have a tool that encourages teamwork for the completion of these projects. With Asana and its functional workspace, you will be able to dynamize your projects, adding ideas from all your co-workers, achieving with this higher quality textual products.
