Great PM product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and great way to schedule and send calendars / tasks to employees
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much about it sometimes can be confusing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Huge workstreams and easily to view
Not only a task management tool, it helps increase collaboration, transparency and makes work easier
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of the tool. Multiple teams and users can use Asana differently to fit their own work style without requiring any customization.
For example I use list view projects I organize by priority but other team members can use tile-style projects or use my list projects organized by team members.

What do you dislike about the product?
Portfolios (dashboards) cannot be searched within the organization (you need to circulate the link with the relevant stakeholders manually) and the timeline view needs a little bit of manual organization to make the most of the view (each project can be viewed as a task list, calendar or a timeline without requiring additional work)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clarify who is responsible for what, when things are needed. Highlights gaps in the plan before the team runs into the issue.
Ability to create template workflows and standardize processes across organization and team members.
Make the most current information available for whom needs it.
You need the team to use the tool to get these benefits however.

Couldn't Function Without Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the perfect mix of personal/team task management and new features are being added that make it an even more helpful tool. Our team uses it to manage more than 175 events across the world!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the "My Tasks" section could be improved. It works fine, but sometimes I find myself struggling with the default view of that section and there's very limited customization available. As a workaround, I typically create a "dashboard" project and add tasks to that project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to get out of the email inbox and get work done. The collaboration tools are fantastic (and are constantly improving). I spend most of my day with outlook closed and Asana open, so real work can get done.
Ideal for small work teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the best known workflow manager and although it doesn't have many updates and appearance changes, it is still the spearhead to facilitate the management of projects in large teams. The free version is enough for my computer because each user can create a free account and rotate the work without having to pay. On previous occasions we have bought paid memberships but we don't see the need to do it again. The way you can edit the tasks in very comfortable because you can start editing just by posing the mouse on a box, the social interaction within the application gives it a similar look to Facebook and this way the team can make comments on the development of the project in general.
The process to upload files is very dynamic and easy to use, we have not experienced loss of data despite having few updates. The calendar included in Asana and the free templates are fantastic, very similar to Evernote's and in them you can start placing data without having to modify too much. The visual aspect, the speed of the platform in the web environment and the ability to add lots of notes and make comments social network style, make Asana my favorite online project manager.

What do you dislike about the product?
Personalization is something that cannot be applied in Asana in a profound way. While you can change the color of each project to differentiate them, it is not a satisfactory change for those who wish to give a completely different look to the visual appearance of their projects. While Asana remains focused on simplicity, they should allow the introduction of third party applications to empower their platform. If Asana implements the same vision of Slack, allowing the creation of channels and an open API that allows the integration of Bots and classic Google programs, then it would be used by more people and would be more positioned in the world of online projects. There are also errors when editing some boxes, you start typing but it is not saved automatically, although it is a minor problem because generally in Asana are written phrases cut.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has not contributed so significantly to my company's projects because we relegated it to independent work of each work team but the organization that has given us to take control of each step has been great and so we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have notes online and thus not forget the simplest tasks but no less important for the organization and completion of projects.
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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:
It is an excellent tool with which you can keep your work organized in your office, it has a free version with which you can start working, in terms of its Premium version, keep in mind that the larger your work equipment, the more expensive.
A project management tool that goes beyond project management
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, smart user interface, portfolios and custom fields, templates, timeline, status updates, milestones. Ability to link tasks between projects allows to create master projects for executive view and link detailed projects into the master projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easy way to manage custom fields and users in a large team or division.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana business edition for everything, starting from meetings, to brainstorming sessions, to projects of any size and even goal setting.

If you are looking for a work management software that's friendly and powerful choose Asana.
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.
