Great project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Very detailed project management tool compared to others I have tried in the past. You can have parent tasks and tasks within other tasks which all link together. You get notifications to let you know when anyone has commented or a task has changed at all. You will never miss a comment. Very beneficial if you're having issues with task management. You can see what your team are doing at a single moment if you need to check at an instant.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to train people on it as it can be quite complicated but definitely worth taking the take to realise all the features. A lot of emails if you are an admin but can be changed in settings. You also have to update the in progress etc a lot but this can be beneficial and negative. Can be quite pricey when expanding your business as you need to pay for additional team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it for multiple projects. Using it to track progress as a brief owner. I can see out a project from brief to amends and also the sign off process too. Using Asana can be very beneficial to your business. Use it from start to finish with projects. From brief to completion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get Asana if you're looking for a great detailed project management tool. It can be challenging to learn but definitely worth the time you may invest in it.
Asana has incredibly improved the way we work in the company
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to tell at a glance who's doing what for when.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a restyling in the tasks list, it's too plain, and if the list is long it's a bit difficult to get clear conclussions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I first entered int he company, March 2018 tasks weren't being organised, everyone knew what to do but you couldn't find it nowhere. So my challenge in the company was creating a Asana driven working culture. One year later we have noticed a great improvement in the company's effectiveness. We use Asana for EVERYTHING, and there are many freaks (myself included) whoa re looking for new functions we could use.
Great task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes managing personal and team projects a breeze. Being able to manage company wide projects and track progress helps keep everyone accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some great features are only available with premium subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greatest problem solved is keeping initiatives in one place and viewable company wide.
Perfect for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Its interface is beautiful. I like its user friendly interface and how the card are managed. It is very flexible and very easy to use. Asana will help the with the main things during the project such as registering new projects and tasks, assigning the tasks to team members, notifications about things that are done or some comments, scheduling dates, permissions to the project, watchers who are involved in the project and etc. It is great that the board is adjustable and one can easily adjust that to his mind. The reports and graphs are great also, that Asana provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to say wrong about Asana. But i do not like the number of notifications that i receive on email, every move and every comment that are done to the project, where i am added and involved, i am sent and email. Sometimes it is very boring. I think it should be stabilized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks management and team management are the main problem that i am resolving with Asana. It is easy and fast to assign tasks to team members and monitor them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended to project managers and team workers. It tides everything in its place.
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

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.

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our tasks have similar names in all of our projects, it’s really hard to tell what project a task is associated with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previous communication issues among different moving team members.
