Lightweight tool for heavyweight collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity of Asana. It's incredibly lightweight and accessible without requiring a lot of training or maintenance. Asana places my team's work as the centerpiece of the day, allowing each of us to be empowered, informed, and collaborative as we prioritize our tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The beautiful simplicity of Asana is also its biggest weakness. Some of my team members — particularly the non-millennials — struggle to find key functions that they feel are buried in the interface. As a result, their work becomes less visible, hindering our collaborative capacity (or requiring a lot of manual maintenance from others). Some team members also struggle with the comments on each task, feeling that critical updates are hard to find amongst more trivial task history. Finally, we struggle to make tasks map visually to org-level priorities and initiatives — a shortcoming that the Portfolios feature failed to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a critical solution to allowing our fully distributed team to collaborate remotely from all corners of the globe. Asana enables our team to work in an agile way using value-driven prioritization. With so many lightweight customizations available, each team member is able to work in the most effective way possible while still operating from a unified view of shared work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embed the taxonomy of Asana (Teams/Projects/Tasks) into how your team talks. It's important to operate with a shared understanding of the taxonomy of your work in Asana.
Great task manager app!
What do you like best about the product?
I can create tasks and assign them to my colleagues. I can also select who could access/follow the said task. I could also create personal projects and design it (Kanban style, etc). I could set deadlines for each one and also set up notifications/reminders for it. The best feature it has is the custom animations whenever I finish a task. There are unicorns or cats depending on your settings! It makes me motivated to complete more work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit pricey for organization plans. It has limited features for trial users which is understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our organization in keeping track of what needs to be done. We can also visualize the progress of each project. It also keeps our employees in sticking to their tasks. We do not need to send daily updates as everything can be managed/reviewed in Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a really good tool but it might be costly bigger teams.
Organize your teams and projects with asana
What do you like best about the product?
there are many asana functionalities that I love, so I consider it to be one of the most complete task management tools on the market. It has a considerably intuitive interface for the number of applications it has, which has benefited me and my team, mainly when working with multiple design projects, so we can prioritize each of the activities depending on the delivery time and priority of projects. really is an excellent tool to keep the whole team and customers informed about the progress of projects, get notifications directly to the mail, and helps considerably increase the productivity of the entire company, having a tool to capture all the objectives and also allows you to track the activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a couple of things that I consider in what you can continue developing the application, the first has to do with the initial load of the page, which becomes a bit slow. And the second has to do with its mobile application, which does not have all the functions of its desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To manage design projects within the company and work as a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a very powerful tool to manage projects, tasks, a work team, I recommend you use asana, which has a very comfortable interface, a lot of features that make your job much easier, and its free version is very good, and if you have more demanding requirements you can easily move to its paid version.

Great assistant and organiser for all you tasks. must use it.easy as hell.
Project management extremely useful.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things that I like about Asana is the possibility of creating tasks for 'Projects'. what allows me, instead of making a random list of things that I must do and schedule them with due dates, I can create projects full of tasks necessary to complete those projects and follow them up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can only say that I do not like the limit of projects for team calendar. There is work around, but it becomes cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is beneficial to use Asana because it keeps me on track, because it allows me to collaborate on projects and states to keep everyone updated. For now, I personally enjoy the user interface and the ability to keep track of all tasks.

Asana is a cornerstone towards the success of businesses of today.

There is a revolving door of resources when it comes to Asana. With the program always evolving, I've found extreme use from tutorials, the community, and live/in-person events. The user interface is lovely.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana was more affordable as I build my business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is completely remote so between Asana and Slack, the two exists as our virtual offices.

Perfectly managed my tasks with this app!
What do you like best about the product?
All I can say are great things for this application. It serves well for it's purpose of being the perfect platform in doing daily tasks. It allows its user to prioritize what's important by setting a due date and by allowing to rearrange tasks on feed by the user's choice. It also lets the user assign a task very easily. It accurately finds all relevant task with a simple input of a keyword on the search bar which allows for an easy backtrack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see anything I do not like on this application.

Team working tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like about Asana is that with basic knowledge you can use it. It has very attractive interface. The timeline of Asana gives you the opportunity to monitor the other members of team and the progress of the task or the project. Managing tasks, assigning them to team members, scheduling them and etc, is very easy and comfortable with Asana. Mobile application serves you to be in touch with your and your team members current tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Asana is emails. I receive email every time, someone does some little manipulations with the tasks that i am involved in, and I also get emails from the manipulations i do. That is boring and I think it should be balanced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me and my team with tasks management, with a lot of tasks we have life is easier with Asana. I cans assign new tasks, monitor old ones and be in touch with currents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it to teams, which have to work on many tasks at same time, Asana will help tthem to organize tasks and monitor them.
Gamechanger
What do you like best about the product?
My entire team now uses Asana several times a day. We have a much better grasp on which tasks are urgent and we collect all information about a task the same place.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have clear conventions, it will easily get confusing. A thorough cleaning of old projects is very important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collect information one place

Do it, but make clear conventions for usage.
Awesome product for tasks management - Customise it based on your needs
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of things. We do literally everything through Asana, from HR to product design and development.
It's what we use the most, all tools combined.
It's what we use the most, all tools combined.
What do you dislike about the product?
Templates are hard to use properly. They're fine if the templates don't evolve, but not easy to get by when templates are updated and "duplicates" aren't. Could use a way to sync those based on different strategies.
Also, copy/pasting tasks doesn't copy the description or sub tasks, which doesn't help to manually update projects created from templates.
Also, there are really dumb things that Asana is missing out, like allowing Markdown for tasks description or comments. That would be very useful and could also allow us to use Asana as a "rich-text" content platform, where we could write tutorials, guide and such.

We handle our HR integration, product design, product development, marketing, strategy, lots of things really.
We were using Trello before, but Asana is on a complete different level of quality of communication and interactions.

Give it a try, one of Asana's best quality is its flexibility: You adapt it to your needs, not the other way around.
