Great design, functionality, but convoluted
What do you like best about the product?
I like the sleek design and simplicity and the ability to easily add files and make tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the sidebar to the left often looks jumbled and messy and not enough hierarchy for legibility (looks like a list). I don't like the project management aspect that basically subtasks everything especially when there are multiple teams involved. As a Designer I just want to what I am working on rather than first seeing the task that is due which is often the opposite with Asana. It reads just with the check mark first and the task in the project, but with the Project name small at the end. It would be helpful to have that order switched for context sake.

Good, but not as good as they think...
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana provides flexibility in how projects and tasks can be displayed, and how others can be notified as to what stage work has reached. Also the integrations with other software including Google Forms are useful, if a little clunky at times.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality is at sixes and sevens. Some parts are intuitive, others parts are not. Whilst having lots of flexibility can be useful, not having consistency is fatal to maintaining any order. Also, it would have been nice for them to have created some standard templates to deal with weekly/monthly tasks using standard naming like business week numbers or month names. Instead you have to create and then duplicate them, and then alter them one by one - which is torture. The bombardment of alerts on minor changes can be as painful as those on dropbox - I know this is caused by user behaviour, but could be reined in by the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing cross departmental projects, OKRs and individual tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try and agree a commonality in how things are set up, don't just let it become the wild west!
Great tool
What do you like best about the product?
Good overview, all necessary functions, good design, also liked by customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we add customers to a team, they can see all the team's projects. The rights assignment for team members is not conveniently solved. You always have to set up a new team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduction of communication to the necessary minimum. Clear overview of communication and fulfillment of tasks.
Asana helps you stay organized and is ideal for multitasking
What do you like best about the product?
I really like this software due to its aid with collaboration between team members and managing many projects at once with lots of tiny parts to it, specifically social media campaigns. I honestly don't know how I would stay on top of things so seamlessly if it weren't for Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout can be a little bit annoying and appear to be daunting -- I think the organization could be improved a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross-team collaboration, collaboration amongst offices across North American, successful multitasking, the ultimate to-do list
I really love this platform.
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it really easy to share topics in a timely manner. I used it to pitch ideas before for comedy, and it's really great at helping a whole team come together from across the country. If you're thinking about it, don't! Just go for it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like how it's difficult to change labels on it. If I could help the dev team with anything, I'd give them that feedback - moving a convo between labels is difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to bring a whole team together through Asana. I have benefitted from it's great refresh rate. It really is responses almost instantaneously, which is important when you're doing timely work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really weigh the response time. Lag time is harmful if your work is time sensitive. Mine was, and this was a good solution. Check it out!
Useful task management software
What do you like best about the product?
Our company primarily used Asana for task delegation and keeping track of multiple projects simultaneously. Asana combines a simple user interface with comprehensive task assignment and management which is especially useful for companies where some personnel work remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took several months to fully integrate the software into the culture of our company. It may not be intuitive for those members who are not familiar with similar software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of numerous projects and tasks for a company that has personnel working remotely and numerous projects happening simultaneously.

Great option for a companies with many active projects handled by different personnel at different sites throughout the day. It may not be optimal for every company, especially if employees are not adept at using internet applications.

Easily Organize Your Work Tasks for Yourself
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was very simple to use; I was able to quickly create tasks and assign them to specific days. I was also able to add specific notes and continuously update the tasks as I progressed with my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only confusing items were "projects" vs tasks....it took me quite a while to understand what the difference were between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, I want to make sure I am hitting my deadlines, speaking to the clients as promised, as well as remember all the details that went with every appointment. It definitely is a great memory jogger and helps me gain better trust with my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a task software to help you stay accountable to your deadlines as well as keep meticulous notes on events, Asana is a great platform. This is also a great tool to use if you are working a project with multiple people, and you can set sharing properties to collaborate or keep projects private.
The best free resource for my business to ensure project management!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a GREAT free resource for my photo editing business. I love that I can easily monitor several aspects of my business, including start times and due dates, all on a easy to use calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that I could do more editing and adjusting from the calendar view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am more organized and am better able to see the big picture and projected future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to use, perfect for tracking projects and timelines for blog posts, clients, etc.
