Asana is an alternative for for workload management with window to improve.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana will help you manage your workload within your team by allowing one to be the managing force while others follow. The team can either be small or big, and it should help you with managing time, tasks and so one.

What do you dislike about the product?
It feels lacking behind some of the competitors even though it allows you to do most of the stuff, Asana feels more like an alternative route where there's already a pre-established road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped our small team of 4 manage the workload more efficiently, keeping track of our progress and dividing and conquering tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a small enterprise or a small team go for it, it would give you the tools needed to manage workload between your colleagues.
Review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can collaborate with others and know the status of their work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had difficulty figuring out how to communicate with one another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Each week I am responsible for putting together an Order of Service for Sunday Worship at the church I work at. Often, we have a "lay leader" who is in charge and Asana is a platform we can use for communication since they are not in the same office as I am.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is definitely worth a try. It is a time management tool that has helped to coordinate and share documentation very easily.
A Simple Solution for Organizing Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
This is so much better than just having to constantly ask everyone what they're working on. Plus, we get good use out of all of the different templates and features. We're using the editorial calendar to keep track of content and it's AMAZING.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little messy and difficult to understand at times. Some of our team members had a hard time figuring out how to get started. It's also just tough to remember to log your tasks and mark them as complete or incomplete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to track content and break projects down into smaller tasks and Asana lets us do that easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient with implementing it and be sure to remind your team often about using it.

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.
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.

Our tasks have similar names in all of our projects, it’s really hard to tell what project a task is associated with.

Previous communication issues among different moving team members.

On every Plattform you can use the Same Functions and everyone can use the Base Functions for free.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up Processes and Managing the Team Task Load
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana can be a very useful tool for starters. The Con is definitly that you can not selfhost it and the Privacy is not a very high protected thing it seems like.
A Well-Worth Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's task assigning system and ability to join teams with a clearly labelled focus is one of its greatest strengths. You are constantly "in the know" about your tasks at hand and can upload descriptions and images, as well as comment on how the assignment is going. Assigners of the task is kept up to date with the person completing the job marks it complete and can track any changes
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to learn, especially with the UI on mobile. It's helpful to sort by both completed and incomplete tasks. Speaking of those tasks, the assigner can overrule you on the task and mark it complete sometimes leaving you out of the loop until you get a notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration with slack has been key. Think of an organised and official to do list that helps keep track of tasks to be done as well as puts it into a professional tracker and loops in a lot of people in your network, but more importantly, the right people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that when beginning to learn, you have a dedicated task and project leaders/committees. Sorting everything out with this overall organisation in mind makes the jump into Asana and its implementation so much easier
