ASANA, Great for project tasking for teams
What do you like best about the product?
Can assign tasks, due dates, and attach files with ease. Helps to organize all the necessary info for projects in one place for team members and cooperation.
What do you dislike about the product?
When there are numerous comments on a task, it is hard to search or scroll to bottom for the newest comment. When only tagged (not assigned) for tasks, it can get hard to look at files and tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management among different team members. All the different departments, e.g. sales, design, engineering, can share the tool.

Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana made it easy for members of my team to communicate in a timely manner. It was also easy to stay organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found Asana difficult to use unless I was at my computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greater clarity of communication and easier to meet deadlines.
Great resource for small non-profit
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy that I am able to track my team's progress on projects and use it to delegate tasks as needed. It helps keep work moving smoothly when working with mostly volunteers. Ease of use is also important and there are no issues with understanding this application from myself or my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the free version allowed more users since we have more than 15 people who could be using the application but have to limit it to people with the most important roles or the most active people. We cannot afford a paid membership at the moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to better keep track of the progress of important tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Figure out the best way to break up tasks. I recommend tasks that take 1-2 hours and them add them to Asana. If they are taking longer or shorter amounts of time your productivity will hurt. Breaking tasks in the app to 1-2 hours helped our agency be most effective.
For an anti-task manager user, I like Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The top two features available in Asana is nested tasks and drag/drop functionality. It also auto-integrates with a lot of other platforms like Slack. Honestly, you can do quite a bit already with IFTTT but I feel more comfortable with the built-in integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if the things labeled (like projects or tasks) give more direction on what should be included. I've had plenty of managers and team members misuse the product because they don't know when to use certain elements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps bring together teams that telecommunicate and don't meet physically regularly. It also helps keep track of all tasks big and small. It also lets you update external parties on their tasks statuses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
YOU MUST TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES. Asana is great and powerful but if you don't teach your employees to use it, it will fail. Also, make sure your ADMINS know how to use it properly.
My first time using a project management system
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the flow of all of the boards, and how the tasks were able to move across the board to different stages. I also like it's simplicity, and ease of use: you can just click and type, no need to click and then click an edit button. Also, I like that there's an overview of your assigned tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the little to no integration to tasks being completed by a merge request on some kinda of version control repository. I see you can just add a comment with a linked url, but I think it'd be better to reference a merge request number.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was just purely used as a project management for our planning documents, because of its lack in github integration to tie tasks with merge requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think this would be a better product of you offered more integration with outside resources than it just being a simple project management tool. It's nice ease in use, but I feel like it's lacking in actual tracking abilities. I only say this, because my group ended up just switching to GitLab completely, because of issue tracking that can be used as project management tool.
Great for team work
What do you like best about the product?
The features are easy to understand, teams can communicate easilt and a manager has no problems coordinating team tasks and deliverables
What do you dislike about the product?
Better integration of calendars, comment feature on tasks could be improved and the mobile app upgraded
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is great for small and medium teams to communicate, coordinate and complete deliverables - from across borders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out as a trial to see if it fits your needs
Review for Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Similar to Trello- I like how users can collaborate and organize tasks for various projects across teams. With the capability of sharing and communication through notes and tagging- users can keep others accountable for projects and deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it had a drag and drop capability like Trello does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing tasks and publishing content for projects. Seeing at a high level who is working on what and organizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommend over most task management tool- especially for accountability.
ASANA gets it done!
What do you like best about the product?
ASANA allows me to carefully monitor the progress on all tasks assigned to my Team. This is vitally important to the success of my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that I could break some of the huge tasks into more sub-tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and task management are a breeze with ASANA. The fact that it is so user-friendly allows me to quickly and easily add new Team members to it!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Looking for a great project or task management tool? ASANA is THE tool you need!
Fantastic project management tool - everything you need in one place!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how tactile the interface is, you can choose from a variety of different set ups (boards like Trello, lists, etc.) It's really easy to colour code and customize - you can assign to people and visually see who is in charge of what. It's the best!
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the features that I would love (tasks depending on other tasks, templates) are in the paid version, which is understandable. It's quite a robust tool at the free level, and I'm not prepared to upgrade to the paid version yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping myself, my team and my clients on task during projects. Ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free so try it out! There are lots of different ways to use it - find what works best for you! My favourite hack is syncing the deadlines with your calendar!
It's a great organisation tool but doesn't quite do everything we need it to
What do you like best about the product?
Asana became roughly 100 times more useful to me after they introduced the Trello style project boards (why wasn't I using Trello to begin with I hear you cry? Probably a good question...), as I was able to use it effectively to share project timelines with clients in an easy to understand visual format.
What do you dislike about the product?
With multiple projects in there everything quickly gets clumped up together and I found that things were getting lost easily, if you try and use it to document everything you very quickly end up with a big admin task to complete. It would be nice if there was a slicker way to mark projects as complete (such as specifying a 'complete' column on the project boards which automatically marked them)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an agency we were a bit haphazard with our task management so Asana brought some order to that.
