Great for keeping teams on task and organized

The dashboard, perhaps a more modern look or an easier way to scroll through projects.

Keeping tasks and assignments in order. The benefits are people are able to communicate much better and there are less things falling through the cracks.

Deceptive advertising
What do you like best about the product?
great UX/UI - great design, clear to read, good use of white space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Deceptive advertising. Essentially useless as free version. Hidden minimum of 5 users, must purchase in groups of 5. Customer service tried to convince me that paying for users who don't exist was a *GOOD* thing.
They advertise a per-user price, but they don't sell a per-user product. Which makes the entire price a lie. they advertise $9.99/user/month. BUT!! if you have 2 users, and you need collaboration, and custom fields and saved searches (which you do, because otherwise there's no "all tasks" view, so there's no way to get an overview of what you need to do that day), then the price is a LIE.
Since the minimum is 5 users ($50/month, paid annually), the real price is $25/user/month, because they force you to waste money.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No benefits realized, I didn't sign up after I realized they were a deception-based company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that their price is deceptive. Since you're forced to buy in multiples of 5, the advertised price will almost never be accurate (unless you have the correct number of employees in your company so it works out).
Good for some, but not for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Asana works really well as a small project management tool. I like that tasks and calendars are easily integrated and that conversations, notes and documents are easily stored and shared between team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the way the software lists the projects as it feels a bit clunky and cluttered when populated with multiple projects. I also wish that sub-tasks were indicated at the highest level because my team members often overlook them unless each task is manually assigned, which can be tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small nonprofit film production company using asana to track our progress toward goals and activities as realized from our strategic plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the format you will use with Asana and think strategically about how to design your initial setup to control for bulkiness and tedious entries.
Great For Teams with Lots of Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can organize your projects and assign due dates in an organized fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's frustrating that you can't assign a project to two people. That being said, it's forced us to really think about who is the project lead and who is supporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the issue of hitting deadlines. This helps keep our managers organized and make sure we know exactly what is due and when!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that your projects only have one leader. Difficult for collaborative tasks!
Wish they had better notifications
What do you like best about the product?
Great for organization and easy to manage todo lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notification settings are confusing and wish I had more ability to customize how I'm notified similarly like Facebook notification settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication across teams and project management
Clean, easy and streamlined
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to assign tasks to team members, create subtasks, and share comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could edit and organize tags. I also would like to see the board layout get more workflow friendly, meaning I need to be able to mark a task as complete and have it not be visible anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on small and frequent tasks with a small team. I am able to connect jotform to Asana with Zapier, so incoming tasks and information is streamlined and easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You really can't beat the price of free. You can upgrade for more features, but honestly there are loads of great features on the free version. There are also a lot of really useful integrations including Harvest, and a huge variety of integrations you can connect with Zapier.
Team collaboration that beats emails and independent task lists
What do you like best about the product?
Team Conversation - Centralized Tasks
Seems like a lot of features to help collaboration and move away from email for info sharing
Sharing Task lists

Sharing Task lists
What do you dislike about the product?
Can not paste images inline (this is infuriating for information sharing!)!!!
Projects can seem hard to manage, sometimes too much barrier to keeping straight what/where things are organized as per project vs just using as general task list management
wish for easier consolidation of information that is generated outside of the tool (text messages, email importing and cataloging would be very helpful to transition people to the tool)

Central organization of information posts to the team
Some usage of task lists and assigning tasks to other members
remove reliance on sending out group emails or texts....

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would seriously try others including Hive ($) but be careful in evaluating. there is an element of feeling locked in once you start sharing....
great tool for organizing project management
What do you like best about the product?
its a great system to work with a large team that may or may not be in the same office to assist in task assignment and completion that is awesome for keeping each person on task and accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any dislikes at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duplication of work tasks have been alleviated with this tool. We have cut down redundancies and created role and task clarity with this tool.
Great Workflow for Production
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of the boards. Having task boards allow us to visualize what is happening at that moment and see the broad picture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration aspects - we wish it would integrate more fully with other applications that we use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To do list; time management
