Another thing to keep track of until you don’t
What do you like best about the product?
It has a number of features that, if managed diligently, can make larger projects easier to manage between users.

The program is but another step to manage when going through work. Micromanaging projects can become more tedious and time consuming than verbal communication.

Building projects for IT.

Helps small agencies manage massive projects
What do you like best about the product?
We're a team of 10 and manage over 40+ clients and projects each month. Asana helps us organize every task, assign roles, develop timelines and track progress. Its template feature allows us to map out reoccurring retainers and processes like onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a great platform, but there's a bit of a learning curve with some employees. We've had to create a training process for it specifically. Once they get the hang of it though, it saves a tremendous amount of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a small team, Asana has really helped our agency scale (while keeping sane). It allows us to keep comments and documents collected within a single project task. We also use labels to locate archived tasks at later dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It never hurts to try it out! Be sure and check out Asana's resources. We found them extremely helpful while setting up our reoccurring templates.
Organize, Track, Manage on Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like it's calendar feature best and checking items off when finished. It is best for use to plan your days accordingly when working.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not a very collaborative application. It stiffly is for help scheduling and getting approval from boss. We have to travel across a wide variety of platforms to properly collaborate. You can really finalize things here when you need approval and scheduling and tasking yourself but I'd wish for an application that does both the organization and collaborative piece - it feels more like facebook comments rather than using google docs to collaborate and communicate. Possibly them adding in an area where you can work and edit on documents together would work well and make the comment feature a little less chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for scheduling. I use the calendar religiously for looking ahead and seeing what tasks have to be done on certain days and making sure we get things done in a timely fashion. Notifications to the team are quick and will ensure me fast responses when issues arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is designed for being task oriented. It is not designed for collaboration - so do not use if you want to be able to use it for both an organization and collaboration function.
Fast & Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Asana is that it can be anything you need it to be. Their platform is extremely easy to use and with a limitless amount of customization, you can find a way to make it work for your business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of being easy to use is that sometimes it's used a little bit too much. Creating a variety of redundant tasks or tasks that are so granular they lose effectiveness can result in lost productivity. Also, it is easy to create tasks within a project and within other tasks which are not assigned to any users and may become "lost" in the Asana ecosphere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Asana to better streamline our development processes for building websites & custom software, managing support ticket requests & internal project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To get the most out of this platform you really need to understand what you're trying to achieve and design a system that works for you. Spend some time beforehand planning out your implementation and it will pay for itself in the long run.
Asana for project management
What do you like best about the product?
It is good to be able to attach documents and copy and paste information sent by email directly in the tasks. I also like that I can clearly see the comment history and know where things have progressed or the status of the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some flaws in the functions of the assistance task, but it has improved or we have improved in maintaining a good management of it. I would like there to be a better function of copying and pasting for tasks and assigning them to save time and be more efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped our organization to keep the deadlines and task management for the team in order. We used to use Google Docs and this allows us to have a good record of the assigned tasks and the information they contain. You do not have to look in emails to find details.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this product to all the companies of my colleagues because it has helped our company to be more organized and responsible from the point of view of the administration. We are clearly assigned to the elements and have a history or creation date, and the information can be easily entered into the tasks.
Need a Project Fixed?
What do you like best about the product?
Great for communicating to different departments bugs, requests and presenting tasks needed to be completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like all the notification by email send. I wish we would get monthly updates. Also, notified clearly once yours if being looked at and more direct when a case it completed. It’s hard to keep up with task you’ve created in the past and log in when it isn’t our main platform that we use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bugs get fix all the time through the in house platform we created. Wonderful place for coworkers to share their ideas to improve work flows
Asana - works collaboratively
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent platform, with which I can manage many projects at once, it allows me to be up to date with the activities, it is very flexible and can be adapted to any work area, it has excellent complements, something that I like very much Asana are its notifications since they let me know when an activity is about to expire.
What do you dislike about the product?
Something I do not like is that its interface is not very customizable, also on occasion and depending on the internet connection it becomes a bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped me and my colleagues to work more efficiently and quickly, since we focused on the most punctual activities to finish on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool that should not be missing in a work team.
Use of Asana for PM
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to pull the right people in on the right information, including task assignments. Use to use with minimal training.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I dislike is that recipients don’t always respond to their invitations, deadlines, etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of a complicated project with many dependencies. It’s a place we can all go back to for a mutual understanding of what’s going on and what’s ahead.
Great for Organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for organizing your daily/weekly tasks that are time sensitive. We use them for requests from our customers and I can easily tag each task for different programs and with different customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could use a better search function, especially when pertaining to contacts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this to make sure no customer requests fall through the cracks. All the requests I receive are logged and once they are all cleared, I'll know I can move on with something else.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out with employees that have to juggle a lot of small tasks that can easily fall by the wayside if bombarded.
