Asana
What do you like best about the product?
asana makes timelines pretty easy to visualize and see
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, it was a hard adjustment to get used to and to understand the program. This is the reason for the lower marks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
asana allows everyone on our team keep up to date with deadlines. We just recently started using the program, so as far as long time use, I do not have much to say about that.
Life saver, world changer, best software ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is one of the smoothest, best-built, cleanest, prettiest, most user-intuitive pieces of software I’ve ever used. I spend 4+ hours daily in it and I love it. As a software engineer who moved into Communications/Marketing Project Management, the software has been designed very well and with the user in mind (Human-Computer Interaction is top-notch), and the project management capabilities are endless. So good. Use it. You won’t regret it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too many things that I can think of!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overseeing a fast-paced agency managing multiple clients and projects, I can keep an eye on my team, client work, and projects without losing my mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For project and team management, this is the way to go.
Great experience!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and navigate, I love being able to assign tasks to teammates and know where others are in the project. Email alerts are a plus!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no software to use offline on your computer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team organization skills and project management
Design is overwhelming while functionality is underwhelming
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the design is more appealing than other project management tools. I like that there are basic functions like swimlanes and multiple boards to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the reporting isn't as robust as other software. I found the robust design elements to be overwhelming. I've used Jira for years and tried to make the switch to Asana but we ended up regretting it and going back to Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for our day to day development task tracking. We run our sprints off the boards.
Project Managers Dream
What do you like best about the product?
This makes my job so much simpler. Having defined categories to place various articles we’re working on streamlines the process. And being able to assign various tasks on the same screen is a dream.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes wish I could play with layout features - but aside from that everything about the program is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It takes the guess work out of when someone’s completed a project and who is assigned to what. With the project board I have an easy map of everything that has been done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you’re in need of a system to help you organize, delegate, and implement efficient strategies - this is the one.
A great tool for the correct management of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can efficiently manage various projects, as well as being able to integrate a large number of people for the same project. This helps to improve the dynamism of the team and optimize delivery times. I also like that you have mobile applications for android and ios for the use of your platform. It also has many integrations such as google calendar. And the best thing is that its use is free. I also think it is important to define the high level of personalization that the tool possesses, it is great
What do you dislike about the product?
One disadvantage is that it is an exclusively online tool, in case of not being able to access the internet then you can not access this platform offline. I also do not like that it is not a totally intuitive tool, certain functions can be a bit complicated to use and you have to resort to looking for tutorials on the internet to use them correctly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company solutions the great majority of problems of management of projects, this allowed to optimize delivery times and better integration of equipment within the company itself. Because thanks to the fact that you can add collaborators to a project, then you can make this optimization of time easily and simply
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this software for companies that need to organize their projects since it really is something totally functional, it helps a lot in the organization and optimization of time and processes.
Take control of your projects
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is simple and friendly, gmail plugin is awesome, lots of features on free version, a lot more on premium one. I really like the project structure (teams/projects/tasks/subtasks)
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications could be better (we relay more on slack than email) Monsters are cool, but unicorns are a little too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, we now have all team efforts aligned towards one goal. We are tracking our strategic plan with this tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think your project structure thoroughly, you can get immersed in a sea of projects, teams and tasks.
Asana is a beautifully designed and easy-to-use project management system
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use...even people who have never used a project management tool take to Asana very easily. In fact, it's hard to get someone to leave Asana once they've truly used it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only the pricing...I'm a bootstrapper so while the free account takes care of 75% of what I need, a monthly subscription can sometimes be out of range for someone lean on funds. There are other tools that cost just a low annual fee that can take care of the same things that the free version does, but that do other important tasks for solo-entrepreneurs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When you have several projects going at the same time, and each project has many tasks dependent on team members, using Asana is a great way to track where the project is and who's doing what. I just couldn't do without a tool like Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it! If you've been having difficulty keeping track of all the work that needs to get done, if tasks have been falling through the cracks, or if you can't find that notebook that has the info on the task your client gave you last week, then you should jump right in and use Asana. I've even set up a task while on the phone with a client, taking notes directly into Asana. It's a great tool.
Love Asana but wish they'd fix one little thing
What do you like best about the product?
I really do enjoy Asana. It's got an interesting and intuitive UI, it's easy to use and makes sense. While originally used for managing tasks and 1:1's for professional development, we've come to use it as an entire project management software for full implementation projects. The ability to add users outside of my organization so I can send notifications is exactly what my team has been needing for years. While there was some learning curve for the whole team, I found things pretty intuitive and process of building out a project makes sense to me, and templating the projects makes our lives so much easier.
The only caveat I have is that clicking on a line item makes it immediately editable, and this is a huge pain.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really only have one major concern with Asana, and it's a funny one from a UI standpoint. Perhaps other people don't see it this way, but I do.
When I am viewing and managing my tasks in Asana, the one thing that drives me absolutely crazy is that as soon as I click on a line, it's immediately become text-editable. So, any time I just want to click on a line, it goes into this mode and I always end up accidently typing or erasing, or just needing to click out of that box. I love everything else about Asana except for this. It doesn't make sense to me, and probably will not. Perhaps I'm the 1% who hate this feature, but there's gotta be a better way - at least make edit ability a double-click option.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana for project management software. Where this was originally just a task management software for professional development, we've realized this can be used to manage full projects. The features we've found while really building out projects have become a massive help to our team and our clients are reaping the benefits. It's so easy to communicate tasks to clients with this tool, now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While this was originally just given to us as a simple task management software, once we opened it up and started building projects to manage in Asana we realized just how capable it actually is. Where we thought it didn't have a lot of use to us at first, it's now becoming a go-to tool for my team to operate efficiently.
Asana is a simple, user-friendly and inexpensive Project Management Tool

-Simple. The user can quickly learn how Asana works

- Inexpensive. There are even free versions!
- I have recommended this to many of my friends which startups-- one has implemented and loves it for her remote team!

What do you dislike about the product?
- The best features (like assigning sub tasks a sub task) have to be 'discovered' since they are not the most obvious
- The templates take a while to master

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Project Management-- Now the whole team can see what everyone is working on all the time.
- Aligning the team on the same calendar of events-- We created a master calendar for our company that everyone has access to. Asana even has a feature that allows us to sync Asana with our calendar which I LOVE!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look up tips and tricks! We had a PM whose role was to master Asana, but after she left, we all had to take on the task of learning it. There are hidden ways to master the program and it is worth the effort to have the whole team on board.
