Great for Project Management and Basecamp
What do you like best about the product?
Storing all reports, discussions, assets, etc. in one place is a great way to not only keep everything organized and searchable, but also a great way to backup data. Use as a project management platform that sends notification alerts in a more user friendly manner is done so better than competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI was a big dislike, but it has come a long way since redesign. Also had issues with always having to sign in rather than it saving credentials or session. Could've been a security at organization or an Asana feature?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana as basecamp for marketing campaigns, projects, and analytics report archiving has eliminated the need for multiple platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to train employees before use in order to maximize Asana's capabilities but also to make sure it is used properly.
Best tool for tracking workflow and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Creating and using templates, using dependencies in workflows, all notifications, being able to add/remove people easily from conversations and projevts
What do you dislike about the product?
I do think that copying tasks is a little difficult (there should be an option to make multiple copies at once)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating multiple clients on a structured template (so everything is the same for every client). Using templates to start projects and when a new client begins.
Participation in projects with asana
What do you like best about the product?
In my personal opinion the tool Asana helped me to carry my projects in the most efficient way, this is the way in which the projects are structured in this application, you are shown every project step or stage as a sub task, which in turn has sub sub tasks, in this way to go doing each of the tasks almost without realizing you will see that you concluded that project that you thought would take too much time and would involve a lot of work, plus my bosses to be placed as followers of the tasks can be reviewing my progress, also I must also highlight the way in which asana is integrated to perfection with tools such as instagant which allows you to see the progress and status of your project in a graphic way
What do you dislike about the product?
When reviewing about tools as efficient, complete and powerful as it is Asana, it is very complicated to get negative aspects or disagreements, since this tool meets the expectations of any project team or any company, or at least that is my perception, Asana allows you to segment the different projects and follow up on all of them in a very simple way, I think that very few tools in the market have all the benefits or qualities that Asana has
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At corporate level we have used Asana in the past, and it has been very pleasing to us since among other things it has allowed us to: design the projects in a way that is easier to understand for those who will execute the different tasks, since sometimes it is difficult to understand project structures if you are not project manager or something like that, also allows project managers to follow each of the stages or phases of these, and also allows through its integration with instagant see graphically the status current in order to deliver reports or reports to the clients that requested this project
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is simple, use asana to manage your projects and you will see how it increases your efficiency to develop these
One of the best tools to see the performance of your work team.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Asana is that you can establish projects for each of your users and selecting check when you have completed the activity and as a percentage of your progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
do not like the update interface since I was used to the previous one, I do not like it when it is associated with the instagant tool, it shows a lot of slowness in the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company we implement many projects with different collaborators that are responsible for different specializations. With Asana the activities are assigned to each of the participants so that a better organization is carried out during the project
Adjustment period needed, well worth it
What do you like best about the product?
I love the organizational views and how user-friendly Asana is. It's easy to learn and really gets the job done.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time and persistence to really get team members on board. It is an adjustment to a digital to-do list and it's understandable but you really need a lot of buy-in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved our problem of dropping projects. Even if they aren't done first-thing this doesn't let things fall through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are new to a project management platform I highly recommend it. But be aware that it will take time for teams to adjust and commit to this method.
Easy collaboration in person and remotely
What do you like best about the product?
I love how tasks can be assigned to a specific individual with a due date, and that there are differentiated, dedicated spaces for details and notes in addition to to-do list action items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited privacy for users without premium. Also, that tasks disappear when they are completed - sometimes it's nice to keep a backlog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We frequently have research assistants coming in for regularly scheduled shifts, and instead of disrupting my workflow to ask for the day's tasks, they can manage their own productivity by seeing what's in store for for them for the entire week.
Asana has also become a communal note-taking space, so we use it as a living manual of how to function in our workspace answering questions like logins and password information, lists of who to contact for what, due dates for renewing certain licenses and certifications, etc. It really streamlines the transfer of knowledge between new and old staff members.

Best thing ... if you have the time.
What do you like best about the product?
You could literally run your life from Asana. Personal, work... anything. It has endless possibilities. It’s lists & capabilities are customizable and each item you add into your workflow has layers of options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I stopped using it because it was too much to keep up with. Too confusing how things connected together and how to manage it. I would add stuff to my list and not know where it was when I went to do it. I couldn’t figure out how my inbox worked or how to connect all the tasks into my inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was better organized, but I don’t think I saved time. Could’ve spent more time setting up a project in Asana than I could’ve actually doing it.
New to Asana
What do you like best about the product?
We just started using Asana and I think it will be helpful because you can see all the dates and when things are due. It is really helpful to make sure everyone is on the same page and things don’t fall through the crack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like it would take too long to put every task on the calendar that the helpfulness might not even pay off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to get a more realistic picture of everyone’s work. It is also helpful for planning purposes and to see how long projects take. Also like a giant virtual check list.
Asana is user friendly and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I love the collaborative aspect of Asana as a task manager. My team and I can collaborate on projects and see each other's progress. The deadlines and ability to assign tasks to my teammates keeps our projects on schedule and has definitely made our office more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I will loose track of tasks in Asana when I do not put a deadline on the task. This, could be avoided if I used the deadline function on all tasks but sometimes I do not need a deadline on a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana as a way to keep our projects on track and as a way to brainstorm new projects and keep track of ideas we come up with in our meetings. It gives us a collaborative space to brainstorm and optimize our tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would consider using Asana if you are interested in collaborating more effectively with your team and prioritizing tasks. The ease of use makes it a great option for all types of teams - and for personal use!
Easy, straightforward task management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy to set up tasks to share with a team, schedule on a calendar, and check off when complete. It's a simple tool with not a lot of bonus features, but it gets the job done for users who just need a nice overview of a list of tasks to be completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The list view is not for everyone, and it lacks a lot of the more robust features of other project management tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of my clients prefers this tool over others, so I use it with his team. It's allowed me to have a clear view of what everyone's part is within the organization, and when their tasks are due, so I can plan/schedule my own work around that.
