Great and flexible project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Clear UI, easy to collaborate. We can use Asana for a variety of tasks and then template those tasks to save time in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to organize projects in the sidebar when there are many of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We publish a large number of open access journals and need to coordinate this work across a growing team. Asana lets us both track and assign work much more flexibly with less hierarchy.

Great Organization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to track many different lists and be able to comment with fellow team members.

If you do have a lot of lists, it can be difficult to keep track of all your tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped better organize what needs to be done on all of our various projects. Instead of relying on email, Asana allows us to keep everything that needs done in front of the entire team.
Easy-to-use project management tool for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
It's very intuitive and easy on the eyes, as well as easy to understand.

The PMI options (dependencies, deviations, recalculations) are all paid features, which is why you should use it as a communications tool for projects, unless you're paying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling multichannel projects with several users, and having all the solutions on a cloud-based solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that all product management operations are paid features.
Asana is effective for collaboration and follow up
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to create action items and keep track of what tasks have yet to be address. I also like that you can copy boards so that you don't have to create everything from scratch! I also like the simple and clean design.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I dislike! I think it's easy to use! Maybe offer different colors for profiles with no pictures so we can easily distinguish instead of relying on initials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this to keep track of our biweekly retros and track things that worked and things that didnt as well as to hold ourselves accountable when we don't follow up on action items. It's also beneficial because we can assign tasks to team members and it clearly points out who is who.
Simple setup and simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
It offers a wide range of features for those who want to keep it simple and for those who want to get a little more into the weeds.

Great way to manage products
What do you like best about the product?
Asana really helps your team organize all of the projects that you are working on and provide deadlines and status updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of emails that get sent for every little update can get over whelming. They need to let you limit. Currently it's all or none
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides organization, project management and project tracking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a really good basic project manager software. Definitely allows you to organzie all aspects of the projects that you are working on, deal out responsibilities, and create the deadlines necessary to get the project done. Only down side as I mentioned before is the project update emails. You can get 2 or 3 per project when responsibility is changed or if dates get changed.

Good app for project management
What do you like best about the product?
Good for project management but not as seamless and funny to use as a MeisterTask or with as many powerups as Trello. Asana is generally used by a lot of my suppliers and that is why I use it. It has grown in terms of user functionalities and design and it is now much better. You can create projects, tasks, tasks groups, etc. You can do all kind of things inside the tasks such as attach documents, comment, set dates, responsible persons, tags, etc. The iOS app is a great app and you can do everything on the app that you can on the web. You also have a great calender view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks the kanban board and the sexy and fun CX. Lacks also the Gantt chart view. It is not so fun to use as Meistertask and Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To manage all kind of Projects with partners and clients. Generraly I'm invited to use the app by a supplier or client and I manage the entire project through the app. So that way you don't have to send e-mails or messages or call, you do everything on the app and that way it is easy to see the project satus and the tasks status. Also every comment and document of the project is easely find within the app on a search functionality. You can invite others to joint the project, give them tasks, etc. Is a great way to do it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should give it a try. also consider MeisterTask and Trello
