Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can see the tasks that you are being assigned and mark them as they are completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think Asana is a productive tool. My Director has to inform me through messenger of my tasks and I will finish them I hardly see anything in Asana. It isn't user friendly sometimes if fields are not correct on who can view them you won't be able to see things assigned to you. If anything Asana is a waste of time that needs to have some sort of integration and easier organizational tools for tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing really.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it can be used as a simple reminder of the tasks that you need to discuss with your team. But if you aren't careful on how or who can view it things can be assigned to the wrong team or may not show up in the correct tabs.
Great Software For A Worldwide Team
What do you like best about the product?
Everyone can see what needs to be done and is able to connect in order to be accountability partners when it comes to meeting deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functions are implied, not exactly detailed. With some trial and error, you can figure things out, but it just takes a bit of time to get the feel for the little things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to connect with a team literally scattered around the globe, enabling me to pool my talent without having to relocate my entire life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're talking yourself into limiting your dream because you can't find the right people near you, this lifts that worry. Asana makes it feel like the team is right there with you, even though they are on the other side of the globe. It's great for accountability as everyone can see calendars and tasks and connect quickly to keep the team on track.
Asana is a waste
What do you like best about the product?
I don't really like anything about asana. I suppose it has a simple Intuitive interface but i juat dont really get the concept. Maybe I'm just really organized, more so than other people, but I just don't get why a company would pay for something like this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly the concept of the software. It's just unnecessary to me maybe it makes more sense in other areas of the business but on the sales side I hate it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They use it to track progress or assign items to people that need to be completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do you really need this?
Looks great, keeps me organized. Wish the free version wasn't so limited
What do you like best about the product?
The UI. The product is enjoyable to use because it is designed so nicely. Compared to other task management softwares I've used, I would say it looks and feels the nicest.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently use the free version and am really missing some features (like GANT charts/dependencies). Many features are limited with the free version (like the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management - helps keep me organized and on task throughout the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you hate working in Windows 98 - style task managers, you'll love Asana!

Asana Makes Team Collaboration & Organization Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Asana enables you to keep track of multiple projects across multiple departments, all in one place. It keeps us organized and makes it easy to search for various projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all of the different folders and projects going on, some things can seem to get lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we are able to delegate client projects and get them done within sometimes strict timelines. We have been able to keep up with dozens of projects at a time, without anything ever "slipping through the cracks" because Asana provides reminders of upcoming deadlines.
Great collaboration tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to collaborate amongst team members and keep track of my To-Dos in the same platform!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing, and it could be user error, is that you can't change the format of tasks. You can choose a list or cards, but can't toggle between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization amongst multiple team members. I like that we can send each other messages just by updating the task and tagging each other. Also, my manager can follow along reducing the number of update emails I have to send.
Asana User
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Asana is the ability to comment on each task. Anyone who is working on a project can make notes within the tool, keeping communication for a project in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first figuring out how to navigate Asana was a little difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Asana has solved for the organization I work for is meeting deadlines. Being able to have everyone see who is assigned to a project holds the individual accountable and keeps the ball rolling.
Great ease of use!
What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and is really robust in features. Moreover, it doesn't force you to upgrade to use a number of its features and that's useful for me because I don't feel like I'm being cornered, especially for a small business owner like myself who is trying to keep costs low.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard view could be improved. I don't really care for how the dashboard looks at the moment. I'd rather see the tasks that are on hand or new notifications for chat. I'd rather the Dashboard function like the Inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding an easy and affordable collaboration tool with chat and tasks has been hard and so finding Asana was great. Considering we are now working with a bigger team, it's very useful to have!
