Asana is great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to outline a project and assign it to team members with a deadline, description and instructions attached. It is extremely helpful as I think through a project and to help delegate sections. I can stay up to date with where each team member is at on their section of the project. Asana can simultaneously help organize and motivate a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't stay on top of Asana or not all team members are on board with it, it can become overwhelming very quickly as tasks appear to not have been done or a project seems to be lagging even if it's moved forward. I recommend ensuring each team member is on board with Asana before implementing it for a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps keep me organized and assists with delegation when I know I will be out of the office or won't be able to meet with my team for a number of days. A project and communication can continue moving forward via Asana without having a long thread of emails or constantly needing to check in to see where things are at.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Meet with your team to discuss how you will use Asana before implementation.

Great starter solution for a free agile project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's great for creating a board for an individual project, and assigning a series of sub tasks (with their own assignee's, due dates, and attachments) within that project.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you take the time to learn the features and options of this project management software, there's nothing I've needed and not been able to do. My only gripe is that it's completely web based (i.e. no desktop app) so if you're trying to administrate projects on the move, the connection issue can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has given our teams (particularly dev and content teams) much more structure. The production efficiencies of which, are especially noticeable during peak times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure everyone using this software is on the same page when it comes to setting up projects and creating new tasks. I'd also say that it's essential for all users to take responsibility for their own tasks and deadlines.
Simple yet usefull task manager
What do you like best about the product?
Free and simple management. Tag and color system is fun, easy to locate.
It has some event system, chat and file manager. For free you get all you need for starting new projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit too simple in some cases. It lacks a graphical representation or priority selector.
Maybe a pro version has it but filtering by tags and special tags would be great.

Asana fills a roll, but isn't the perfect solution
What do you like best about the product?
We used Asana for our team to manage projects. It was the perfect fit at first when we were a small team, and we enjoyed the threaded projects and ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
As our team grew, we ran into limitations. The biggest annoyance was no native time tracking feature, which seemed to me to be a negative oversite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved the business problem of keeping tasks organized for our team and clients.
Asana is great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can break down tasks into projects and share them with the team. I've appreciated how intuitive it is to use for new users. It's been easy to add new team members and start working right away with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I can't delete old conversations, especially for projects. Creating sections is a little difficult because you have to do it with a colon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides my team a place to keep all of our tasks organized. It's been beneficial to use for to-do lists as well as to forecast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth a try over other project management software programs!
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of creating tasks and seeing them on a calendar
What do you dislike about the product?
Subtasks don't show up in calendar, dependent tasks don't shift
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management with a large team; easy to assign tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
good for a simple to-do list, but not great with a lot of dependencies
Great PM software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is Free to get started for upto 15 team members. It's great for a startup environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be a fully functional PM software, you probably want to use dependencies. Unfortunately this feature is only available in Premium version.
Also wish there was a tighter integration with Slack, so that there is only a single conversation tool in play. Currently you end up making comments on Asana, which leads to duplicate threads..

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At some point in a every project, things become complicated, even if its just a team of 4.
Assigning tasks to people, and basic team hierarchy become necessary.
Asana is the product to use at this point.

Super simple, but fully featured task management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simple, straightforward ways my to-dos are displayed. It's a list... plain and simple. And the different list views make it easy to organize the lists by priority, due date, project, etc. I also love all of the keyboard shortcuts. I can edit and organize without touching my mouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
The multiple different views can be a little confusing at first. It would be nice if there was more on-screen guidance for beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing multiple projects each with multiple tasks, and some of those tasks have multiple steps. I'm able to feel confident I haven't let anything slip through the cracks. Unlike other services I've tried, using Asana doesn't ADD to the time it takes to stay organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of forwarding emails to Asana to create new tasks. You can create a separate email address for each project that automatically creates a new task from the email. This feature makes getting to Inbox Zero easy.
Use the keyboard shortcuts. Assigning due dates, sorting into projects, marking tasks complete, etc. can all be done without ever touching your mouse.

Easy To Learn and Use
What do you like best about the product?
The reminder emails when projects are due. It makes it simple and clear to see the tasks completed and tasks remaining, and eliminates the need to have to email team members to question where they are at in a project or task. It's an easy program to use with lots of tools to make planning efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had only a positive experience with Asana, and have not had to contact customer services for any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although this software was used with a very small management team, I liked that I could easily see when a new task was added or when my supervisor (or myself) marked a task as "completed" so we could not only see what was left to do but see how much we've done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software was great for our small business and management team. It is pretty intuitive and I was able to use it without any issues and difficulty. Color coded tasks makes it simple to see when a task is "new" or "done". You can also see who added the task or marked the task as done, which would be useful for larger teams. I found this very useful when there was a single project being worked on by multiple people. The app makes it very easy to set tasks and projects quickly (think during or after a work meeting)
Great place for keeping up on to do lists for you and your company
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to keep track of my own private to do lists/sub check lists. To be able to assign tasks to others and to the group at large and keeping track of what still needs to be done
What do you dislike about the product?
When there are large numbers of tasks, items get lost in the shuffle because they will get buried in whats done versus what's left to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large tasks are broken down into tasks and subtasks so that they are easily done. All employees have access to the lists so tasks can be done when a remote worker is finished with all assigned tasks so that more the company moves forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great piece of software for a company that is all remote and need to keep track of what needs to be done and what has been done.
