Seamless, intuitive project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an incredibly intuitive and really easy to use project management platform/software that integrates easily into things like Gmail and even Slack. You can easily sort/organize tasks, and you get your weekly to-do list. It's not cluttered, and it has a lot of features that are helping in managing projects, such as marking some tasks as dependent on others, setting up recurring deadlines, and getting a high-level overview of projects that your team is working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some improvements that could be made in terms of organization and better sorting your own tasks. In addition, sometimes it can be overwhelming (and counterproductive) to see ALL your tasks laid out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helpful to track progress on team-oriented projects and being able to make comments directly on tasks/projects so that all discussion is accounted for. It also helps in thinking out all the steps/necessary components of planning a larger campaign, and planning backwards as well for timing to make sure that everything is completed on time. There is a lot less back and forth between team members because everything is laid out in Asana.
Its ok. I wish the input could be simplified
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to transfer tasks to others and I appreciate the email reminders
What do you dislike about the product?
the left sidebar navigation is a bit wonky and hard to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What I had hope to use it for was for replicating tasks in future years and I never really got to use that feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an easy to use and cheap/free project planning tool. It would be great if it supported GAANT charts
Great platform planning and staying organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy working with this product because the platform is easy to work with and easy to teach your team how to use. Most platforms similar to Asana get unorganized quickly when multiple team members start uploading tasks and projects, but Asana gives you multiple options to keep things organized and keep your team working in sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
The emailing of each individual task can be overwhelming, especially when starting a new project. I really wish there was a way to put multiple tasks into the system and have the option to email them to the responsible person with one or multiple tasks listed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using the platform to put together and organize advertising campaigns and strategies for clients. It's been great to work with in this way because it allows team members to see what others are doing or planning to do and have them plug in their thoughts on the fly. Without this option, we'd be wasting time on multiple conference calls per day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely would recommend this product to anyone working in a team environment. If you're considering Asana, you should take advantage of the free trial to really see how this platform works.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is my go-to application for Project Management. I have many clients and I am able to functionally organize them and schedule our tasks. I am able to bring each organization into my Asana separately so that my clients can use the application as well.
Asana is easy enough to use. Many of my clients are not tech savvy yet, feel comfortable using the app. There is also a great integration with Gmail as well as a Chrome extension.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. The integration with Gmail takes some getting used to. It can be clunky and if you forget a step, it will not save to the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and Task organization. Nothing slips through the cracks as long as each item is scheduled and assigned correctly.
Communications with clients remain in each task so things don't get lost in email strings.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the tutorials, especially when migrating from another project management tool.
Makes life easier
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is much more comprehensive and easier to navigate than the other solutions my company has tried. The calendar view makes it very simple to keep track of my tasks and when I need to be working on them. And the addition of private tasks that my coworkers can't see means I can also keep track of professional development and other obligations so they all appear on the same calendar.
What do you dislike about the product?
It logs you out a little more frequently than I'd like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows our Marketing, CX, and Development teams to collaborate on projects and for everyone to be able to see what work is being done. We've reduced overlapping work and improved productivity with Asana.
Incredible project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to collaborate with stakeholders from within the projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more ability to fin tune user permissions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability for non-employees to have visibility into our projects is invaluable
Collaborate and Manage Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability that Asana offers to facilitate collaboration with my coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software has a steep learning curve and could be streamlined a bit more to make the user experience more productive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing staff output while tracking projects. Asana offers the benefit of allowing our business to track a project from the initial development stage to culmination and helps us see what is needed at every stage of the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool to manage a project and delegate tasks for the entire staff. It is a great way to measure productivity and progress.
Asana is easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is fine. It's got a pretty good setup for managing different groups and sharing information in a clear and functional way. It's also easy to chat with others and share info with whoever needs it in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think most of what I disliked was how incompetent my companies use of it seemed. We had a lot of repeat groups trying to accomplish the same thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It had useful timeline coordination aspects. It helped keep a lot of people on task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is only as useful as your companies workers - they have to actually do their part. However, the breakdowns on Asana are clear and it's easy to see whether progress is being made on tasks.
Chief of Staff
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to use XFN with my entire team, with visibility across the entire organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to be able to assign a single task to multiple projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. Roadmapping. Tracking client deliverable cycles. Benefits = maintaining a global view of all workstreams at both a high level, and micro level, all in one place.
Helpful tool for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
Keeps task in front of everyone and helps track progress. We use it to help 100+ employees collaborate on a huge conference. Too many tasks to keep up with, but with Asana it was all managed and helped us pull off a great event.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a job to get familiar using it. Takes too much work on front end and can be tedious. All the new users have trouble getting used to it. It seems like it takes more work to mark a task completed than it does to actually complete the task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration from distance. I have no idea how we would track progress and help everyone stay focused on various tasks required for our conference.
