Odd way to keep track

The COO of my company forced this on us. It does not seem very coordinated. Doesnt allow for much flexibility. I dont like anything about it.

Unsure.
my experience with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
it was one of the premier project management tools I was introduced to and I found to be extremely user-friendly with its interface and it served the purpose of a small team
What do you dislike about the product?
there were only basic functions with adding in items and timeliness. The new software available offer an array of functions and services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
tracking a project's timeline
Recommendations to others considering the product:
assess the size of the team and the functions you need out of a project management software before making a decision
Asana, a simple and practical application.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very clean and designed exclusively to make the user experience pleasant and fast, the main panel is very clean and looks like a white leaf at first so as not to stress you with unnecessary instructions. To create tasks has greatly simplified the process as you just need to do a couple of clicks, this simplification is well focused as this tool is not to develop complex schemes but to organize projects. It is fabulous to be able to register the people you want and interact with them through the comments they make.
To add attachments you just have to drag and it is very good to immediately notify the project's security on the files that are uploaded, in addition to being able to assign tasks to multiple users. It is recommended to assign individual tasks because when you mark the check of completed task this disappears from the dashboard. To see this in the task view you can see all the activities and give it as unfinished and see everything that has been done.
Asana is a very interesting project center where you can track your tasks from any device with mobile applications where I only recommend to see the tasks because the desktop platform is the best. The addon version of google chrome is great to manage locally. The battery of notifications in Asana can sometimes be annoying but is understandable in a communication center and organization of teams but you can modify this to avoid the email reminder to avoid spam.
This manager is free or you can pay less than a dozen dollars a month but for large teams the price goes up, this can be saved due to the possibility of creating unlimited tasks and subtasks, Asana functions are very good for small projects or very fast tasks with few people because the platform has certain limitations as to the changes that can be made in a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is easy to understand but in order to understand it you must review it carefully so that you don't get confused with so many options and can find the best workflow. I have a negative criticism regarding the keyboard shortcuts, some of them do not work or are very uncomfortable to apply, I suggest to leave this to the consideration of the user. Another important thing is the fact that you can't change the type of project once started, for example if you start a list project you can't convert it to a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a widely used and known task management tool, it is a suitable tool with certain advantages that require experience in order to exploit them. It differs from similar managers by having the ability to communicate any changes made in the project through an internal channel and via email. You have no limits regarding the tasks you can perform and the appearance and usability are very simple, you just needed time to understand the potential they can give to your team.
You can think that all this can be done with another tool but Asana is designed to provide interactivity in sending documents for a project, this way we avoid the use of email and have an effective communication in real time.
Asana should only be used for free and with few users, if you are going to buy it I recommend that there are only 5 users because you pay 5 by 5. It's a page to see the progress of certain projects and go marking them as completed, beyond that does not offer something more relevant but is very easy to use with a fast interface.

This is not a tool that I would recommend.
What do you like best about the product?
I did not like care for any of Asana’s tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked everything from the onboarding to the communication factor between teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We weren’t able to solve any of our problems. We switched to different platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
N/A
Task Management app features are hit and miss. This one checks a lot of boxes
What do you like best about the product?
Asana flows and allows subtask creation in a way that my brain works well with. Many task management apps do not.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to assign a person to a task makes the quick task creation take a moment longer than I like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all the things that are a priority, but unable to be dealt with at this moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's almost a blend of OmniFocus and Wunderlist
Loving the updates
What do you like best about the product?
Asana didn't exactly have everything we needed when we started, but they've been continuously improving.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to decide how to set up your organization so that it runs most efficiently across all teams without bringing in an expert. More examples would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping more on top of tasks that used to fall through the cracks.
Easy to use, but not the greatest to navigate or organize
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple interface of Asana and how easy it is to create a new project. My team all has different ways they like to set things up and this makes it convenient for us to do it however we want.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to keep track of all projects from a timeline perspective because a calendar view isn't really available. It's also not the easiest to pass a project down the pipeline from step to step and assignee to new assignee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to track projects and requests that was not using a Google doc and this definitely improved that system a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend for personal goal and project tracking, but not necessarily for larger groups with multiple on-going projects.
Account Supervisor
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to keep track of my tasks and checking them off once complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the comment function - it is a bit too hard to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using asana as a project management tool and it allows people to see whats in the pipline, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
N/A
A good tool with its limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it promotes visibility and communication among teams. It is a great tool for collaboration because you can add team members as followers on tasks and stay updated on due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
It really bothers me that one of the most helpful features, commenting on tasks, is also a roadblock - when you comment on a task, if you check it off as completed, the comments disappear from the task even if it is a recurring task. This creates issues among team members because it doesn't carry over day to day. I would love for comments on recurring tasks to carry over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps everyone stay in the loop on what is going on across clients and stay on top of bandwidth issues as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good tool, although does come with its limitations.
Pretty dang good
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been helpful to use after transitioning from working exclusively in Google sheets and scattered project management from meeting to meeting. The follow up system and accountability for who needs to be doing what is huge.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my experience the hardest part about this has been onboarding coworkers who are not as tech savvy as the millennials in the office. Some of them just refuse to get the hang of it, which is frustrating!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, employee accountability, team collaboration
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Focus on onboarding and really explore the app with coworkers to decide on best layouts, features, etc
