Very useful collaborative tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a useful tool to track your own projects and quickly assign and track tasks for others.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit weird to have two "to-do" lists - your email and asana, but once it becomes part of your workflow it's simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really simple to delegate and understand reliant pieces of a project when using asana, which streamlines our workflows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must be used by a whole team, or it won't function as a useful part of your workflow.

Can't go wrong
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create project specific teams. This allows us to assign employees, designers, and even clients to a specific project and not have them in others to keep things completely organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing we didn't really like about their current setup is that we have to remember to add individuals to each task for them to receive updates. The way we use Asana if you're in the project you need to be updated for each task. This is more of a usability thing on our end, rather than a dislike on Asana though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We finally found the project management software for our team. The template feature has been a huge plus for our design agency since all of our designs utilize the same process, so we can pre-build templates and just load the template for each new project we receive. This ensures that we don't miss a step when setting up a new project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a careful look at your team size. They bill per user on the same domain name as your account. So each @yourdomain.com email address is considered a "user" in their system. You can, however, have unlimited guests, which are users not on your @yourdomain.com emails.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it easy to see all your projects in one place, and keep track of who should be working on what. You know that once you've placed your request or information in Asana, there is record of what you've asked for and when you asked for it. In the past when I've send in a project, it just kind of went out there and everything wasn't easy access. That has been a huge plus since switching to Asana, especially since I like to have everything laid out and clear when working on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, it seems as though Asana is not checked as often as email, which can lead to frustration when a project is due, especially when you have to check in outside of Asana to make sure the people you're working with have actually when checking it. However, this is a problem with office practices, not with Asana itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana primarily for Marketing and Communications needs, which is very helpful when we have multiple projects active at the same time. Emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, whereas Asana keeps everything organized and easily accessible via the dashboard.
Very nice and intuitive platform to do agile tasking
What do you like best about the product?
The setup of projects, contributors and tasks is trivial. The UI is also clear and I have had no problems getting to what I wanted out of this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some reason, setting up my profile picture became disabled. That might be due to a fact of using a free version... not sure but I was able to do it initially and then my picture disappeared.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasking and project progress tracking.
This web app has drastically improve would function as a development team.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup new tasks, assign tasks to others, create and manage teams. Decent reporting although we haven't used that much. Very robust create of custom projects and custom fields in the task setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't easy to set a task for a specific time and if you do there are no notifications. However I guess that's not really what this app is targeted for. If you need that use Apple reminders app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing and keeping track of development and business tasks across a development team of 4 users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Other solutions we had tried were more individual and team focused leaving many tasks getting lost in the shuffle with everyone kind of doing their own thing. Asana helps keep your team organized and productively on task.
Task Management at Its Best
What do you like best about the product?
This program is great for working with a lot of team members and keeping everyone on task and easily finding status of projects. Its great to get a big overview as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like the ability to use a mobile app but it is not as user-friendly as the mobile site. That could use some improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at a furniture dealership and we work on big projects on a constant basis, we need to keep all team members focused o their tasks and due dates.
Keep your task list online!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like having a task list on the Internet. Being able to set goals and having reminders is also really great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's nice to be able to physically check a box, but it's not a huge deal. I occasionally forget to open up my task list and feel lost for a bit until I remembered to bring up Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a great way to keep track of tasks and projects along with due dates and progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! You have nothing to lose.
Best Platform for Startups
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to collaborate with the rest of my dev team. We were able to categorize what was being launched, the status of the code and what the importance was. We were also able to assign the task to a set developer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the "following" feature. I wanted there to be a way to assign more than one person to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using Asana for testing our dev products before launching them live. This tool gave us the an easier way to stay on track and see what was going to be launched within that sprint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a scrum master or a dedicated person to input Asana task and manage them
Easy to Use, Helpful for Team Collaborating
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's super easy to create your own boards however you want, label them appropriately, and they can become templates for projects beyond what I'm currently doing. YouTube has a ton of tutorials to use it in different ways and I think it's very easy to introduce into my routine.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike - if anything, there's almost so much openness that it could use a bit more structure. But once I create the structure myself, it works nicely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between myself and team members - we don't have the same office space.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend checking out the YouTube videos of how to create templates and such in Asana. It made it exciting - the work to set it up is a little heavy, but once you get it, it's good.
Asana is a must for all Virtual Assistants
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps Virtual Assistants by creating due dates for large projects. Many times I receive several projects at once and it is great that Asana can help me by prioritizing. It also helps everyone stay connected!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike nothing nothing about Asana....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prioritizing projects by due dates
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try Asana it's free to use and can organize your communications and projects
