What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the interface of the app itself; it's not as intuitive as it could be
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is charged with organizing a website redesign project and we've used Asana to organize our thoughts and action items, while storing and sharing files as well as meeting agendas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend exploring the app before you switch all your communications and organization over to it. Make sure that it has all the capabilities you will need; Asana seems to be a lighter app in my opinion, offering the minimum of task lists, shared files, and group conversations. I don't know that it allows much more than that, and many of those things are offered in a number of other apps anyway

As our team moves into a mix of remote and in-office work, Asana makes is easier to keep track of all our projects and everyone's unique role in them. It is also a great way to keep people in the loop without having a ton of meetings and eating up valuable work time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product of anyone looking to streamline their project management and keep their team in the loop and on-task without wasting time with a ton of meetings. You can plot out entire long-term projects from start to finish and assign different members to different tasks, which makes it a great way to see the whole picture of a project while also making sure that every detail is accounted for.
Love the product!
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly. I worked for a while as a VA (Virtual Assistant) so it was a great tool to work with. I was able to keep track of my hours i worked for each project and I was able to invoice my clients with ease. That was the part that was making me more nervous but Asana took care of that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can recall really. The pricing was a little expensive for me, since I just started working and trying to enter a new arena.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was easier to log the hours I worked and then invoice the client. It is a great tool for start-ups and even bigger
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I absolutely recommend it, especially if you are working remote or you are your own boss. The support is excellent, so take advantage of that.
Asana is great for keeping track of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to assign tasks to my co-workers and also keep track of my own tasks. It's easy to see where others are on a project. You get a sense of accomplishment when checking off tasks and you can reference completed tasks at a later time. It's easy to get notified when projects are assigned to you..
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a lot of projects going at one time, it can get overwhelming at times. It also can only be used efficiently if everyone uses the software to the best of their ability. If only one person is using it, it isn't as awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of team goals and group projects.
Convenient way to coordinate projects

Asana has several interesting capabilities--I particularly like the Team Calendar and Conversations option.
