Great Task Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visibility Asana give me into tasking and activities across team members. I get a lot of value out of the month at a glance view, which enables us to see parallel work-stream activities and make not of any dependencies.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I really dislike about the product. The user interface is fresh and clean, though it can sometimes seem a little too simplistic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our virtual, global team was having trouble managing tasks and coordinating activities. Asana helped us keep track of tasks across teams and gave leadership insight into the activities taking place. It helped us better plan for future activities, after we gained a better understanding of how long some tasks took.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create clear rules and expectations for using the product in your organization. One of the best decisions we made was stop listing tasks in emails and only use Asana for task tracking. Organizational adoption of the tool meant we needed to figure out what to do with Asana and what not to do with other tools we used. We started using email to collaborate with external parties and we used asana to track tasks internally in the organization. This really helped us stay more organized.
A robust project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides countless options for project management—with plenty of customization to ensure that every detail of a project can be managed, tracked, and accomplished.
What do you dislike about the product?
With such robust offerings, Asana is not the most simple to use. It takes some time to get a hang of it, and even then, it isn't overly simple or fun to use. It gets the job done with lots of features, but isn't overly engaging to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana made it easy to communicate with a large distributed team and keep everyone on the same page.
Asana, great when everyone is on board
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great functionality. It's awesome for managing a wide variety of projects across and between different teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with email and calendar on Outlook can be clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Asana to get a diverse team of people situated in different buildings on the same page. It allowed greater oversight and tracking of diverse projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to fully onboard everyone in your organization. This product works best when every user really understands it. It fell off for teams that weren't sufficiently trained.
Game changer
What do you like best about the product?
beautiful animations that take place when you finish a task gamify completion.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes the layers within layers within layers of tasks can be confusing. would be nice to see how many subtasks exist within a parent cell from the top level view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
organization and timeline.
Not too bad
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean. Color in the right places and seemingly organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The overflow of notifications required for the system to work is crazy. If there were more prominent notifications you wouldn't need to rely on the Inbox so much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am subcontracting with a client that uses Asana. I have realized that I just don't like it. I don't know that it's any one thing, just the little things that get to me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is getting better. I've tried it before when it was just awful but they are getting there. If it works for you, great. I just find myself needing more custom experiences so I go with Podio.
Streamline Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
At a marketing agency with around 70 people, Asana makes it much easier to assign, receive, and review tasks. It makes the hand-off between team members much more streamlined.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about Asana now that it integrates with Gmail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us keep track of tasks which ultimately makes us more efficient.
Easy Peasy and Pretty
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is usable for everyone - and I mean that quite literally - it allows users to view projects in their own preference (whether you need to see it as a list, agile board, calendar view, etc), making it the perfect option for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the free version allowed us to create more options in the templates. Some of the restrictions don't make sense, even in a free option!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to see all projects at a glance. The ability to have a master calendar. The ability to identify project tasks, due dates, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. It really allows for ease of use and visibility, essentially what the tool is needed for!
Great for cross-team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We use Asana for driving transparency across several teams, departments and even companies! It allows everyone to log in and see the same things, add comments and upload documentation, and is easily edited and managed. We love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
We still have to use other things like Jira tickets for internal requests or HubSpot for uploading recorded videos and as a general landing page for each of our clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for one place for all the documents and plans to live so that everyone on our team as well as each of our individual clients are all on track and bought into the same game plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great and easy to use product for even the most novice users! We like that it's easy to use, clean and quick. We still use other platforms for various reasons but Asana makes project management, transparency and collaboration so easy!
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Asana is that it is user friendly & works best for a small organisation to maintain communication between the project leads & other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you cannot create tickets within a project and assign that specific ticket to the related individual,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't really solve a problem with Asana. Asana helps us keep track of a on-going project, the status of the project, timeline definition by the individuals involved
Asana: great tool for collaboration and task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to keep track of projects and tasks using Asana. This is possible because of the simple, intuitive and well thought out interface.
Another thing I is the great integration with other tools I use, such and Instagantt, Bitbucket and Slack.
I also like the mobile apps, especially the iOS app. They're well built and make tracking my tasks easy.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is the lack of an inbuilt messaging feature, though that can easily be taken care of by integrating Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to more effectively manage projects and tasks. With Asana, we are able to see all ongoing projects and tasks and get them done in a timely and orderly manner.
Asana also helps make collaboration more effective, especially as it's integrated with Slack.
