Asana keeps us organized!
What do you like best about the product?
My organization has been using Asana for a while now. I love the fact that I am able to log onto the dashboard and assign tasks to certain colleagues who are not a part of my sales department. This keeps us and our tasks organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
They don't have a desktop app. Everything always has to be done on a browser. I would like to be able to not have to be on the internet to assign a task to myself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform has great team capabilities . It is keeping my office sane and organized. Being able to assign tasks to specific team members is a great way to show who is responsible for what.

Great tool for teams to track their work
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome set of project management capabilities. Assigning tasks and track progress is very easy. User friendly. Clear interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to delete more than one task at once. Tasks have only due dates (no start dates).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management with distributed teams. Tracking tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very easy to use. Awesome features. It pays to try the free version.
Been using Asana for over 4 years, for a variety of purposes
What do you like best about the product?
The overall concept within Asana for tracking tasks within Projects is similar. Over the past year they have added new features for a Card Board versus a List Board, as well as other premium-only features, such as task dependencies.
During the past 4 years, I've used Asana for a variety of purposes, such as: software project management, kanban board, tracking interview candidates through the hiring process, tasks for new employee onboarding, managing tasks for planning an event, and tracking sales leads / customer relationship management. Although using the system for some of these purposes includes a little more manual effort than other systems, which might be specialized in these related area, the cost-savings of Asana out-weighs the cost of purchasing subscriptions for other systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
With one of the recent feature enhancements, why can't I toggle the same list of tasks between a list view and a card board view?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compared to the use-case list previously mentioned (software project management, kanban board, tracking interview candidates through the hiring process, tasks for new employee onboarding, managing tasks for planning an event, and tracking sales leads / customer relationship management), I'm currently using Asana primarily for tracking sales leads.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The system has an open, transparent philosophy - in other words, there isn't a strict permissions control system within projects.
Asana helps manage and simplify the work flow. Initiates more team work!
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's simple and modern layout, creating fluidity between tasks. It's easy to set up, get people on board with the system, and it's pretty straight forward. AND yet there are so many little shortcuts, that you can become an Asana wizard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I would say about Asana is that there should be a few more visuals. Sometimes the board can be boring to look at I get distracted with other sites when I should be staying on task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes it easy to clearly lay out who is completing what and it updates everyone when tasks are completed. It totally cuts out having to bug a co-worker to see if they've finished so you can start your work, and now, you just wait for the update. And you can even nudge them if they need to hurry up!
It cuts out a lot of unnecessary emails that can flood your inbox. I love being able to pick and choose who is attached to a project so that they all are on the same page.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time to learn the shortcuts in Asana and you will be able to flow through tasks on time and organized. You can learn how to input tasks on-the-go from your email, but the app is also a huge help for my team. We can be busy and still stay connected and on the same page with a project.
The best way to stay organized during project management
What do you like best about the product?
Assigning tasks to coworkers, checking off lists, organizing big events and breaking them down
What do you dislike about the product?
I face challenges when other people don't have Asana. During projects when I'm trying to assign tasks it can get challenging without every person checking their account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Completing events. If we have an event coming up or program - we will break it down task by task to organize roles and complete projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend this product. It works for event planning, project planning, small projects, big projects, etc. You can essentially use it for anything that requires tasks and other people or you can just use it to keep yourself in check. It is a great tool and I will continue to use it.
I. Love. Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
There is literally nothing not to like about Asana. It is the ultimate productivity program. I use it for my full-time job and for my own company's team, and it does wonders. We first started using it a few months back, and I haven't used anything else since. It is the essential to-do list program for all things professional. If you want to be organized, use Asana; you won't regret it! I love the versatility of the site when on the computer. You can format your to-do lists in chart or list forms, which is a huge plus! The customization of Asana is truly amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the formatting is a little bit tricky to get used to at first, but after you do, you'll be hooked. There are many options, which I don't see as a bad thing, but could get overwhelming or unnecessary for some people who like to keep things simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity and communication are two major things my team and I are solving with Asana. It streamlines our tasks and conversations relating to each one, and keeps things so organized, it's scary. We have realized how vital clear communication is through Asana, too. We love assigning tasks and sticking to the deadlines we are able to set though the site. It is truly a lifesaver!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take full advantage of every single feature Asana has to offer. Your productivity level will increase and you will be amazed as to how organized you will be with your team. Everything is so easy and fun to use - you feel so accomplished after checking off tasks on your to-do lists!
Great quick-simple-fast cloud solution to control all your projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a quick and simple solution to manage, control and maintain multiples projects with your colleagues and clients. And being cloud based (with mobile device support) makes it a all time ready to update option to keep your tasks sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way to add a task to a new section. It needs to create a space automatically to easily add all task in place. There's no budget tracking or gantt visualizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, to do lists, communication center.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great solution to keep your projects updated, but not for budget tracking.
Shareable Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to share project management and other tasks between teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Training needed to use resource effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management
The best free project management software there is!
What do you like best about the product?
Like the title says...The best free project management software there is!...Asana has so many features that you don't really need to upgrade to the premium version. At least if you're a small business! It's perfect for a start up who's trying to keep costs at a minimum and also for anyone who's never used a project management software before.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only other project management software that I've used before is Basecamp, and there was one thing about Basecamp that I liked better--it was how you could submit and edit copy in a nice way where you can see who's made what edits last...kinda like how Wordpress has the different versions made by which user/date/time etc--I haven't seen that in Asana...but that would be nice! Aside from this I love Asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to keep things categorized and organized with a small team by assigning tasks and due dates and notes that go with each thing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try this out first before you go and spend money on another project management software. Also, I think this might be better for people who are within the design industry for instance, Basecamp was better for a copywriter in my opinion.
great task and work flow managing system
