Great idea but can be a little cluttered
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of using the web app and how organized everything is, and the functionality is just good overall. It's the most convenient thing for the whole team to use
What do you dislike about the product?
It can look cluttered sometimes - I prefer the interface of something like any.do, although that doesn't lend itself to be as effective as something like Asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking everyone's activities and priorities - we haven't used it for very long so I'm unsure as to the long-term/true benefits of it

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think an implementation consultant would be required to leverage the product properly
For financial pros, RECURRING tasks are a must!
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of project managers, task apps, etc. operate on a one-and-done project platform. As an accountant, I needed to be able to handle tasks and projects that I could program to recur on weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. Asana does that AND has a great mobile platform. Exactly what I needed!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I wish it could do is have a "start" or "available" date for a task. For example, May's sales tax return is due July 20th. I can make the due date the 20th, but I can't even begin working on it until the month of May is over. It would be nice if the task didn't even show up until its availability take to avoid distraction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana as my project and task manager for both professional AND personal items. I also use it as a lightweight CRM.
I love Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I love how organized it helps me to be, definitely part of the reason my company is so successful. I like that my team members can see each others tasks and potentially be there to help each other out. I also like once you complete something you can just click the checkmark and it's gone, and it lets you know if tasks are overdue.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't see the notes right when you login. I think it would be easier to get tasks done if you could see them right when you click on a task list. I may be looking over things but wish I could see as the administrator who's completing things and when they're being completed. That could mean in the tasks there is a tab where completed tasks are held and I can see these things, but that would be a nice new feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are very organized, and know what tasks need to be completed in what order, and how many nitty gritty tasks are left. We have a lot of clients that need a lot of things done, and I having it sorted it out into my tasks makes things super simple and quick, and I don't have time to waste so that makes my life a lot easier.
Perfect for "light" Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to pick up, my clients have adjusted fantastically, it integrates with Dropbox and has an easy drag and drop feature. You can do Kanban style boards or a more traditional list type.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't do gantt charts within asana although there is a free integration with another software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to share a project plan with a client, use it for notifications, tracking items.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need heavy duty project plans this may not be for you.
Asana- almost worth the hype.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Asana is that you can create as many tasks at a time as you would like, and it is easy to add users to each task. It creates an easy way to lay out what needs to be done and who needs to do it. Also, you can easily create so many sub sections that make the page not overwhelming. Some other platforms we used made it seem like there was too much going on but Asana puts it nice and neat so no one feels overwhelmed.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I began using Asana, it was difficult for me to understand where the task I was making went to. It almost seemed to disappear in space sometimes. I think that they need to make it clearer if you adding a task, a comment, a section, etc. I could never figure out how to make it the way I wanted. Also, if it would integrate with your iPhone Calendar or Google Calendar, that would be amazing. Tasks go undone if people don't have their hands on them enough and without integration they disappear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small business with no office, we are often expected to do multiple tasks at once. It is easy to forget something or miss a deadline when it isn't all written out. Asana is the central location of our planning brain. We are solving the problem of forgetting to write down a task or completing a project and not writing down the steps we took. The benefits we reap are great with this program. We love the feature that allows anyone to create a task and assign someone else to it. It's great if someone is hearing a project and needs to remind their teammates to pitch in.
Asana is great
