Checklists and more
What do you like best about the product?
I love the look and feel of the checklists.
What do you dislike about the product?
Seems to get cluttered up easily with a ton of projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to show progress and stay on task with different processes we use in marketing. Asana has made me more productive because I can make sure nothing falls through the cracks thanks to their checklists of tasks and subtasks.
One of the best task management softwares out there
What do you like best about the product?
I like how there are multiple ways to view your tasks. You can view it as a normal calendar, you have the option to organize tasks by tagging them and search by tag, or you have the option to view a full list of all the tasks that are assigned to you. It's an all-around excellent way to make sure you A) don't forget about tasks in the depths of email, gchat, or slack or B) have a visual view of all the tasks you need to complete. I also like how you can create different projects for each client and even further organize tasks by category within each project. It also integrates fully with our time management software.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike. I've used it for two years now and I live and die by it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our project management abilities as a company has increased as a result of using Asana. Because very few deliverables slip through the cracks, we are able to prioritize better and look more professional in front of clients.
Great platform for team communication and project management
What do you like best about the product?
For large projects, it is excellent to be able to assign tasks to individuals on the team, set due date, etc to ensure that your project will get done. It makes project management and delegation so much easier! It's also great to be able to check in on how a project is coming along and if you might need to change your deliverable dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The text editing/writing experience is atrocious.
Writing task descriptions or comments is pretty horrible. It is a blank text box that DOES allow formatting, bulleting, etc, but there is no WYSIWYG editor interface or way to change formatting or remove formatting when you do a copy/paste. Additionally, don't use CTRL-Z or Command-Z to undo something! It will completely erase everything you wrote into the text box and it is next to impossible to get it back. I also find that Asana tends to crash, refresh or have an issue when I am writing something lengthy, so myself and the rest of our team has resorted to writing out lengthy task and project details into a google doc first, and then we will paste it into Asana (helps with the formatting issue too).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great online project management that allows members not geographically collocates to work together seamlessly.
Geographically dispersed team is more efficient than ever!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use. Asana is great for teams with people at all levels of technology aptitude and this made things very easy to adopt.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an integration with Google Calendar and I wish there was a way to define roles so that a VP or Manager who doesn't use Asana as much can log in and see what's on everyone's working on and status of things. Like a dashboard.. other than that I can't think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a high paced marketing department with very tight deadlines and Asana helps everyone stay on track. It also helps us run SCRUM meetings with one place to see everything.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use a limited amount of projects rather than "everything is a project". It can get out of control.
easy project tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work/Proj/Task management workflow.
Just started scratching the surface of its usefulness & have moved all my projects to Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers a great way to organize yourself and to communicate with team members. I used to organize my planned projects in MS OneNote. I now keep my notes and process documentation to MS Office products but have moved my projects (both those for work and personal) entirely to Asana.
The user interface is visually pleasing and easy to navigate. The hierarchy is intuitive with a Team | Project | Tasks | Sub-tasks breakdown. You can move tasks between projects and/or assign them to team members. There are labels (“tags”) for an additional level of organization. You can store attachments. There are filters for viewing tasks.
Dashboards for a high-level view of project statuses are a standard in SaaS products and Asana includes them also. You can open a report in Google Sheets with the product and use it to create a custom report or visualization.
The mobile app is impressive. It seems to have full-functionality but I have not tested it extensively yet.

I cannot think of any. The system was recommended to me by both a product manager and a brilliant engineer. They were right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of moving pieces to keep track of and this is proving the perfect system to do so.
