Sometimes the appearance can be overwhelming at times. We are still better learning how to organizing

Organizing for upcoming programs and events.
Proving tasks within larger tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can archive everything fairly easily and can tag people. Within each project you can provide sub tasks which is helpful and the settings will send you a nudge to remind you you have something due soon
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that within a larger task, the smaller tasks could be assigned to individual people instead of all people assigned on the larger task. Also seeing it in calendar view would help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are lots of people doing overlapping tasks so this helps or project manager know where everyone’s Tim is being spent
The best designed task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to learn, attractive and simple interfaces, easy to make it your daily home base. Great for both new and experienced computer users. I love that you can have task/project-related convos and attachments. This is excellent if you are like me and frequently need to show people where they made decisions in the past in an easy way. I love that events can be recurring on almost every pattern I've ever thought of. I use it for grants tracking, so I can assign out pieces to different team members and easily gather pieces back to me. I love that I can hyperlink to previous years notes, attachments, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I least like about Asana is that you cannot learn all of its functionality just in a single day. I hope they send an email with each subject or functionality with a video link so that it will be easy for someone to learn all of the things you need to learn to enjoy Asana services in a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I also use it to plan editorial pieces, social media, communications campaigns, nonprofit programs, board meetings, household tasks and chores, etc. Previosuly I used it for large books/projects to break large academic projects into smaller pieces. I've used it with large and small groups aged 18-67. I've set it up for over 10 orgs/groups and it is fast and easy. Everyone loves how easy it is to just start using it. Great email functionality and it has a ton of add-ins you can use to link to other software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For new users, I would definitely suggest diving in and checking out all the features Asana offers. A great way to start is by watching the tutorial videos they have in the help menu in the top right corner of the site. Once you're comfortable with the app, I would look into the power features they have. Getting to know these will increase your productivity and efficiency in using the app. I would also say to get your team on board.
Asana is an efficient management system if fully implemented
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share across all departments and create sub tasks within each project.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of hidden features that take a while to uncover. To be used efficiently it takes time to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. We saw a huge up tick in team members being on the same page
Great tool for efficiency in a team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for project management when there are several team members. I love organization tools like this in my day-to-day, but Asana's strength is allowing you to make separate projects with varying team members, to assign members tasks, add attachments, comments, etc. making things way easier than back-and-forth emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I dislike about Asana. I think the "assign" mode might be able to be better named. This is so minor, but I had to "assign" or re-assign tasks to my boss when I used it in a previous position and that felt awkward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Efficiency; staying on top of to-do lists with various projects with differing goals.
Simple Accountability
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can add people to follow tasks and you can also just check out what everyone else is doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you can't set up recurring tasks. If you do something every day but like checking off a list, you just have to leave the task in your asana forever. I wish I could check off the box each day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accountability with a mostly remote team. The benefit is people really do seem to do more work when they actually have to "turn it in".
Decent Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Visually, it is very calming. Some people around the office pronounce is like ass-ana, which is also nice. Integration with Slack has also been helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tasks seem to get lost easily. A better way to bucket tasks together would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing tasks. For a long time, tasks weren't all located in a central place. Then we started using Asana and we ended up preventing a lot of overlap and lost assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into other alternatives. Hive and Trello have been great for what my current company does. Asana worked well for the smaller firm I used to work for though.
Easy to use task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like lists. I make lists for everything. Asana has helped me make lists that are actually useful. I can schedule monthly recurring activities and get notified when they are coming up. I can make check lists for the day or set reminders for important events. It's a great organizational tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for organizing project tasks and assign them to different people, put deadlines on them and so on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free to try to give it a go.
