A great tool for those that like to work from lists

What do you like best about the product?
List items can have their own sublists that are easy to see, a history keeps track of how many tasks have been completed on a graph, can create new tasks via email, and can duplicate tasks or create follow-up tasks. Can create sections so tasks with deadlines can appear in own section near top whereas "Someday" tasks could go into their own section closer to the bottom. I used Asana with a team to start but then continued to use it for my own personal todo list for many years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot easily view nested lists within nested lists (so can only see so much at a time... no way to really expand or collapse to choose exactly how much level of detail you want to see all in one place). And there's not a ton of freedom, versus something like OneNote where you could design a page for all your weekly tasks and then use it as a template from week to week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great way to stay organized and stay on top of tasks.

Program to improve the organization in your company

What do you like best about the product?
I really like this system because it offers me excellent functions that allow me to solve my basic needs in my business. To have a system like Asana has been vital for me because it allows me to evaluate and control all the management of the different projects that I have in progress. It also allows me to assign tasks to my work team by placing the respective delivery dates of each task.

This system allows you to know all its functions using your trial period, and take each of the projects with their respective teams.

It is great to be able to use this system because as it is based on the cloud, I can know how the management is being carried out in real time from wherever I am through your mobile application.

With this type of systems you can customize all forms and each of the functions, thus achieving that Asana adapts to the style of my company and its work rate.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I have no complaints about this system. However, report to the technical assistance team certain anomalies that arise from Asana from time to time. Also ask them to adapt some functions necessary for the proper performance of my company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to this system allows me to manage not only the projects undertaken by my business, but also I can create and assign the members in each project, thanks to this I can save time and let my team be effective in the development of each one. the projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a versatile program to manage all your projects in an integral way. Asana is what your company will need, since you can work without being in your office. In case you have doubts about it, this software offers you its test time so you can go in order to get to know it more thoroughly.

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the best tool for keeping organized. It's even better when you use it as a team. Cut down on emails and have all your information and tasks in one place!
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful part of Asana is the automatic emails when items get completed or changed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a telecommuter, it has saved my sanity and my team uses it to stay organized.

I don’t know how I’ve lived without it

  • May 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can create different boards and lists, integrate everything on each one and organize them... but the cherry on the cake it the subtasks and repeat options!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like how when you repeat a main task that the subtasks repeat with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized and on time with projects and due dates

Much better services out there

  • May 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, ability to build projects, tasks, and subtasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is very nimble software and easy to use but there is no accountability for tasks. Anyone can change due dates, whom the task is assigned to, or delete the task all together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look for software where not just any user can edit tasks.

I dont like anything about it. Cant use easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unsure.

Great for those who love checking off items on their list

  • May 13, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add subtasks and (for premium users) dependencies are some of my favorite features of Asana because as a visual person, I love being able to see all the tasks associated with a project. Being able to assign and essentially order the process is helpful for things like employee onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I think I might like more features, like different visuals of a project, but for a basic project management template, it has what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently implementing a new HRIS and some of the onboarding features don't allow for what we need so we have been using Asana to keep track of all our checklists for onboarding, offboarding, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend the time setting it up how you want and try out the templates Asana has created. If you think about the process and what you need to accomplish and lay it out thoughtfully, Asana will definitely help you accomplish your projects and to-do lists.

my experience with Asana

  • May 13, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
it was one of the premier project management tools I was introduced to and I found to be extremely user-friendly with its interface and it served the purpose of a small team

there were only basic functions with adding in items and timeliness. The new software available offer an array of functions and services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
tracking a project's timeline
Recommendations to others considering the product:
assess the size of the team and the functions you need out of a project management software before making a decision

Asana, a simple and practical application.

  • May 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very clean and designed exclusively to make the user experience pleasant and fast, the main panel is very clean and looks like a white leaf at first so as not to stress you with unnecessary instructions. To create tasks has greatly simplified the process as you just need to do a couple of clicks, this simplification is well focused as this tool is not to develop complex schemes but to organize projects. It is fabulous to be able to register the people you want and interact with them through the comments they make.

To add attachments you just have to drag and it is very good to immediately notify the project's security on the files that are uploaded, in addition to being able to assign tasks to multiple users. It is recommended to assign individual tasks because when you mark the check of completed task this disappears from the dashboard. To see this in the task view you can see all the activities and give it as unfinished and see everything that has been done.

Asana is a very interesting project center where you can track your tasks from any device with mobile applications where I only recommend to see the tasks because the desktop platform is the best. The addon version of google chrome is great to manage locally. The battery of notifications in Asana can sometimes be annoying but is understandable in a communication center and organization of teams but you can modify this to avoid the email reminder to avoid spam.

This manager is free or you can pay less than a dozen dollars a month but for large teams the price goes up, this can be saved due to the possibility of creating unlimited tasks and subtasks, Asana functions are very good for small projects or very fast tasks with few people because the platform has certain limitations as to the changes that can be made in a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is easy to understand but in order to understand it you must review it carefully so that you don't get confused with so many options and can find the best workflow. I have a negative criticism regarding the keyboard shortcuts, some of them do not work or are very uncomfortable to apply, I suggest to leave this to the consideration of the user. Another important thing is the fact that you can't change the type of project once started, for example if you start a list project you can't convert it to a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a widely used and known task management tool, it is a suitable tool with certain advantages that require experience in order to exploit them. It differs from similar managers by having the ability to communicate any changes made in the project through an internal channel and via email. You have no limits regarding the tasks you can perform and the appearance and usability are very simple, you just needed time to understand the potential they can give to your team.

You can think that all this can be done with another tool but Asana is designed to provide interactivity in sending documents for a project, this way we avoid the use of email and have an effective communication in real time.

Asana should only be used for free and with few users, if you are going to buy it I recommend that there are only 5 users because you pay 5 by 5. It's a page to see the progress of certain projects and go marking them as completed, beyond that does not offer something more relevant but is very easy to use with a fast interface.
