Its a simple to use project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
It has a free option based on smaller teams so you can test it out firstbefore you make a purchase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many people use it in the organization, its not as well known in the public sector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was tested to manage ongoing projects within my small team. It was easy to onboard them onto the program but we always forgot that we had it in the first place to keep using it.
Efficient, organised, aesthetically pleasing task organising tool - for individuals and small teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's amazingly detailed enabling you to break down all the tasks within a project and schedule them, delegate them and organise in the diary. No more lists on paper or emails to collaborators - it's all in one place - and with daily reminders to keep on track. And - it looks beautiful!
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't think of anything as yet that I can comment on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Far easier than making lists on paper, or the basic reminder lists in google or outlook; share tasks with a VA and designer and track progress; can see months of projects laid out in the calendar view and reduce overwhelm.
Easy, Fast, Responsive Application that's Easy to Learn/Use
What do you like best about the product?
This is a simple and easy to use application that helps to keep you - and your team - on track/focused/able to meet deadlines. It helps keep you organized and I also like the fact that it integrates seamlessly with Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can overdue it with the number of emails that it sends. It would be nice to be able to go in and designate either the types of emails or the frequency in which you receive emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most importantly, project management. It has helped to keep me up-to-date/organized, focused on-task, which ends up helping me to meet - if not beat - deadlines.
Not User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to collaborate with co-workers. Asana makes it easy to collaborate. I like that you can easily see and filter out which tasks you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe. The one thing that I liked the best was the ability to add a recipient to each task. It was helpful for sorting out who was supposed to be doing what task. Tasks were not overlooked because each task had a person or people assigned to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think the interface is very user friendly. I ultimately did not continue using Asana as it was not as user friendly as I would have liked and it seemed to take too much time to learn than what it is worth. It was useful for the time period we needed it for at the time, but I don't think we will be continuing to use it in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration. Task Management. Time management. Our team benefited from collaboration, task management and time management tools. We were able to successfully track and complete projects and tasks that would have easily been overlooked and forgotten if we had not used the software. We benefited from Asana to complete a large project. The collaboration tools helped us to keep track of who was supposed to do what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone who needs assistance with team collaboration and time and task management. Asana is helpful to keep work flowing and time sensitive tasks accomplished.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It does an awesome job of managing team projects and charting progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve seem to be a little too steep for some of my co-workers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team projects and progress monitoring. It has done a great job of allowing me to quickly see where a project is at and who has last acted on a task.
Great for collaboration and keeping track of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can section out tasks and projects and assign takes to different users. Keeping chats, documents and links all in one place is so great for remote team management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be easy to lose information in a long thread and also the tagging of people when writing isn't always automatic (like say, facebook) so if you are not tagged properly in a thread it can be easy to miss messages etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration from multiple locations. Complex project management. Increase efficiency and communication.
Great for Keeping a Small Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can keep track of your own tasks, while being able to see coworker's tasks at a glance. I also like the ease of being able to go back and look at previously completed tasks, and uploading documents for reference. Overall, Asana integrates well with other products we use (i.e. Harvest, Dropbox, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue that I've experienced is having no clear way of seeing full projects. It's a frustration that if one deadline moves, everything else has to be manually moved. The start/end dates also are a bit misleading. If we add start dates, the task doesn't show on the top someone's task list until the end date, which at some points may be too late. Instead, it would be helpful if they showed on the start date and stayed at the top until the end date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Asana, the team was using a Google Doc (back when there was only a handful of employees). Now with 18 employees, it's a far better way to manage projects and deadlines. We can easily see how busy each person is, and when they have capacity to fit additional work in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small companies - but still is lacking in some respects (i.e. start dates/end dates), doing bulk changes, etc.
Great free tool for collaborative tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to create my own lists of things I need to do as well as share lists with other members of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI is pretty buggy. Hitting "enter" for a task should complete that task, not begin a new one! Overall less flexibility than Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration issues with a team that's coast to coast. Simplification.

What do you like best about the product?
This online team collaboration tool specializes in workflow management, but it also handles the nitty-gritty of task management with aplomb
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be a one-stop solution if they add more project management features like Charts and all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a much more flexible tool to manage tasks and workflows, that can bend to your will. Asana is one of the best collaboration and productivity apps for teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try with a free plan initially. 15 users are supported. You will love it.

Easy to manoeuvre around the platform, adding and deleting tasks and subtasks
