Great Team Management software that allows everyone to be on the same page.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the usefulness of the software to be able to assign team members specific tasks and deadlines for projects that we are working on together. The app for Asana also is a great tool to take what you're doing on the browser platform and work on it on your phone. The ability to quickly assign people to task in your contacts as well as in your network or teams is really helpful to get work done quicker and more efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Often times I don't like getting all of the notifications that come in and out when someone changes assigns a task to an individual or to the team. The user interface initially isn't as straightforward, but over time I was able to fully understand how to best make use of the software to meet our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to really coordinate with one another on what tasks need to be done or completed, as well as create good systems for timeliness on projects being done. One of the biggest benefits I see with Asana is the ability to create teams and it all be under one platform. It also connects pretty seamlessly to other software like Slack; Google products; etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that this is a great product, works great with organizations that multiple teams and multiple tasks that need to be done! I love the ability to assign jobs to others as well as give them clear instructions on what needs to be accomplished.
Useful
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for tracking multiple people's projects. As a manager, I can see where my team has progressed as well as what projects are still in the works. It gives a great wholesome view of where we are as a group but also individually. I like how you are able to sort and organize the tasks and add due dates as well as times. You can also create tasks and subtasks and assign them to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about Asana that I have found thus far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team goals are streamlined through Asana which I love. I no longer have to ask each person the status of their projects, I can simply check their tasks myself.
All organized with asana

Among the things I don't like about asana is that it doesn't have an efficient metrics system that allows me to know how far along I am with a task.

Currently I find myself using asana because with it I no longer forget to perform any pending task, and that way I have managed to be more efficient at work and allows us to manage the different projects we have currently allowing us to be more efficient and effective when organizing and managing the work, although it costs a little at the beginning once you know asana is really easy and simple to use and really helps you in the work allowing you to do several projects at once.

Our business is growing rapidly, and as the team grows, Asana allows us to streamline and task everyone appropriately.
Good Management Tool In Slow Growth
What do you like best about the product?
As a project management tool, Asana takes the lead because of the ease of its context menu and because as soon as you enter the platform you can already make notes on the tasks to be performed. The platform is very flexible and adapts to the needs of each type of professional. It is very nice to find templates for different departments already pre-configured, saving you time in the design of templates. Adapting to the platform only requires a few hours and for this I recommend to see some tutorials on Youtube on this platform. It is good to emphasize that the roadmap of each project is well focused on deadlines, attachments, tags, comments in the style of any social network and tasks and subtasks. There are many options to write things down and keep track daily with a fairly interactive and fun interface but with some flaws that I will comment below on the disadvantages that Asana presents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes checkboxes and text boxes where details about tasks are entered can be removed very easily because they don't show confirmation messages when deleting items. This is aggravated if there are many members making modifications within the same project in Asana. With regard to custom fields, they are well focused but remain very basic to represent major projects, at my discretion prioritize text fields low, medium, high or indicate the status of the task pending, in progress or pending final approval, lends itself to confusion due to the little organization that present the Asana boxes. I am in favor of the inclusion of virtual folders where each set of tasks can be stored and not have them all piled up on the main board because it creates stress and confusion.
I also miss the integration of a chat within the platform to have the possibility to send messages quickly to colleagues or to ask questions or clarifications that do not require writing an unnecessary comment in the structure of projects. While these comments give a Facebook-style interaction to Asana, it should only be used for comments of highlights regarding the project.
The price at the moment does not seem attractive to me and I prefer to use the free version while expanding the projects, apart from this I can only suggest the Asana team to make significant changes within the platform to be used more because I feel it is becoming obsolete and unattractive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The program has managed to solve some problems in the organization of minor projects within my personal and professional chores, at times I do not consider it as the first option for the organization of projects because it has become very outdated with respect to the addition of a context menu more friendly and less prone to errors, also I would like to see a downloadable version to not consume so many resources using the web browser.
Asana is best for creating a project and the tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana can share tasks, projects and the notes to our team members and colleagues. Asana is a great software for managing our projects and for the team collaboration. Through this software, we can easily create a new projects or tasks and better manage our scheduling programs. The best thing that I most like about this software is that we can easily create templates for the different tasks and the projects. Hence, we can easily communicate and better track our projects in a more efficient way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana software take a lot of time to learn how to use the efficient features. So, for the new users it really struggled to use its outstanding features. The specific features are not so easy to use such as the dashboards and the communication feature. This software is not so super intuitive to use. This software does not have the ability to chat and messages with our team members and the colleagues in an instantly manner.

A great project collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
We can assign a task to the remote employees with ease. The application interface is user-friendly and we can start using it without taking any guidance. The option of adding a name to the discussion topic helps all the people to focus on the subject without getting distracted.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application is very simplified and thus has a very little to no Cons. I feel the subtasks option needs to be integrated with the main task so that we can easily see what are our subtasks instead of scrolling down. Some more features such as video calling can definitely be added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating with the team on a certain topic and task was always a problem which was solved by using asana at the workplace.
