5 Stars isn't enough for Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that Asana encourages you to try before you buy, and in that trial it's robust enough to add value to any organization. They show you what the basic package can do and it's impressive, so when they roll out updates or opportunities to upgrade I am more likely to go with a product that I know works!
What do you dislike about the product?
That the free option is 5 users honestly most marketing teams are 6 or more, and for a small business just bumping it up the 1 person to use the free trail to evaluate the software would make all the difference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is an essential tool to implement not only in a marketing environment (where you need to have clarity at an given moment on multiple projects/deliverables) but also it's a great way to train employees to be managers.
Typically we roll this out to new managers to teach them how to set clear goals and communicate effectively with their direct reports, however we have not started using this with under performing managers and seeing great success

best tool out there for small businesses- if you dodn't all ready have a project managment tool you NEED to get this.
Asana couldn't replace Inbox, but has definitely reduced it to a minimum
What do you like best about the product?
Asana listens to feedback, and keeps on improving. They keep adding new features that make project management even simpler. Yet, the tool has not bloated itself up to a level that the learning curve to use it becomes too steep. It has all the features you need, and none that make it clunky.
What do you dislike about the product?
Permanently keeping it open on the browser just slows down chrome to no end. If you don't keep it open, you have to rely on email notifications to keep track of notifications - which goes against their mission - say no to emails. A desktop app or a light weight notification plugin would have been great. There are some chrome plugins available, but none are user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track everything on Asana. Projects, daily tasks, wishlists, minutes of meeting - everything that needs to be recorded or tracked or shared.
It just helps everyone stay updated, and collaborate effortlessly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Any tool is as good or bad, as the effort you put in, in understanding its features and adapting it for your business. I've known people who have hated Asana, because they weren't using it in way that it could add real value. Asana is made in a way that leaves a lot to interpretation of how it should be used. At our firm, we changed the structure thrice before we were satisfied, and then it worked wonders for us.
My recommendation is to look around some of the suggested implementations by Asana team, play with the tool for a week, and give some thought on how your business can make the most of it. You would love the tool then.

Reports can only be done at the project level - not the task/subtask level.

Utilizing the tool to manage ourselves and our clients.

Flexible Software

The design changes. Sometimes this happens too often

Website building, e commerce, business specific in house software. IT is great for seperating work from life lists.
Asana Usabilty
What do you like best about the product?
I love the colors and regular updates that I receive via email. I also like how you can share and comment on files instead of using a long confusing email chain.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of how the tasks disappear when they are completed. I mean the best part of writing a to-do list is crossing off the tasks and seeing how much you've accomplished!! I think it would be helpful to be able to share and see the completed tasks with colleagues and bosses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I design content for 10-15 articles on a health and wellness site everyday. It helps to share files with all the different writers in one place. Feedback is received in a more organized fashion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take advantage of this product in your everyday life, not just work! I use it to remind myself of birthdays, shopping lists and tons of other random personal tasks.
Asana helps you stay on track
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you're able to make lists and check them off. You're able to add others into your group to view these lists, so you can make sure time is being used efficiently. I love the design, especially the narwhal and unicorn animations that create excitement when you finish a task.I love that I could use it on any device like the office computer, my personal laptop, and even on the go through their app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I forget how to do things on Asana, so it can be a little confusing and takes some time to get accustomed to using all the features. Some features on the app do not work as well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized and finishing tasks is made possible by Asana. Especially since my coworkers and I only meet in person 3 hours per day twice a week, it ensures the information we need from each other is communicated by asking for it. It helps develop a plan to complete the goal by having it laid out ahead of time before beginning the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for staying on track and developing a plan ahead of time for the team or for yourself in completing a project successfully. You can use it on a desktop, laptop, and cell phone.
Mostly good, tends to lag sometimes
What do you like best about the product?
How easily we can organize and manage individual projects. Perfect for freelancing
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface can be buggy sometimes, may have tod with adblock?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very beneficial when organizing different tasks for different areas.
Best software to manage projects with individual + team tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the platform feels social. The ability to like, comment, and follow tasks is very intuitive and makes working together as a team using this software feel personal.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the admin, I oversee all the projects. I wish there was a better dashboard in terms of at-a-glance stats to see the progress of the projects. Maybe something visual showing me the % of the project that has been completed and where we are on a timeline in terms of deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this to manage basically all of our projects and tasks, both as individuals and a team. It's so much better than sending emails back and forth and trying to keep up with long email chains.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So great! No risks in trying it out since its free.
