Simple but effective adhoc task management, flexible
What do you like best about the product?
When I was first introduced to Kanban a number of years ago, there wasn't any really easy to use software out there that I liked, until I was introduced to Asana. The notifications, project visualizations and overall UI is superb. They also continue to advance the product, some of the newer project management features and the things on the road map are particularly exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
For non technical people who are used to working in email, it can be a difficult learning curve, but if you stick with it (them), they get the hang as soon as the concept clicks for them. I'd like to see more templates made available for starting projects with boards, there are a few good ones now, but there could be so many more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting work tasks, especially adhoc tasks, out of email and into a trackable system so that everyone on the team knows what is done, what is being worked on and what isn't. It makes the whole team more efficient. It also helps with alignment and communications broadly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of boards, I suggest reviewing all the videos they have that explain some of the kanban concepts as well as how different types of people use it. You might also be interested in going to Youtube and searching for how to get the most out of kanban or how to get the most out of Asana. There are a lot of videos and user reviews out there beyond this site and some fantastic guides.
The best out there - but still more room to grow.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you test software like this you need to go "all-in" for a month or so - you can't "play around" with it .. you need to manage everything with it. If you are in a big group - then make a smaller beta group first
Time-saving tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of creating projects and tasks and assigning them to the correct owner.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI isn't perfect and can be frustrating at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management can be overwhelming, Asana definitely helps with this!
Great Project Management But Still Relying On Emails
What do you like best about the product?
What I like is how easy it is to setup and manage projects across a team of people. Asana makes it fun for the user as well with their integrations and themes. It is more engaging than a lot of other task management softwares
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do wish they would implement desktop notifications. One of the biggest things for me is to stay out of my email but that is really the only way to be notified from Asana. Sure, you could just live in the program but I’m using different applications at the same time. Could use the phone notifications but I already get enough of them!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost is a centralized locations for task management for all employees, as well as an easy platform to quickly share relevant documents on the go
Asana helps me organize projects and make lists
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
Project Management System for Your Whole Team!
What do you like best about the product?
Each project is listed, with each task that is needed. We are able to set up templates and copy those for projects that have like tasks, but yet, we can add in new tasks or adjust or change after we copy the template. Overall Asana provides us with a lot of options for all the project we work on for all our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time, I really don't have anything I don't like. We've been using it company wide for over a month and it has helped us to stay more on top of our projects, but seeing our "My Tasks" tab which also provides you with a way to organize and categorize the tasks that is listed specifically for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complete tasks on time. Assign tasks to team members to ensure that a step or task is not missed during our project scope for what we've agreed to complete for clients. We also use Asana with our clients, and to date, it's working nicely to give them the inner view of how the project is proceeding, which we update them each week with a weekly report, but they can check Asana whenever they'd like as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a Project Management system that will allow you to provide your team with the best of both worlds - giving them their tasks and have everything in one system for task driven completion, then hands down, Asana is a smart choice.
Great for productivity - initial learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.
A must have for projects and teams of all sizes
What do you like best about the product?
Segmenting, scheduling, and a timeline are all super useful when maximizing efficiency in any workplace.
What do you dislike about the product?
If it had a to-do list which was strictly tasty based that integrated into my calendar, that would be gold.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects, events, software, program development. We solve pretty much anything with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you’ll like it!
Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.
Asana gets projects done!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to plan out events on the different boards and see what my to do lists are and what needs to get done. I love that I can collaborate with people in real time to see what needs to get done and what has already been completed
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the notifications are good but I am thankful that I can turn them off when they are too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We plan major camp events for 600+ kids so there are lots of logistics involved. With Asana, we are able to prioritize our lists and collaborate together to get everything done. It also makes sure we dont forget anything important or let details slip through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to plan out events!
