Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was a very easy to use application. I liked that it can be accessed from any device - desktop, phone, tablet. It was easy to create and manage communication and tasks within the each respective project.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a fairly simple tool used best for cardwall/to-do list type of projects. It's best for the projects that have little task dependencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easy way to connect and collaborate with folks across different departments for the same project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool when planning events or programs only requiring a to-do list. It's simple to create projects and tasks and to add/assign folks to the appropriate tasks. If your team functions best with reminders, this application can be set to send daily reminds to complete overdue tasks until they are completed. I would not recommend this for projects or programs that require a lot of task dependencies.
Great PM tool
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome tool for collaborating with team members to get the job done. Has made my role as a PM much easier and has made deliverable tracking much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't assign tasks to more than one person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work at a small company, where everyone has a ton of stuff on their plate. Asana helps us make sure we don't lose sight of any small things on a daily basis, while also keeping track of the big picture stuff on a quarterly basis.
High quality platform, uncertain investment quality
What do you like best about the product?
Granularity over projects enable accountability and opens lines for support across different work groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface sometimes feels clunky, and therfore can be time consuming to maximize its utility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex projects across disparate work groups which require granular control. We realized potential to refine project details to most important details and make actionable plans to execute.
Great platform. It has allowed to manage all my tasks and showing the team what I am working on.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can share your workload with other members of your team.
I like how you can assign tasks to other members.
I love clicking the completed button when a task is finished (mini dopamine rush.)

Add more features.
Asana keeps me on track
What do you like best about the product?
I like the following features best:
-ability to tag coworkers
-upload multiple versions of files
-add subtasks to a larger task/project
-ability to sort tasks by due date/tag/project

What do you dislike about the product?
The primary thing I dislike is the integration with slack. The notifications were *constant* so our team ended up turning them off. It seems like it could be helpful to integrate a slack note to an asana task, but you could just have asana open in a different window.
I also have doubts about it being project management "without e-mail" because you still get notices of comments and task due date reminders/prompts via e-mail.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have an entirely remote team and are often working on several projects simultaneously, with shifting priorities. Asana is really helpful in keeping us organized and having a central location for tracking progress. This has also helped us better integrate our team into other departments that we work with. The ability to all see one project and it's progress - outside of just meeting times - has helped us improve cross-functional collaboration.
Great Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Asana is how detailed you can get, even in the free version. We currently use the free version as we are still new to it, and it has a lot of different options. I also like how it integrates with Slack (we are starting to use that too), and when someone comments on a task, we can reply in Slack and it documents into Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be very helpful to be able highlight sub-tasks in a color, like you can with regular tasks. There is a work-around (tags), but that takes more time, and we tend to forget. Also, it would be great if we could archive columns in projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are very disorganized with lots of ownership questions within different projects, so this program really helps to identify who does what, and then good to be able to look back and see what was decided.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want more organization, this is a very good product. However, it is very important to know how your office works and the different tasks for each person in order to get this going. It can also be a rough transition if you aren't using anything prior to this.
Excellent Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the organization in Asana and how easy it is to create projects with team members, tasks, timelines, and invite clients in to collaborate with us. The task list makes it super easy to see how your day/week looks and makes you feel accomplished when you can check something off.
What do you dislike about the product?
Conversations get lost sometimes in the news feed. When several people are collaborating on a project it's sometimes hard to loop the third person into a conversation since it can only be assigned to one person at a time. It'd be great to be able to assign one task to multiple people rather than assign a copy so that several people can be included in the alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of project time lines and people's to do lists. We also introduce bigger clients to asana to work with us in the software and they love it. They have the capability to be involved in the project and see progress as we work on it. It helps alleviate email and make sure that projects are not falling through the cracks. It is also a great communication tool for leadership in the company to keep ongoing private notes and remind ourselves of important things on a monthly/weekly basis if needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are still playing around with the pros and cons of pin boards versus lists for projects. They offer both views but you cannot switch it once you choose. Some project timelines work better on boards than others, but tasks don't disappear which is sometimes annoying. So it does take some testing on what works best for your projects and sometimes starting a project over with a new type of task list.
Project Management & Oversight
What do you like best about the product?
We use a couple different project management softwares for different teams and projects we are working on. We especially like Asana for our federal contracts in that it makes it easy to create to do lists for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it's pretty seamless and they have a good mobile app.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using the mobile app is easier than the desktop.. We have out inspectors use ipads in the field and upload docs and images to the app inside the app. We like how easy it is to use and recomend you download to try it out.
Great software for companies to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like the functionality of it and how multiple people can work on it together. This has helped tremendously with working with my internal teams at my job. Lots of options on how to setup and organize tasks. Great mobile and desktop interfaces that connect seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some specific features that are lacking and occasionally hard to figure out how to setup something a specific way. But affordable for what you get. When a project is finished, I have not found any way to remove it from my active project or equipment list. The only way I have found is to eliminate it or stop following the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for project management, communication and collaboration. Asana is really easy to navigate with a lot of features - a great juxtaposition that can be hard to achieve. You can tell that time was spent in the user interface & experience, so that project collaboration and management can flow easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana as it's amazing at organizing and managing big group projects and keeping track of huge volumes of information. Projects can be managed into dashboards for all involved team members to access and review.
