Life changing
What do you like best about the product?
The customization is the absolute best! I also appreciate the ability to integrate with so many different things, like Instagantt.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not set up to bring on multiple clients to your teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now using Asana for a full team organization - tasks, resourcing, messaging, etc. We have realized the benefits of each person being able to organize their tasks in their own way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Study up on all the ways you can make Asana work for you!
Asana, a great way to keep teams organized
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of making new tasks in Asana, assigning due dates to them, making reminders, and how easy it is to delegate tasks to different team members. There is also a comment feature where you can tag other team members and have a conversation which is great for addressing questions related to projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been pretty happy with Asana so far. I don't have any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage tasks assigned to my graphic designer, video designer, and social media designer to make sure all 3 of them are on the same page when they need to be and know what they need to collaborate on and when projects are due. Asana has saved me a lot of time and now I don't have to deal with email chains between multiple people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana can be very useful for keeping projects organized and it will give you more free time
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is our form of a kan-ban. We use Asana for all projects that we currently have going on, as well as projects that are in the near future. We love the 'assigning' feature, so people know exactly what their tasks are and when they are due. Also, we like the fact that you can 'comment' and add notes on particular tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Asana can be a little confusing at times. I wish that my 'list' of tasks was broken down by projects. Right now, I see a full list of all of my tasks within all of my projects. Also, it is crucial to update your email notification preferences because you will be inundated with emails from Asana - including reminders, upcoming projects, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana as our project and task management platform. We've realized that this is not a platform that is used organization-wide, so sometimes there are gaps in communication if we are working with other teams outside of our own. I think if companies are going to use a task management resource, they should stick to just one.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Figure out what works best for your team and make sure that everyone is familiar with how best to use the platform.

Can be a great tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple clean features and how easy it is to view everyone on the teams tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know there are a lot of features I do not use and could benefit from. More easy how-to guides that prompt you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While working on teams, it's easy to track what is due from them and what is coming up. Makes communicating as a team and as a remote employee easier.
Fulfills base requirements for project management
What do you like best about the product?
The fact this its a no-frills project management tool and has user friendly navigation. But I can make it fun by adding a theme!
Ability to comment on current tasks, feature of liking certain comments.
Ability to see all teams, and task pipeline in one scrollable feature

Ability to see all teams, and task pipeline in one scrollable feature
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the no-frills UI seems to basic. There is no way to implement a form like interface for adding individual tasks. For example, for every task added I need the task to describe 1. what 2. how and 3. caveats - compulsorily. Otherwise it dominoes into more comments asking for more/less info etc.
Inability for the task window to pop-out of the right oriented navigation window. Sometimes the comments are lengthy and contributed by multiple members and its inconvenient to keep scrolling the small right side window.
No gmail or outlook email integration available. Would like to have it as an extension so that we're able to connect to relevant emails or email from within Asana app after attaching the task readily without having to download it and attach.

Very basic project management tool.
Asana is a team's one stop shop
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is that you can have multiple tasks in one project, and assign each task to a different person or team. This enables the leader to delegate tasks, and lets everyone involved see everything in the project, but lets them only be notified and bothered by the tasks that directly involve them.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of Asana is that because you can have so many tasks in a project, sometimes it's hard to find what you are looking for and you have to dig through folders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing projects in Asana enables you to collaborate with your coworkers on different teams and make sure everything is getting done and everyone's on the same page
Why Asana is a Lifesaver
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the tasks is amazing - they can be broken down in any way imaginable, and can reference other tasks/emails/conversations with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there were more options for client-facing interfaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team manages all projects and communications with Asana. It's been a HUGE timesaver and has allowed us to take on many more clients.

Definitely have a good understanding of your workflow first, as you'll want it to be consistent across projects in Asana.
ASANA- user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like ASANA for it's easy to use platform, and clarity. It covers all the bases, with scheduling and ability to share or hide lists from team members. it keeps everyone in the team accountable for work that is shared or assigned to each individual member.
What do you dislike about the product?
ASANA does send a lot of emails, with notices on reminders and upcoming deadlines. Though this may be helpful for some, it can be a bit overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a team that shares a lot of responsibilities but also splits up the work, this helps in making sure the work is evenly and fairly split up.

Managing client projects and internal tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great looking task management system. It allows for project tasks in lists or Trello-style Kanban board. The paid version includes task dependencies, project start/end dates, and customizable fields. When used with Harvest Time Tracking it makes project tracking/billing extremely easy. The SmartGantt integration is great for sharing a project status with clients.
