Great for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
The clean interface and the list view for writing and sorting tasks is one of the simplest I've used. I like how the team calendar and the ability to colour code different projects. Recurring tasks are great for meeting agendas as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
We currently use the free version, which limits our abilities to project plan. Mainly, the lack of start dates and dependant tasks. A gantt view would also be a nice feature to have. I also believe that being able to assign tasks to more than one person would be a useful feature. You can add followers to a task, or create subtasks, but assign due dates for projects and meeting schedules are areas that require more than one assignee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a small team of 5 creative and marketers running an in-house agency. We appreciate the ability to place high level task quickly and easily. A big deciding factor for our team was that none of us wanted to add more admin tasks to our workload. We don't use Asana for true time management, but it is a great tool to ensure that everyone team member is on the same page and has visibility to all projects coming down the pipeline. We also have two teams with overlapping members - being able to categorize projects by team (i.e. department) has been useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other project management programs that are more robust than Asana, but this is a great, straight forward PM software for teams that need high level visibility and less time/task management.
I love asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the layout, how easy it is to make tasks and the customizable features!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love that it doesn't sort your tasks by default. I would prefer it automatically show me tasks in order of due date, and then provide the filters to change that view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing my team and keeping track of small tasks that can't be forgotten!
Asana changed the game for me
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Asana is being able to create tasks and assign due dates so that I'm always on top of my to-do list without forgetting any steps in my current projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I wish Asana had was the capability to make a range of dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to communicate with my clients or team with Asana without having to use email and have files lost in translation. I'm also able to keep all of my files in one central place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend using Asana if you are a service based business owner or if you have a team. You are able to effectively communicate with every member on your team, limit or broaden user capabilities within Asana, and set up client projects. You're able to upload and download files so that you can keep documents in one secure place. You are also able to check off tasks once they are complete and place subtasks within one task. The only upgrade I want it to have is the ability to have start and finish dates for tasks so I don't have to create a (start) and (finish) task for one particular item. Everything else is great. It is very easy to use and connect other users. They also have an app so you can communicate with your clients or your team even when you are out of the office. You will always know when a project is on time.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It makes my life, and that of my team, easier with the ability to keep all of our individual and group tasks and projects in one place and easy to manage. It is very user friendly and keeps us all on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is not much I dislike about Asana in it's web form. The app could use some improvement, as it seems slightly less user friendly and could use some offline support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were having issues with communication across departments, which was causing issues. With the help of Asana, our communication as an organization is improving, as we are able to assign tasks to those in other departments and are able to are able to work together better on moving toward success in our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product for team project collaboration, brainstorming, and personal task lists.
Asana for team project tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Best features are ability to track multiple team members' progress, deliverables by due date and use of fun themes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limited views but overall the traditional view by project and sub task works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps curb the amount of email clutter I get. I like the instant check-ins on project status and the seamless view between desktop and android phone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, load in your proje ts and track all the details from small to big.
Asana Boosts Accountability and Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to customize it to fit how your organization works. I also think the training, both in terms of video tutorials and live webinars, is incredibly helpful. These resources also help increase buy-in from new users being asked to integrate Asana into their workflow. Asana is extremely powerful and, as you get deeper into it, it can provide a whole host of integrated solutions for project management. That said, none of the "bells and whistles" are required to get started. It can be used in its most basic level, which is extremely intuitive, and still have a huge impact on order and oversignt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Possibly the limitations on adding outside contractors without buying additional licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have dramatically increased accountability and project management since adopting Asana. In addition, we have eliminated a lot of pointless emails by having all communication live within a task or project. This has also reduced the number of meetings we need to have to get everyone "on the same page."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and be sure to use the training resources to get others on board. Side note: your site won't let me upload the screenshot to confirm so you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4wrqg7bcr8n818/asana.jpg?dl=0

Great collaboration for a team!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to collaborate, task out projects and see timeline/calendar all in one place. Our team works remotely often so we rarely have the ability to all jump into a conference room. This serves as a way for us to stay connected and know what our team members are doing, see the calendar, know progress and status made on a project.

Can be overwhelming to get set-up on a project and get everything entered in.

We are solving communication issues, huge overload of work issues and the necessity to separate and keep track of all of our projects and brands.
