Great for project management - large or small!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for individual project management or the entire departments project management. The view options are perfect, I prefer to see things as a calendar, while others on my team prefer the stickie note view. The tagging and tracking is fantastic, and the integration with Slack is my absolute favorite thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is more on the department and team, but there isn't really a clear format for tagging and naming conventions - things can get scattered and confusing very quickly. It helps to go in with clear directive and having one person or tiger team own the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The department is trying to track timing, task allocation, progress on projects etc. all while providing visibility across the team into what is upcoming and what the status is. All of things things have been realized and are benefits. We've tried using Jira and Basecamp in the past, and Asana really gives us everything that we need across the board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried a few of these tools over the years, and Asana is the best one out there for our needs. Collaboration, project management, and visibility across departments.
A great tool for specific needs
What do you like best about the product?
Love the timeline feature, and the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features that just don’t work logically, or are otherwise complicated where they don’t need to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s hands down the easiest tool (timeline) to plan a project with. Saves a lot of time and headaches there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a true trial run before implementing fully. There are some things that you’ll only find out through putting it to the test.
Great organizational tool - helps us stay on top of campaigns
What do you like best about the product?
The task organizations system works very well
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of integration with a budgeting software program
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us stay organized. As an agency, we have many clients and if we do not have a system it can be very easy for things to fall through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Decide how you want to organize the product. There are many different ways to use projects tasks, etc. Make sure you leverage templates as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't organize your tasks properly, sometimes it is easy to loose or don't see pending tasks.
The hability for subtasks, although very powerful, can be confusing if the subtaks go too deep.
The editors are not "wisig".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although we are using the free version, Asana has helped us a lot on:
1) Communication between teams.
2) Transparency on delegation and responsibility.
3) Due dates assignment (or reassignment).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
1) Decide beforehand the overall structure of project, subprojects, tasks and teams.
2) Don't go too deep using subtasking. Two levels is good, three levels max. No more!
3) The learning curve is short, but if you are migrating from another tool (as was our case, migrating from trello), Asana can be difficult to switch. In our case, people who use trello is much more visual, using "cards" and Asana is more of a list view.

Great for Tasks and Projects
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that it gives me a clear picture of what my team is working on and vice versa. They can see what I am working towards and my deadlines. I also love that I can easily assigned and comment on tasks for my team and my manager, in case they need any assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that every time I log in I have to select to view only my unfinished tasks and projects. It tends to show my entire history and I just think it's unecessary to show.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easier to delegate tasks and create deadlines for different teams in our company.
Asana for Small Business

What do you dislike about the product?
Is limiting - can’t customize to specific business needs and projects need to be setup in a certain way to take advantage of more advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s a HUGE benefit to our organization . Being a global company it keeps all of our departments on track and communication transparent
Strong project management tool

Seamless app connections
I enjoy that it's easy to upload content via computer, google, etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just added a home page tab, similar look and feel of Basecamp, but able to get more tasks done in Asana.
Easy To-Use Scheduling Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an intuitive platform, allowing me to put all my scheduling deadlines and goals into one place. I also like how you can share it with colleagues, to ensure our whole team stays on track.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easier way to incorporate it to your desktop, so you can get quick updates on any upcoming deadlines, rather than going to a web browser to open it ip.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us stay on track with project management and implementation.

The new platform to organize your projects and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent tool that will allow you to organize your work, allows you to have work teams, with which you can share documents, can have conversations, have a list of tasks and see the process of them in a very simple way, its interface is very attractive and very easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a free version that is very limited, and another thing that I do not like is that it can not prioritize tasks and, since it is an online software, sometimes the Internet connection can affect the speed with which it works.

I can organize my team very easily, avoiding meetings, we can be more productive when we do the tasks or activities.
