ASANA Is great to keep staff in contact with whats going on

ASANA is great to keep staff on the same page for projects going on that either have several key components to get it accomplished or have several people taking part in the completion of a single task or more in depth participation.
What do you dislike about the product?
ASANA worked well for what we needed it to do at the time so there really wasnt any issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Starting to get more members of the Marketing team to use Asana as the go-to for project management, making progress easier to track.

Asana is great for organizing my to do list and setting deadlines!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana is so easy to work in and it's easy to add, remove, change, rearrange, reorder, etc. all of the things on my to do list. It's nice to see all of my tasks in order of due date so I know what I need to focus on each day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a separate section for recurring tasks so that they aren't bogging up my to do list. I like when things get crossed off my to do list (shorter list means I'm getting things done!) but when the recurring tasks are in my to do list, it looks like I'm never getting things crossed off!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to organize my to do list and keep me organized and on track.

I love the sharing and monitoring of tasks that Asana offers. At my work we poll Asana through Slack and have reoccurring tasks set up that auto populate and make it easily manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI takes a bit of a learning curve to become familiar with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have greatly consolidated and organized our tasks making our workflow much more efficient.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try
Easy to use with clean design
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is so intuitive and easy to use, so you aren't wasting time when you create/edit lists and boards.
The lists are flexible and can be moved by dragging and dropping tasks or adjusting dates. The calendar also really came in handy when I was working on my final thesis project. Sometimes I needed to just see a long list of everything and other times I needed to see more of a timeline with dates, so I'm glad that the calendar is actually useful. In Basecamp, I never use the calendar tool - it's just not my favorite.
Another great feature is the ability to tag tasks. It makes sorting things so easy.
This isn't the most important part of the product, but Asana is very clean and beautiful. It combines style AND function. Some project management tools look like they were created by people who hate beautiful things.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about this product. I do wish that there was a free trial period to test out some of the premium features. They have great guides for the product, but it would be nice to try something with your own projects to see how they work in Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this most for personal organization and graduate classes, but I also use this for my own. I realized that when you're overwhelmed with projects and tasks, having an overly complicated tool makes things more difficult than they need to be. Because it's so easy to use, I'm able to spend more time getting things done.
Robust project management tool available for free
What do you like best about the product?
The price (free)! The free plan gives you unlimited projects, tasks, and conversations for up to 15 team members. As a freelancer, I use it to keep both myself and my clients organized on various projects. It will be especially useful as my business grows and I need to coordinate with a virtual assistant, designer, and so on. You can assign tasks and set due dates to ensure accountability. You can also link files and choose between a standard list format or board format (a la Trello). Beautiful UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really! It takes some time to get set up because you have to manually enter all of your projects and tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to get overwhelmed by everything I need to do for my business. Asana keeps me organized, accountable and helps me focus on what needs to be done, when. It also helps keep my clients accountable on their projects, which helps me maintain deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Might as well test it out and see what you think – it's free!
Task tracking without the hassle.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to assign multiple task followers; email notifications as tasks are assigned, adjusted, or completed; the ability to create task templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat unorganized nature of the landing page showing your own assigned tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana has helped keep multiple parties across teams looped in on project management without long email chains or lengthy check-ins.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep an eye on emails coming from Asana about new functionalities - they're constantly improving and have answered an unasked "Wouldn't it be great if Asana had..." question on more than one occasion with that exact feature.
Organization made easy
What do you like best about the product?
I love the 'checklist' feature of my to do list. It's very satisfying to check things off. I like the collaborative part of it, that my supervisors can "assign" tasks to me and monitor my progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
The organizational structure is VERY disorganized. It's very hard to use, so I normally just resort to a very basic, rudimentary list. This isn't a big deal, but there's so many features that I feel are under-utilized due to the complexity. I would love an easier way to assign labels to projects and manage different client tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We aren't letting things slip through the cracks anymore. It's great to be able to hold ourselves accountable to deadlines, and since we can assign tasks to specific team members, we are all held accountable. I find I am much more efficient and productive by having everything laid out in front of me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It seems like it can be used for a lot of different businesses. The management feature would be very helpful to people who oversee a staff, especially project managers and client leads. Great for teams, and also personal task management. Depending on your needs Asana may be too much or not enough, but it has overall served my team well.
