Robust project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very thorough. It accounts for several layers of project hierarchy and makes it easy to navigate through those layers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels a bit bulky to use, but I really don't dislike anything about it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping detailed tasks separate for multiple ongoing projects. I love that the individual tasks can still have thorough notes appended to them for context.

What do you like best about the product?
I love how quick everyone on our team can work together. It's very intuitive. It does everything that we need it to and more. We really can really organize all of our thoughts and tasks better than before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of down time. There is a lot of times during the day that Asana is being worked on and is down so we lose a lot of company time. Any way that we could work locally would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to keep client info and tasks together. It makes everything streamlined.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't think about it. It's incredible. Just use it for any and every project. It hooks you in and I've even used it for home projects intermittently to make sure I don't fall behind. It's an amazing software.
This is a high capacity project management software.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visual layouts of the boards. It is good to be able to see everything that needs to be accomplished over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had richer google integration. I feel like I am having to put everything in twice to cover my bases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are planning out projects and events for our church. This helps us to think forward to things coming down the road.
Asana - Magic Glue for your Team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the Nth team member. It is the trusted system that our whole team uses to get tasks and thoughts out of our feeble, human brains, and into something structured, concrete and actionable.
With Asana (and many team conversations), we can move faster while all being on the same page.
With Asana (and many team conversations), we can move faster while all being on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that Asana had a desktop app (even a web wrapper like Slack would be great) so that I could get it out of my sea of tabs (sometimes even a pinned tab isn't enough).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem - keeping work on track and moving through managing tasks and to-dos, while also maximizing transparency and visibility of work across the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. It does a lot, it has a lot of great features. But at the end of the day, you need to build your teams understanding of the value of using it. When we first started, we didn't quite get "all-in" and it took a bit for us to realize that we needed to shift our mindset to fully realize all the benefits.
As with everything, it's a process.

Cannot live without it. Literally!
What do you like best about the product?
It's the one stop shop that I can use to manage ALL of my projects. Previously I'd have certain to do lists in other software... some lists in email drafts... some lists on sticky notes. Now that I'm in the routine of using Asana DAILY (more like by the minute) I put absolutely everything in Asana, making it my reliable source of truth for what needs to be done next.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few years back my biggest complaint was not being able to set deadlines by the hour, but now that that's available I'm struggling to find something here... A neat feature idea would be in app (or desktop) notifications of when a to do is approaching. A subtle reminder to get working on something, because I don't generally use the daily emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Relying on individuals' memories is really hard, and a huge bet. Asana allows me to keep track of multiple related, and unrelated projects, of all different sizes and timeframes. I can keep a to do list for all the things I need to do on a project that's 2 days long, or plan out an entire year's roadmap. It serves as a SINGLE tool, to keep track of EVERYTHING work related.
Easy and Awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
I can do anything with it. Manage software dev, track bugs, manage small content/mktg tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to update the custom fields from the list view. Changing the associated project for a task and then choose a new section is slow sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing our dev process. its great to have total visibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
do it!
Daily Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
We use this to organize actionable tasks associated with our projects, as well as any day-to-day, monthly, annual, or one-off tasks which we in the Tech Office have to do. Asana is great for a simple, heads-up checklist of dated tasks behind which lurks the full functionality of a workspace for each task, team chat, and project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana feels cluttered and disorganized once you have a hundred or so tasks or projects. The sort tools are good, but it could benefit from some more granular and savable filters for sorting and organizing the dashboard.
The mobile/phone app is a bit clunky.
The mobile/phone app is a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, we had a ticketing system, our email Inboxes, and our calendars for capturing and organizing our task list. As a result, there were things that didn't fit in any category. Tasks that weren't tickets, that needed to not be cluttering up our Inboxes, and didn't necessarily have a hard and fast date, but that were priority enough to require doing. Asana gave us a place to not only store those tasks, but organize them by project or type and assign tentative completion dates. It's also a useful place to add notes, files, and ask questions without having to resort to separate applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
-Use it for actionables/priority tasks only; a couple of our users tried to use it for things like "read this article" and "review this peer journal" and other great professional development, but ultimately nebulous things that only served to clutter up the dashboard.
Asana has helped with productivity
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has helped me keep track of multiple projects at a time and stay on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to have another window to look at all the time on my browser.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying on track and not falling behind deadlines but rather staying ahead of the game because I can see everything at a glance.
A really Great Way to Manage a LARGE Group
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of ways to use this program! You can remind yourself to do task, create reoccurring events that need to take place, make lists that pertain to multiple people and assign your team all sorts of organized and specific to-do lists!
What do you dislike about the product?
Though this program is very user friendly, there are some options you cannot manipulate or change. For example, you cannot assign one task to multiple people in your team easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to stay on task and use Asana for our small business. I am able to assign and generate tasks and see when other people on the team have checked them off. We love that we can use this as our calendar to see when important tasks and documents need to be completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say this is a great program to use with a team of 1-20 people. You can make to-do lists a lot easier for your group with this program. We continue to find more uses and great updates that make this an easy-to-use app on my phone as well- which I LOVE!
collaborative ease
What do you like best about the product?
creating tasks and tracking progress was never easy. The reporting on various aspects of project management is just a life savior.
What do you dislike about the product?
a single task cannot be assigned to two resources simultaneously. in such scenarios tracking is a bit misleading in terms of efforts spent on tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management on a day to day basis. reporting, statuses
Recommendations to others considering the product:
definitely if you want hassle free project management with minimal customization.
