Great project management systems for business and personal use.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for my own company, our clients, and for my own personal tasks. Compared to other project management systems, Asana is pretty paired down. But that's perfect for most situations. Rather than feature overload, it's lean and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
For all its strengths, the interface does take quite a bit of getting used to. For my clients I always need to give them a walk through to make sure they can actually use it. That only takes about 15 minutes but it would be nice if it were more intuitive.
Also, it doesn't have a good visual representation of the project and it's timelines so you can see all of it at a glance. You can, however link it with Instagantt, which automatically turns your Asana projects into interactive Gantt charts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage my own teams and the teams on the client side. The task management and reminders are well designed and keep the teams synced up and on track.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great choice if you're managing a fairly complex project involving up to about 25 people. For enterprise level projects, you'll need a more robust solution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for general company operations & task management within individual teams. For example, our onboarding team uses it to manage task assignment to our team of interns who do data entry for us. Super handy for that.
In general, Asana has made it super easy to see where things are at a high level yet offers the often necessary granularity.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is very much geared towards list-lovers. If you're more of a visual person, they do have new board options that are pretty good, but could use some work.

Utilized with clients and recommended to others

Ability to assign tasks to others allows me to provide project management assistance to clients. The automatic reminders made it easy to keep everyone on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I didn't like about this tool. It served the purpose I used it for perfectly.

Need for project management. Prioritization of tasks. Reminders of assignments and deliverables.

This is an easy tool to get a team of people on the right page in terms of tasks, deliverables and due dates. This is a great tool for me to use with clients when providing them with project management support.
Love this tool for working with my virtual assistant
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can add something to Asana and I stay updated with the status of a project via email. Simple and easy integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
My first thought is to just send email. This isn't about the product as much as it's about me and how I use "technology." It's about a learning curve and perhaps a reminder to check in.
I think I've also had login problems as I may have created more than one account. (that's on me, not the product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication problems. Easy to manage and share details! The benefit really is about getting support in my business where I need it. Asana helps me manage that much more effectively!
Organization made easier
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows collaboration between multiple departments and people within an organization. It features many ways to use the same information (seeing it in different formats, sorting by due date, etc.), so it fits preferences of different users while keeping everyone up to date. Users can enter tasks directly from email and attach photos and files to tasks to keep projects organized well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish more features were customizeable. Sometimes if people organize things in different ways, it's easy to misunderstand or lose information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unifying teams, so everyone has the information simultaneously and remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to experiment with different ways to organize material. It's easy to use, but get everyone on a standard way to input and use information for a better unified experience.
It works and works well.
What do you like best about the product?
This is some incredible software that lets my boss assign projects to anyone on the team. It also allows her to switch tasks to others as needed, keeps great records of what's done. I can't say enough good things about this software.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is nothing bad about this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management used to be a nightmare and remember what tasks needed done. Now, I go to the web page, log in (when needed) and there are my tasks awaiting me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get it and set up your employees. It's REALLY incredible.
Would be lost without Asana - and my company would be as well!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the fact that it connects to all applications we use is a dream. I have never been happier with how quick it is to set up, how organized and granular it can get and how it very easily connects to Slack. The mobile app is great and keep you up to date on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to choose which projects I get emails about and which I get mobile app notifications for. There might be a way but I am not sure how to do so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration - we are a distributed team and we work on a variety of items that need multiple teams input. This makes the process much smoother, keeps everything in one place and even keep us from getting distracted from all the other noise that comes up during the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GIve it a try- they have free versions and great customer support to help you get it set up in an optimal way. Great videos online as well to show how other organize.
Asana is a winner !!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple interface. Mail from data. App is the best part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot tag same task under two projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy task management between various team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work management cannot get easier than this.
Simple to start, deep if you want it
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana to track my To Do list across a large number of projects and teams. I like that I can pull ToDo's from all of those projects and put them into a single list to work from. What doesn't get done today can automatically be on the list for tomorrow, or I can flush it and start clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest problem with Asana is that it's not easy to prioritize tasks. I would love to be able to prioritize by importance and urgency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me keep a consistent and organized list of what I need to do each day. I get a sense of peace and focus from knowing I'm not forgetting something, and a sense of accomplishment from crossing things off.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive in for sure -- it's easy to get started and they offer a free plan that lets you have a really great test drive.
