Streamline Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
At a marketing agency with around 70 people, Asana makes it much easier to assign, receive, and review tasks. It makes the hand-off between team members much more streamlined.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about Asana now that it integrates with Gmail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us keep track of tasks which ultimately makes us more efficient.
Easy Peasy and Pretty
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is usable for everyone - and I mean that quite literally - it allows users to view projects in their own preference (whether you need to see it as a list, agile board, calendar view, etc), making it the perfect option for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the free version allowed us to create more options in the templates. Some of the restrictions don't make sense, even in a free option!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to see all projects at a glance. The ability to have a master calendar. The ability to identify project tasks, due dates, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. It really allows for ease of use and visibility, essentially what the tool is needed for!
Great for cross-team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We use Asana for driving transparency across several teams, departments and even companies! It allows everyone to log in and see the same things, add comments and upload documentation, and is easily edited and managed. We love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
We still have to use other things like Jira tickets for internal requests or HubSpot for uploading recorded videos and as a general landing page for each of our clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for one place for all the documents and plans to live so that everyone on our team as well as each of our individual clients are all on track and bought into the same game plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great and easy to use product for even the most novice users! We like that it's easy to use, clean and quick. We still use other platforms for various reasons but Asana makes project management, transparency and collaboration so easy!
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Asana is that it is user friendly & works best for a small organisation to maintain communication between the project leads & other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you cannot create tickets within a project and assign that specific ticket to the related individual,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't really solve a problem with Asana. Asana helps us keep track of a on-going project, the status of the project, timeline definition by the individuals involved
Asana: great tool for collaboration and task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to keep track of projects and tasks using Asana. This is possible because of the simple, intuitive and well thought out interface.
Another thing I is the great integration with other tools I use, such and Instagantt, Bitbucket and Slack.
I also like the mobile apps, especially the iOS app. They're well built and make tracking my tasks easy.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is the lack of an inbuilt messaging feature, though that can easily be taken care of by integrating Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to more effectively manage projects and tasks. With Asana, we are able to see all ongoing projects and tasks and get them done in a timely and orderly manner.
Asana also helps make collaboration more effective, especially as it's integrated with Slack.

Asana is ok if you don't have requirements
What do you like best about the product?
There are some things I like about Asana. I like Asana's Kanban, tags, and the copy and paste of tasks. I like that you can add child tasks. I like there's a calendar associated with each project. I think Asana is starting to build out their software and I think they're listening to their end-users.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is not a mature tool by any means. It's fine if you're using it for yourself but I wouldn't recommend introducing Asana to your team. Why?
1. Notification is all or nothing. You can either turn on notifications or you can't. You can't toggle the notifications.
2. Relying on 3rd party for burndown charts. A lot of software project management includes a burndown chart. Asana uses a third-party app, screenful.me. You have to pay for it and it doesn't give clarity into the project's status.
3. Disjointed projects. You cannot see holistically the status of your projects. This means you have to click inside each one.
4. Struggles talking to 3rd party APIs. For some reason there is an initial sync and then the handshake drops. This happened across multiple APIs.
5. If you've used other mature tools then you'll probably struggle using Asana. It doesn't provide enough clarity or detail to be able to make decisions.
6. Very difficult to prioritize tasks. You can move tasks up and down but that's it. You also can't view tasks and subtasks across a project. You can only view the subtasks if the task is open.
7. No automated workflows. Makes no sense as your team has to remember the process for doing X. If you have a lot of teams this can get messy very quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The one business benefit I realized was tool selection criteria needed to be tighter. I wasn't here when Asana was chosen and the tool gets in the way of progress. I inherited the role of admin.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make your PM software selection criteria list tool agnostic. Can't imagine a mature organization ever using this. Might as well use Excel to track your project at this rate.
Keep all your tasks on track with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like using Asana all the time for many reasons. It has a great and convenient calendar to put all your required tasks and monitor them. The user interface and design is very decent and colorful which makes it easy to navigate and see all your tasks. Creating tasks is also so easy and there are many templates available to make life more easier for anyone and help the users to manage their goals. Another great feature in using Asana is assigning tasks to team members and track their work which is very useful
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app is missing many features that I hope they will add them soon to be as convenient as the web version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes working with tasks easier. It saves a lot of time and effort. I definitely recommend it for everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform for task organization and setting goals
Great Product to Keep Your Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the interface and the way it allows you to assign tasks to your team members. It's extremely organized and has helped me, not only keep myself on task and organized, but has given me a way to track my teams accomplishments without making them feel micro managed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the amount of emails the system sends out. Each time you assign a task an individual email with that task is sent out to those assigned. I wish there was a way to group the tasks, so the person being assigned receives one email with all of the tasks grouped together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were running into issues with my team not knowing what had been accomplished, what needed to be accomplished and what to do next during the work day. Asana has helped organize everyone's work day and it's not only reduced the need for multiple team conference calls each day, but people are happier because they now know what's expected of them each day and it's eliminated team members mistakenly working on the same tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want your team to stay on task, be able to report to your supervisor your teams performance accurately and show the efficiency of your team, then I would definitely recommend Asana.
