An excellent app to amange work and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is really easy to use and you can manage your tasks from your computer (without even having to download anything, something I really value) or from your mobile phone (through the app, which is equally intuitive and very conveniente!) from anywhere you need to! You can create tasks from your e-mail with attached files without even having to login and they will be there when you need them.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of options but you have to install external plugins for some of them. Also, the search option is not very good (it's fine, though!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are very happy with this app at my company. We always know who is responsible for every task and who is part of the team working on it. We have al the information about each project easily accesible and organized.
Quick and easy, tangible checklist
What do you like best about the product?
Organizable project boards, assigning tasks to team members, including deadlines, ability to view project calendars or team members project board tasks. Color coding is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
The maximum team members for free usage is about 15 members. When working for a non-profit with a team that grew to 30+ volunteer intern members, it was challenging to not be able to keep our taskforce and team members all in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps teams stay organized and delegate tasks per project. Super helpful for a large team that is running multiple projects at once while all team members are working different schedules and locations.
Great task manager
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to manage tasks, you can organize work comfortably and assign tasks to colleagues without complications, it is very simple and clear to use, plus, you can use external services to add the functions you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its simplicity, its greatest strength is its greatest weakness, the fact that it is so simple makes it difficult to mark the times and know when a colleague is free or not, or if a task is completed on time.
Having to look for those external services that I think should already be implemented is a problem, since these services can disappear or cause some problem at any time, although at the moment I am very happy with Instagantt+ which is used to apply the Gantt chart to the tasks created in Asana.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The organization within the work group was initially very difficult to manage, both the work and the timing. We didn't have any tools, and it was very challenging. We needed a free and simple tool to get started. When we started using Asana, we thought it was the best work management application we could use as a small, non-profit development group.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a good platform for small companies, you can create tasks in a simple and organized way, you don't need much knowledge about task management to be able to use it. Additionally, if in the future you want more with the external applications they offer, you can make more use of it.
Recommended for small teams that have just started and want simplicity, for later on I think other services are better.

Asana for work
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy enough to use and that makes adoption easy. The best part was that it made change management easy and I got the whole organisation to switch over from Trello. It made project management easy and intuitive. The Board feature makes it easy to see tasks at hand and is a good visual representation of all the work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There needs to be a better calendar feature within Asana. The current calendar is split across groups and makes it difficult to give a general overview of the organisation and all the team's involvement. The fact that to track progress of each project I need to pay extra, is annoying. It would have been a lot better if I could keep track of projects via prioritizing them according to urgency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest task for me was to set up the organisation's structure and operationalise all the tasks in one place. As a project management tool, Asana was able to provide me with that value. It's easy to use, so for people who have never used Asana before, it was easy to get started.
Task organizer of infinite benefits
What do you like best about the product?
A quick way to summarize it is: An agenda with infinite possibilities. At first, it may seem a bit complicated, especially because being a scalable and configurable application, it comes completely empty, but this is where its power lies, as it can be adjusted to any scenario. In our case, we use it as a board with schedules, quadrants, a database, and everything digitally, hosted in the cloud and in our case free because we don't reach the limit of 15 employees, so... what more could you ask for. Each user has access from a PC or mobile (Android and iOS) and it works really well. The truth is that even if you need more than 5 users, it is still an application very much worth considering, the learning time and money it requires is very small for all it can offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
That an application is so configurable can make it difficult for us to start because it comes empty. You have to create the users and all the projects we want with their respective permissions. Once the application is configured, it is about understanding how it works and getting used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a consultation board and on it we have all the data we need. It's like an agenda but much more powerful. You assign tasks to each person and everything is recorded, making it very difficult to make mistakes and saving a lot of time since everything is recorded and serves as a reference and historical record.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The version is free for up to 15 users, it's worth trying it out and seeing all its potential.
Asana -
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can assign a task to multiple people and it alerts them. It makes group projects a lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
the search capacity wasn't super great. You had to be super detailed and remember exactly what you were looking for, which can be hard when you dont remember.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using Asana to manage projects and assign tasks. It was helpful to be able to assign a task to multiple people and Asana made it easy to duplicate tasks for more than one person.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have someone managing the Asana account for your team.
So many features and capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps me accountable. I love the different views offered and the ease of collaborating. Customization is super helpful, from tags to boards to alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
From time to time, is difficult to keep track of important tasks, projects, and notes. My team has a lot going on so it is easy for things to get lost in the shuffle, even with email reminders and the Inbox. And, though it is very helpful, the levels of customization can be overwhelming and contributes to the "missing important details" sentiment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team's overall communication has improved through the use of the tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the training videos. There are so many available features out there that you might not know about.
Easy way to divide tasks and map out projects, a great planning tool that's easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use for assigning tasks and sub-tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to move items from one project to a different team's project. If you're on both teams I feel like you should be able to migrate an item (perhaps without the assignees as they may not be on the other team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used it to manage meetings as well as to align the timing of long term annual and semi annual tasks. It also helped me track the roll out of training.
Great Tool For Tracking a Group Project's Progress
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this program is that you can easily see how much work there is to do, and what the progress of the group members are. It also allows you to see the assignments that you have completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have more graphs. For example to see the productivity of group members over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work group uses Asana to have work assigned and to keep track of our group's progress on completing a project. It's especially helpful for remembering what work has been completed and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This program is good for keeping track of your own progress is well as that of your group.
