Easy, Fast, Responsive Application that's Easy to Learn/Use
What do you like best about the product?
This is a simple and easy to use application that helps to keep you - and your team - on track/focused/able to meet deadlines. It helps keep you organized and I also like the fact that it integrates seamlessly with Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can overdue it with the number of emails that it sends. It would be nice to be able to go in and designate either the types of emails or the frequency in which you receive emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most importantly, project management. It has helped to keep me up-to-date/organized, focused on-task, which ends up helping me to meet - if not beat - deadlines.
Not User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to collaborate with co-workers. Asana makes it easy to collaborate. I like that you can easily see and filter out which tasks you need to accomplish within a specific timeframe. The one thing that I liked the best was the ability to add a recipient to each task. It was helpful for sorting out who was supposed to be doing what task. Tasks were not overlooked because each task had a person or people assigned to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think the interface is very user friendly. I ultimately did not continue using Asana as it was not as user friendly as I would have liked and it seemed to take too much time to learn than what it is worth. It was useful for the time period we needed it for at the time, but I don't think we will be continuing to use it in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration. Task Management. Time management. Our team benefited from collaboration, task management and time management tools. We were able to successfully track and complete projects and tasks that would have easily been overlooked and forgotten if we had not used the software. We benefited from Asana to complete a large project. The collaboration tools helped us to keep track of who was supposed to do what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone who needs assistance with team collaboration and time and task management. Asana is helpful to keep work flowing and time sensitive tasks accomplished.
Great for collaboration and keeping track of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can section out tasks and projects and assign takes to different users. Keeping chats, documents and links all in one place is so great for remote team management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be easy to lose information in a long thread and also the tagging of people when writing isn't always automatic (like say, facebook) so if you are not tagged properly in a thread it can be easy to miss messages etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration from multiple locations. Complex project management. Increase efficiency and communication.
Great for Keeping a Small Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can keep track of your own tasks, while being able to see coworker's tasks at a glance. I also like the ease of being able to go back and look at previously completed tasks, and uploading documents for reference. Overall, Asana integrates well with other products we use (i.e. Harvest, Dropbox, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue that I've experienced is having no clear way of seeing full projects. It's a frustration that if one deadline moves, everything else has to be manually moved. The start/end dates also are a bit misleading. If we add start dates, the task doesn't show on the top someone's task list until the end date, which at some points may be too late. Instead, it would be helpful if they showed on the start date and stayed at the top until the end date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Asana, the team was using a Google Doc (back when there was only a handful of employees). Now with 18 employees, it's a far better way to manage projects and deadlines. We can easily see how busy each person is, and when they have capacity to fit additional work in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small companies - but still is lacking in some respects (i.e. start dates/end dates), doing bulk changes, etc.
Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use ASANA to document the timelines and high-level deliverables for my projects. What I love best is that I can share this information with my team and key stakeholders, using a simple visual where I can provide updates and important files during the project's progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their timeline feature is not as user-friendly or visually appealing as I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ASANA has helped keep my team on track by reminding them when tasks are due or when updates are required. It's also saved me from having to keep my management team up-to-date on the project's progress as they have access to this information and can see for themselves what we are working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a simpler and more agile tool than Microsoft Project. I would highly recommend you test it first with a "small" project before using it for larger endeavors.
Repo Deluxe
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to organize and view repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
When there are too many items in a repository, it becomes visually overwhelming due to the format of the website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana, we are able to provide shared repositories that all employees are able to view.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's one of the most convenient ways to manage ideas, tasks and projects simultaneously, I strongly recommend using it!
Project Management For Everyone Else
What do you like best about the product?
The Asana platform eases you into projects and tasks management. With its web based interface and collaborative tools built in, you can get directly involved in using the software without all the traditional Onboarding headaches associated with other project management tools
What do you dislike about the product?
The Asana platform is singularly project /tasked focused. While that is a great feature, some integration with other web services or platforms is suggested. The Asana Platform is also appears alittle sophomoric. Yeah its easy to use, but visual counts as well The UX design could a better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The chief business problem we are solving is the alignment with all stakeholders. The Asana platform is allowing for a single version of the truth in where are with project/program progress. The chief benefit is accountability
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give the trial a serious go...at the end, you will know without a doubt if this is platform for you.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ease of use. Free trail
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Great integration with Outlook. Very easy to use. Easy for user to understand and set the targets. We usually update our goals during weekly meetings and set due dates for the goals. Due dates determine issue priority.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice if they made the integration with outlook even more intuitive. However, that would probably require assistance from the Outlook team instead of the Asana team. Also, did not see the GANT chart features in Asana. Would prefer if users have access to it down the road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team project management. We set goals and complete the task in Asana when the issue is resolved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy team management tool, Asana is a solid solution.
Useful at keep tasks moving forward

Tagging other folks, uploading docs, keeping everything together in one place - Asana is pretty useful at keeping projects on track and cross collaborating across groups to accomplish them.
