Productive, Intuitive, and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Asana is the many different views that you can see your "tasks". The feature that I like the most would be the calendar view because you are able to see each departments to-do's and when they are planning and when they will be done. This really comes in handy when you are waiting on others work, for your work to continue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the checked tasks on lists go away. I wish they would stay so you can see what you have accomplished. I realize this is a personal preference and others may not feel the same way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity, mapping out our quarters and social strategy planning.
Our productivity has increased exponentially, as well as our plans for the future or even new ideas. New ideas sometimes come and they would be brilliant but for a later time. Asana lets us house those ideas in certain categories so that we are able to revisit them when the time is right. Our social strategy has been affected greatly, as well. We use Asana to map out and schedule all of the content related posts and can stay ahead of our social game.

Good as a basic to-do list
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana's due date and comments section. I can set up a task, assign a due date, and make comments about what I need to do. I can also change the due date if I wasn't able to get the task. It's a good snapshot of what I need to complete that day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using the free version, and I realize there are many more features available in the paid versions. I don't like that the comments get buried in the task. It would be nice to resolve the comments the same way you can resolve the task. It is also not much use as a project management system. Although, you can have subtasks in a task, there isn't much more you can add then the title of the subtask. This makes it difficult to break larger projects down into smaller sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana as a task list to prepare for a nonprofit Gala. Asana helps us stay on task with reminders of the days/weeks tasks. We can assign tasks to various committee members and they can update their own tasks as they complete them, or assign it to others, if necessary. We also add documents to share with the other group members which makes it easier to find the document when needed, rather than searching emails or the shared drive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Asana as a simple to-do list to keep you on track, but find a more robust software for project management.
Easy for Teamwork!
What do you like best about the product?
Seeing the calendar of projects that everyone is working on is the most helpful. It's a nice way to see how much is really getting done.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes, they have recently made some new reporting features available that really make it user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and work flow for projects has been much easier since implementing asana

Keep up the improvements!
Asana keeps teams organzied
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows teams to stay organized, and for individual progress to be tracked. I love knowing exactly what is coming up, and the interconnectedness of seeing my team members progress on prerequisite items so I can prepare for a task to arrive in my queue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a variety of helpful options, like sub tasks and follow up tasks, but these are hard to access and not as visually intuitive. I would also prefer tasks assigned to multiple people to stay and individual task, not split into multiple tasks, each with an individual name - or to at least choose an option. Some tasks are truly collaborative, not just repeated.
On mobile, Asana can be difficult to navigate. Because it has so many features, they are crowded together or buried in the app, or eliminated all together (such as options for sorting our how tasks are viewed).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the business problem of separate yet interconnected teams in a small business. I don’t want my tasks to be on a giant list with everyone else, yet I still need to be able to assign things to them and them to me, while taking into account items everyone is already working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a perfect tool to integrate multiple teams into the tasks of achieving overall goals, yet still not sacrificing details. Use the features so see what your part is in the larger picture, or making sure your team is progressing towards the larger goal. The mobile app extends the versatility of the platform, though it does have some navigation concerns.
Asana has been great in organizing tasks and cross-team collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana makes collaboration on team projects seamless. Everyone is able to hold each other accountable on project tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the UI of Asana. Some buttons are confusing and it is not as intuitive as I'd like it to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on company team projects on Asana, assigning tasks to each team member. Setting timelines and appropriate due dates is the big benefit I have realized.
Asana has legitimately changed our department
What do you like best about the product?
We started using Asana about 6 months ago and what started as basic to-do lists, turned into the way we keep our selves together and manage every single day at our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
the only thing I can maybe say we dislike is some of the customizations of the colors and way the dashboard works
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana we didn't use any software, we only managed our projects through word of mouth and separate to-do lists. we work globally, and this program allows us to share information immediately and efficiently across our department and countries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you commit to Asana, it can change your business. It is customizable and easy to use. It is set enough that you can follow it, but it also has enough features where you can customize it to fit your needs.
Asana - great way for teams to track their work
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great, simple task-tracking software. It is easy to use with an intuitive UI. Not only does it work well, it looks nice. All task tracking happens over the web so you do not need to install a program. Using Asana is as easy as logging in and loading up your tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana does task-tracking extremely well and it is actually quite difficult to come up with something I dislike. Sometimes you get logged out, but that's the nature of a web application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us track our tasks on a day-to-day basis at our workplace. It is great for team collaboration and communication.
Great Way to Manage Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana gives you reminders and allows you to add different people to a task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the layout of Asana. It can be overwhelming to navigate at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to keep track of important information and tasks to make sure I am on top of my responsibilities.
Terrific for a remote team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been great for organiing fundraising tasks at our nonprofit social enterprise.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adams's basic functions work very well, but some of the links with external programs can be glitchy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is best for a remote team: it can assign tasks, set deadlines, and create clear task lists for project completion, in addition to including links to valid research etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bring your full team onto Asana, and encourage everyone to use it regularly. It makes things far simpler than using a wide range of platforms simultaneously for similar functions.
The best project management & to do list app
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana is free and so robust. And I can use it for everything—from tracking my personal tasks and meetings, to managing my business projects with clients. It blows every other app out of the water.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I dislike, it's really that good. It's a tab I always have open and use constantly for my business. I guess if I had to pick one thing, I wish the surprise characters would fly across my screen every time I check off a task instead of randomly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am managing my project tasks, from first inquiry to final deliverables. I no longer email back and forth with my clients, so everything is in one place and super organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! You will love it!
