Good for a small business
What do you like best about the product?
This project has helped keep our different teams in sync by seeing what goes on from department to department, and where current projects are as far as completion schedules are concerned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our small business is older and has a tendency to rely on old habits and the mantra "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Transitioning to Asana from the old standard (e-mail) has been a bit of a hassle but we see the benefits long term in using a site like this to help streamline communication in a more organized fashion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of e-mailing questions to one another about project status, we can just login to Asana and get real time updates from different departments. Our waterjet operator has chosen to implement this means of communication and we've already seen great rewards from switching over (and he's much happier not answering a million emails a day!)
Nice product with rich and advance features

It is a good product that includes all features ranging from basic level .to advance level that are required in products under the category. Also its easy to use for all users. It makes the life easier to a much extent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although its a nice product , but still it lacks in some areas like there are somethings that can be improved like its UI and UX can be more easier and loading of the pages and navigation among the .different screens in the tool can be made faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using the product for some time in my work place. It has made the life easier and management of the projects and tasks has been much easier.
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it very easy for me while I am working to be able to keep track of all of the customers that need to be called back.. it allows me to seperate my personal calls from work calla.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are not careful when you set your dates you will put the item on the calendar years in the future. It could cause you to miss a date that work needs to be done if your not careful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to make sure that all of the customers that we promised to get called back receive that call that they are expecting. This makes us more reliable and trustworthy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is a must to schedule your work needs.
Fantastic Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can create and nest subtasks for clearer organization. I also love that you can tag your colleagues, as well as assign specific tasks, which helps everyone stay organized and on top of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it's difficult to view task lists in full screen. To do that I have to copy the link to the list into a new tab, and I often accidentally click out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team stay organized and on top of things. I helps prevent things from falling through the cracks, and where things in emails can get overlooked, Asana tasks are more difficult to miss when you're going through a list.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider it's compatibility with other products you use, like Slack.
Effective and easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks. Very user friendly. Team collaboration and file sharing is one of the best features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a free version. I feel that most of my negative feedback would be solved by paid plan. Perhaps too many email notifications is a major dislike. I wish the notification settings had a more robust filtering option. Also, it would be great if the card view projects could be automatically organized by date, like Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve project management, task delegation and collaboration. We find it beneficial to have the project data available at one spot and the ability to attached files to tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small teams. Asana offers a free version which perfect to get you going. Our team has been using free Asana for a number of years now.
Organize and direct projects in a very easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very complete platform to follow tasks and projects as a team, its interface has a great design and it is also very interactive, it allows me to add tasks, discussions and upload all kinds of files. It also has a native mobile application for Android and IOS very useful to take it anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost impossible to prioritize the tasks, in addition the complements or integrations of third parties are somewhat expensive for a small team, I could say that the free version is very limited, so it is not recommended for large projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep up with the other departments of my work since each team member can upload their updates, it is also very useful to keep the team organized and finish tasks on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool for large teams of people.
Love Asana. Very flexible. Feels right for any project.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the new charting / dependency tools. I love the easy to user interface. Everything is very well thought out and intuitive to grasp. The help videos and blogs are fantastic and make this an easy to pick up system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how subtasks/sub-subtasks get lost for daily workers. For example. The primary task when visiting a project is assigned to a project lead such as finish Services website pages. Now we have sub tasks such as create content and find images. Within those sub tasks we have tens of sub-subtasks. Assigning each image or each page of content to a specific person. When I come to a project, the view presented gives me no indication that I have work to do on the main task. I spend tons of time jacking with searches and filters to find my work. I have hundreds of things assigned to me at any given moment. Sorting my tasks by project results in tons of traversing up the tasks tree to understand the context of the assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization. Communication. Status Updates without interrupting work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. You get into it what you get out of it. When you scale an organization and/or work on huge projects you need to remember asana doesn't replace project administration. It assists it like a precision tool. You have to have a plan of how to structure and implement the project in Asana prior to the project. Get your team trained early.
Great for small teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add and assign subtasks and view your calendar of task due dates
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up different teams and adding predecessors is a bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for task management and delegation.
It help you realize what to do each day, let people know what they need to do for completion of greater tasks, and and delegate tasks to other team members

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works well for small teams, however if your team is large, a lot of work needs to be put in to make it streamlines and organized.
It can be confusing if managers are trying to find their employees tasks in a group, and there are a lot of ways to organize that which can sometimes be a hinderance.

Fair experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feature that you can assign people and send them the notification to let them know about the task. Also, being able to set the due dates is also helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
- A lot of email traffic.. Sending notification is good however, every single change that you make , other people are getting notofied which this sometimes might be disturbing for other people.
- If you're using basic plan , you cannot get the gantt chart feature which I think it is a key feature for a project management tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a company we have a lot of projects either small or big and sometimes it is getting hard to follow each of them. So, to have a clear instructions and being able to see who is responsible from each subtasks make the project more efficient and help it to move faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good start for small size companies to keep track of their projects. but if you have recourses , I think you should consider having a business account cause seems like upgraded version has more useful features.
Asana: getting sh*t done
What do you like best about the product?
Team members are held accountable, deadlines and responsibilities are clear
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to log into sometimes- from the Asana home page it can be hard to find the login page
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When using Asana for tasks and teams, the expectations are very clear and a deadline is clear. It hold each team member accountable because it’s all in writing.
