Project Management System for Your Whole Team!
What do you like best about the product?
Each project is listed, with each task that is needed. We are able to set up templates and copy those for projects that have like tasks, but yet, we can add in new tasks or adjust or change after we copy the template. Overall Asana provides us with a lot of options for all the project we work on for all our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time, I really don't have anything I don't like. We've been using it company wide for over a month and it has helped us to stay more on top of our projects, but seeing our "My Tasks" tab which also provides you with a way to organize and categorize the tasks that is listed specifically for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complete tasks on time. Assign tasks to team members to ensure that a step or task is not missed during our project scope for what we've agreed to complete for clients. We also use Asana with our clients, and to date, it's working nicely to give them the inner view of how the project is proceeding, which we update them each week with a weekly report, but they can check Asana whenever they'd like as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a Project Management system that will allow you to provide your team with the best of both worlds - giving them their tasks and have everything in one system for task driven completion, then hands down, Asana is a smart choice.
Great for productivity - initial learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.
Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.
Asana gets projects done!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to plan out events on the different boards and see what my to do lists are and what needs to get done. I love that I can collaborate with people in real time to see what needs to get done and what has already been completed
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the notifications are good but I am thankful that I can turn them off when they are too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We plan major camp events for 600+ kids so there are lots of logistics involved. With Asana, we are able to prioritize our lists and collaborate together to get everything done. It also makes sure we dont forget anything important or let details slip through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to plan out events!
Most simple and intuitive task manager
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome calendar view with tasks. It's like in google calendar, but more user friendly, useful and cute. Also powerful feature - repeat tasks. I have a lot of tasks like pay taxes, check advert, which repeat every few month, days, years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything is ok in Asana. I wanted calendar view on mobile devices, but they did it few month ago.

Perfect solution for small teams and personal usage.
Easy to use,
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, yet has some great features to make it more complex with projects. I love how you can have tasks assigned to multiple projects so you don't have to update in two places.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it doesn't work with the Slack integration (you get all alerts) and they don't have their own IOS app for my Mac. I had to buy an app (task control) to have it as an app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage all types of projects: New product development, creative, content, images, etc.

Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was a very easy to use application. I liked that it can be accessed from any device - desktop, phone, tablet. It was easy to create and manage communication and tasks within the each respective project.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a fairly simple tool used best for cardwall/to-do list type of projects. It's best for the projects that have little task dependencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An easy way to connect and collaborate with folks across different departments for the same project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool when planning events or programs only requiring a to-do list. It's simple to create projects and tasks and to add/assign folks to the appropriate tasks. If your team functions best with reminders, this application can be set to send daily reminds to complete overdue tasks until they are completed. I would not recommend this for projects or programs that require a lot of task dependencies.
Asana keeps me on track
What do you like best about the product?
I like the following features best:
-ability to tag coworkers
-upload multiple versions of files
-add subtasks to a larger task/project
-ability to sort tasks by due date/tag/project

-ability to sort tasks by due date/tag/project
What do you dislike about the product?
The primary thing I dislike is the integration with slack. The notifications were *constant* so our team ended up turning them off. It seems like it could be helpful to integrate a slack note to an asana task, but you could just have asana open in a different window.
I also have doubts about it being project management "without e-mail" because you still get notices of comments and task due date reminders/prompts via e-mail.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have an entirely remote team and are often working on several projects simultaneously, with shifting priorities. Asana is really helpful in keeping us organized and having a central location for tracking progress. This has also helped us better integrate our team into other departments that we work with. The ability to all see one project and it's progress - outside of just meeting times - has helped us improve cross-functional collaboration.
