A really neat office
What do you like best about the product?
I love having all the tasks assigned to me on one page, and also seeing the progress that we propose as a team is really incredible
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I think it has many good things, the first impression is of a quite complicated and difficult to use platform. I think they could improve that aspect
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have ALL the office organized with this page. Everyone has access to the department of which he is a part and the projects in which he participates, we see who ends things on time and who does not. We also help those who need a hand with some issue
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before you get scared by how it looks, read a little about the page. It is really simple to use and solves many problems
Asana keeps us on target!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way you can choose a range for the due date, versus a hard due date. This allows us to see the task and actively have our brains working on it, with a goal date in mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the adding of a link. I wish you could add a clean link, such as you can on gmail or word doc with a clickable word, or phrase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping organized and able to keep ourselves busy after "that days" tasks are complete, but working on tasks that are in the range, and due down the road, but open to you working on it now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great product. Easy to manage, you can literally glance at at people or projects and see where you are with everything. Easy to assign new tasks and keep everyone on target with ranged due dates.
Just Amazing! Much more than just a task and project manager
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way you can create tasks and projects, assign them to users, define due dates, etc. The best thing has to be the way you can link tasks from one project to an other, and the compatibility with other apps!
What do you dislike about the product?
When you are new to it, it can be overwhelming... but you will get the hang of it soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now we can keep track of every project, know exactly on what stage they are, how much time will it need to get done, even when each task its assigned to a different person
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get It!! Ask for tutorials and support if needed.
Straight Forward Task Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The subtask function is incredibly useful and keeps the interface clean and organized. I also like that my team members can assign themselves tasks to keep track of productivity. The Google Drive integration is also helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer to be able to assign tasks to multiple people rather than just duplicating tasks. Completed tasks should move to their own "completed" section when checked off, but instead they just grey out. I add my own completed column and move them manually. Being able to organize projects into folders would also be helpful. As of now you can search for tasks assigned to a specific person, but you have to do so every time. You can't save a shortcut or anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Long term task management. I'm implementing this system with my team in order to organize quarterly goals which are often forgotten about until just before they're due. It allows me to assign tasks, pitch ideas, comment, share, and track productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For cheap to free group task management software it works well and has a lot of features. It's definitely not JIRA but it's a good lite option.
Keeps you and your team on track
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, there are so many ways to improve the efficiency of short term and long term tasks. First, the design of the interface is very nice and intuitive. Asana's foundational features are ones that make an organized person happy: ability to check of tasks, set sure dates and times, organize tasks into projects, and add subtasks to tasks. Asana also offers you varying levels of privacy for everything you enter. You can control who sees and had access to what, and you can also search for a team member's tasks to help keep them in track.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the things that I disliked when I first started using Asana have been updated now. The only thing left on my wish list is to be able to assign tasks to multiple people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm improving work flow, keeping team members accountable, and allowing all stakeholders to have status updates available to them without having to ask for it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In order for Asana to work for you, your whole team had to be on board. It will not work if only a portion of your team uses it.
Good for a go-getter
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a really easy drag and drop tool - It's great for individuals that need to visualize their projects and keep track of an ever-changing environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I wish Asana would do is push more updates to my desktop and not spam my email account. I'd love to have instantaneous pop-ups when my deadline is approaching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm utilizing Asana to keep track of our major projects and website redesign. When there is only one of you, it's easier to share your progress and track all the moving parts when you use a tool that's easy to understand. I can also include others as needs for both tracking and projects/assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for an easy and free solution, I highly recommend using the trial or free version of Asana for a few projects and tracking your success with interaction and logging. I found it very helpful with my own work whereas my co-worker/collaborator did not like her experience.
Keep organized - hold each other accountable - Asana is GREAT
What do you like best about the product?
I use it on a team of three and during our weekly meetings we have Asana pulled up and we enter our weekly tasks right there. As the week goes on we check off our completed tasks and everyone can see the progress we make! We also use the conversation tool on a very regular basis. When our team is crazy busy and we don't have time to run to each other's desks we can quickly ask a question and our team can answer in a more timely manner when it is most convenient for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are still relatively new to using Asana and are still exploring its full capabilities. We do not like receiving emails for all updates. There may be the possibility to change this but we have not looked yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our accountability issues. With an events planning office, there are many little details that need to be in place. If missed there can be larger implications in the flow/quality of our events. Asana is helping us track the small things and hold each other accountable for the completion of tasks that may seem "small" when they really are important.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We do not have the means to purchase the full Asana usage and if that is the case for your company, this is a great free version. Additionally, if you need to share documents with your team (i.e. do not have a shared drive set up already with your team) this is a great tool Asana offers!
Very organized platform.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I could attach documents to assignments. A great feature is being to assign deadlines to said documents as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The notification and alert system for said timelines could be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People aren't getting notified of newly assigned assignments. They have to check their App to see any new happenings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the trial version first to see if it meets your specific needs. I think it is great for small businesses but not for bigger conglomerates.
Great Productivity Tool
What do you like best about the product?
This was a very easy to use project management tool. It allows for reusable templates for projects, and easy tracking of tasks and activities. I love the reoccuring tasks feature. Setting due dates is easy. People can comment on status of projects and activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see an integrated Gantt Chart feature. It would be nice to have clearer display of subtasks and the percent completion of a larger task based on completing subtasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana made it easy to share the work among all of the staff members, and for everyone to see the tasks associated with completing a specific activity or project. It is always up-to-date and it had very little learning curve for even the unsaviest of computer users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is worth trying. It is free for small teams with basic needs, and has many of the features of much higher priced options.
This is great for small businesses looking to share the workload. The reoccuring tasks option takes the guesswork out of ensuring that regular monthly activities, or weekly activities do not get forgotten.

Great Program
What do you like best about the product?
I like how seamlessly Asana created a system that allows individual users to set tasks private to themselves, reach out for help from others/group projects, or contribute to company-wide initiatives. This system has helped me with a great place to keep my reminders and keep track of my personal projects. It has also allowed a level of transparency for the business as a whole as we can all see and keep track of the group or company-wide projects. Works great as a took for conferencing and following up with our teams overseas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a little more customization ability. The program allows the use of color in tasks, but I think they could expand upon this for those of us who are more color/visually oriented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps my team conference with teams overseas, keep track of projects on company or team-wide levels, as well as helping me keep my own weeks running according to plan.
