Asana_ Good, not great
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is in one place and in a linear fashion. This helps keep agendas on track and easy to follow along with the many tasks included in projects. You can also follow the conversations that go along with those tasks easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very difficult to figure out how to add tasks and details to an already existing task. It is not intuitive where to click to see details about a task or a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to keep a large group of people involved and informed on the various projects we are all working on at once. We also use it to set meeting agendas and prioritize tasks/projects.
Specially designed to keep track of your tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use, economical and very powerful. Each time they update it, expanding new features and integrations. It plans the projects and allows to establish priorities and deadlines, it also has an excellent follow-up control and allows to know how the work progresses and guides everything to the same objectives.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need custom calendars that can be linked to specific tasks. It lacks Gantt diagrams to be able to diagram the activities and be easy to understand among the collaborators. It has a great learning curve and therefore it is possible to get lost among the large number of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a powerful project management software based on the web and it is a huge advantage since we can access the progress of our projects from any device. In a company it is of vital importance and Asana is perfect. It allows configuring project managers and these in turn can create users as required. It is simply excellent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a very simple and efficient user interface that facilitates the visualization of all jobs in one place.
Asana for Creatives
What do you like best about the product?
Above all, I love the ease at which I can see what my entire team is working on at any given time. It gives me the ability to look at the overall workflow and reassign / juggle what anyone is working on to better help the team work through all of our busy times. For personal use it is really great to be able to see what my timelines / week looks like so I can plan accordingly. Plus when you complete a task it gives you some cool graphics as a congrats, not super helpful, but fun non the less.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a lot of great features, but I do not love the navigation on the left portion of the site. IT makes it a little challenging to find what you need when you have a lot of different teams. However, you don't really need to use it if you are just trying to find one person or project, just use the search bar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I now know where any project is at any given time. It has really given me a birds eye view of everything that is going on.
So good—and so free!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for over a year for both my business as a solopreneur and my personal tasks. I even use it with my interns. It's a terrific tool for project management, and everyone that I introduce it to can't believe it's free! I even heard a millionaire once mention that she and her small team use the free version. So, it works for a small startup like mine as well as some of the big guys. So easy to use and great options. I strongly prefer it over other tools like Trello and Basecamp.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would remember how I like my tasks sorted for my board. And I wish my interns boards looked exactly like mine. Not sure why they don't. Those aren't a big deal at all, just picky things that I noticed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for myself as well as managing interns. It's a super easy way to outline projects, tasks, and subtasks. And very easy to change due dates or details when needed. And I certainly love checking something off my list and seeing it disappear! :)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! I love it, and have suggested it to many others!
Effective OKR with Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use along with necessary features you'd want with any project management tool. Calendar view, adding teams, separating projects, keeping people accountable, and so forth. It has many features without getting too cluttered at initial view.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult at times to keep track of information. Their search isn't that user-friendly (at least for me) and nested threads is almost a sin.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of progress on projects as well as holding team members accountable for tasks. It's quick and easy to send somebody a task, setting a date, and following-up with any information on that task. It's almost like an extension/replacement for email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mainly recommended for teams. For an individual, it could be too many features in order to get any real benefit from it—you're better off with single-purpose task management apps. Having a team validates the price tag as well since you recoup that fast in the hours and progress you make with it.
A viable collaborative task management system
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for the system to send email notifications is very helpful in staying on top of assigned tasks as I tend to check my email more than I check the Asana dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the number of different Teams and projects grows, it can become difficult to track all the various facets and tasks and to see how they are all related. It would be nice to be able to apply a very clear priority setting to tasks with associated notification alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company has multiple different departments with their own goals, projects, and agendas. Asana helps keep everything organized and prioritized correctly across the board and helps to ensure that things do not get left behind.
A must-have project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The first thing that I immediately liked on Asana was the look and feel. It is clean and the ability to customize it makes it even more appealing.
The philosophy behind it is straightforward and very easy to understand.
Team and projects are the heart of the system. On each project, there are tasks and subtasks. That allows teams to organize and break down each project into multiple sections.
Features such are templates, tagging and easy assignment as well as timeline offer a great set of tools that help the overall process.
Also, addons like Everhour (time tracking) provide additional functionality to the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana lucks the ability to have a full view of an employee across all projects that he/she is involved. This is something that will be added in the near future though.
Also, I would love to see more options that resemble Jira - like sprints for example.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is the single PM tool that we use internally and externally with clients. This way we have a single point of reference for all our communication and project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an amazing tool that can be used to track the activities of an entire company to a single place. The toolset is extremely easy to use and add-ons provide even more functionality to the product. We removed all other tools (Podio, Basecamp) from our toolset and now we use Asana internally and externally.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to share lists for projects between team members. It makes it easier to keep track of what needs to be done for each project in an organized fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the calendar view. It cuts of task due dates if there are so many in a day. It also won't allow me to select a specific month or date range to view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure that everything gets done. It has made the office more aware of just how much work everything entails, so coworkers are more focused on finishing each task at hand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to use if you don't need a calendar view. Helps keep projects organized and on track.
Awesome task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create task lists for different projects and set clear due dates that are easy to keep track of.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no option to set photo covers for tasks and that I cannot assign a task to more than one person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, delegating tasks to my team was a difficult mission and often times people would have to jot down projects and other things I ask them to do. Now, I can just create tasks and assign them to the necessary person and when they are complete, they just assign the task back to me and I can be notified and take a look. It is super beneficial that I can organize everything that needs to get done into separate project tabs and then create sub groups of smaller tasks that need to be done within that project. It is very convenient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Asana to any one who is working on a project in which organization and due dates are important. It is even great for personal use because it will help you keep track of what needs to get done and which items are a priority. You can leave notes in each task so that you don't forget a thing.
Track your projects and optimize delivery times
What do you like best about the product?
It is an incredible platform to collaborate as a team, you can add projects and track them to optimize the work, you can give different activities to each member and also have direct contact with the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its price is not very accessible if you have a very large computer, it also costs a bit to adapt to its interface, since it is a little more different from the other similar platforms, however, it is worth trying as it has many features that could help to your team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved the problem, in terms of distribution of activities in the team and to maintain a better communication with the members.
