Office Communication
What do you like best about the product?
Once our office fully bought into using Asana we were able to reduce the amount of inter-office emails. This helped declutter my inbox by removing inter-office communication. Now my inbox is much more easy to navigate, and only includes communication with individuals outside of my office.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overwhelming when you begin to use it until you get the setup that meets your requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to communicate within our own office, but also to communicate with our Franchise owner. Using this software to communicate with our entire company has eliminated hundreds of emails from my inbox. I can now easily navigate my inbox for important messages without having to wade through countless emails and memos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This will drastically help improve and streamline your office communication, and remove the strain on emails.
I threw away my notepad. Great product. The Free version is excellent
What do you like best about the product?
I "test-drove" several project management tools before I settled on ASANA. That's how I start my work dark day now: I open up an ASANA tab, have a look at my daily tasks and go about my business. I have job responsibilities with 5 distinct teams. I love how you can create teams, projects and then all kinds of lists. The experience is seamless across both my Mac and iPhone.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is quite complex and it takes a while to learn how to properly use all it's features. I made some work-arounds to better suit my work style and it's doing its job well now.
I would love to have Siri integration to allow for easy additions similar with the native IOS Reminders app.
I wish there were a way to gradually get people who are dead set in their ways to adopt ASANA. For many, the complexity of the tool is quite intimidating.

This is a great project management tool. If you have numerous individuals that you are partnering with on several projects... and new tasks come up day by day, then this is a great tool for you! ASANA is what I use for taking notes during meetings, no more pen and paper!! YESS!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it some time. You need to use it for a couple weeks and then it becomes second nature. Your and your teams productivity will increase tremendously if you get all the team members to use the same tool, namely, ASANA. Ideally, you would want management to make the product mandatory for all to use.
It's amazing and makes my work and life so much easier
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to check off all of my work and feel accomplished at the end of the day. I also love how you can organize everything in projects and subheaders to stay even more organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The iphone and ipad version need some serious improvements!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now complete marketing campaigns and events with ease. Our marketing team is brought together with Asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you will love it!
Great Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
It's ability to keep our team on one page and prioritize the work we're getting done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding tasks can be challenging sometimes. Also highlighting things that are new since the last time I've viewed a task would be helpful. The inbox is good but having new content highlighted without having to view it through the inbox would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everyone in sync. We use Asana for projects, bug tracking, new development. User stories, customer requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Discuss how your going to use it before jumping in. Also consider turning off email notifications and use Asana as your team inbox
Great product management software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, free platform for project management. I've used it for several different organizations on multiple projects. I like that it tracks my projects and makes it easy to manage what my teammates are working on and where they're at on their projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is heavy on email notifications to start. The plethora of email messages can turn off new users who dislike the over-notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the need to track and manage multiple concurrent projects with multiple team members and cross-functional roles. I wear multiple hats in multiple organizations. Asana helps me keep track of numerous projects across those organizations to make sure I'm tracking project status and to-do lists.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A little verbose to set up, but overall you'll find it an efficient and effective tool to manage your projects.
Central location for teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love that this allows my team to have a central location for team notes, meeting minutes, and to keep us all organized and on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I don't like about this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem was that our teams were losing important information. This has helped us get everything back on track and reorganized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not have any other recommendations.
I use Asana more every day!
What do you like best about the product?
There are many features about Asana that I like, so it's hard to choose one that I like "best.' If I had to pick one, though, I think it would be the way they celebrate accomplishing projects. It's silly really, but I work hard all day long and check things off just so I can get that unicorn to fly across my screen!
Aside from that gamification, I like that Asana is easy to use. I can track whole projects and make each project into smaller steps. I can see at a glance if I am on track, and I can see how my team mates are doing. I can even get my less "tech savvy" team mates to use it because to them, they use it as a ToDo List.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. No I mean it--the more I learn about Asana, the more I use it and the more I like it. I have yet to run into a feature it didn't have, and if I have a question, they are responsive and friendly. Honestly I can't think of anything I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is virtual and we happen to live on opposite coasts. We have one person managing marketing, another managing programs, another managing membership, and all three need to use the email software, but with Asana, we can tell who is supposed to be sending out an email today, tomorrow, etc. and coordinate the best time to send something out rather than just guessing.
But as a department manager, for me Asana is invaluable for both managing my team and for being able to see my Directors' progresses and give them extra assistance where they need it. Usually it makes me look like a superstar because I can anticipate their needs based on where they are "getting stuck."

Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It keeps me organized and there is no limit to the number of projects and tasks I can create. I am able to assign tasks directly in Asana to my team of interns, and add followers to tasks to keep an eye on the status.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features aren't the most intuitive (like how to add a 'Section' to a project - you have to hover over the 'Add Task' button to get this option to appear) and sometimes I get a message that my task is taking longer than expected to create when all I am doing is copying an existing task. That can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration, time management and organization!
Worth the Effort? Depends
What do you like best about the product?
great UI and UE, has all the features i need and integrates well with other software programs
What do you dislike about the product?
depending on the actual task, often times asana isn't needed. i only use asana for larger projects (rare) or for things I know i won't be able to get to right away or the same day (somewhat rare). so rather than just use a post-it and pen, it often isnt worth all the clicks and typing for me
