Asana is Awesome
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does an incredible job of providing clear tasks and deadlines to a complex team that covers a multitude of projects. Asana also has a great commenting function, so that everyone in the team can discuss each project, assignment, and subtask. Asana keeps everyone in the loop and moving forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be quite honest, Asana does everything that I could want. The only slight change I would make is to provide even more sorting options and criteria for tasks, people, and projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking all projects to ensure that nothing slips through the cracks. Clear deadlines help assignments get completed on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are struggling to find a software that seamlessly tracks all projects and makes sure everything gets done in a timely manner, then Asana is the product for you.
Intuitive interface
What do you like best about the product?
When you first start using it, you know exactly how to do it. It's very intuitive.It is scalable and is easy to understand. I feel there is nothing much to improve, it is already doing very well. In my previous work place, I used Basecamp for the organizing and assigning tasks. I feel it is very comparable to that. Highly customizable to particular tasks and is reliable. I used Asana for a brief time in Cognizant and introduced it to few seniors and they really loved it. It personally used it for my publishing tasks. we had small team doing lot of tasks which were difficult to manage at times. Being able to add multiple team members to tasks to keep everyone updated on status and responsibilities is awesome! Having the ability to set deadlines and view other team members tasks is a great way to keep everyone accountable to the work we are delivering. I also love that we can share documents and it easily integrates with our time logging software to keep track of our work hours, which is crucial when it comes to billing and related activities. So overall the software is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish updates were in the form of texts (SMS), something like slack + asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's mostly organizing and tracking of tasks assigned
Recommendations to others considering the product:
alerts can be in the form of texts that can be replied to. Like Slack
Okay but takes a while to get up and running
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the calendar functionality and visibility, as it not only presents you with deadlines, but helps you stay on task with what you have planned on doing. It does a good job of allowing for multiple ways of viewing the tasks you are trying to manage and keep up to date with, and the reminders and home view really allow for clear communication on task management.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not the simplest of interfaces and can take time to get situated with the team. Additionally, the tiers of tasks they provide are not extensive enough for our needs. We also operate on more of a scrum/agile method which is much easier implemented with other software that we have found.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana for basic task management for an early stage startup. Given that we are a small company with constantly changing needs, the more rigid nature of Asana is not ideal. However, we are able to better track progress which helps to dictate day to day operations better. We are still not using Asana as our sole project management tool, but have found value in it nonetheless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at all different project management tools and think about how you plan on growing your team and what framework you want to use (i.e. kanban or otherwise) as there are certain tools better equipped for some methodologies while Asana is good in its own way.
Task tracking made simple
What do you like best about the product?
The UI, for sure. I couldn't think of many more ways to reinvent the to-do list - but definitely Asana was able to surprise me in a lot of ways. It's so easy to visualize and understand your tasks in a specific project, as well as see where is your team on their tasks too. The tasks also can store anything you need, from links, comments, picture, items, etc - but to the contrary of other task management tools like Trello and Evernote, this data doesn't get in the way of the main information - great UI and UX!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I think is really missing from Asana is having some tools that can have it used along with Scrum, like having a backlog and being able to separate the tasks by sprints or epics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize our work and improve the team's communication. A place that is easy to great both daily tasks and longer term and bigger scope projects. After making use of Asana we could definitely observe improvement of the team's overall productivity. Now everyone knows exactly what they should be doing (app is great for delegating tasks) and more than that, everyone knows where they should go to understand everything that is going on regarding their projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are afraid that Asana can be overwhelming, don't be. It has a lot of features but it is very simple to use. And more than that, it has integrations with many other tools as well, like Slack and even Google Chrome. It is not only a great tool to be used in teams but also you can use it to track your personal projects too. But if you are considering to use to track your Scrum projects, I think you might need to search for another tool.
Asana- great for task management!
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to hold all of my tasks in one place with due dates in a running list form. It's like a glorified, digital form of a written to-do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how overwhelming it can become. There is the ability to sort tasks by priority and how you would like them to show, but when you have a lot of tasks it seems disorganized and may be easy to overlook a task the way it is set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have realized I don't forget tasks and I am happy when I get to check a task off! It is a good task management tool and also very nice that others connected to your Asana (boss, coworkers, etc.) can assign you tasks as well. It makes task sharing easy and ensures your coworkers will have a record of you asking for help with a product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One thing I would recommend to others considering to use Asana is the use of an entire team on Asana. I think it is a useful tool and can be really beneficial to assign tasks within team members, allowing your boss and coworkers to see what is on your plate, but if not all coworkers are on board with the software, it can become overwhelming for tasks to be coming to you in many different ways. The calendar tab is helpful and can give you a snapshot of your week or month in a sense of due dates and prioritizing tasks.
Simple Informally Formal Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is simple to start with and tough to master. It is very quick-start oriented and is great for teams that need a virtual checklist. The email alerts and digests are a more robust way of dealing with reminders for teams than always using, say Microsoft Outlook. I like the attention and additional features it has continued to get since we started using the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
CSV imports were probably the single biggest thing lacking and oddly just today they send a happy new year email launching the feature. I think the informal nature of the product is both a strength and a weakness. The project/data exports can be a bit chaotic if your usage had you moving things all over in different sequences during the life of a product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving cross-team communication on collaborative projects where responsibilities are shared amongst many parties. We're more visually aware and have a solid data source to look to for various projects and progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider this if you have issues with user adoption. This tool is great for non-technical personnel or when you need something simple that is not a hinderance.
Very interesting to work.
What do you like best about the product?
I'm glad that now I have great tools to communicate and relay info to all group with whom I work. Very easy to do tracking. All my working tools are in place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Good ability of tools. But maybe will be better to add more information about what to do or choose. This can be good for beginners because sometimes cant get what to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very good to control our projects. Very great that we can make a schedule and control our tasks. The product has a good design. I'm glad that my team can work easily and much better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We like to work with that software. I'm sure that you will like it too. Very easy and simple to understand and work. Wonderful tools to use. Also, the software cares about customers and they update their tools all the time.
Great for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the perfect project management software for small teams that don't need the complexity of a JIRA or other overly complex system but have quickly outgrown tracking tasks in Outlook or Excel. Entering a task takes all of 15 seconds. But if you need to you can quickly expand the information around a task by attaching files, creating sub tasks, setting due dates and dependencies, basically all the features you'd expect with a robust project management system without the overly cumbersome screens or requirements. Asana just lets you use what you need for that project or task without forcing a defined workflow on you every time like JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that they took away the ability to track hours from the free version but I understand why. I also don't like that to track estimated hours, actual hours used and task status you have to setup custom fields for everything. It would be nice if they offered some "templates" of standard custom fields out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows my small team to quickly plan out projects and track the tasks needed to complete the project on time for our clients. I love how we don't need dedicated project manager to just manage the project software but can have the developers manage the tasks themselves.
Asana is the best one for me!
What do you like best about the product?
There are a few highlights that make this tool awesome to utilize anyway you can do a great job with this tool, is very helpful in data manipulation.
I can do a request for my colleagues to do a task or I can ask others to join us.
I can provide my comments on the tasks so in this way my team can see the updates on our projects.
I like that the updates are sent in real time

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has positively progressed significantly. I have utilized Asana since 2 years and there may have been a couple of minor problems but I have not found any inconvenience in my projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana takes care of a few issues: remote team-work, a clear list of tasks, and timely updates. Asana has helped our remote groups to cooperate.
This instrument enabled us to share needs and demands without being in the same location
It eliminates the excess of a procedure and causes us jump straight into the work. With Asana the remote work is very simple, it's constantly great to have a synchronized view about my projects and my team is informed about this.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so simple to utilize this program. There are many new components that were not accessible in the past years but now you can try a lot of functions.
Simply concentrate on what you require and there shouldn't be any inconvenience utilizing the application.

Free and quick task management with mobile app support
What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like about this app. First off, it's free, yet so full of features. I've used this for tracking business tasks and even personal tasks like everything that was involved with selling my house. It's nice to assign specific tasks to specific members, and be able to have a conversation on that specific task, along with attachments, follow ups, due dates, sub-tasks, etc. And on top of that, it has a slick mobile app too, so whether you're on your laptop/desktop or on your smartphone, you're good to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything that I dislike. I've seen some complaints around the web that the site is slow or has performance issues, but I've never experienced that on any of the computers or phones I have used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It definitely solves our task management and tracking needs. When a task is done, it is archived for future reference. Makes it easy for us to stay organized on what needs to be done, and what has been done. It just works.
