Needs more bigger picture tools
What do you like best about the product?
I very much like the Dashboard feature and being able to pull that data into Sheets. I like being able to integrate other apps with Asana and email tasks and conversations directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more big-picture tools. I'd like to be able to see a list of all my team's projects and see/manage some things like archiving and project due dates from that list. I'd appreciate being able to see more information about tasks in certain sections/columns. Even something like Section Title: (12 tasks, 4 completed) would be helpful. I'm looking forward to being able to switch layouts back and forth between lists and columns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us get better at all aspects of project documentation including billing. The Harvest integration is super important to us and making it possible to see where we need to improve or reevaluate our systems and process. It's helping us move projects forward more quickly by getting tasks and info out of email inboxes and to teammates which helps us make our deadlines.
Asana has made my life so much easier!
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use, how simple it is to assign tasks to someone and keep track of what's going on. It's brilliant!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to add tasks to specific time slots in a day to organise my calendar. This would help not having to use outlook to manage my calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of organisation on projects. Asana just makes it easier by giving me the confidence to not overthink my tasks. They're all logged in there, therefore I don't have to think about them. But I also know that I won't forget anything.
It has also helped improve the logging of external queries, helping keep track of what's going on and the progress made on them.
The other brilliant thing I decided to use it for, is for the logging of new newsletter subscribes, as it has the option to export to CSV it makes it so much easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a software that is able to manage teams effectively - this is it. It works extremely well, it's fast and easy to run and it does everything you need.
Boss task management for a team of one.
What do you like best about the product?
I can organize all my many to-dos as tasks, sub-tasks, and sub-sub-tasks for easy navigation, and get a clean to-do list ranked by due date to help me figure out what to do next.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have never been able to get others to use it along with me, which is not Asana's fault, but a hazard of being a small business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing many overlapping projects and deadlines with a clear, ranked to-do list, and searchability for all my tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product can scale up, whether you are a team of one like me or robust business with multiple departments, and they are always introducing new and useful features (that I often don't get to access since I'm on the free plan, but that's ok with me.)
Mastering Tasks Like a Pro
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana allows subtasks for a major task. It helps you break down each component of a task to keep you on track with a workflow. Asana has features like assigning a time when a task is due.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the only thing I dislike is not being able to enjoy the animation when you click off a task. The animation tends to appear in the background and not layers on the front part of your screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping organized on track with tasks. Having dates and time when tasks are done and having a master list of my tasks to keep me on track. I use it even for personal uses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free version. Can not go wrong with trying it out. Excellent free version to try.
The best project management tool ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Where to start...I love everything about Asana! But I think the best part is how easy it is to use. Plus the user interface is easy on the eye ;) I also love the little animations every time I complete a task!! I've recommended this product to my husband and they've started using Asana for a month now and love it too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the fact that I couldn't put in start dates for a project but I see that it is now available in Premium :) Also don't like that you have to put a task into a project to be able to see it in the calendar view. Not sure if this has changed with all the upgrades...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, there were projects that would get forgotten until the last minute, because the info was buried somewhere in my email inbox. We didn't know what projects the rest of the team was working on or how far along they were so if a team member was away from work and a client contacted us to find out we couldn't actually give any feedback. Now we have easy access to what everyone is working on, we know exactly what's outstanding on each project. Information for each project is stored in one place, so no more trying to wade through emails!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it...and you'll wonder how you ever survived without it!
Make your work easy
What do you like best about the product?
Its really great, easy to understand how to use it, and make my work much easier. Also is great because of asana work is much better organized, and you can see not all of your work, but also your colleague work which is great for teamwork.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is really great, im happy to use it. Only one stuff is problem, and that is that i cant reach asana on my mobile phone. - update - now i have asana on my phone too :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- you have all written in one place
- better organization
- easy view of all work
- easy to track daily tasks

try, and you will ask yourself how you work every day without asana :)
Clean and easy project management system
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to visualize my tasks and separate them. I love the calendar mode and how easy it is to visualize my schedule. I also love the ways to really personalize it, such as with recurring tasks, subtasks, attachments, comments. It's a pretty amazing system!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better system for subcategories or sections within a project. Such as being able to move sections around within a project or something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay on track with all sorts of projects without getting overwhelmed. It's also a great way to quickly see what's on my plate each day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy way to stay on task, Asana is without a doubt the best tool for it. Project management is already hard enough for people, so making it simple makes it easier to execute! It's great for individual work, but also client wok too!
Best project/task management software I've used
What do you like best about the product?
The integration between Asana and Instagantt. It makes resourcing for multiple projects a breeze. Fantastic integration with instagantt and Harvest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited permissions, that any user can mark complete and edit dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team schedule planning and progress tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A very easy to use and flexible task/project management tool. It has great integrations with other useful software.
Awesome Dashboard and very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I love the calendar view to see your project and tasks by their due date. Asana also has other ways to view including lists and columns (used like sticky notes). You can easily assign different users to tasks and set due dates. I love how you can keep track of project conversations or add notes/comments to individual tasks. This makes it easy for me to leave feedback or helpful bits of information for my team members. Asana also has a great feature to add files or attachments to a project - I don't believe that it has a version control feature, yet, however, its nice to be able to associate something (like a template) with a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could assign more than one user to a task - as sometimes i've come across something that is a collaborative effort. I would really make sure to check you email notification settings because it can get spammy very quickly if you have a lot of project updates. Other than that there's nothing that I strongly dislike about Asana, I think it's a really great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses the calendar to plan our monthly social media content and it is amazing for collaboration. We are able to pull in new company groups (such as human resources) to help share content and make sure that we don't overlap on dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is amazing for team project management or even for just organizing/scheduling your own workload. The interface is super easy to use and understand and I've had multiple team members say they use it to organize their own tasks, even if they're not involved in a team project using Asana.
It has vastly improved the flow of communication for our team
What do you like best about the product?
being able to assign tasks to various members. This allows you to give them a physical list of what they are responsible for instead of there being confusion over who is doing what, as well as a visual reminder in there to do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
That subtasks do not automatically disappear when completed the way tasks do. It can get very cluttered very quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open and constant communication between teams that are spread over multiple locations. We can all be in the loop with what is going on in one place, as opposed to a bunch of emails sprinkled throughout our inbox. All of the related information on an issue is in one spot, in writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first using, I highly recommend a team training on using the software so that everyone is on the same page. It will be very intuitive for some people, but others will struggle and will need some guidance. So long as everyone understands how to use it, and you make allowance for a few weeks to learn efficiency, this software is amazing. I love being able to work from my phone, and their mobile app allows me to do that easily.
