Collaborative Task & Project Management Tool for Everyday Use
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is simultaneously easy to use and full-featured. Our small team manages many projects and keeps pace with the help of this indispensable tool. I rely heavily on the calendar view to plan my weeks! I love using recurring tasks to create repeatable workflows.
It is easy on the eyes, has a sharp iPhone app, and allows me to not only manage my own tasks, but to get a company-wide overview. The integrations are very helpful, we use Everhour for time tracking, and Dropbox for file attachments.
We tested many project management tools before choosing Asana. I was a long-time Todoist user who needed more. Other tools were prohibitively expensive, overly complicated, or lacking functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had better reporting. I'd love to reflect weekly or monthly on what I accomplish, especially on a granular, per-project basis. Since so many of the tasks I perform are repeating, it'd be nice to have some ability to reflect on how demanding those workflows are, and how they break down.
I've been using it for a year and still have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not using all the features as effectively as I could be.
I wish it was a little faster.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to invite clients and people outside our team to individual projects for collaboration. They only see what is relevant to their project and can keep an eye on progress.
We have minimized meetings, emails, and the need for other tools. Simplicity!

Great task manager
What do you like best about the product?
Works on the cloud and keeps your task synched fast and easely. Multiplatform, web-based application, works on all your devices - no need to be apple user only, API integration gets lots of workflows automated. Creating tasks by mail is buit-in. Free personal account is great to start using the software. Amazing design makes using the software really pleasant.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mobile app a little unconfortable for adding whole projects with lots of tasks at once, Poor offline capabilities makes you trashed without a internet connection. I prefer one single workspace rather then using the multiple workspace capability - think that I couldn't find a great usage for this feature yet. Great job, ASANA team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a former Omnifocus user (use it for about 6 years. I had a great issue on integrating my workflows with other software. Love Omnifocus, but it's incapability of integration made me look for other alternatives. I use a Windows computer in my job and I couldn't use Omnifocus in it. ASANA is totally online and works on every OS I need (iOs, Mac OS, Windows and Android). I use the software to keep track of all my personal and professional tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's online software. Had bad times using it with poor internet connection somedays.
Yay for Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like how much it keeps me organized with social media posts, as well as all its different features including categories such as captions and graphic. I use this daily with my co-workers and it is easy to assign a task to the other person, while getting notified about it...It's hard to miss a task without seeing a notification in my email. I also love that I am able to use fun features like emoticons. It helps me stay up to date with different ways to view the tasks in the calendar, due date, unfinished tasks, or completed tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the calendar view where it is distinguish whether I am in a new month or not, it scrolls too fast and it confuses me whether I am still in the current month or new month. It would help if there was a way to separate this or get a popup telling you that you are in a new month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving many social media tasks that otherwise get overwhelming and confusing for the multiple accounts our company handles. These benefits help us mentally separate our social media/graphic tasks for each different account.
AMAZING
What do you like best about the product?
I work remote, with my supervisor 800 miles away this program offers itself to project management from a distance. It also allows up to work in larger groups on many projects as well. I also like the ability to customize the way it looks for me and the fun settings that allow you some fan fair when you complete a task. I also like that you can set your status as away
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like is not really a negative. I think it has much more capability than I am fully using, which can be frustrating when you find something new.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again because we can communicate across teams from around the country. While my supervisor is 800 miles away we have staff traveling all over the country and ASANA allows us to all be on the same page no matter where we are.
Irreplaceable
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is one of those products that you didn't think you needed and then can't live without. I helped integrate Asana at one organization and then when moving to a new job, thought that I would try to work without it. Within a week, I was back to Asana. The way that it looks at project management and organizing tasks, assignments, due dates, and projects is intuitive and meaningful. It is the most helpful product to me in getting work prioritized not just done.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new unicorns are awful. That's really all I dislike. I think there are features that could be added but overall it's excellent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anyone can use a post-it note or its technical equivalent to list task. Asana helps me coordinate with others by sharing projects and tasks as well as prioritize work based on importance. I'm also able to help my teammates and direct reports prioritize their work as well as keep up with important deadlines. Everyone is able to see what projects they're involved in and what they need to get done. When I am able to see a teammate overworked, we can juggle tasks to help out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, it's free. See if you can get a small team like a department to get started and then ease into global integration.
Great project managing tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I work on a team of people who are spread throughout the country and in different time zones. We have a lot of projects moving at once, with various people jumping in and out of projects. Asana has allowed us the flexibility to track, organize and share our work and projects reliably and quickly. The program continues to be updated, adding flexibility and stability. Our team really loves the software and would be lost without it. If your company choose to use it I recommending going all in and ditching email. While you will still need email for any outside contact, your company should adopt the program wholly and work solely through it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It's great and the frequent updates are appreciated. I do wish they had a more robust chat system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email sucks. Its slow, limited and not user friendly for the needs of today. Asana gives you the ability to communicate like email but also manage projects, documents and anything else your team might need. It helps see who is doing what and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go all in with your use of Asana and ditch email for internal company use. While you'll need email for communication outside of your company, internally every employee should be committed to using Asana and only Asana for any email related needs.
My Brain's Assistant
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Asana is simply being able to take what is in my head and put it in one place. I don't have to carry around the details or remember to write them down, plus I can access the information on my phone app and my computer. Perfecto!
What do you dislike about the product?
Having just started using it a few weeks ago, we haven't seen anything we don't like yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I work from home in Michigan, and my boss works from coffee shops in Colorado, and the rest of the team works at the office, this has helped us stay connected! With project information all in one place, with the ability to share files, links, photos, comments, all in one location, we are streamlining our communication process to be simple and effortless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it out. You'll love it!
CC asana review
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and manage. A very simple user interface and many integrations for notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't any good dashboards or ways to keep the rest of the team (especially management) aware of the status of all the projects that are going on. There needs to be a way of setting priority on projects or the ability to group them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple project management tracking and prioritizing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not expect it to resolve your project management needs yet.
Very good
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to task out in different categories, being able to see my incomplete tastes in order by due date (I use that feature most). Works well with marketing projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you write a comment, you can't go back and edit it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it very easy to multitask and stay on track of marketing projects, makes it very easy to stay organized. Very efficient system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommended - I like that it's more intuitive and comprehensive than a post-it-note type platform, while also not too out-of-scope and technical for the types of project we put into it. Perfect for in-house teams.
Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use both individually and as a team. The ability to be getting myself organized and also pass information along to the individuals who need it is wonderful. Saves time and gets everyone on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
not sure that i have any dislikes at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Biggest benefit is the win - win of being able to get myself organized with the tasks of a project and also get all need to know information to the appropriate people at the same time - all within the same platform. No stopping and sending emails or adding details to another doc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it!
