My Experience using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The task management and assignment in Asana is easy to use. The UI is up date because it is fast and responsive. You can add task and secionts at ease because it is in the dashboard and you won't get lost using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana sadly is not for heavy tasks and event management like others because it is only simple. However if they improve it I would gladly use it again!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana specializes in helping teams manage workflows, and it's the surpassing tool to get the job right.
A very UI friendly and slick design, fluid and semantic. Makes it easy to use what ever the age range of the users. The features above makes this tool a very powerful one for team management and collaborations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a light and up to date design and easy to use web app for your team you should use Asana
One of the best tools to keep your tasks organized
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Asana is that it is pretty easy to start using without much setup. It can cover simple tasks as well as more complicated cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some ambiguity in creating new tasks and filling in the details. Everything gets published right away without having a clear trigger for posting the newly created task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps you keeping track of your daily tasks, especially since you can quickly write down anything that you get asked to not forget about it when you are in the middle of something. Pretty straightforward. Another great thing is that it will keep reminding you of the tasks that you need to do and tasks that are upcoming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana will be a great fit for you if you need to keep a simple task organizer and tracker for any types of general tasks
Very forward-thinking task list management tool for cross-functional teams
What do you like best about the product?
The way you create tasks within lists and combine them into multiple projects, across all the teams involved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mac App would be nice to have and some better visual customizability like Dark mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep tracking of what is needed for which element in our workflow. Great tool to get the team involved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into some of the features they are working on. It will be the tool of the future. Fascinating!
Very Lovely!
What do you like best about the product?
It is great at assigning tasks and keeping accountability high due to tracking the process capabilities of the platform. Excellent for teams that don't work in person. My team is across the ocean and it is pretty difficult to get everyone aligned especially considering the time zones and the ineffectiveness of email communications. Therefore, i would highly recommend anybody who is looking to get more productive with their teams who don't work in person to use Asana. Also, did I mention that it seamlessly integrate with google documents? Yes!! Smooth and amazing :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was a little smarter by somehow knowing what tasks we need to complete a follow-up. Sometimes in the mids of all the tasks and goals that we have set to accomplish - things can get lost. I wish Asana was using some sort of Artificial Intelligence algorithm to get more out of the people who are using the platform - by suggesting things that have been left aside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with a team across the ocean is very difficult. Nothing is more difficult then that - so for us it is extremely important to get aligned and get things done on time.
Great project management tool for teams
What do you like best about the product?
At Boot Camp Digital, we use Asana every day! It was easy to figure out right away, and it didn't take long for my team to start setting up projects and adding tasks. My team has liked the integration with our other tools and the ability to communicate and assign tasks to each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wish there were more of the team functions in the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a virtual office, it's super helpful to know what everyone's working on, what is coming, etc. We don't have to guess or keep checking in on each other, and we can all easily assign each other tasks as needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you like the Discussions feature in Basecamp, this product is going to be a little lacking. It's still a great software though, so finding an alternative might be a good option.
Good collaboration tool for a small group of colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows us to see all the projects that each member of our group is working on and their expected completion dates. The ability to list all tasks related to each project, create a timeline for the completion of each task, and the ultimate outcomes was extremely useful in keeping everyone on task and informed
What do you dislike about the product?
it was a little difficult to navigate each member's list of projects and tasks, and you need to have all notifications turned on to receive assignments outside of the system. This is only necessary if you do not keep the software open at all times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed us to better manage our time and coordinate with each other, as we always have a farily large number of concurrent projects that overlap one another. By having a collaboration tool, we are able to work with each other without as many time conflicts and keep each other on task for the completion of each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for small groups or departments who need better time management and collaboration tools, but don't want to spend a fortune on software. Its been a great help to our team.
Easy to Use but somewhat tedious
What do you like best about the product?
it's very easy to organize your tasks by project or due date or person responsible for the task. You can quickly navigate to a particular set of tasks and see them at a glance without getting too into the weeds.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a long time to get it set up because you have to enter each task in one by one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This reduces the amount of time we have to spend in scheduling meetings as an office. Our boss can assign everyone their tasks and then when we meet we just go over what we've completed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
take the time to set it up right, and then it will be super useful! Just be prepared to spend some time setting it up.
Easy to use in a small team
What do you like best about the product?
Creating task is now easy, we can have projects and create sections to organize everything. The link having this search view which is saving my preferences and creating an automatic saved report, this is extremely useful and saves a lot of time ! I like being able to add customized label and tags, this is more understandable for everyone in the team and we can't find them more easily .
What do you dislike about the product?
We can't add more than one assignee, this could be very useful though... I think you still can improve the UI a bit, as it feels there is not enough space in the screen sometimes with all of these tasks opened ! I think when creating tags and labels there are not enough available colors, we keep reusing the same one every time and it makes it harder to realize which one is which when reading the tasks.
I don't like the fact that we can only have one level of sections and then task, This could be super useful to have other sub-tasks in another font.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my developer team we are following an Agile method and have to create, assign and do tasks each week per sprint. We are then using Asana to do all of this and keep an history of all the things we have done, understand what went wrong etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please add a functionality to add more than one assignee
Best Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing in ASANA is that it is very easy to use. No need to wait to load the open and close subtasks and wait for it to load again. You can just click and you will see all the things you needed. It doesn't slow down the loading time even though the conversation is too long already.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is pricey. The heartbreaking part is when it is very effective to use but the company have to let go using it because we can't afford it as we hire more employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The back and forth. It is because you can see the whole task thread easily. Nobody is being left out. We can pass a task from one shift to another without hassle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They must avail this if they are really having trouble in tracking tasks. It is also surprisingly effective at clients communications too especially to us who deals with Web Design clients. Every discussion is there, any changes is there as well. So, even if you are about to continue the project that was left by another employee, you will not have any trouble at all. You can just accept the task and do it!
Very Interesting Platform for Managing Group Projects
What do you like best about the product?
To me, the user side of Asana mimics facebook, which makes it familiar and intuitive. I like that tasks have threads that you can follow and keep track of who has said what. It has made managing group work very easy for us. The app interface is pretty and I like that!
What do you dislike about the product?
In the app, it can be difficult to navigate around to different tasks (although that might be the way that we have our tasks organized). If I had one suggestion, it would be in the uploading documents. They basically get set as comments, which got confusing when we were uploading multiple edits of the same document. I wish there was some way to see all of the documents that have been uploaded in a different format than the comments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps project organizers stay on top of what everyone is doing. We use Asana as the platform for organizing and reporting back on a local magazine. Asana makes it easy for our editor to see what's been done and what still needs to be done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're managing a project that requires a group of people, Asana is very easy to use and keep all of the different tasks organized (from the administrator's perspective). Some of the older people on our team struggled with the interface, especially if it wasn't their "home" task that they were assigned to. However, I think they were able to learn it easily enough- it just wasn't intuitive enough for them.
