An excellent project management tool for home and work
What do you like best about the product?
Versatility, delightful in UX, templates
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerts, tons of emails. Unsure on fixing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of them? Goodness, Asana was a new tool for me when i entered my org and had never seen anything like it. While it was a sharp learning curve, it turned out to be indispensable as a tool and now necessary as part of my work process. My partner and I have even started using it at home to track chores and accountability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Those alerts drive me bonkers and they end up being hard to manage and track. I would love desktop push notifications but my boss asks me to use Slack to send files else she gets an email with every file i upload. Maybe change it to an email when something's been uploaded to a task per day?
ASANA Is The Software for any OCD Persons Organizational Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can create different sections for work, personal, and other focuses in my life, then add tasks to those sections but I can see all my daily tasks in one simple to real place!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the app for Apple Products. But other than that, everything seems to be great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to organize any and all tasks and assign them out. People can leave a meeting and know exactly what to do and we can all execute perfectly!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are so many products out there that do a lot of the same things as ASANA, but nothing has it all in one place like they do here! Its all in one place, so easy to use, you can have a huge organization or a small simple one and it will be just as beneficial to each!
Activity Tracking for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to create custom fields and tags etc. that are unique to our team really set this task manager above others. In addition to that, the calendar view for particular tags helps us keep track of everyone's day, and everyone knows what everyone else is working on. This feature alone is the number one feature in our opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the UI.. I wish things were a bit more customizable and I wish I could fit more on my screen at once, possibly from different projects etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me personally to really optimize some of my workflows. It's no longer a question of what I need to do next, I just speed my way through the checklist and I am good to go! It has also helped us tremendously as a team, to assign tasks to others and even generate discussion about what to do next within a particular project.
I love how it keeps me and my team organized and helps us stay on track with other teams.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how detailed I can get in my projects and tasks. Love that I can create templates as I use them constantly for replicating similar projects. Reminders and recurring tasks are awesome. Honestly, as a project manager, I'm literally in Asana all day everyday and am so thankful that it keeps me organized and on-track with everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that I had some tips or tricks for organizing things a little more. One of the other teams I work with has a LOT of team members and would like to be able to see all project details at a glance, but they have a hard time using the project description because they're usually viewing from a task level, not a project level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are coordinating about 10 projects per month with lead gen, creative, and development teams and are finding that we have the deliverables we need on time and aren't missing due dates. We also are able to hold people accountable for their work and timelines and keep everything organized and in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help keep your teams organized and help you stick to deadlines. I love how easy it is to communicate between teams, assign tasks to specific people, follow-up on past tasks with reminders, and set recurring tasks for things that you do regularly. Make sure to check out tutorials or chat with the Asana support team so that you can familiarize yourself with the interface to get the most out of all the features.
It's very organized and efficient.
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part is you can add and take away followers from a project or task, and it keeps your tasks private until you make them public. I like that it's really easy to organize by priority and by date. I like that it says the date until the week of and then says Monday, Tuesday, etc. It really helps me see what I have to do that week and when to not schedule other projects
What do you dislike about the product?
I think what I dislike about Asana is the inbox. I think it's not organized enough and a little all over the place. I think that the calendar should reflect your tasks and the projects that you follow, and maybe stick it in the My Tasks tab. I think the app could really improve because it's much harder than the online version, please make it the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think, with how busy Friendemic is with all it's customers, this helps keep all the clients organized and everything you have to do can be a task. I think we would be a pretty big mess without Asana. My supervisor can see what I'm doing and when something I have to do is due. I like that I can assign and assign a task to anyone that is at Friendemic, it makes for really smooth working.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a big workload and need to be in communication with everyone's assignments in your workplace, then switch to Asana
A clean and maintained task maintainer tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tagging task,assigning to other team mates.The most amazing feature is creating a sub-task.We can create a task and divide into further tasks and assign it and when all sub-tasks gets complete the task is also completed.
Another amazing feature is Dashboard.You can track your task/tasks,how many you completed and how many are remaining.Asana even send emails if there are due tasks.You can even prioritize your tasks based on tags.You can rearrange your tasks based on project situation(new,progress,review,done).We can even create a new conversion or discussions for particular topic.There is also a way to review your completed tasks in the calendar feature where you can see task detail for particular day.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it lags while loading the tagged links.Some great features are restristed to premium version and can be used only by those users.The most annoying thing is someone else can mark as complete the task even though you are the one that worked on it.Also there is a lack of support of office apps such as slack or google drive which our company mostly work on.
There are misleading text on the subtext in bottom such as User marked today.But it was marked 1 year ago.
Files tab is a bit clunky as there is no search option for files or arranging according to type.

We at Hashcube develop casual games for android,ios and facebook platforms.We have more than 2 million users for our hit game sudoku quest which is growing each day.It makes tasks review very easy.Anyone can assign a task to anyone and other can see what they are working on.The feature that is most useful us is project status.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can take the most out of asana by adding followers to the project/task.Add project/s to the dashboard to track whether the project is heading in right direction or not.Clarify doubt using discussions.Tag team-mates to get better response.
Asana for Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana helps to keep my workflow in check, while keeping me in the loop about due dates, and the status of my projects. We never have to worry about missing due dates or updates to mission critical projects. Having the ability to access the Asana app from our mobile devices allows work to continue even while being in the field.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is the sorting and searching functions. They could be a little more refined, but not a deal breaker by any means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the constant issue of employees loosing track of their projects, and managers who are left in the dark when projects have issues or make substantial progress. We are also solving the issue of collaboration for complex projects. We can take the input of all associated parties and combine our resources to make effective business decisions and keep everyone up to date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great platform for workflow management for businesses of any size. When your entire team comes on board with using Asana, you will see an increase in productivity, speed of project implementation, and work efficiency through all departments.
Takes the worry out of remembering tasks
What do you like best about the product?
All of my life in the corporate/business world, the excuse of "it fell through the cracks" or "I completely forgot about that" or "Sorry, I missed that email" have been valid excuses for failure to complete tasks. In some corporate places, people seem to get a pass with these excuses and it leaves project managers like me with not wanting to blame anyone but also being held responsible for the project.
With Asana, things don't fall through the cracks. There are no missed emails. The projects can be duplicated so that the process is the same for every single project. This is a no-excuses approach to doing business and I love it. It also takes confusion out of task management in a project because there are so many ways to send coworkers messages and requests--in person, in email, on the phone, or in chat. As a project manager, to be able to say "Send me an Asana task" takes away the stress of trying to remember who asked you what and when.

What do you dislike about the product?
I tend to run across a lot of technical issues on a daily basis. For example, I will complete a task and it will continue to show up on my dashboard and I'm not sure why. It feels a little "buggy" to me but that might be user error!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a detail-oriented person but maintenance is not my strong suite. Having Asana takes the stress out of remembering those maintenance tasks which is so crucial to my business. I've already recommended it to two other companies as well!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even if you're computer savvy, watch all of the instructional videos first! I wish I did that. I probably wouldn't have had so many technical errors.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Very Useful
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can organize my weeks, all with using one helpful tool. Whether I think of something I need to complete or any of my co-workers, we can just add a quick task. The fact that in each task you can put the description and add other sub tasks that relate to what you are trying to do is awesome.
It really allows me to stay on top of things without trying to remember every little detail.
I also like putting my updates about the project in the comment sections, so my teammates can take a look to see where I am with something. The email reminders everyday is pretty cool too, just in case I forget to login and check.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can honestly say I haven't found something I don't like. Overall this app/website is very useful and user friendly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whether my company has a project we or I need to work on, we automatically go to Asana.
So I am able to come up with a solution to any issues by corresponding with my colleagues about the topic/issue via this website without it disrupting the work day.
My boss also assigned all my onboarding things I needed to get accomplished to get more familiar with the company, when I first started. It was hands down unlike any other thing I have seen at previous jobs. It really allowed me to know which direction I was heading and how to get there.

DO IT! It will seriously keep you organized and on top of all your tasks. I have already recommended this website/app to others. I love it and don't know where I would right now without it.
