Quick and Clear Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the satisfaction of clicking tasks off, and arranging day-to-day items with big-picture items all in one program. We achieve stronger collaboration by tagging one another and assigning due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are occassionally tech glitches with copying tasks and selecting dates in the program. As a social media marketer, I'm not a fan of the fact that you can't include @TwitterHandles because the software tries to identify someone to tag even if the @ mention is not a user in the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arranging projects and tasks. The software is very helpful for keeping our social media content cadence in order and managing tasks for paid social media programs. I also keep big picture ideas for our social media marketing in Asana boards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When it comes to project management software, I've tried Trello, Smartsheets, and a Google PM software that I can't remember the name of. Asana is my favorite PM software among all of these.
The best tool ever for teams
What do you like best about the product?
How easy is to organize, create different categories, assign tasks, and develop each task with the discussion module. It's THE tool for teams.
- I can assign tasks easily to people, so in that case its really easy to delegate and give responsabilities.
- Uploading media or any kind of files to each task without taking care of the size, and knowing that the rest of the team can easily download/upload files it's gorgeus.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes isn't intuitive enough, and some people at the team don't understand how to do some things. I mean, the learning process can be hard for some people, but it's something easy to solve with few practice and viewing the tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a team from different places, so it's nearly impossible to do meetings all together in one place, so with Asana it's easy to develop all the projects from everywhere, without problems of miscommunication or tasks not getting done because forgeting about them.
Since using Asana we improved or coordination a 100%, seriously

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even if your planning to use Asana for clubs or other group of people, without being a company, go ahead, as the free plan of Asana let you do nearly anything, I mean, I'm using Asana also for a club and it's great all the free options that they give.
For companys with people in different places I think that is a must, as there's no other tool as complex/full of options out there.

Increased Productivity with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana provides a seamless way for my manager to assign tasks and monitor my progress, as well as provide notes for tasks I need to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything that I dislike about Asana. It provides all of the services that I expect it to for a free software, and have been very satisfied thus far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of organizing the workload around the team. It can be hard at times to keep everything you need to get done in order, and Asana provides a seamless way to visualize all of your tasks with their due dates in one place.
The main benefit of Asana is the ability to stay on track and keep all of your tasks in order.

It is well worth a try as it has a free version that can be set up in minutes.
Amazing collaboration tool for companies and freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
Only when I moved to other collaboration and project management systems I realized that Asana was the one for me. My perfect features are multiple editing tasks, many projects, the calendar with details well designed since I have a small laptop screen and the subtasks.
Protip: Use ":" in front of a task to create a project subgroup.

What do you dislike about the product?
The e-mail notification system lacks interest, I can't point exactly where it could be improved but the notifications do not get my attention, maybe the presentation it gets on my inbox causes this effect. Other feature would be multiple task owners, even though I can add followers it's not clear who is the responsible of a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a freelancer who also sells digital goods with my girlfriend, so we have multiple projects and multiple purposes, from having a database of new ideas for a template to when the institutional site is due.
With asana, I track the delivery date, the tasks, the project calendar. And also the whole "company" calendar.

Asana helps me organize web design projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Asana now offers project management tools in both list and tile formats. I personally prefer the list format. It's easy to see our progress at any given time. It also makes it super simple for me to quickly look at a project and see whether we're on track to finish on time and on-budget. Project management for website design projects can be a nightmare, but Asana really has helped me stay on top of my client work, and has helped my sanity!
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana's user interface can be a bit confusing at times. There are so many capabilities, and it can be challenging to discover what formats and configurations will work best for me. I assume after a while longer of experimenting with formats, I'll get a more concrete system down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me avoid overwhlem and disorganization in my largest client projects. I used to use Google spreadsheets for project management, and Asana gives me the same benefits, but with more capabilities. My working speed is much quicker now that I have Asana to automate some of my tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the free version, and give yourself time to adjust to the format. There are also helpful blog articles with suggestions on how to organize projects, along with examples.
Efficient Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I no longer have to worry about people being left off of emails or having to backtrack to find files or information. Everything is organized and displayed in an extremely intuitive way. Things that need to be seen by everyone can be, and things that need to be private can be so as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little I dislike with asana. The main issue I have had actually deals with people using it consistently. Once everyone in your office or on your team buys in, this makes everything so much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me as a graphic designer, the main problems this has solved has to do with communication. I now have one central location for uploading comps and proofs without worry of forgetting to include someone on an email or items getting lost on a busy day. This puts communication all in one place which is extremely helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple people on your team and you want to keep everything organized in one place, this product is for you.
Great for some, good enough for many, not enough for a few.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and device independence. Asana is good on the web, especially with the new workboard view. I've developed tracking for a lot of ideas using the standard card formats. Easy to assign to others in the group and to follow particular tasks. The number of extensions and plugins are impressive and there are many that really extend functionality like the Instagantt and Templana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Right now there seem to be some restrictions in switching between the board and the standard view. It's easy for a lot of things to get lost in the shuffle if you don't have consistent labeling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking of random ideas that come up during a product UAT process. Big benefits from the ability to add things on the fly and move them around.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software is pretty flexible almost to the point of allowing too much freedom. One suggestion is to examine the training materials and see how others manage processes similar to your own. I wish I had paid more attention in the beginning as my workflow implementation is complicated and could have been smoother.
Love it, easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for my personal projects for a while, and then I introduced it to the office. I've sent the information on it to about half a dozen people, and the two teams I manage use it daily now. It's a great way for us to really collaborate and the My Tasks screen is a fantastic way for me to really get an "at a glance" view of my daily to-dos :)
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love it if there was a group chat function that was global for the team, rather than just the commenting element in each project individually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communications between team members on where we're at with a project have gotten so much better, and it's much easier for us all to just log in to the dashboard and see where things were left off at. It's been wonderful, because with so many moving parts, and the ability to add comments and files to the tasks makes it very easy and straightforward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a clean, user-friendly system with a lot of options for customization. If you're considering it against any other project management systems, I'd highly recommend just playing with a demo or a trial of Asana. It's quick and easy to learn, and there's no harm in giving it a go!
Asana saved my team's projects
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana allows my dispersed/always on the go team to keep on top of projects - ask questions, reassign tasks, add tasks, etc. - all in one easy place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the list of my tasks + tasks I've assigned to others could be side by side - I want to track the status of everything outstanding that I've assigned people, just as much as I want to track what I've been assigned! Maybe this is a thing already - would be awesome to know about if so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining projects both within my team and across teams without tasks and goals getting lost. It helps us make sure that every detail is assigned and accounted for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to keep yourself organized, but even better to keep teams organized.
