A very good project management software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface a lot. It is bright, simple, colorful, easy to navigate. It doesn't take long to learn everything about the tool. I also like that it automatically help you prioritize your to-do and it is a fun tool to use within your team, so you can look at what everybody else is doing and easily assign tasks to other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you need to open a webpage to get onto the site. It would be easier if it could also be developed into a desktop app and just have it right open at one click.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Asana for project management. It has been very helpful to manage a team's tasks using the tool, micro tracking the time of each task and clearly see which team members are on which task.
Form your team and organize them
What do you like best about the product?
The calendar is completely interactive, you can almost do everything from there, which is very good for those who have time-sensitive projects, as it creates a very good timeline for you and you can assign and create tasks on the spot within the calendar. Then each task leads to its wall and more, which is fabulous because you can start your session in the calendar and keep everything in mind quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like at all that outside the calendar there are so many options in so many menus, because it forces you to navigate through several menus to find the option you were looking for, in the end you always end up going to the menu because it is the better-made interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an organization, we must organize ourselves and Asana is the perfect program for that, which is why we have chosen it. We used Trello in the past, but it leaves much to be desired, especially regarding the calendar, timeline, and everything related to time, which is vital for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not difficult to use, but I recommend using only the calendar, you have everything there after all.
Asana for Organizing Projects and Team efforts
What do you like best about the product?
I am relatively new to Asana so I have been taking time to build out the foundation and have utilized all of the Asana tools that are available. This has been great, community, help, email and the webinars!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike at this point, but, I will be working to add some of the email links and integrations shortly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed us to keep track in one repository and we can select the way we want to arrange each task. This is a truly helpful feature, because not every project makes logical sense to be laid out in a calendar style or board style. We are now working through all of the different options. The other portion that is helping is the linked efforts and the dependencies as well as assigning tasks accordingly. We currently work with third party vendors that use Jira and Asana, so this is a nice way of collaborating between different and like apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support tools and community articles have been very helpful. I have also sent an email to sales regarding questions and their response time was within 2 hours! They were able to confirm my question and point me in the direction.
Asana keeps us organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for our business as it allows us to organize our tasks and customize it to work for us. We use the tasks for our leads, jobs, upcoming jobs etc. It allows us to work as a team and add info on each client
What do you dislike about the product?
The tasks complete do not always mean a positive thing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of info and communication between employees
Asana: Good Project Management and Team Work App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for small teams. I recently collaborated with another person on a long-term project and used Asana to track action items and progress. You can also have conversations, share files, and track your progress on multiple projects. Action items drag and drop easily so you can rearrange them if something in your project changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface was a little confusing at first. You have to click through different levels of screens to get to where you want to go, and sometimes it can feel like you're in a maze. The general arrangement of information just took me a few days to get used to for some reason. I do wish there was a way to make the whole thing simpler or have less screen hopping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm keeping track of my to-do list, and I'm able to mark off and archive items that I've completed (which I really like). I think it's helped me to see how much progress I'm making. I can also look back at conversations and old documents, which comes in handy when planning for future projects. The ability to tag team members directly and have conversations cuts down on emails, too!
Super Convenient for Keeping Your Team on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I like how we can easily enter notes, attach docs and update status quickly... and keep all members of the team in the loop.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are too many notifications hitting my inbox, but I haven't learned how to turn off email notifications yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need face to face meetings, or calls as much as before, very time efficient way to work!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, but be patient for the 1st few weeks when using it. It will likely take everyone some time to get comfortable, but should be a great addition, well worth the time and effort!
Top-Notch Project Management Tool for Individuals and Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's sleek UI and the features it has for team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana was a more robust PM tool with reporting, budgeting, charts, hours tracking, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration, task management / reminders.
Asana for start ups
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana allows me to integrate it into other programs I use for project management, such as monday.com. I also find the app version to be very user friendly compared to other programs I've used. I also like that the website and the app are comparable to each other, they aren't so different that I become confused. Asana came highly recommended to me from HR friends I have however our team was hesitant to use it at first.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a first time use tutorial. I found it hard to navigate at first and found myself getting frustrated. A simple tutorial would be a great touch to get familiar with it. It would be nice if I could create a contact card that allowed me to put my contact into other than just my email address.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, assigning tasks to team members, being held accountable for the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We hesitated to use Asana at first, I'm not sure why, however after using other programs we realized Asana was actually the better option for our teams needs. I suggest to first try Asana then explore other options because it is likely that you will just stick to it and not feel the need to find something else.
Great collab software for Project Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love that asana is one of my favorite and most modern options for collaborating with my pastor teams the finance team the administrative team TV audio teams in a few of the lay members that come on the team for special global events that we have. I used to use base camp, confluence and do a lot of zoom call so I'm smear with the concept book a sonnet has been the most accurate in the most efficient tool across the different generations and departments that we work with on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes everyone doesn't well gone when I assign a task to them so I have to Skype them or email them anyway. That's not an asana I
Issue as it sends notifications when there's a task assigned or someone else joins the group so they're getting an email confirmation when I ask of something but it's just that it's another medium in which someone doesn't respond if they're not a responsive person.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that we can all review the overall projects and individual tasks for the work we need done. I also love to see who's next in the pipeline or the work flows involved to see
all the moving parts. It helps with perspective and garners more cooperation and collaboration.

Great option for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
If your team is small, this is your tool, you will have all the options you can imagine, reports, tasks assigned in a very simple way, you will be able to control absolutely all your work time and workload, which leads to better productivity for each team member.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's really nothing wrong with Asana, maybe just the initial loading time of the web application, or that it's impossible to organize a very large team well if you don't divide it up a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a very powerful tool for organizing your work team, focusing on tasks and not wasting time, having clear objectives and tracking the work being done. It is the best tool in its sector, no doubt.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great application for small groups, or if large groups can work well when very divided and with one or several people exclusively responsible for moving the work that is being completed from one group to another. If you are a large group, it might be very difficult for you to organize your entire team in Asana.
