What do you like best about the product?
Easy to break down tasks into components and assign them. Features for personal management alongside the holistic team picture. Cuts down on meetings and emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only works if everyone keeps up with it and breaks down tasks in similar ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to understand where other team members are at and set priorities without email or in-person check ins.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Front load time to make sure you're set up well and comprehensively and that all team members are using the software in the same way. From there it's a great tool!
Great Task / Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps all members of the team stay connected, on track, and on target. It also has a very nice integrated feature with Instagantt for those project managers that like to use Gantt charts to keep their team focused on common goals, identify critical path items, bottlenecks, and capacities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better way to notify everyone of their tasks other than a push notification or an email. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the accountability still needs to be handled from without.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using, the team was disjointed and following shiny object syndrome. Now, we have a plan in place that everyone can follow. It also provides more transparency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help with task management and some of the accountability, but overall project management and oversight will be up to the users and leaders in the organization.
1 man Asana team
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to organize my thoughts and plans in a clear fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options on how to visualize your tasks. Right now theres only the board view or list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a project management organizer. The rest of my team doesn't use it, but I use it to track things on the back end and visualize and time out events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I want more options on how to visualize tasks in Asana. Right now there's only the board view or list view. I would want something like a task tree where you can easily link and see how one tasks depends on 3 others and each of those on 3 other tasks, etc.
Asana keeps remote teams on-track
What do you like best about the product?
Calendar of tasks with color codes! Ability to create multiple projects and assign tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can’t think of anything I dislike about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with several contractors on the opposite coast, so Asana solves “after hours” communication
Asana is great to keep projects organized, but not that user-friendly in my experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can create tasks and projects for certain teams. This is helpful for us since we can give our Product and Dev team deadlines and prioritize tasks. I am not a current user anymore since I am not the in the team that handles asana anymore, but that is what I really liked about it. It is still very useful for use as we now log tasks for our Product team to get detailed information about our product -- that way we can add it to our wiki.
What do you dislike about the product?
Looks good, but it is still not that user-friendly. Especially on comments. When I first started using it, it was a bit hard to locate where exactly I should place my comment. Another example is that I would get an email saying that a colleague commented on a task, so I logged in and could not easily find it. Like there's no notification whatsoever or easy link access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep our Product and Dev team organized with their projects/tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
great software, not sure if they have any competitors but I suggest looking to see what other options you have. Or request a trial first to see if it's easy to use for your users.

I have not yet encountered something I dislike in Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the Best Apps in our Business.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has overhauled the way our business works. We have complete transparency across our entire team on every single task or project we need to manage. Each Team Member begins their day by opening Asana Whether it be our daily lunch orders or the management of our entire client base and their many jobs, this system is indispensable. Asana has given us the tools to allow a significant reduction in email and provides a complete work history. Every action, comment, mention or file relating to a task or project is documented and accessible via the powerful search feature. Asana makes getting stuff done easier. It has increased our capacity and it has helped our accounting firm become 100% cloud first.
What do you dislike about the product?
We can have many tasks categorized under one , rather than making a new task for every new employee , even when the task is same. I would like to see more pricing options in asana according to team size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are getting our deadlines meet by Asana and assigning tasks to employees keeping a track of them. We also have prioritised the tasks with it's help to get know what we need first and what can wait. We are achieving a responsible behavior in employees with Asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sometimes the ipad app crashes and has to be restarted. That's the only downfall that I've had using it
Good tool for task management
What do you like best about the product?
Extensive options for creating and managing both personal and team tasks, with a specific chat for each one. Tasks can be created via email and receive notifications through the same medium, if desired, about updates on them. It includes the possibility of incorporating different views of the tasks, such as personal lists, by subtasks, kanban, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit complicated to manage at first, if you have the role to perform those functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task schedule management, many of which are shared by several team members. It facilitates maintaining that task list and communication with the rest of the team involved in them.
Asana - Simple yet Robust
What do you like best about the product?
One thing I love about Asana is the ability to create both boards and outline-oriented list views for tasks and projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana had more features for burn-down charts, budgeting, hours-tracking, Gantt views, and reporting. (To be fair, I only use the free version, so I'm not sure what's available in Premium.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use Asana for my personal to-do lists, though I have also used it with teams. I love having a place to organize all my data visually with deadlines and assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with it. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it's an amazing product! Watch tutorials to fully leverage its available features!
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to colaborate team projects with coworkers not centrally located.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing it was easy to use. Straightforward easy to comment on tasks to show updates
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All teamwork projects. Especially helpful during transitions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works nice for team collaboration, I personally like it because I am not in the same location as my co-workers. I am able to view the what projects other members of my team are working on, so that we can share insights.
