Great Tool for Organizatipn and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is attractive and well laid out. It also gives you options for how you want to view your projects. It is also great for assigning tasks when collaborating on a project with a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complaint at the moment is that the program doesn’t interface with my Apple Watch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too many sticky notes on my desk and too many emails about a project between coworkers that are hard to organize effectively. With asana you can communicate about a project in the app, assign tasks, and check in on progress and all that communication is connected to the project.
what about Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a web application that allows me to communicate directly and quickly with the members of the company and create work teams. The application focuses precisely on improving communication among my colleagues by facilitating the organization and planning of tasks for the progress of the project, developers and our tester team maintain a fluid and constant communication to give priority to errors that we can find in the application
What do you dislike about the product?
I could say that the appearance in general, I would like it to be more friendly and appropriate for my eyes. Something more interactive could be. But despite that, the application has made the work more organized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it very easy to coordinate tasks with my teammates, the client can validate the progress of tasks and the project in general and facilitates communication with developers to correct bugs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although the application is easy to use, I recommend that you see a tutorial and use the support to be able to use this tool 100%
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best features of Asana is that the free account allows unlimited tasks and projects for up to 15 people. I have the free account and it is perfect to use for tracking my personal professional or home tasks. It's also extremely easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is more task oriented, if you are looking for project oriented such as tracking budgets, issues, etc., this is not the right software to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love that I am able to create a group and add people to it, this is a great function for simple to-do projects. Both personally and professionally I am able to track my progress (tasks) on what I am working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great, free product available to anyone. If you are looking for an easy to use task tracking software, this is the way to go. You can integrate other products as well, I use the Chrome extension for Asana and I connected my Google Drive.
Better Than Most
What do you like best about the product?
Overall I like the layout and color scheme. I prefer Asana to some of the other alternatives out there. I recommend starting with the free version it's a great way to get familiar with everything and you may find it suits your needs just fine.
Asana has tons of features and can really help you and your team stay on track. I like the project Timeline feature which creates an excellent view of the tasks and team members working on them. Creating and assigning new tasks is a breeze. You can also very quickly tell which team member is supposed to be doing what. Assigning a due date will also send automatic reminders to the team member involved. There are also many different view modes to fit your company's specific needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not as intuitive as some other options. Some team members struggled to navigate their way around the platform. The slack integration doesn't work. It shows all alerts. Wish you could do more complex sorting for projects such as sort by priority and then date. It won't let you do this. The Gantt Chart can be done a little bit better UI wise, it is too big to follow it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making assign tasks and creating projects easier. The way you can divide the project in tasks and create boards with the tasks make it very easy to visualise the entire project, it really helps to project managers and developers to make the communication easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, especially for smaller business, I find it a bit annoying to do scrum tho.
Ideal project management for you!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great things that make you really love working on it. One of those things is the ease of use. You can add as many tasks as you want, edit them, set the dates, scope, and description of the task, among others. On the other hand, you can not only have them individually but you can add several people to the same project through their emails, and in that way allow establish responsibility for the tasks of the project and send information about the task to those responsible for the tasks, noting how the progress of their work has been.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I do not like is that at the beginning it is not so easy to use. This facility is taken with experience, but once you know how to use it is super easy. Another thing that I do not like is the fact that the email you receive about the progress of the tasks has very little information about the task. I think I should have the name of the project and the dates set for it at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
you really learn to be much more organized with your projects, even with personal things that can become much easier if organized by asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it easily. No matter if you are a student or you are the CEO of a company because there you can easily establish a schedule of how things will happen with respect to the project.
Simple but effective adhoc task management, flexible
What do you like best about the product?
When I was first introduced to Kanban a number of years ago, there wasn't any really easy to use software out there that I liked, until I was introduced to Asana. The notifications, project visualizations and overall UI is superb. They also continue to advance the product, some of the newer project management features and the things on the road map are particularly exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
For non technical people who are used to working in email, it can be a difficult learning curve, but if you stick with it (them), they get the hang as soon as the concept clicks for them. I'd like to see more templates made available for starting projects with boards, there are a few good ones now, but there could be so many more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting work tasks, especially adhoc tasks, out of email and into a trackable system so that everyone on the team knows what is done, what is being worked on and what isn't. It makes the whole team more efficient. It also helps with alignment and communications broadly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of boards, I suggest reviewing all the videos they have that explain some of the kanban concepts as well as how different types of people use it. You might also be interested in going to Youtube and searching for how to get the most out of kanban or how to get the most out of Asana. There are a lot of videos and user reviews out there beyond this site and some fantastic guides.
Asana helps me organize projects and make lists
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
Great for productivity - initial learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.
Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.
Asana gets projects done!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to plan out events on the different boards and see what my to do lists are and what needs to get done. I love that I can collaborate with people in real time to see what needs to get done and what has already been completed
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the notifications are good but I am thankful that I can turn them off when they are too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We plan major camp events for 600+ kids so there are lots of logistics involved. With Asana, we are able to prioritize our lists and collaborate together to get everything done. It also makes sure we dont forget anything important or let details slip through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great to plan out events!
