Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana allows me to organize my tasks, and make it more productive overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have had issues when it comes to the notifications I get in my emails, in that, I don't get them some of the times, which then causes some scheduling problems. But it's not really common however I should say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My advisor uses Asana very often to organize his students' tasks and keep track of who's doing what, which is also helpful for us, his students, to know what we should be working on.
I used Asana for Creative Team management
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to mark projects as they progressed along the pipeline. It was also really easy to utilize dropbox, Google drive and other apps with Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I forgot to amend deadlines, and I always felt like there should have been more pop-ups reminding you to do key items based on user actions and clicks. Also, emails show up really strangely...and out of order.

How to connect with graphic design team that is off site
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to change your deadlines and update things as you go along.
Easy to Use & Great Integrations!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use with Asana and dashboard features. Building out a task down many levels is easy, and the visual of the project makes everything easier to communicate. I like the comments feature and how I get notifications when team members comment on projects or tasks I'm included on or responsible for. The different ways to display tasks makes it easier to manage my own workload and time.
The mobile app is so easy to use and looks and works just like the website! I absolutely love the app. I get notifications on my phone screen about comments on projects and it really helps me keep up-to-date on everything going on for a project.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you can't set up project and task templates in an easy manner in the version we use. Instead I have to create a project ortask and leave it unused and just copy that project or task each time. In the beginning I had to go in and update my email communications because I would get an email everytime anyone changed anything at all on the project I was working on and it would get overwhelming and my inbox would be swamped. Since updating my settings to reflect that I want less emails, there haven't been problems.
Also, while Asana is great for cross-team project collaboration and planning, it doesn't have the best individual task management system or to-do lists that are easy to see and keep up with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana really helped with the management of work we have. My company I work for works completely remotely and before we implemented Asana it was very difficult to keep track of everyone's responsibilities and deadlines. Asana helps us complete our projects more efficiently and always on time.
I'm a contractor for my company and I have to keep track of my work time for every client and report it in order to be paid by the hour. Asana easily integrates with Everhour and made project and time tracking a breeze!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the benefits of different levels of plans. We use the Premium plan for the company since we're small and consist only of 10-15 people.
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for my team to manage our project tasks and to ensure all the communication we have is all in one spot. I like the assigning tasks function and the option to control what notifications you receive from the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
For myself, it was easy to navigate my way around, but for some of my team who aren't that savvy, they had trouble knowing where to start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we've removed the dreaded reply-all email thread, we stay on top of our projects and deadlines and we are able to see where everyone else is on their tasks.
Asana is a fantastic project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the front end interface, it organises tasks into suitable categories and can be split into seperate sections. You will see the tasks organised by their due date which is very helpful when planning to delegate work within a timeframe. You can see the history of every task so when it was created, when it was due, and the current progress percentage - this is a benefit over having to go and ask the individual.
What do you dislike about the product?
The android version could be improved as it looks much better on desktop. Would be useful to snooze notifications from certain historic projects as notifications can sometimes become frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For managing projects in an effective manner when working to deadlines and ownership of tasks are important Asana makes all this possible. It has everything in one place and has multiple integrations.
Asana - a bit complicated, but does a good job
What do you like best about the product?
It is used as a task management and project management tool. Its easy integration with the Gantt charts made it very suitable for the needs of our company. Create tasks, assign them to different people, set deadlines, download files, discuss discussions on each thread.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding options to chat on the platform would be great.
This is very difficult, and in order to use all the specific functions, everyone must follow all the textbooks, which requires a lot of time.
In most cases, it's difficult for me to find what I'm looking for, because there are sections, subsections, project names, etc.

It is used as a task management and project management tool. His easy integration with the Gantt charts contributed to his meeting the needs of our company. Creating tasks, assigning them to different people, setting deadlines, downloading files, leading discussions on each thread are just some of the features that the platform offers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is well suited if the company is ready to organize training for all employees so that they can use all the functions of the platform. If you need a simple task management tool, Asana is not suitable, because it is too complex.
A useful way to plan your day, at work and at home
What do you like best about the product?
I like how useable the tool is with useful hotkeys and and integrated mobile app. I also like how you can break a task into sub-steps that can be completed individually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still have to be disciplined to use the tool :). It has helpful email reminders but ultimately it's up to you to use it regularly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I keep track of priorities and try to use it to focus my efforts for the day. I can also keep track of details for long-running tasks and projects.
Wonderful for a flexible and responsive bug and task tracking database
What do you like best about the product?
It can be used for personal and business task tracking. It works well for bug tracking and sprint planning as well and makes it easy to outline goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a slight learning curve in the beginning that was easily overcome. Features for QA and bug tracking could be more comprehensive as seen with RallyDev, but nothing that can't be overcome with supplemental application support w/ Google Docs and the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is wonderful because it can be used for personal task tracking as well as business tracking. It was effective in tracking both bugs, sprint progress, and sprint task. Communication and tagging other users is made easy through Asana. It's easy to organize things the way you want them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an excellent tool for small scale project management and can also be used for personal goal tracking.
Excellent Software for Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
This software has really helped me keep task management on track. I use the task and sub task options to create a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) for projects. This software has many options and is very robust. I especially like the mobile app.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve when getting started because there are many options. It can be a little confusing but once I got going it all made sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this software to organize some internal projects and keep tasks straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many options with this software so know what you want to get done before trying it out.
Asana is my personal and business to-do and project and task manager
What do you like best about the product?
I love how clean, minimalistic and simple the user interface is. It loads quickly when I click on the app to add in any items. It was this app that made me fall in love with the peachy color scheme.
What do you dislike about the product?
Usually my Asana to-do list is extremely long and I often have due dates attached to them. Even when items are past due, they still sit at the very bottom of my to-do list and I never get to them. If there was some sort of visual way of prioritizing my deadlines (or at least bring them to the top of the list), that may be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can assign tasks to my co-workers. I used to work as an Executive Assistant and was told that if things were not on Asana, consider that task never done just like if a meeting isn't scheduled into Google calendar, then that meeting will never happen. When it becomes part of our day to day workflow, we all depend on it and can't imagine using any other tool.
