Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to share this with others. I can invite people to collaborate with me right in Asana. Its super customizable so I was able to tailor it to my needs. I use it for my personal life and business. There are different templates that you can use. This is a great tool for any project or life management that you can think of. It took me a while to find the best way to use it, but once I did it make things so much easier for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have to keep the app on my phone for the rare occasions that I need to utilize it on the go. Would rather the email notifications give me more info so I don't have to click through to the app or would prefer it load a mobile webpage. But a very very small annoyance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you dislike about the product?
While I enjoy using it, it took a lot of time to get it set up in a way that worked for me. It take a little getting used to the system and it can be slightly confusing at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management. It lets me track projects and tasks associated with teach project. The biggest benefit is it puts everything in once place and is easy to follow once you have it all put together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great program and can be very efficient when used properly. Be prepared to set up the system in a way that works for your organization. However, once set up properly, it is an amazing tool for task management.
Asana makes it easy to manage & track projects
What do you like best about the product?
With the help of Asana, I can keep track of my tasks easily. Moreover, I can also assign tasks to my team members with deadlines. It makes easy to manage all your projects. You can also start team conversations to announce new tasks or to discuss projects. You can plan your time with its calendar feature and can work efficiently. You can also make your tasks public or can keep it private. One of the features of Asana is it helps you to work with two different groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no such thing but just looking forward to more features and functionality. I would like to have more customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing team effectively, tracking your team progress, announcing new projects, meeting deadlines, and assigning tasks.The main problem in every business is to manage its projects and resources and Asana helps in solving this problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Strongly recommended.
Simple and Effective Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy communication with co-workers, task management that is simple even for the most disorganized mind. It is easy to invite new collaborators. Fits perfect into nearly every workflow. Can self-assign tasks or receive task assignments. Love the ability to upload files, which is so helpful for working remotely. Ultimately Asana can be an all-in-one shop for maintaining relationships with contract workers, volunteers, even vendors. Of course, the fact that it is free is any amazing bonus as well! It is also very helpful as a contractor to be able to link different accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email settings are not as customizable as some people would prefer, and can be a bit clunky. The workflow can tend to get a bit cluttered without diligent upkeep. Wish there was more ability to copy old project templates to new ones. I find I spend a lot of time manually entering tasks that could probably be automated on another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between people in different departments and roles. It's easy to stay on task personally, and to know when other teams are on task. Creates a healthy culture of accountability that benefits everyone. In fact, we went away from Asana for a while, and now we are coming back. It is unrivaled by any other project management system I have used, and is definitely better than no project management system at all.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, there is nothing to lose since it is free!
Significantly improved product
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to track all my projects, goals, and tasks in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used Asana many years ago, and wasn't thrilled. However, I gave it another chance and significant improvements have been made. I can now add sub tasks and documents to the projects. My goals are in there and they are trackable. However, I'd really like to be able to search for other related items in an easier way for cross team collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for complex projects.
Basic Team Task Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is helpful for managing tasks with our student staff in the office. It has a sleek interface and has an app that makes it useful for on the go work as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limit for the number of people you can use for free and the cost to add additional people is a bit much for a small organization. We are still working to get everyone in the office regularly integrated into the system. Once we have successfully done that we will evaluate whether the cost is truly worth it to pay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We began using Asana in order to find a way to effectively communicate with a staff of work-study students who are often not all in the office at the same time and who are also not always in the office at the same time as their direct supervisors. This program has allowed us to create teams where the professional staff member can assign tasks to their student workers and, when the teams aren't in the office at the same time they can even communicate back and forth via the comments. The calendar option is also useful but we have not utilized it as much.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is great task management for small offices. The limit on users is the only thing to consider. However, we have been able to create teams and follow up on tasks within our individual teams that allow for performance evaluation and task management as well.
This is best for organizing and monitoring projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an opportunity to eliminate chaos and organize the workflow in order to optimize it. The service has excellent design and functionality and, at the same time, easy to use. I like the function of organizing projects for each participant and for the team as a whole. This helps to assess the pace and dynamics of the project. And also makes our communications within the team easier and more efficient. I see Asana's great potential.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any bad problems with this platform. Actually, I found that software useful and understandable for all working team.
This is not a minus, but my wish: I would like to be able to monitor and evaluate the contribution of each participant to a particular project.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana was very effective for our team. It is an ideal service precisely for collective cooperation. We can prescribe tasks, set dates and deadlines, comment something, and much more. I also use this service for personal purposes. Notifications about the timing of my tasks, allows me to be more organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a need to control the performance of tasks assigned by your team, then Asana will be very useful. Because it is the best tool for organizing projects, setting tasks and controlling the entire work process. The service is easy to use and helps to establish communication within the team.
I recommend Asana for both business and personal use.

Intuitive interface
What do you like best about the product?
When you first start using it, you know exactly how to do it. It's very intuitive.It is scalable and is easy to understand. I feel there is nothing much to improve, it is already doing very well. In my previous work place, I used Basecamp for the organizing and assigning tasks. I feel it is very comparable to that. Highly customizable to particular tasks and is reliable. I used Asana for a brief time in Cognizant and introduced it to few seniors and they really loved it. It personally used it for my publishing tasks. we had small team doing lot of tasks which were difficult to manage at times. Being able to add multiple team members to tasks to keep everyone updated on status and responsibilities is awesome! Having the ability to set deadlines and view other team members tasks is a great way to keep everyone accountable to the work we are delivering. I also love that we can share documents and it easily integrates with our time logging software to keep track of our work hours, which is crucial when it comes to billing and related activities. So overall the software is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish updates were in the form of texts (SMS), something like slack + asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's mostly organizing and tracking of tasks assigned
Recommendations to others considering the product:
alerts can be in the form of texts that can be replied to. Like Slack
Task tracking made simple
What do you like best about the product?
The UI, for sure. I couldn't think of many more ways to reinvent the to-do list - but definitely Asana was able to surprise me in a lot of ways. It's so easy to visualize and understand your tasks in a specific project, as well as see where is your team on their tasks too. The tasks also can store anything you need, from links, comments, picture, items, etc - but to the contrary of other task management tools like Trello and Evernote, this data doesn't get in the way of the main information - great UI and UX!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I think is really missing from Asana is having some tools that can have it used along with Scrum, like having a backlog and being able to separate the tasks by sprints or epics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize our work and improve the team's communication. A place that is easy to great both daily tasks and longer term and bigger scope projects. After making use of Asana we could definitely observe improvement of the team's overall productivity. Now everyone knows exactly what they should be doing (app is great for delegating tasks) and more than that, everyone knows where they should go to understand everything that is going on regarding their projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are afraid that Asana can be overwhelming, don't be. It has a lot of features but it is very simple to use. And more than that, it has integrations with many other tools as well, like Slack and even Google Chrome. It is not only a great tool to be used in teams but also you can use it to track your personal projects too. But if you are considering to use to track your Scrum projects, I think you might need to search for another tool.
Great for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the perfect project management software for small teams that don't need the complexity of a JIRA or other overly complex system but have quickly outgrown tracking tasks in Outlook or Excel. Entering a task takes all of 15 seconds. But if you need to you can quickly expand the information around a task by attaching files, creating sub tasks, setting due dates and dependencies, basically all the features you'd expect with a robust project management system without the overly cumbersome screens or requirements. Asana just lets you use what you need for that project or task without forcing a defined workflow on you every time like JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that they took away the ability to track hours from the free version but I understand why. I also don't like that to track estimated hours, actual hours used and task status you have to setup custom fields for everything. It would be nice if they offered some "templates" of standard custom fields out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows my small team to quickly plan out projects and track the tasks needed to complete the project on time for our clients. I love how we don't need dedicated project manager to just manage the project software but can have the developers manage the tasks themselves.
