If you deal with lot of team mates and hundreds of tasks, Asana is gonna save your life!
What do you like best about the product?
The best task list is the notepad, because it's simple and fast. Now imagine if you give it super powers! That's how I feel about Asana. It makes so easy to create tasks and assign them, but goes beyond a simple notepad list because you can set due dates, include followers, make comments, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
I confess one thing... there's a little learning curve, not so much because os Asana itself, but more about how the user will adapt the current way he organize his tasks versus the Asana way. There's some different and flexible ways to use Asana (that's what makes it so good) and in the very beginning you may feel a little lost until you find the way the best suits your needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows for a team to work with hundreds, even thousands of tasks in a very organized and simple way. Asana makes it possible and very delightful to stop using emails for tasks and approvals.
Easy to use and effective
What do you like best about the product?
Really easy to set up. Free package is good enough too for getting efficient project management out of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations with other apps not available in free package. Atleast give trial option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management, collaboration, task delegation etc. Benefits are that it is easy to assign tasks and keep people accountable for deadlines, progress etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great to get your team to work together, collaborate, keep each other accountable to the tasks needed to finish a project. It also is very convenient to integrate with other apps like Slack so you can get notifications on task completions and comments being left on various project boards. Only thing is that integration is available only for non free accounts. So make the effort and pay so more apps can integrate, for example google drive, dropbox etc.
Asana is a great tool that we use to manage the status of projects as well as manage personal tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can forward an email to an address and it will create an asana task so I can move through my emails in an efficient manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easier way to see tasks you are added as a watcher to. There have been times when a co-worker is "assigned" to a task and I've been added as a watcher but I do not see it on my dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to keep track of projects, to send out weekly requests for status updates, as well as use it for operational task delegation

Asana the solution for small businesses??
What do you like best about the product?
What is a web and mobile application designed to improve communication and collaboration in light equipment and easy to use without anything complex only the functions necessary for an efficient and effective communication so as to achieve a good performance of a joint task.
What do you dislike about the product?
A very typical error of these applications is that the pro version is very expensive. On the other hand the version tends to create an error and close in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That while I have an active task I can perform subtasks, tags and sections, in turn I can associate those tasks with projects and be more precise when monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to lower the cost to the Pro version so that more users can buy the application.
Very Useful
What do you like best about the product?
Staying organized is easy in this program. It allows you to keep track of multiple projects at one time, and include collaborators, who can receive updates as the project progresses. The best part of the app is having the ability to set up clear deadlines, expectations, and instructions, in one organized place. Accountability is key in our business, and this allows us to track individual projects at the progress through the production process. Without some way to stay organized, we would be relagated to the old days of emails and post-it-notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a way to set up more conditional filtering. The more projects you have, the harder it is to keep track of what each one's status is at any given time. I would like to see the service create a way to filter your projects by due date, status, and collaborator. It would make the app a lot more powerful if notification could be global for certain aspects, such as completion of projects, but select notifications for non-critical updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large group project management across multiple departments with upwards of 10 individuals. The software allows us to keep each other up to date on all of our pending projects without having to result to phone calls, text messages, or emails. Now we just check the app before we interrupt our colleague with status updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a powerful organizational software that can be up and running quickly with new team members and collaborators.
A powerful tool for teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about asana is the ease of use and the fact that you can separate large projects into smaller ones and assign them to a group of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything negative to say about the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are no business problems that I'm solving with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have the inbox notifications be sent to our Gmail accounts.
Great tool for small groups & teams to keep organized
What do you like best about the product?
This is very convenient for scheduling and managing large groups of tasks that span across departments or teams. The calendar feature is also very useful, as is being able to tag projects and organize by importance or level of urgency.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike, although it would be great if it had more calendar integration in the lower plan levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminates (as it claims) the need for massive email threads which copy entire departments or teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, start with the free version and go from there! (It's the type of tool that grows on you)
Easily Organize Your Work Tasks for Yourself
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was very simple to use; I was able to quickly create tasks and assign them to specific days. I was also able to add specific notes and continuously update the tasks as I progressed with my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only confusing items were "projects" vs tasks....it took me quite a while to understand what the difference were between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, I want to make sure I am hitting my deadlines, speaking to the clients as promised, as well as remember all the details that went with every appointment. It definitely is a great memory jogger and helps me gain better trust with my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a task software to help you stay accountable to your deadlines as well as keep meticulous notes on events, Asana is a great platform. This is also a great tool to use if you are working a project with multiple people, and you can set sharing properties to collaborate or keep projects private.
Best Project Management Tool For Digital Marketing Agencies
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of task creation & organization of your task lists & projects. It also has a very nice recurring task feature that allows you to space tasks based on client size & how frequently they would need to be done. There is also a bulk edit feature that Trello doesn't offer & easier to use than Teamwork's.
What do you dislike about the product?
The templates are a little more rigid & aren't as flexible as other software I've used. Also, it can get difficult to utilize the same template for more than one team or department. In an agency setting, having several projects/templates for one client can be a pain to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For keeping up with recurring tasks & prioritizing work, Asana is the best tool we've used. The ease of bulk editing tasks is far better than either Trello or Teamwork. Also, smaller things such as commenting on items, task assignments, repeating tasks is easier than competitors. These are minor interface features but do make a noticeable difference when using it for several hours every day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great solution for technical work that requires ongoing maintenance/tasks, it works very well for SEO & PPC. Also, it is possible to integrate training materials/guidelines within the interface, which keeps everything in one place.
Asana is my To Do List
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, I can easily create my To Do List, set Due Dates, sort by those dates, and even create tasks via email. My inbox remains uncluttered this way. What I really like is whether it is on my mobile device or on one of my computers in the browser, everything stays in sync beautifully. If I'm in the middle of a meeting and know that I have tasks to do (or suddenly remember a task that needs following up on), I can make a note for myself very quickly. That way, when I get back to my computer, it's right there waiting on me. I can also easily setup a task and then assign it to one of my coworkers to complete. I can then get comments or validation that it has been taken care of.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of features that Asana has that I've not been able to take advantage of. Also, there are some things I don't particularly care for. For instance, when creating a task, if I assign it to someone else FIRST before completing the Title, Due Date, etc. then they will get multiple notification emails around the task as I make updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily see a glance of what my day looks like and avoid over-booking myself with tasks and due dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to learn and the ability to email yourself tasks make it so helpful. It took me less than 2 hours to be fully up and running with it.
