Just Amazing! Much more than just a task and project manager
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way you can create tasks and projects, assign them to users, define due dates, etc. The best thing has to be the way you can link tasks from one project to an other, and the compatibility with other apps!
What do you dislike about the product?
When you are new to it, it can be overwhelming... but you will get the hang of it soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now we can keep track of every project, know exactly on what stage they are, how much time will it need to get done, even when each task its assigned to a different person
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get It!! Ask for tutorials and support if needed.
Keeps you and your team on track
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, there are so many ways to improve the efficiency of short term and long term tasks. First, the design of the interface is very nice and intuitive. Asana's foundational features are ones that make an organized person happy: ability to check of tasks, set sure dates and times, organize tasks into projects, and add subtasks to tasks. Asana also offers you varying levels of privacy for everything you enter. You can control who sees and had access to what, and you can also search for a team member's tasks to help keep them in track.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the things that I disliked when I first started using Asana have been updated now. The only thing left on my wish list is to be able to assign tasks to multiple people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm improving work flow, keeping team members accountable, and allowing all stakeholders to have status updates available to them without having to ask for it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In order for Asana to work for you, your whole team had to be on board. It will not work if only a portion of your team uses it.
A real productivity app. Something we all need.
What do you like best about the product?
Features.
Asana supports many meaningful features that we all need. Sometimes I find myself learning something new from Asana that I never did before and it helps me manage my projects easier. For instance, for project dashboard, I learned there is a way to export the reported projects into Google Spreadsheet with charts. It took me 5 seconds to generate a useful report.
And I bet it's only getting better and better.

What do you dislike about the product?
Team Conversations should include some features to be able to add or tag projects and tasks in it. We currently use the name of the project with "" to make sure we understand each other but I've used Jira or some other task and project management tools that these features have been used for a long time.
Team Conversations feature should be good enough to avoid teams from using Asana.
Or have a smooth integration with Slack and stop developing the Team Conversation in Asana. (I'm aware of the current integration between Asana and Slack. But I don't find it that useful)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management among matrix-organized teams.
I've used, Jira, RedBooth (even before the new name changed to RedBooth), Bootcamp, etc. Each one has its own interesting features. But for visualizing and managing TEAMWORK, I have found Asana to be more helpful for Marketing teams than any other platform. I know web developers and engineers tend to like Jira more, but for marketers, Jira is not as useful as Asana.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start using Asana's free version to see how easy it is to use. You can have a good grasp of the main things they offer. It's very convenient but I recommend you to give it a try. If you have a Gmail account you can easily start the free account (it's not even a trial, so you can have the free version forever).
Great for task management!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that tasks can have followers, you can assign only one person per task so they are held accountable, and the overall organization of the system, including teams, projects, tasks, subtasks, calendars, etc.
I also LOVE that you can import tasks via CSV. For those starting with Asana, check out this feature ASAP!

What do you dislike about the product?
I am very pleased with this product. I have seen that they are working on integrations with other apps, like Slack and Google Drive, which will just enhance the experience even more. I honestly don't have any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task coordination for remote teams to ensure timely project completion.
People are looped in on projects so people can clearly understand their roles and hold each other accountable for project success.

CanNOT say enough about the power of Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of building projects and tasks while adding notation, dates, and updates! There is so much that I can say about the functionality and intuitive design that this software provides. Not only can I do everything from my app, but the look and feel from Web to app is seamless in design, Making for a pain-free process when trying to project manage. No one likes a clunky interface when they're trying to GSD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a few more clicks then I would like, and it can be a little bit confusing at first trying to decide where to add notes depending on what level you want the notation added; for example, if you want to add to that the task level or at the project level, you can do either or both, but to see those notes on the task level requires clicking on each task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have so much on my plate that this provides a relaxing flow and understanding of what needs to be done immediately, versus what can be put on a side or back burner or taken off the stove completely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are plenty of Competitors out there, and you'll obviously want to make sure and weigh your options, however, I saw that has very good options for absolutely no price whatsoever, especially if you're a small business owner and don't have a large staff, or you are just project managing you and only you.
Using Asana for Project, Task, Team Collaboration in a Corporate Environment
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add projects, set and track assigned tasks, use a shared calendar, and add attachments makes for a complete Project Management Software. It enables the whole team to know exactly what's going on in a project, who has completed their assignments and gives an at a glance view of the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing and security could be a little more granular. Some tasks and or edits made to the project or templates can be edited or removed by more collaborators than desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it to track Projects ranging from Re-Branding, Website development, and Level 10 EOS Meetings to keep the department heads on task and in the know in every step of the project.
Everyone is kept up to date on every aspect of the task without needing and coordinating countless meetings.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for its shared calendaring, additions of not only tasks but important file attachments to projects. Create custom templates/questionnaires. Use it's dashboard to see the status of the jobs at a glance and dive deeper into tasks to see assignments and statuses.
Asana is amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has helped me keep track of, not only my customer appointments I have scheduled, but also my team's appointments that they have scheduled with their customers. I can easily track who, what, when, where and why all by simply clicking on my Asana calendar and clicking on each appointment and looking through the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about Asana. If I had to chose something to dislike, it would be the interface. Although there is nothing technically wrong with the interface, it could use some sprucing up in terms of livelihood.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had issues with previous companies in the past with keeping appointments and having appointments change without any notifications. With Asana those issues have been eliminated. You receive an email as soon as anything has changed with any appointment you are following. And following is as easy as clicking follow on the appointment tab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do not absolutely love the ease and convenience this program offers I would be thoroughly surprised!
Asana is a huge help with preojcet management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to use and can be picked up quickly without much training. This allows new employees to hit the ground running and not take too much time with training.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems like there isn't much in the way of customization. It would be nice to be able to customize the templates a bit more to fit each companies needs and flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We heavily use Asana for Project management. Being able to reference old tasks within one source is very helpful. Our company has various teams throughout the glove so being able to communicate via Asana helps to get things done quickly and efficiently even with a huge time difference.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make sure it will work with what you want to use it for. Everyone has their own way of communicating tasks so give it a try and make sure the flow works for your company and employees
Asana makes task management a breeze!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great place to keep all of your tasks and files, a full calendar, assign tasks to teammates, create subtasks and post comments, categorize things into projects and more. I especially love the recurring task feature so you can easily have a task re-assigned weekly, monthly or in whatever timeframe you'd like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the email notifications can be a lot - they seem unnecessary because as soon as you log in you'll realize what is due and what is coming up but luckily you can even disable the reminder emails if they are crowding your inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so easy to keep track of not only my own work, but the whole team's. You can view everyone else's tasks and in calendar mode it's easy to see how busy each person is each day and what they have due that day. It makes it incredibly easy to track project completion and follow up and have less missed deadlines. It's huge for accountability and production. We have 12 companies in our portfolio and it's easy for things to slip through the cracks, but Asana keeps us on top of the work,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you set up your team account, think of your large buckets that will serve as project folders and make it easier to group tasks. It also helps to tag projects and tasks in other ways for searchability. Experiment with recurring tasks and the calendar to get the full use. See what other programs it integrates with, such as Slack for an even better experience.
Asana saves my chronic procrastination
What do you like best about the product?
I work as a solo freelancer from time to time and Asana allows me to keep track of multiple projects without the headaches of juggling multiple applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard could be a bit more intuitive and the default keyboard commands can present itself difficult especially if you are new to task-based management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am helping fellow creative entrepreneurs tell their stories by tracking internal goals vs actions. I realized that I was holding back on the clients I was working with - they should be using Asana too!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are some great Youtube tutorials to help you jump over the learning curve - It's a must-have tool in my digital arsenal.
