Impressed and finally organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I was looking for an app that I could organize everything from deadlines of projects, scheduled payroll, dates for training and everything I needed to do to get prepared for it and much more! I like that I can have it in my phone and that I can access it through the computer also, plus I can add other people and assign tasks and see the status of the projects I'm working on and supervising. Everything in one app only! I'm still learning and trying to help others to use it better as I learn, and I hope to have everything in it, as much as personal as for business, because it works even better that an agenda for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could have access to it from a shortcut in the desktop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have ALL my deadlines for payroll, federal payments, user and password of the accounts, sites to go to, in other words, everything in one place with all the information, and scheduled for the whole year. Also I finally could get the projects with the people working in it and have better communication. This app has been perfect for me!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For me, its easier than others I tried before, I finally found what we needed, and its easier to use than most. I recommend it not only for business, but also for personal, like when preparing personal events like weddings, birthdays, baby showers and much more!
Simple / powerful project management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of the product yet it offers so much more. Each task has so many powerful features and tricks you can find to maximize your efficiency.
I love the boards feature, for certain projects the visualization of boards makes it so much easier to see what's happening.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are lots of hidden tools within Asana that I've ever never found or don't know exist. I wish there was a way to learn these things faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and task management across teams. It's increased efficiency and less wasted time chasing down people when getting projects done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a few tutorials first, learn how to best use the product. There are lots of hidden features that are very useful but difficult to find.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend using Asana if you find it a chore to stay on schedule and want to reduce micromanagement. It can give the team a clear cut view of what needs to be accomplished without question. This can allow users to reach for goals on projects and challenge themselves to get ahead of schedule. It also allows you to shift priority and due dates. The entire team assigned to the project and view this and allows users to jump in where it is needed to complete the task. The different views allows you to see per task assigned to just you, calendar view with dates each task is due, and what needs to be completed per project for all users. The aspects listed above make Asana a very valuable tool that any company an benefit from.
Project management system for complex to do lists
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows us to manage multiple project timelines for several events. We can easily keep track of due dates and email schedules to keep our marketing, communication and logistics on schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are limited to the number of users based on the amount you pay for the program. It would be nice to have a few more licenses so full teams can be involved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are managing teams across multiple offices and locations, planning and marketing multiple events in a calendar year and executing communications internally and externally with one platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are managing multiple projects at one time with multiple stakeholders involved in each project - Asana is the project management platform for you to keep your team accountable and on-schedule.
Great task management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has virtually eliminated my paper-and-pen to-do lists. It's an easy way to keep me, my team, and even external vendors on the same page. I like that it has an app so tasks can be managed outside of the office.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, the only thing I dislike is "My Tasks" view has to be saved for everyone in the organization otherwise it defaults to none. That doesn't quite make sense to me, as "MY" tasks should be displayed in the best way for each individual. Also, it would be a cool feature to add a priority ranking so that high priority items are easily visible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps our team updated on important tasks and milestones. It has increased collaboration not only internally, but with external vendors/consultants as well. Using Asana has eliminated paper to-do lists for me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, intuitive interface. Has an app to allow task management outside of the office.
Asana is a wonderful project management tool for small to medium teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy Asana is to set up. It is not overly complex like many of the other project management software I have used. I am not a gantt chart person and am happy that it is not the main focus of Asana. It is very easy to set up projects, collaborate with team members, and get a view of the project both from the highest level down to the lowest task. The ability to dive into subtasks forever is a very easy way to segment projects. I like that only a single person can be responsible for any given task and then many can follow the task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer if the Box connection actually opened up files in Box instead of simply uploaded them from Box. It makes file management a little harder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team has moved all of our business tasks into Asana. We still use PivotalTracker for our software related tasks as it is better for agile development. We have seen an immediate benefit from being able to have a backlog of tasks and a current list of tasks being worked on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free trial and play around with it. You'll quickly find how easy it is to use.
Very interesting to work.
What do you like best about the product?
I'm glad that now I have great tools to communicate and relay info to all group with whom I work. Very easy to do tracking. All my working tools are in place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Good ability of tools. But maybe will be better to add more information about what to do or choose. This can be good for beginners because sometimes cant get what to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very good to control our projects. Very great that we can make a schedule and control our tasks. The product has a good design. I'm glad that my team can work easily and much better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We like to work with that software. I'm sure that you will like it too. Very easy and simple to understand and work. Wonderful tools to use. Also, the software cares about customers and they update their tools all the time.
Free and quick task management with mobile app support
What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like about this app. First off, it's free, yet so full of features. I've used this for tracking business tasks and even personal tasks like everything that was involved with selling my house. It's nice to assign specific tasks to specific members, and be able to have a conversation on that specific task, along with attachments, follow ups, due dates, sub-tasks, etc. And on top of that, it has a slick mobile app too, so whether you're on your laptop/desktop or on your smartphone, you're good to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything that I dislike. I've seen some complaints around the web that the site is slow or has performance issues, but I've never experienced that on any of the computers or phones I have used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It definitely solves our task management and tracking needs. When a task is done, it is archived for future reference. Makes it easy for us to stay organized on what needs to be done, and what has been done. It just works.
Simple and powerful tool to manage tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Task reminders and the fact that there is the My Tasks screen, where you can lookif you find yourself doing nothing. Oh, and it's great for tracking responsibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you don't need to save or confirm anything. It's a hidden pro, really. It makes the work way faster but it takes time to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, task management, responsibility tracking, and always being on top of things. Well, provided that everyone marks their progress and comment on tasks. Oh, and it's a great place for discussion, including file sharing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool is great but good luck contacting their support. All I got were automated messages. To be fair, we fit in the free user category so maybe they prioritize paying customers.
Free and easy to use task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a free tool, yet full of features. It even has a mobile app that syncs well with the web site. My husband and I used it to keep track of all the tasks we needed to do to sell our house. It was nice to be able to assign different tasks to each other and mark them off as needed. We also added comments to the tasks whenever we'd make a phone call or needed to add any other notes. This is a great tool for business or personal use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest complaint I've seen is regarding the performance of the app. I've seen people say that it is slow. This has never been a problem for me personally, but it might be worth Asana keeping an eye on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For business we have used the tool to track tasks and assign them to specific people. Asana also allows us to set due-dates which makes it easier for us to check in on the status of what everyone should be doing.
