Asana is great for managing team projects or for just keeping yourself organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the layout and user experience of the program. Asana does a great job of making it effortless for you to create projects, organize these projects into task, assign these task to other group members, and set deadlines that reveal timelines for the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm with the platform was the notification and outgoing task settings. Regarding notifications, its really difficult to keep the team from being overwhelmed with email notification for task updates and completions. Regarding ongoing task, it seemed cumbersome to update task completion when task are ongoing, which resulted in task going undated when they were reoccurring
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really allowed for my team and I to visual project timelines, and to appropriately allocate man power for task completion. I really enjoyed the fact that it was pretty self standing versus something like a slack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation for Asana would be to pair it with something like google drive or dropbox. It is great for organizing projects, but you will still need to house and organize these projects. Other than that Asana is a great stand alone app.
Reliable and user-friendly project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana very easy to use. Some of the other project management software I've used isn't terribly easy to navigate but I don't have that problem with Asana. It's literally a list of tasks within a project and you can section them out, make subtasks, assign to coworkers, create due dates, etc. All the basics but in a much more digestible format.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are little things I wish it did, like being able to edit comments or use rich text editing within a task (I often find myself wanting to highlight a piece of important text). It would also be nice to assign a comment to someone or have multiple assignees for a task if it's a collaborative effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are extremely task oriented and work in an agile environment. Asana is an easy way to keep all the tasks organized. We also utilize templates, custom tags, and other features. I also like the ability to have an "inbox" so it notifies me when someone comments on a task I'm following, and the messaging within a project for members only. It makes it easy to communicate with a team on a specific project without having to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to others because of its ease of use. It's very digestible and I never have a hard time finding what I need within it. There are, of course, things I wish it would do but the support team is very responsive and helpful. I feel like they do consider new suggestions from users and appreciate feedback so they're always coming out with something to improve upon it.
Asana is Amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for over two years now, and it's the best task management system I've used yet. The way you can manage various projects and assign multiple projects to tasks is probably my favorite feature. I really love that you can also use task feeds and add them to your google calendar and other apps like slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a little underwhelmed by the chat or commenting section of Asana as it seems a little cluttered. I feel also that the sub-task feature is a bit confusing to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it every day to write down both business and personal tasks to remember to do. I've had a great peace of mind using this form of task management. The sleek and clean looks keeps all my tasks always at reach and organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try List view for most projects. Try sticky note view for only brainstorming tasks.
I really LOVE using Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana at work AND at home too. At work I use it to keep up with all the tasks I need to do (both recurring tasks and one-time tasks), assigning tasks to others (collaborating and updating those tasks as well) and keeping notes for clients too. At home, I use it to remind me when I need to replace my HVAC filters, mow the lawn, flush the water heater, clean behind the fridge and all of the other things you don't remember to do (but you know you should!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can be difficult to navigate between projects (if you have a lot). Finding one obscure task in one obscure project can be a challenge. I think they're improving the search engine and navigation to fix this though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping control of tasks, assigning tasks to employees and keeping up-to-date with all of the goings ons around work.
A Beautiful Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Subtasks make big projects manageable, especially with the individual due dates and assignments within the subtask itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Privacy controls could be easier to learn. I don't like the fact that anyone with an @organization.org email address can join the Asana "organization."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifies my and my team's to do lists, love having the option to upload files and included. Having everything out of email makes it easier to track projects from beginning to end. Accountability has been a nice bonus of assigning tasks with a specific due date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free service is robust enough for small offices and provide a good idea of what the product is like. The paid version definitely comes with more bells and whistles and is great for medium sized to large companies. Using Asana has greatly increased communication between team members. It has been huge in terms of accountability: team members know what is expected of them, what they need to accomplish the task, and a clear deadline.
Great task management app
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to share tasks and keep track of my own tasks. The ability to have projects, tasks, and subtasks makes organizing my work easy. Adding tasks via email is also a great tool, and I love that its ability to connect to other organization apps, such as time trackers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have several workspaces. I wish Asana gave the ability to view all tasks from each workstation in one place. That would make it much easier to keep track of everything I have to do and to prioritize what needs to be done based on their due dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My spouse and I each have our own businesses but we also share some of the responsibilities of each other's businesses. It's so easy to assign him something in Asana if he's not there to discuss it with him, or as a reminder of things we've already asked each other to do. We've even started using it for home tasks: keeping track of bill due dates, housework, school events, etc. It's a great multi-purpose app - task manager, calendar and reminder list all in one.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a small business owner, I only use the free service. Some of the paid options would be nice to have but, at least at this time, the benefits received with the paid service are not worth the price, which is kind of expensive. The free service meets my needs and then some. I can see large corporations easily justifying the expense, however.
I Couldn't Run My Business Without Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
This software is a MUST in my business! I could not run as efficiently without being able to manage not only all my client's day to day task but following a project from start to finish. It's literally home base for my business. Also, for as small as my business is, you can't beat FREE!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have a single thing I dislike. It's free to use for small teams like me and I couldn't ask for anything more! It's literally the best product of it's kind!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is basically an admin hub for my business. It can even act as a CRM when needed. I love being able to have guests into a project where they can only access that portion of the site and not gain access into my entire business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nothing! Everything is great! I do wish there was a calendar view in the mobile app of Asana.
The best project management tool ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Where to start...I love everything about Asana! But I think the best part is how easy it is to use. Plus the user interface is easy on the eye ;) I also love the little animations every time I complete a task!! I've recommended this product to my husband and they've started using Asana for a month now and love it too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the fact that I couldn't put in start dates for a project but I see that it is now available in Premium :) Also don't like that you have to put a task into a project to be able to see it in the calendar view. Not sure if this has changed with all the upgrades...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Asana, there were projects that would get forgotten until the last minute, because the info was buried somewhere in my email inbox. We didn't know what projects the rest of the team was working on or how far along they were so if a team member was away from work and a client contacted us to find out we couldn't actually give any feedback. Now we have easy access to what everyone is working on, we know exactly what's outstanding on each project. Information for each project is stored in one place, so no more trying to wade through emails!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it...and you'll wonder how you ever survived without it!

Best project/task management software I've used
What do you like best about the product?
The integration between Asana and Instagantt. It makes resourcing for multiple projects a breeze. Fantastic integration with instagantt and Harvest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited permissions, that any user can mark complete and edit dates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team schedule planning and progress tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
