Awesome Dashboard and very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I love the calendar view to see your project and tasks by their due date. Asana also has other ways to view including lists and columns (used like sticky notes). You can easily assign different users to tasks and set due dates. I love how you can keep track of project conversations or add notes/comments to individual tasks. This makes it easy for me to leave feedback or helpful bits of information for my team members. Asana also has a great feature to add files or attachments to a project - I don't believe that it has a version control feature, yet, however, its nice to be able to associate something (like a template) with a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could assign more than one user to a task - as sometimes i've come across something that is a collaborative effort. I would really make sure to check you email notification settings because it can get spammy very quickly if you have a lot of project updates. Other than that there's nothing that I strongly dislike about Asana, I think it's a really great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses the calendar to plan our monthly social media content and it is amazing for collaboration. We are able to pull in new company groups (such as human resources) to help share content and make sure that we don't overlap on dates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This software is amazing for team project management or even for just organizing/scheduling your own workload. The interface is super easy to use and understand and I've had multiple team members say they use it to organize their own tasks, even if they're not involved in a team project using Asana.
It has vastly improved the flow of communication for our team
What do you like best about the product?
being able to assign tasks to various members. This allows you to give them a physical list of what they are responsible for instead of there being confusion over who is doing what, as well as a visual reminder in there to do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
That subtasks do not automatically disappear when completed the way tasks do. It can get very cluttered very quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Open and constant communication between teams that are spread over multiple locations. We can all be in the loop with what is going on in one place, as opposed to a bunch of emails sprinkled throughout our inbox. All of the related information on an issue is in one spot, in writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When first using, I highly recommend a team training on using the software so that everyone is on the same page. It will be very intuitive for some people, but others will struggle and will need some guidance. So long as everyone understands how to use it, and you make allowance for a few weeks to learn efficiency, this software is amazing. I love being able to work from my phone, and their mobile app allows me to do that easily.
I love how it keeps me and my team organized and helps us stay on track with other teams.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how detailed I can get in my projects and tasks. Love that I can create templates as I use them constantly for replicating similar projects. Reminders and recurring tasks are awesome. Honestly, as a project manager, I'm literally in Asana all day everyday and am so thankful that it keeps me organized and on-track with everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that I had some tips or tricks for organizing things a little more. One of the other teams I work with has a LOT of team members and would like to be able to see all project details at a glance, but they have a hard time using the project description because they're usually viewing from a task level, not a project level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are coordinating about 10 projects per month with lead gen, creative, and development teams and are finding that we have the deliverables we need on time and aren't missing due dates. We also are able to hold people accountable for their work and timelines and keep everything organized and in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help keep your teams organized and help you stick to deadlines. I love how easy it is to communicate between teams, assign tasks to specific people, follow-up on past tasks with reminders, and set recurring tasks for things that you do regularly. Make sure to check out tutorials or chat with the Asana support team so that you can familiarize yourself with the interface to get the most out of all the features.

ability to review video in asana
Very Useful
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can organize my weeks, all with using one helpful tool. Whether I think of something I need to complete or any of my co-workers, we can just add a quick task. The fact that in each task you can put the description and add other sub tasks that relate to what you are trying to do is awesome.
It really allows me to stay on top of things without trying to remember every little detail.
I also like putting my updates about the project in the comment sections, so my teammates can take a look to see where I am with something. The email reminders everyday is pretty cool too, just in case I forget to login and check.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can honestly say I haven't found something I don't like. Overall this app/website is very useful and user friendly!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whether my company has a project we or I need to work on, we automatically go to Asana.
So I am able to come up with a solution to any issues by corresponding with my colleagues about the topic/issue via this website without it disrupting the work day.
My boss also assigned all my onboarding things I needed to get accomplished to get more familiar with the company, when I first started. It was hands down unlike any other thing I have seen at previous jobs. It really allowed me to know which direction I was heading and how to get there.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO IT! It will seriously keep you organized and on top of all your tasks. I have already recommended this website/app to others. I love it and don't know where I would right now without it.
Asana makes our lives so much easier!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create a project with tasks & sub-tasks. This makes it easier to track, assign tasks, and visually see the flow of everything that has ever been done. Emoji integration & the application is also very helpful for keeping motivation up as well as staying connected at all times.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is have to click "Load more" when there are many tasks created within a task. Formatting (bullet lists, tables, etc) within the Text Area also has room for improvement to be able to past in more advanced content such as a table for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of not knowing who has done what when it comes to project managers assigning tasks. We now can hold responsibility as far as who has completed what work and who has assigned the correct or incorrect tasks. We are also able to hold accountability based on how long it takes to complete tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works excellent if you need a simple task management system that integrates with many other platforms and is extremely easy to use.
More updates with my colleagues in an easy way
What do you like best about the product?
As a product designer, it's really practical being in touch with my boss and collegues for my projects updates, in real time getting rid of many emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I'm not having any problem with it, it's just a little hard to start it with people hard to convince on using new approaches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my product design process is helping me a lot reminding all tasks to me and my collegues. And thanks to Instagantt my new approach to the Gantt is more user friendly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and then you'll see more and more people will join it. Thanks to manuals and how to videos, there's a lot of material for getting started. Now since my team is getting bigger very soon I'll go for the Premium subscription.
Works wonders for keeping our list of service calls organized
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for various personal tasks, but my favourite part is the new boards functionality. I use this to organize our various service calls (equipment maintenance), moving them through various stages from quoting to invoiced/followup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The boards features are still very new, so looking forward to additional filtering capabilities (e.g. filter by tag).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us to know what the most important jobs are at any given moment, what stage they are in, and how to move them forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. You'll (probably) love it.
Asana Works Great for Simple Database Usage
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for a small side business that I run. It helps me to track current clients, former clients, potential clients, and track communications with all of them. Additionally it provides a simple platform to collect contact information, set reminders, etc. I use the free account, but it offers all of the features I need for the simple nature of the business I use it for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that the mobile app doesn't always communicate flawlessly with the desktop version. It seems to have a few glitches, but those seem to occur less and less over time. I do believe the company is working to fix these issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using Asana as a small database for my business. It allows me to track conversations, contact information, and create queues of those I need to connect with, including past, present, and potential clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are running a small to medium sized business and are looking for a cost-effective solution to your database needs, check out this product. It is simple, easy to use, accessible across devices, and allows you to easily access stored information. I use this software to track conversations and contact information, to create to-do lists of past, present, and potential clients I want to connect with, and to track other business activities. This software is a time-saver for me for sure! I am grateful for the free version of this as well.
One of the best project management tools out there
What do you like best about the product?
Using Asana for many years and on multiple projects in various organizations (and personal), I can really recommend Asana as project management tool. It's not your all- in-one tool, but the simplicity makes the technology disappear so that you can focus on the work. If you need some more functionality, the integrations with other services work great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the limited feature-set is concerning, because you have to pay another company again for more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All project management and remote working team management.
