Review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to connect easily with colleagues and the create a to-do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesnt streamline with calendar as well as I like and struggles to keep tasks in order for more than a couple people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting the calendar to the emails and meetings we schedule and send for the business we are working with.
Simple features are nice, could be more intuitive.
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to set up the different boards and visualize a list of tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The focus on each board being a project, would like more features in terms of team/task management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization across teams
I <3 Asana for both work and home
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE the ability to organize everything I need/want to do on both a big (project) and little (subtask) scale. Asana keeps the overwhelm at bay and prevents procrastination, because I always know how to get started and what to do next.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the task order would default to due date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management across a team - seeing who's doing what and the progress
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the tutorial project, it's so easy and teaches everything you need to know
Nearly perfect project/product management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana worked well as a product and project management tool at the start-up I was at. It was quite easy to create many projects that cross-referenced the same task and bring in the various assigned users as needed. The separate taxonomies of users/projects from the task itself made it quite possible to track the development of one idea as it went through the product development process, from stakeholder ideation to design to eventual development. Our team came from using Trello, and the ability to have both a board view and a task view was quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana as a stand-alone would be fine for most teams. There were times that I wish it was less fully featured, like Trello, to make it easier to parse and read what was going on. The simple ability to add an image to the card like Trello can would greatly help more creative teams remember what each task was. And there were also times where I wish it would be easier to grade and sort by difficulty scale and position in the product development process as an attribute of the card (e.g. "Icebox" as a status instead of having to put it in a separate list or project called Icebox), more like Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To handle nearly all projects and product tasks that we currently do, Asana has been helpful to contextualize conversations to the task and bring a lot of the conversation that used to happen across email and Slack onto an archival tool. It's easy to integrate mocks from Zeplin or Invision and attach images, though a more fully featured media management tool could help. Right now, when I need to upload an updated image, I have to manually delete any old images.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Especially for small teams, Asana has what you need to get started.
Great for managing tasks amongst teams!
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great to-do list tracker for everyone on your team! Everyone can assign different tasks and it also tracks which tasks are completed & when.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'll admit, it was a little confusing to me when I first started working with it. But after a few days, it's pretty simple!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management is a big thing that we solved within our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend testing it out for your team, especially because it's free!
Asana for board management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is easy to use for tech users and people who aren't used to traditional project or task management software. It's intuitive and requires little to no training for out of the box usage. I like that you can add followers that get automatic updates on deliverables.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's really not much to dislike. The only thing I don't like, is that it doesn't easily integrate with Google tasks, which a lot of other people on the team use for their personal and other tasks. It would be nice to have something that could move into one task list. Instead we have to duplicate tasks if we want this one source of assignments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to coordinate many mini projects among people with different responsibilities and work schedules. Since we're not able to always convene in person or on the phone depending on availability, this serves as a good repository for information and history tracking.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked as a marketing consultant for some time and managed to manage up to ten projects with Asana at the same time. This service helps to virtually eliminate the work with e-mail and work much more efficiently. People in my team know exactly what to do and when to do it. My clients know exactly what is happening with their projects. And I know how to plan my day. Communication is directly related to tasks and results - this is really important.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- At least 2 times a day go to the My tasks section and select the Calendar tab to monitor the task status and deadline
- Transfer tasks from work immediately from mail / chat to Asana
- You can not change the date of the task without comment
- If the user performed part of the task and had to transfer it to another responsible person, but forgot to do this, he and the project manager are to blame. If the task was moved to another user after 18:00, you also need to change the date by putting out tomorrow, and indicate the status in the comment to the task
- At the end of the working day there should not be a single task with the date of the current day

The best task management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that each task can have sub-tasks added and there is room for notes and comments. It's just so easy and enjoyable to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult to figure out how to access completed tasks that has been ticked off previously. That is the only thing I could possibly fault. I was up and running with Asana within a few hours of starting the job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for keeping track of tasks and projects that you are completing. Colleagues can assign you tasks or add you onto boards and projects, you can write notes, comments, attach documents etc. All on a super simple interface.
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.
