Asana is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
I can assign tasks to employees and also manage my own tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sends a lot of email reminders that I tend to ignore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and project management issues. With multiple people working on projects simultaneously it's hard to keep track of where the project is at in our queue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize all of the tools available to you.
Asana is fantastic for group projects and collaborative communication
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Asana is the ability to assign tasks and subtasks with different due dates, and then assign that project to somebody else if it's a collaborative project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the missing feature of a personal organizational feature to take the place of Google Calendar and goal tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business uses it constantly in very elaborate ways. We set benchmarks by team and by individual and review weekly updates across projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great program for businesses that require a lot of daily communication. It really helps reduce extraneous emails.
Asana is the best task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
- the UI is simple and intuitive
- at the same time it offers many advanced tools (such as a subtask of a subtask of a subtask of a subtask, or project templates)
- advanced search (tasks with an attachement I marked as done in October 2016 - actually used this one)

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow to load, but the Asana team has been working hard on this one and switching between tasks is now much faster. But there is still a lot to improve. For now I just keep Asana open in a pinned tab at all times, so I never have to worry about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to organize and delegate the work for every team member. No one ask "What do I have to do today?" anymore, they just open their Asana and see their list of tasks.
Excellent project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to pick-up, timely notifications, good organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
No desktop application, no start dates, custom reporting is a bit clunky
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management software - much better project planning, execution, and organization!
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Do not be afraid to assign tasks and due dates

Asana a Great Feature to Hold Yourself Accountable
What do you like best about the product?
I love how I can share and collaborate lists and calendars with my team, which holds me accountable to my deadlines. Asana also took a lot of time on the design, so it's a modern minimalist look with a high priority of graphic integrity and usability. I've used similar programs and Asana is by far the most tech forward and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't add multiple team members to a single task, which has turned into a big problem. Also, sometimes I want to add a person's name to a project without having them download and sign in to a list. I wish it were possible to add names to an item without including their email just for tracking purposes and visibility for the rest of the team. Also, I have to click into an item before editing or marking off. All those clickthroughs mean I inevitably find it too time consuming to add end edits tasks, so I stop creating lists or keeping them up to date. While Asana is a great tool, there are definitely more updates to be done to make it more user friendly. Also, I REALLY wish that it were possible to integrate all these dates and calendars directly into Outlook so that I didn't have to compare and contrast my Asana calendar with my Outlook calendar. Automatic synching between Outlook and Asana would entice me to actually pay for a premium account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration on projects. Keeps everyone on track by keeping deadlines top of mind.
Great Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you are able to add tasks and subtasks and pick and choose what people you want to follow your project. I like there there is a "My Tasks" section so I can easily see what I need to do today.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that when people responded to Asana notifications from their email that it did not include their email signature and all the social media icons in their signature. It ends up cluttering up the Asana project conversation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps keep our marketing department organized and on track. It also allows us to keep all conversation and proofs regarding a project in one place so I'm not having to dig through old emails.
Asana, The tool we use for event management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a free, complete solution to manage teams. It makes easy to collaborate with multiple people to plan, organize, keep track the tasks and projects. Most of the time we use it for event management projects. And it has mobile apps and Chrome extension to make it more productive. Asana has apps to connect with Microsoft teams, Dropbox, Google drive and many other favorite services. It's a great solution to manage all these services in a team work space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I am quite confused and feel bad about the dashboard interface of Asana. It looks bit messed up. The new team members also take a lot of time to be familiar with Asana's user interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a media company, we have to take part event management as the event hosting or a partner. Asana gives plays a big role as the team management software of the events we manage. Asana takes the responsibility of the communication and task management part of the event in a very organized way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a good solution for event management and other organizational works.
Great program and easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it can help me stay organized with the projects that my staff is working on and I can see once they have completed an assignment. I can also assign 1 project to multiple people when many of us are working on the same thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Take a little while to get used to the system and didn't find it user friendly at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps my team and I to stay organized, keep deadlines, and helps me keep track of how long it takes someone to accomplish a project. Great way to measure productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find a tutorial to view before use. I feel like I'm not using it to its full potential.
Great project management tool to keep track of your ideas!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the web based tool that allows me to share projects with others or schedule them to keep my plans in order.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't always want to be so granular in my plans and the tool is less useful for big picture plans I just want to keep track of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am the project girl! I dream of the possibilities and like to see them to fruition. It allows me to prioritize plans and keep track of ideas that might be sidelined for the time being.
