A great organizational tool
What do you like best about the product?
The free version allows a small team to collaborate a lot easier than traditional email or Google drive. We love being able to get email updates, @mention and see everything the team is working on in one spot. The post-it note style boards as well as task lists are super helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much really. I only use the free version, so I am not paying for anything but overall I am very pleased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were having communication issues and overlapping work as well as troubles sharing files among the team. This has helped our one designer keep track of due dates and projects so we're able to deliver faster.
Great for Collaborative Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Asana is the My Tasks section. I like how it allows me to see all tasks for me, when they are due, and I can access the project from each one.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the mobile app. It is difficult to use and it does not have what I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped us consolidate all of our open projects into one solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great for collaborative project management.
It helps me stay on task, but I tend to forget to check it. I'd recommend better reminders.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface and how easy it is to assign and complete your own task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not exactly sure where to find content that will help me figure out how Projects might work. I recently had a project assigned to me by someone who left the organization. Since they created the project, there is no way for me to leave it or any content for me to read on how to leave it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management task and making sure everyone involved in the project know what they need to complete so that we can accomplish our goals together. We all have individual goals that complete a bigger picture and asana has helped make that easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The only recommendation I can think of is maybe some more knowledge based articles or even make it just easier to find so that I can help myself rather than reach out to customer support.
Solid and easy to use Project Management tool with no cost
What do you like best about the product?
Have used the free version with several organizations and everyone is always very happy with how easy the tool is to learn and use. It does a good job of tracking tasks, allowing for sharing of files and sending emails when appropriate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have seen some limitations with the free version which I believe do not exist in the paid version. At one point tried to sync it with TFS and I believe hit a speed bump there as well but may also be tied to using the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our IT department uses TFS but several departments that work closely with IT had a need for a Project Management tool that was easy to learn and low cost but still offered what was needed for them to better manage the projects and become more efficient. Asana allowed all of that to happen
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product and can meet many needs for little or no cost
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Tracking joint-tasks, due-dates, desktop version
What do you dislike about the product?
Style of reminders, mobile support, integration with other platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. Really great way to keep on track of a team's tasks
Great small team management platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana gives me the ability to add detailed information to each task so we can give the task a smaller and easier to read name, but not lose anything in translation. I also like that we can all comment on tasks, which makes seeing the status of the task and keeping track of what you did last on the task easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how unintuitive adding a category of tasks is on the dashboard. The button to add a category does not appear until you hover over the new task button, which is very easy for some users to miss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this platform to manage a big project with a small number of people. It has helped us keep track of all tasks that are out, see where everyone is with it, and prevent any overlap in work.
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.
Quick review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is available on Windows and Android unlike all the other apps which are great e.g Sketch only being available on Mac
Task management is great.
Navigation is superb and easy to understand
The boards provide a perfect graphical view of the stages where various tasks are at.
The weekly reminder of what tasks have been completed and how many are pending help in tracking progress.
The due date feature on tasks make time management easy so as the team can work within allowed timelines.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too many options/Features, if you are new you can be overwhelmed and get confused on what which feature does.
Limited dashboards on the free plan
I hope this app would have been free or a once buy off instead of monthly payments.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go right ahead it is all worth it. For smaller teams you actually do not need to buy a subscription since the free plan gives you unlimited projects and accepts teams of upto 15 people, this is more than a normal startup employee base like here in Kenya.
And just like any other software out there, when you are trying it out keep an open mind because there may be one or two things that you may not like, but trust me, Asana is by far the best task management app i have come across personally. There may be better ones out there but for now, Asana is a win!!

User review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
1. The theme of Asana is breathtaking, the combination of th ecolors is amazing, makes it beautiful and want to use.
2. The navigation of Asana is good, makes it easy to find what you are looking for.
3. The introduction of boards on Asana was a huge step to making Asana the best task managing app, with the dragging of task around boards makes it easy to move the tasks around.
4. Assigning of users to tasks and tagging of tasks with priority levels and due dates for each task makes it easy to collaborate with your team regardless if they are on the same room or halfway across the world.

What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't it when i could not move my earlier projects from list form to boards when boards were introduced. It will have been nice if i could do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management, i work with a team which is in India and i with another team here in Kenya, so collaboration of work and division of tasks was becoming a problem but with Asana, this is no longer an issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead and try it out, you won't regret it at all. If you have used Trello then consider this like a Trello 2.0 because it has all those features plus more and then improved and made more appealing and relatable.
