Teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easily it was our our team to collaborate. We could assign tasks, check status of projects, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that you could not see a coworkers task list by default (everything had to be added to a shared project). This made it tricky to manage my employees workload.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us to strategically plan and to allow easy access to assigning tasks within the workplace.

Asana - as easy as pie!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it's simple, intuitive and easy to track multiple tasks across multiple projects and people.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't automate reminders, meaning that you can loose track of tasks if you're not on it regularly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps keep the communication flow open, creating visibility and accountavility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check it out. Signing up is free and easy - what have you got to lose?
Versatile and High Level Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate and manage on my desktop and iPhone- I love the list feature as well as the board feature!
What do you dislike about the product?
If someone assigns tasks to you and links your account to their account, it is hard to keep things separate and risk them seeing tasks not related to those accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and Task Management as well as process and workflow management- creating steps and templates for repeated tasks and documenting the actual workflow involved- tracking it when working with team members or by myself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make the switch! With the board and list features, you can appease all learning styles- linear or visual. Great features for tracking tasks, monitoring progress, and creating processes for business tasks!

I like to call it a "Glorified To Do List" -- in a good way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's simple list orientation makes it easy to follow and manage projects for your team. Assigning tasks and due dates is super easy and the notification options are plentiful. I really like having the ability to add sub tasks to tasks, which means that we can declutter the main view a bit by breaking tasks down into smaller pieces within larger tasks. I actually used to use Asana as my CRM (until I found one that worked out better for me). Oh, and one of the best features of Asana is the price. It's hard to beat free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could manage team-only and client-facing tasks in the same project (instead of creating a task in a private project and then assigning it from there to a client project). Also, I've noticed that they are focusing a lot more on new functionality for paid members only.
One feature in particular that I would love to see become native is time tracking for individual tasks. Currently it integrates with outside tools like Harvest, which is great if you don't mind the need for an additional tool just to keep track of hours.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management, my personal to do list, and bug tracker for clients. At one time I was also using Asana to manage my Sales workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot! Fortunately free accounts are not completely unusable like on some websites that have a free option.
Solid Task List
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the satisfaction of the reward animation as well as the project tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Subtasks don't seem to be integrated into the overall calendar system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall efficiency for our team. Project management and increasing the organizational skills of our team.
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
It is really easy to create tasks to remind me of little things I might otherwise forget to do later
What do you dislike about the product?
When people reply to an emailed task, it reassigns the task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a really good way for our boss to assign a task to the team and different people to chime in on where they are with their portion of the project, so you know what's been done and what remains.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool for collaborating on projects where you need constant updates, and also great as a to do list.
Good Project Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I think the boards format is excellent. It allows me and other teams to organize their projects their way while other teams assign tasks over to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
In order to assign a task to another team you need to be a member. After 15 members you need to upgrade each team to a plan. That seems punitive when I only need to assign a task. Teams should just be those people who work on the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for marketing project management. It works well enough. We complete campaigns and interface with our designers in our remote offices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Let the users trial it, not leadership. They will be the ones who need to understand its elements and whether it works for your company needs.
Keeps me (and my team) organized
What do you like best about the product?
Communicating with team members without clogging up my e-mail. You can attach files, and add quick notes, which automatically notifies those that are included on the project or task.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is more user error, but for this software to be successful, everyone on the team or involved in the project must be on board. Sometimes the e-mail alerts get a little repetitive, and I prefer the notifications on my phone, but this may just be a personal preference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me (and my team) hold ourselves accountable and also keeps an organized and easily accessed record of all of our projects and steps completed.
Asana keeps our department connected.
What do you like best about the product?
Great platform for keeping track of ongoing department projects/assignments. You're able to see who has been assigned what and when tasks have been completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a great product, but it is one more for me to keep track of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use to help track projects and activities discussed in weekly departmental meetings.
