Keeping Up With Your Stuff for Dumbies
What do you like best about the product?
How simple and straight-forward Asana is. You have a task. You can have subtasks. You can have categories for your tasks. You can have different tasks for different teams. You get emailed when a task is about to be due or is overdue. It's like there's no way you could mess this up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really anything. Could Asana do my tasks for me? Could their app take up less space on my phone? It's overall a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The "forgetting a very small task" problem is now almost non-existent. Sometimes my boss will have a task as simple and small as 'hey go get this book for me from downstairs' and if I don't do it right that second, I might forget. But it takes her two seconds to add that as a task for me to complete that day, so when I check Asana before I leave it reminds me! Easy.

We use this tool to collaborate on future documents being made available for the public and is used in it's separate environment so not to get bogged down on the day to day workflow of our jobs.
Best Task Manager Availible
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for both individuals and teams. You can track the progress of any project you are working on using the easiest UI I've ever touched. I suggest Asana to everyone I know.
What do you dislike about the product?
I actually can't really think of anything that Asana does wrong, and I'm only typing here to meet the word minimum. I've used both the paid and free version and both are fantastic. No tricks or micro transactions. I love them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a big project person. I like to see all levels of a process, and I need to know which steps are getting ignore. Asana is great for this whether I'm working alone or with a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You might as well just try it. Asana has a mobile app as well that is a fantastic companion. I will point out that I use Mindly as well as a starting point, but I no longer return to Trello as Asana's boards are much better.
Modern Software Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface of the product. Its great for mobile meeting and keep track of projects. It is very easy to use. I was able to learn quickly how to use the product with little training.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to share things on the software. Also it can be hard to share between groups on the app. Sometimes it can be hard to find things and you might not be able to find things you uploaded. I had trouble searching for file using the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its great for working with people on the road or people who work from home. It also because you can plan conferences see the different moving pieces need to make the conference possible. You can also track what other people on other teams are doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it easier to find flies and share different formats.
Basic but effective

This app lays out tasks in a way that is helpful for visual learners.
What do you dislike about the product?
This app is very basic in its functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking courses of work. It is helpful to see what others are doing on a daily basis
Useful for Marketing Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows for cross departmental collaboration through projects. I like that I can assign duties to those beyond my team and still hold them accountable on a project (like blog contributions, PR, and promotional timelines). The interface is clean, easy to use, and customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Asana were able to show a single person's scale as it pertains to projects. For example, at what point am I getting more tasks than I can complete? How can I justify to leadership that I need to grow my team or reprioritize duties? To try and track this I've created a standalone project in Asana that I put all of my weekly tasks into. As they're completed I can see the 'progress' of projects listed vs. completed. So far I'm getting by, but I'd like to take it a step further and track those projects by type without creating new project lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning to manage the marketing department with Asana. I'm experimenting with tracking which types of tasks occur most in a role and when it's reached maximum capacity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Other task management tools on the market are free. If you're looking to implement Asana, experiment with those tools, find what you like about them or what's missing. Use that experience to shape your implementation with Asana.
Excellent Project Management and Team Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I used Asana before the UI/UX updates, and I think they made huge improvements with the layout and project management side of the platform. I like that it's free to a point, which allows you to figure the tool out and bring your team up to speed. Overall, a great platform for keeping all your projects and teams in line.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the team communication piece of Asana, but they have integrated with my favorite communication tool, Slack. It does provide a fix for their issues, but causes you to have more than one platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me stay on time and up to date with my projects. I was able to keep my team updated on tasks and completion dates easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Connect Slack to make it a complete team communication tool.

Asana gives us the ability to communicate with all levels of management. It allows us to find new and interesting ways to solve problems

Sometimes the structure of the projects can get a little confusing for newer users. Generally after a little bit of training and time using the product it gets easier
