Simple -Point and click project/task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simply it is to see/assign task (and subtask) to people in your org and group, and external consultants -which is another thing that makes it great --easy access sharing to projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when the simple point-and-click features that I like about Asana, actually weigh down the task, and another (connected) tool / platform has to be used for detailed follow up from Dev teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a million Google docs and google sheets all over the place, with random notes on follow up / action items in random columns.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't look for Asana to solve all of your PM workflow issues if you work within in a diverse company/start up with cross platform needs (Biz Dev, talking to Tech/Engineering, etc). Its better than most point-and-click platforms,, but still not a great solution for heavy development tracking for tech based starts ups.

Great user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Delegating is a core competency these days, and Asana makes that easy. When working with offsite teams or larger groups on key projects with can't-be-missed deadlines, Asana is perfect. Their mobile app is also quite useful for participating in projects on the go. It's a very text-based tool, so go with Asana (vs. more visual tools) if you like making lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
More features = more clutter, and the interface definitely got clunkier as tools got more sophisticated. Some things (like adding subheads to tasks within a project) aren't intuitive, but another good thing about Asana is you can always undo your mistakes!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating is easier with Asana, especially with offsite folks. Task management and assignment
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you like a text-based tool for your project management, go with Asana. It's not as visual as other tools, but that's something that I really liked about it.
Asana makes the ride worthwhile
What do you like best about the product?
The app function of Asana is awesome! It's very useful for task management and updating projects, even when you're not on your desk. Ideal for team setups that are spread out in different locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
None - I've had a very positive experience with the tool thus far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Best software for solving task management. It works in small teams and I think with good governance it can work with larger ones.
Excelente aplicacion
What do you like best about the product?
lo que me gusta más es la facilidad de uso y la fácil comunicación con mis colaboradores para el manejo de las actividades, constantemente me permite estar activo en mis actividades y asignarle a mis compañeros actividades para que podamos estar sincronizados casi instantáneamente. La facilidad de crear perfiles en el sistema es muy bueno, aunque preferiría que se pudiese centralizar la activación de usuarios y que no se tengan que separar las actividades pendientes por vistas de empresa

The ease of creating profiles in the system is very good, although I would prefer to centralize the activation of users and do not have to separate the pending activities by company views

What do you dislike about the product?
La poca personalización de las notificaciones, creo que es algo que se puede mejorar, al igual que las vistas para determinar las actividades más urgentes, seria bueno incluir alguna manera de priorizar actividades de tal manera que podamos darle atención a las mas importantes. Otro punto a mejorar es la posibilidad de darle avance a las tareas, hay veces que no logro terminar una actividad pero esta en un 75% y no tengo como hacerlo saber
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mejora en la asignación de actividades, es muy buena para ir dejando el historial de aquello que ya culminamos, además mantener las actividades ordenadas para saber cual es la que se vence primero
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Es necesario terminar de pulir la estética de la app y quizás crear una versión de escritorio
Great collaboration tool with robust options
What do you like best about the product?
I love the depth of detail I can add to Asana. I can create projects, tasks, subtasks, etc. and keep tabs on everything as the project leader. I can assign my colleagues to each line item, add a due date, and keep track of the workflow across multiple projects at the same time with relative ease. I like the mobile app, as well!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the level of detail is confusing for my colleagues, but I would venture to guess this is a people problem, not a software problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've eliminated too many cooks in the kitchen, and I can delegate quickly and efficiently without writing 10 emails.
Excellent for planning and project tracking
What do you like best about the product?
It is simplicity, it is very intuitive, easy to use and user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know it is out of the scope of the site, but it would be nice to have the capability of doing real-time interaction with other team member
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To stay on track, we are a pretty large lab and being on the same page (timewise) is very useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It could be very useful to build in other capabilities for communication with other team members.
This is a glorified checklist that far from intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana terribly difficult to use and spend more time trying to navigate it then using it for task management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just about everything. Its not intuitive. Its not organized like your brain. Its overly compicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's used for project management. All the info is sort of in one place but its just one more place to look for things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would not recommend using this.
Asana has saved my business 10x over
What do you like best about the product?
No matter which projects I am running, I never let things fall through the cracks thanks to Asana. Before it, I couldn't expand my business, my mind was crammed to the brim and I was scrambling to stay on top of all my clients. Now it's smooth sailing and, best of all, FREE of charge.
What do you dislike about the product?
My clients easily become overwhelmed with tasks if I delegate, so I use Asana solo only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love Asana for MY business, but not in others' businesses. It does not integrate with email and causes overwhelm to others who are new to the program.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Align with teamwork and have email integrations
Great and flexible project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Clear UI, easy to collaborate. We can use Asana for a variety of tasks and then template those tasks to save time in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be hard to organize projects in the sidebar when there are many of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We publish a large number of open access journals and need to coordinate this work across a growing team. Asana lets us both track and assign work much more flexibly with less hierarchy.
Great Organization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to track many different lists and be able to comment with fellow team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you do have a lot of lists, it can be difficult to keep track of all your tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped better organize what needs to be done on all of our various projects. Instead of relying on email, Asana allows us to keep everything that needs done in front of the entire team.
