Good for specific projects with concrete tasks and meeting agendas
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana can act as a to-do list for specific projects
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the interface of the app itself; it's not as intuitive as it could be
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team is charged with organizing a website redesign project and we've used Asana to organize our thoughts and action items, while storing and sharing files as well as meeting agendas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend exploring the app before you switch all your communications and organization over to it. Make sure that it has all the capabilities you will need; Asana seems to be a lighter app in my opinion, offering the minimum of task lists, shared files, and group conversations. I don't know that it allows much more than that, and many of those things are offered in a number of other apps anyway

Great tool that makes project planning easier

Ability to create task lists or boards; ability to assign tasks to different people; ability to create projects, tasks and subtasks to further breakdown the anatomy of a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inability to assign multiple people to a task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our team moves into a mix of remote and in-office work, Asana makes is easier to keep track of all our projects and everyone's unique role in them. It is also a great way to keep people in the loop without having a ton of meetings and eating up valuable work time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product of anyone looking to streamline their project management and keep their team in the loop and on-task without wasting time with a ton of meetings. You can plot out entire long-term projects from start to finish and assign different members to different tasks, which makes it a great way to see the whole picture of a project while also making sure that every detail is accounted for.
Love the product!
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly. I worked for a while as a VA (Virtual Assistant) so it was a great tool to work with. I was able to keep track of my hours i worked for each project and I was able to invoice my clients with ease. That was the part that was making me more nervous but Asana took care of that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can recall really. The pricing was a little expensive for me, since I just started working and trying to enter a new arena.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was easier to log the hours I worked and then invoice the client. It is a great tool for start-ups and even bigger
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I absolutely recommend it, especially if you are working remote or you are your own boss. The support is excellent, so take advantage of that.
Asana is great for keeping track of projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to assign tasks to my co-workers and also keep track of my own tasks. It's easy to see where others are on a project. You get a sense of accomplishment when checking off tasks and you can reference completed tasks at a later time. It's easy to get notified when projects are assigned to you..
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a lot of projects going at one time, it can get overwhelming at times. It also can only be used efficiently if everyone uses the software to the best of their ability. If only one person is using it, it isn't as awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of team goals and group projects.
Convenient way to coordinate projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to talk back and forth about a lot of different tasks at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the organizational system is a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving coordination issues for start-up as part of a group of psychologists in private practice.
Asana works great for small teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has several interesting capabilities--I particularly like the Team Calendar and Conversations option. I found the interface super easy to use and I've had no issues assigning tasks and projects to team members. I also like that you can upload documents to specific conversations and threads, which really helps to limit email clutter.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to other project management platforms, Asana does not offer Gantt chart options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to optimize team performance and communication.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, I would recommend.
Functional and great for teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to create separate to do lists for different projects. These can even be created within different teams so that lists are always streamlined to the right people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot create calendar invites for meetings, phone calls, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows me to stay organized for my tasks and other team tasks for various projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool for organizing multiple projects across teams - have one user set up the teams and then invite others to join.
Asana Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can visually see the tasks I create. It lets me assign tasks to various users as well which is nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would not allow team members to reschedule tasks/move project timelines and there were stricter permissions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved project and team management issues, especially with a remote/virtually based team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Engage multiple team members.
Asana: Task manager and team collaboration made easy
What do you like best about the product?
At first sight, Asana can look over complicated and intimidate with all those options on the same page. In fact, after a couple of days, I found it very easy to work with and handy to follow the progress of our software development projects. I like most the conversation tab and task comments that really drop down our email exchanges. On the free version, you can work really comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is just a project manager. No CRM, no clients records. I have to use a separate CRM and match the info of the client. The client is part of any project and the main contact should be there and see the progress of his project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better work quality on our projects and better communication between members of our different teams: marketing, design, programming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for project management and task assignment. Very good team communication. Use the Free version to start with and get used to it and upgrade when/if you need it.
Project management for Marketing dept
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to check in on a project status. We were able to customize Asana to fit our working style or use their templates as they suggest. We enjoy inviting collaborators to participate as much or as little as they want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team had to agree on how to organize ourselves so we could follow the projects and tasks easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have multiple projects happening at once in Marketing so we need to stay on top of them and manage priorities. We use an Agile approach to our work and Asana complements it nicely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It took me a little while to get used to this platform, but it is worth the time. My team is mostly virtual and it is a great collaboration and project management tool.
