Asana's Versatility and Structure Keeps Us Organized
What do you like best about the product?
Admittedly, Asana was not my first choice in task management, but the recent updates and iterations to the platform have really helped myself and my team streamline our projects. It helps to see what kind of tasks we have outstanding and definitely gives us a boost in dopamine when we check off finished tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface, while vastly improved from a few years ago, is still not as highly intuitive for some people. I can see how other people would become disgruntled using Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our business tasks in one place -- it has helped us keep our projects organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch their tutorial videos and ask other more avid Asana users how they use their Asana platform.

Confusing
What do you like best about the product?
There are a ton of features, and it's got the ability to help you coordinate a lot of tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not well organized for supervisors. For management to find the completed tasks and just see where projects were was harder than it should have been.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The team was spread out and worked on projects with multiple deadlines. While Asana seemed great, it took too much time to figure out if people had completed tasks on deadline and where those tasks could be seen easily by management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Research how easily it is for management to supervise, not just for coworkers to collaborate.
Asana is how I work well with my team and my clients
What do you like best about the product?
It's free! Recurring tasks! Check marks!
What do you dislike about the product?
Little time consuming to set up, but once I got the hang of it It was great. I need to find more tutorials online to use it to it's potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like how it shows me due dates and lets me assign thing to my team
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely I recommend it all the time
Simple, great for complex projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a simple concept and easy to use. It's essentially a way better version of a simple task list. It's simple interface of just typing in the task to do, setting a due date, and a person responsible makes me more likely to use it every day. There are advanced features that make this more powerful when used by all.
What do you dislike about the product?
The notification settings are a little difficult to customize. When you first get your account, it can feel like an "all or nothing" situation with the notifications. You either get notified constantly or not at all. It is time-consuming to customize your notification for each project. Our team has 30+ projects. It's unreasonable to think that top-level people on the teams will do this, which ultimately means less buy-in across the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're running large-scale higher education events by planning in Asana. We are able to be very transparent about everyone's task list and how they are keeping up-to-date on responsibilities. Also, we are able to eliminate a lot of team emails. We no longer need to email each other to ask someone to do something. We just put it in Asana.

Beyond compare
What do you like best about the product?
After using a variety of PM tools, Asana is the ONLY tool that integrates capabilities like file storage (drive, box, dropbox), time tracking (harvest), and gant charts (instagant) into one easy to use tool. Projects are easily drilled down into smaller tasks using sub tasks and conversations kept in line.
What do you dislike about the product?
No ability to assign multiple users to a task, dependencies don't push out due dates of top level task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping conversations out of email creates total transparency within a team. It's comforting that if I'm ever on PTO or OOO, my team doesn't miss a beat because I've kept all my resources easily accessible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use the available integrations to your advantage
Great Project Management Tool!

What do you dislike about the product?
More abilities on free version before paying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better team communication
Simple and Easy for non techies to use
What do you like best about the product?
The way that Asana allows you to group your lists, conversations, per project I have found to be so much easier to manage than a product like Trello
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you can't cut and paste an image into the conversation and instead have to upload it. Allowing us to drop a screen capture in would be a great enhancement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultant working with different companies and projects this allows me and the customer to see what is being done and I can more easily organize conversations than I can in email
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a free tool that integrates with Slack this is it. You won't regret it. I really love how you can keep your conversations under the project. It makes it so easy to manage thoughts and back and forth.
Asana + Loom has saved my email inbox!

I love using Asana to communicate with clients and team members regarding projects. I use it the most to give my assistant projects + tasks and keep her on track with goals
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the app, the app is a little clunky to use and my clients have complained about using it too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating with team members and clients. It keep my virtual assistant on track and me on track with my clients goals and tasks!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The app is a little clunky and has a high learning curve for new users. A lot of my clients won't use it and will only use the website. If it had better UX/UI design with the app, I would use it more.
Good for freelancers

This is a great task software because it allows you to connect up with multiple customers and if your a sub -contractor allows you to permit customers to have access to certain tasks as well.

The usability is sometimes difficult to understand
