Asana
What do you like best about the product?
With Asana, you could enlist all of your project tasks annd assign it to a teammate.Plus you could also attach a file to each task.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no instant screenshot of where everyone is. A one-stop dashboard would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you just need to keep track of what your team is doing within the project, then you may want to use this product.
Asana is a clear and concise task management program
What do you like best about the product?
I like interactive team elements of asana (i.e. the ability to tag people in comments, add various followers, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team actually uses the comment area of each task pretty heavily for project-related communication. It'd be nice if there was a way to make this more robust or organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company is all remote, so Asana is the main way we assign, organize, and communicate about tasks.
Awesome Experience for Project Management

I love the ability to quickly and easily see the tasks that I need to accomplish for my clients.

I wish there was an easier way to integrate my different clients' projects and tasks onto one page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a VA so I save my clients time and essentially money because they are focused on the tasks that drive their businesses forward.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I want to have all my client projects on one page, or on my own portal if possible.
Effective Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks, assign to individuals and keep everyone up-to-date on progress. Asana sends you email reminders and updates on tasks that you're following and notifies you of overdue tasks. This program helps keep teams on track with project deadlines while keeping everyone in the loop with progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a great integration with external calendars. Have had problems in the past with syncing Asana task deadlines to Microsoft Outlook calendar. Also lacks capability to assign multiple individuals the same task. Has functions similar to email messaging but lacks integration to completely eliminate need for email
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides the ability for teams to keep track of what projects and tasks all team members are working on at the time. Supervisors can use this tool to monitor workloads and progress on projects so deadlines are met in a timely manner. This is a way to keep tasks organized so nothing gets lost or forgotten. Asana also sends email reminders regarding tasks with pending due dates or tasks that are overdue. Asana has been very helpful in making our team more efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not the easiest to use at first. You can only assign a task to one individual at a time. Calendar integrations are not flawless.
Asana is a must have for Scrum Projects!
What do you like best about the product?
Recommended for engineers & project managers alike! Our team uses Asana for projects because of it's ease of use, ability to organize by projects, tags, & labels, and the easy navigational tools like search.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Asana is not as visually appealing as Basecamp
- Users cannot preview attachments
- Platform does not use the concept of sprints well

Good - but i would like it integrated with outlook
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to collaborate with my employees. It gives us the opportunity to say on track and everyone knows where we are at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to integrate with outlook for deadlines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing me to see what my employees are doing without micromanaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Deeper dive on how to use the software as an on-demand video
Absolutely necessary tool for internal time management and project organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an essential tool in my arsenal for project management - I find the ability to separate tasks out into "projects" as the most valuable aspect of Asana. Having multiple assignments can be overwhelming and burdensome but the ability to separate into "projects" and the ability to have multiple tasks assigned to each "project" allows me to think in smaller chunks and accomplish more overall.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more obvious reminders for overdue tasks. I currently have several overdue tasks that fall into the background and off my radar- a stronger "overdue" notification would benefit me and keep me on target (especially for daily or weekly tasks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage both longer and shorter term projects. I specifically use Asana to assign tasks between team members, manage projects, and set timelines/goals.
Good for task management, not so much for Projects
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very easy to use and adding/editing/updating tasks is very efficient. As a tool to organize your daily tasks it is very good. Adding / removing members to projects is easy and we like the fact that updates can be done directly from Outlook by replying to an email.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wanted to use Asana as a Project and Resource management tool, specifically for sharing organization calendars. This is not its strength. It is not easy to get a top down view of projects on the go for our senior management team. It's also not very customizable for how much information is included in Projects so we had to find creative ways to accomplish this, which adds complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to solve multiple problems, beginning with a centralized project management solution but also gaining visibility into a high level list of projects that are on the go at any given time using the calendar. While task management is great, we were not able to fully deploy it in the way we wanted to solve our problems.
Best Tool for Managing Your Workload
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to plan my projects, repeat tasks, organize my client work, plan my weekly schedule, add clients + other freelancers and see everything I need to complete with one glance. I also like the new boards (similar to Trello) feature I use it to brainstorm blog post topics, set up my editorial calendar, plan my newsletter, and create my social media content calendar.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like the features included with the yearly price (the editorial calendar template, specifically), but it is a little high for one person or solopreneur to use for just her. I wish I could see repeated tasks listed instead of showing up after completion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps all my projects organized, client work and I even have calendars just for my blog posts and social media content. I don't have to use other tools and everything is in one place. I love that I can double check tasks or my schedule from my smartphone.

Give it a try you will love it!
