My Asana experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interface the most. It was always easy to use and I could find ways to customize my experience along with my staff's experience very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that they would add start dates and I wish that they would add other more advanced project management features into the product, even if it is an optional set of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Asana for multiple different types of projects at work. I have used it for general team management uses as well as delivering technology development projects. In all of the cases, I was able to use the software to fulfill the requirements that I had for the effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a flexible project management software that can meet many different needs, has a mobile app and can integrate with lots of other services for a low cost than Asana may just be the right tool for your team.

Good Project Management Tool for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows our team to easily manage various workflows and projects for repeatable tasks. It is easy to use and very easy to explain to new team members. The integration with Google drive is helpful for us, as we can link to our file repository without creating added confusion.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful, for the dynamics of our team, for Asana to have the ability to send our reminder emails for tasks to be completed not only to the owner of the task but also to a delegate (or manager in some cases).
It would also be helpful if Asana were able to automatically populate due-dates for subtasks based on when a project is supposed to be completed. For instance, if we are looking to update a web page on June 1, it would be helpful if the due date for final website content was automatically populated two weeks before that. It would eliminate much of the manual, clerical work that is needed to properly maintain Asana for our team.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the tool to manage website development, graphics support, and various other marketing activities that can be templatized and are relatively cookie-cutter.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is very easy to use and get started with, and there is almost no downside to trialing a free version of Asana. I'd recomend that to new users so that they are familiar with how the platform works.

Easy To Use
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's UI is very simple. It makes finding creating tasks, checking them as complete and collaboration easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of right now I'm loving Asana and don't have any dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Weekly check-in's with my team are made easier with Asana
Good free version, but performance issues abound
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very simple to get setup and start using, which is one of the main reasons we used it. Tasks are easy to create, add custom fields to, attach files and place in relevant projects. Looking up a past task is easy as well thanks to the robust global search.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance takes a nosedive as the company got larger. Tasks would take 10-20 seconds plus to open, and it was slowing down productivity. Frequent forced logouts and page crashes abound as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a project and bug tracker that was free and simple to use with an Agile methodology.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be ready to deal with performance issues as your dataset gets large.
Great way to collaborate on complex projects
What do you like best about the product?
How I can decide how transparent and granular to be about my process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could easily convert tasks into subtasks instead of deleting and reentering them separately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency, project architecture, granularity, process flow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It may take some time to get comfortable with it if you're used to JIRA or Trello, but it's much more user-friendly than either of those.
Helps me categorize all the work/projects I'm working on.
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly love how many layers deep you can go within even a single project in Asana. The check boxes are key for me to get things completed, and I often use Asana to not just get through basic daily work todos, but to chase down new projects and client.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a project tab for daily tasks that would refresh every day. So basic things that need tending to would start over every single day. Maybe not quite a dislike, but a wish.
Actually, one thing I dislike (at least on the basic level of membership) is that you can't assign multiple people to one task. That's a huge bummer when you are working with other people, but to assign tasks you can only assign one person. I makes it difficult for that individual to remember their tasks within that task if they're name isn't attached to it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm getting stuff done. that's the main one - I'm way more organized that I am with my previous sticky-note system. I love that you can set deadlines. Super helpful. When I do work with others, it's so great to all be on the same page with deadlines and expectations. better than sending tons of emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've heard some folks say they felt like it has a learning curve for user friendliness. I can hardly remember that since I've used it so much, but I would recommend sticking with it and committing to figuring it out. I've tried a few others and came back to this one.
The Best Project Management Platform!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana allows us to create multiple projects, tasks, and subtasks. It's really helpful that I'm able to assign certain subtasks of a project to different people with various due dates. Plus, once I archive a project, I'm always able to find it again by looking up the job number or title we created for it. Asana keeps our agency's head on. We're always able to see who did what and when to which project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no option to track time within the platform. We have to do that through a separate platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana allows us to keep track of our projects and keeps us on track with completing them on time. We've realized that we really do need something like this since no one can remember absolutely everything!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great platform for managing projects. I wish it could do more like, like keep track of our time spent on each project, but this is pretty outstanding as-is. It also keeps every project forever, even after archived so you'll never lose it!
Asana helps us at SealSmile to manage our team.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way I can easily assign tasks to my team members and track the progress online.
Also, in SealSmile we are daily using asana for communicating with remote team members.
Another great feature is the integration with plug-ins. Using them we can enrich the functionality of the platform . For example instagantt is a great plug-in that allows you to quickly create gantt charts.

What do you dislike about the product?
Well it might be tricky to follow the updates and conversations on each task. It happens to miss some important updates. I would appreciate if the guys on Asana could work a bit on that and provide a more efficient way to follow the comments on each project and task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In SealSmile we are using Asana to:
1) assign tasks to team members
2) track the team progress
3) build a shared knowledge base.

Intuitive and keeps us on track
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy to use! It hardly takes any training and you can be up and running really fast. The calendar is a great way to see things at a glance, and being able to highlight activities the same color is a nice feature. I love their hacks and celebrations, making project management fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do a lot of events that run 2-3 days, so it would be nice to be able to set a date range instead of only a single day
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deadlines were being missed and items were being forgotten before implementing Asana. We are now able to stay on track of items and have utilized this over email so that everything is track and not lost in an inbox.
