Asana - Task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The work team is often not in the same office. Asana handles team conversations around projects in motion very well.
We also run an electrical integration and software integration business. These are different disciplines requiring different dashboards. We can do this with Asana.
We also use the Team Calendar for tracking basic resource availability.

What do you dislike about the product?
For task management it is great but for scheduling it is light.
Task notifications are by email. For super critical, unplanned tasks we still use the phone. Why not include sms messaging for things that can't wait for an email check?

Terrific Tool for Managing Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for managing projects, whether you are the only "human" resource, or there are resources shared across multiple projects or company entities. There are iOS, Android and web apps that allow you to access your project information from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The iOS interface is clean, but "too simple." It leaves many features invisible, and can increase the learning curve for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this product to act as a resource for a project that is run by someone else. It allows me to see the tasks others on the project are working on and who may be waiting for me to complete my work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you allow sufficient time for users to learn the software and how your company will implement it!
Asana makes adulting easy!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy Asana makes it manage task but also separate those task into projects and even more granular or more robust categorization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish Asana would allow custom repetition. I would love to have certain tasks repeat 6 months (or even maybe 3 years, whatever I deem appropriate. Maybe 104 days?) after last completed, but for now it can only follow the completion of a task by up to two months I believe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps organize my teams and also helps me coordinate with other directors to make sure we can work in conjunction with each other on a task without stepping on one-another's toes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so easy to use and the price is right!
Start up tool
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that we could all work remotely, but be on the same page as far as projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes all the projects got out of control (user error) and there so many things going at one time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We set up alot of systems and procedures with Asana. It helped when we all needed to be working on something at once and were dependant on other's progress to continue working.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that everyone using the software is on the same page, do a group training together.
Gorgeous Project Management Software!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a heavy right-brainer, so the colors and intuitive interface are my favorite elements (oh and the characters that fly across my screen every few tasks!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Truthfully, I've become so accustomed to it now that I don't have anything I would change!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems of letting little tasks fall through the cracks are solved with Asana...they stay there in a "to-do list" of sorts until it's done. It's been great for everyone to see the items that are undone.
My favorite project management program
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is professional and looks nice and sleek. It is easy to use. I like that you can assign tasks to specific people and keep track of who's working on what with deadlines showing as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you can't change the type of project view once you start it. The type of view has to stay the same. I wish you can assign a project to more than one person in case there are multiple project managers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management
Good way of keeping track what needs to be done and when

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana, like other project management programs, is only useful if you use it to its fullest. Don't add some projects, but not others.
Collaboration and Project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Well designed for team workflows and task management. Fast and responsive, and extremely easy to learn. Great dashboard provides high-level overview of tasks history. You can assign people to tasks and set deadlines, and the app sends out email reminders to the task owners on a regular basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no desktop app.
There are so many capabilities, and it can sometimes be a little confusing in determining what will work best for me and my team.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has greatly helped my team and I with our project task management. It's extremely dependable and takes a lot of the disorganization and confusion out of project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My team and I use Asana in combination with Toggl for time tracking and reporting. This really helps maintain accountability and provides visibility as to where you should be more or less amount of time.
Great way to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to organize tasks and subtasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish my to do list would automatically sort by due date. I also wish there was a "I'm done, pending approval" option on each task instead of just checking something off and having it disappear. I don't like knowing I finished everything but still have things in my to do list that look overdue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to stay better organized as an agency. I used to upload design proofs to Slack - they would then get lost as the conversation continued and I'd constantly have to hunt for things I needed. There would also be a lot of cross conversations. With Asana, everything has its own place so I don't have a hard time finding everything.
Simple and effective
What do you like best about the product?
I like that is self explanatory, there is no clutter, you know what to do at every screen, compared to Base camp this is 10 x better. User interface is also sweet and nicer, it has all needed information and not cluttered with every time stamp, too many icons and so on..
What do you dislike about the product?
Well not many things, sometimes I just find it it spams a lot with notifications, ( default ones, I never actually tried to adjust them ).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It eases out communication and being in the loop with the team. For example skype chats and group chats tend to loose information, with asana (or other similar software) important information is visible and it does't have much unnecessary trash chats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are in doubt between basecamp and Asana, go with Asana!
Asana is the best!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way Asana makes it easy for my team, my clients and myself to know what they need to do. Plus, it's great for braindumps and brainstorming, and makes it easy to organize my thoughts and ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software can be slow to load and switch projects. I wish there was a downloadable, offline version that would work faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps us organized and makes sure we don't miss deadlines. It lets us know who's responsible for what, and keeps a permanent log of our conversations with clients - no more digging through a thousand emails!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! It's so easy to get started - you'll know immediately if it's a fit for your businesses needs.
