Ideal project management for you!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has great things that make you really love working on it. One of those things is the ease of use. You can add as many tasks as you want, edit them, set the dates, scope, and description of the task, among others. On the other hand, you can not only have them individually but you can add several people to the same project through their emails, and in that way allow establish responsibility for the tasks of the project and send information about the task to those responsible for the tasks, noting how the progress of their work has been.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I do not like is that at the beginning it is not so easy to use. This facility is taken with experience, but once you know how to use it is super easy. Another thing that I do not like is the fact that the email you receive about the progress of the tasks has very little information about the task. I think I should have the name of the project and the dates set for it at least.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
you really learn to be much more organized with your projects, even with personal things that can become much easier if organized by asana
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it easily. No matter if you are a student or you are the CEO of a company because there you can easily establish a schedule of how things will happen with respect to the project.
Asasna lets you wade in the shollow end until you're ready to dive into the depths
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is super easy to get started with. It is great for newly forming startups (both companies and teams) because there is a lot of value in shallow understanding of the features, but when you get using the system more heavily there is additional depth.
There are a tone of opportunities for customization and those are easy to understand when you're ready.

What do you dislike about the product?
The customization can also work to make the system more complex. Be wary of adding too many fields as they become burdensome.
When we wanted o have full fidelity of information between Jira and Asana, that was problematic. We also need to have better reporting and the ability to roll up information at the project and program levels.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed something very fast. Something we didn't have to train on and something that was reasonable in terms of expense. We were used it to deploy our solution to customers using a Kan ban on Asana. It worked great on an individual customer basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great if you don't have really intense requirements. There is a ton of integration through apps in their marketplace as well as the larger marketplace. If Asana doesn't have the app, chances are the other side does. It is much better when they both contribute and have a shared integration story.
When think Asana doesn't quite hit they mark, they have a team ready and willing to help you understand how you can accomplish something in the tool. If they don't do it, they were very helpful in terms of recommendations.

Ease of Use, getting things done
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of the software. It is easy to navigate through and the search function is spectacular. The notification system is something that really helped Users get tasks finished at the end of the day. The User interface is obviously designed with the consumer in mind. I am able to easily collaborate with every member on my team : Enigneers, CEO, Sales, Marketing, HR, and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how we cant change the font size sometimes. It is frustrating because sometimes we need to emphasize something or sometimes we need to go out of or way to bring attention to another thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are more efficiently hitting and solving our business objectives. Day by day tasks are more clear and overall it seems likes employees are satisfied in terms with their OKR's. The benefits all and all come down to a injection of productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to everybody.
Simple but effective adhoc task management, flexible
What do you like best about the product?
When I was first introduced to Kanban a number of years ago, there wasn't any really easy to use software out there that I liked, until I was introduced to Asana. The notifications, project visualizations and overall UI is superb. They also continue to advance the product, some of the newer project management features and the things on the road map are particularly exciting.
What do you dislike about the product?
For non technical people who are used to working in email, it can be a difficult learning curve, but if you stick with it (them), they get the hang as soon as the concept clicks for them. I'd like to see more templates made available for starting projects with boards, there are a few good ones now, but there could be so many more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting work tasks, especially adhoc tasks, out of email and into a trackable system so that everyone on the team knows what is done, what is being worked on and what isn't. It makes the whole team more efficient. It also helps with alignment and communications broadly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of boards, I suggest reviewing all the videos they have that explain some of the kanban concepts as well as how different types of people use it. You might also be interested in going to Youtube and searching for how to get the most out of kanban or how to get the most out of Asana. There are a lot of videos and user reviews out there beyond this site and some fantastic guides.
The best out there - but still more room to grow.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple - allows hierarchical viewing.

Keeping track of Projects
Giving assignments and tracking progress
Giving assignments and tracking progress
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you test software like this you need to go "all-in" for a month or so - you can't "play around" with it .. you need to manage everything with it. If you are in a big group - then make a smaller beta group first
Great Project Management But Still Relying On Emails
What do you like best about the product?
What I like is how easy it is to setup and manage projects across a team of people. Asana makes it fun for the user as well with their integrations and themes. It is more engaging than a lot of other task management softwares
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do wish they would implement desktop notifications. One of the biggest things for me is to stay out of my email but that is really the only way to be notified from Asana. Sure, you could just live in the program but I’m using different applications at the same time. Could use the phone notifications but I already get enough of them!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost is a centralized locations for task management for all employees, as well as an easy platform to quickly share relevant documents on the go
Asana helps me organize projects and make lists
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
Project Management System for Your Whole Team!
What do you like best about the product?
Each project is listed, with each task that is needed. We are able to set up templates and copy those for projects that have like tasks, but yet, we can add in new tasks or adjust or change after we copy the template. Overall Asana provides us with a lot of options for all the project we work on for all our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time, I really don't have anything I don't like. We've been using it company wide for over a month and it has helped us to stay more on top of our projects, but seeing our "My Tasks" tab which also provides you with a way to organize and categorize the tasks that is listed specifically for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complete tasks on time. Assign tasks to team members to ensure that a step or task is not missed during our project scope for what we've agreed to complete for clients. We also use Asana with our clients, and to date, it's working nicely to give them the inner view of how the project is proceeding, which we update them each week with a weekly report, but they can check Asana whenever they'd like as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a Project Management system that will allow you to provide your team with the best of both worlds - giving them their tasks and have everything in one system for task driven completion, then hands down, Asana is a smart choice.
Great for productivity - initial learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to project manage all of my various projects on the go in one place. Being able to upload deliverables within a thread made it a streamlined proccess and cut down on unnecessary internal emails. Also made sure everyone knew what their role was within each project and when they had to complete certain milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was a new employee and was introduced to Asana I found it overwhelming. It took me a while to understand all of the functions and commit myself to checking in and staying on top of my to-do lists and calendars each day ... perhaps prompts would've helped with this?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlined communication, centralized doscuments, conversation threads. The best part was cutting down on internal emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Commit to making it part of your daily schedule. Make it part of your morning routine when you get to work by checking it just like you would check your email. It will help you hold yourself accountable and maximize your productivity.
Great organizational tool with a wide variety of free features.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides all of the basic tools that you need to organize a project free of charge. You will find the basic elements you expect to see in a project management tool. Tasks can be setup in a list or card style, and assigned to team members. You can easily create multiple projects for a team. Files can be directly linked to a task, and a files area is available to view all shared files in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from free to paid is steep as it is billed by user. Being a web application is a good thing making asana compatible with almost every device, but the lack of a desktop application is frustrating. Integrations are offered through a wide variety of applications, but usually at an additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana organizes our team, and allows us to see what one another is working on at the moment. It helps the team achieve their deadlines, and keep our schedules in sync.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for project management with a clean intuitive interface give asana a try. You can fully organize a team using asana, but if you want to integrate with other tools or have asana integrated into another tool be prepared to purchase a premium subscription.
