Asana Usabilty
What do you like best about the product?
I love the colors and regular updates that I receive via email. I also like how you can share and comment on files instead of using a long confusing email chain.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of how the tasks disappear when they are completed. I mean the best part of writing a to-do list is crossing off the tasks and seeing how much you've accomplished!! I think it would be helpful to be able to share and see the completed tasks with colleagues and bosses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I design content for 10-15 articles on a health and wellness site everyday. It helps to share files with all the different writers in one place. Feedback is received in a more organized fashion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take advantage of this product in your everyday life, not just work! I use it to remind myself of birthdays, shopping lists and tons of other random personal tasks.
Asana helps you stay on track
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you're able to make lists and check them off. You're able to add others into your group to view these lists, so you can make sure time is being used efficiently. I love the design, especially the narwhal and unicorn animations that create excitement when you finish a task.I love that I could use it on any device like the office computer, my personal laptop, and even on the go through their app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I forget how to do things on Asana, so it can be a little confusing and takes some time to get accustomed to using all the features. Some features on the app do not work as well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized and finishing tasks is made possible by Asana. Especially since my coworkers and I only meet in person 3 hours per day twice a week, it ensures the information we need from each other is communicated by asking for it. It helps develop a plan to complete the goal by having it laid out ahead of time before beginning the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for staying on track and developing a plan ahead of time for the team or for yourself in completing a project successfully. You can use it on a desktop, laptop, and cell phone.
Mostly good, tends to lag sometimes

How easily we can organize and manage individual projects. Perfect for freelancing
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface can be buggy sometimes, may have tod with adblock?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very beneficial when organizing different tasks for different areas.
Best software to manage projects with individual + team tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the platform feels social. The ability to like, comment, and follow tasks is very intuitive and makes working together as a team using this software feel personal.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the admin, I oversee all the projects. I wish there was a better dashboard in terms of at-a-glance stats to see the progress of the projects. Maybe something visual showing me the % of the project that has been completed and where we are on a timeline in terms of deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this to manage basically all of our projects and tasks, both as individuals and a team. It's so much better than sending emails back and forth and trying to keep up with long email chains.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So great! No risks in trying it out since its free.
Missing a Protuguese localization

Esasy, very instinctive, no need of an advanced couse to start and the hability to sincronize with several devices at the same accont.

Asana, and the choices we make
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the clean UI of the platform and the messaging feature within the tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had a tough time with the vertical layout of Asana, and ever since they switched to boards it has been great for new projects, but transferring our large projects to that form would take too much time. We also have lost subtasks of stories. I have written a few and my team has not been able to see them. We recently realized that we have to attribute that task/story to the main one for it to show up in the list. This should be obvious. I also wish there was more integrations or a way to connect our financials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build and design software applications large and small.
Quality task management software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use for new team members, so the UI is a big win.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not as robust as a JIRA system, but better than Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing new ideas and team input across our Client Success department. It's a great tool for showing progress along our workflows, but not alot of customization beyond that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a better tool than Trello but not quite as robust as JIRA.
Excellent Task Management Software -- If Used Diligently
What do you like best about the product?
Task-oriented, ability to track and record
What do you dislike about the product?
Still need adherence to the tool (like any tool) and best practices/organization to keep consistent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, accountability. Great tool to break down tasks and keep project managers and their teams accountable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great task management software -- but it requires user adherence to best practices and may also require a project manager who can follow-up and ensure accountability. This is particularly true when users are new to Asana and companies are utilizing the basic (free -- not premium) version of Asana. Would recommend fully utilizing the Asana website, tutorials, and videos and implementing best practices company-wide to get the most out of the Asana.
