Excellent Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the organization in Asana and how easy it is to create projects with team members, tasks, timelines, and invite clients in to collaborate with us. The task list makes it super easy to see how your day/week looks and makes you feel accomplished when you can check something off.
What do you dislike about the product?
Conversations get lost sometimes in the news feed. When several people are collaborating on a project it's sometimes hard to loop the third person into a conversation since it can only be assigned to one person at a time. It'd be great to be able to assign one task to multiple people rather than assign a copy so that several people can be included in the alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of project time lines and people's to do lists. We also introduce bigger clients to asana to work with us in the software and they love it. They have the capability to be involved in the project and see progress as we work on it. It helps alleviate email and make sure that projects are not falling through the cracks. It is also a great communication tool for leadership in the company to keep ongoing private notes and remind ourselves of important things on a monthly/weekly basis if needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are still playing around with the pros and cons of pin boards versus lists for projects. They offer both views but you cannot switch it once you choose. Some project timelines work better on boards than others, but tasks don't disappear which is sometimes annoying. So it does take some testing on what works best for your projects and sometimes starting a project over with a new type of task list.
Project Management & Oversight
What do you like best about the product?
We use a couple different project management softwares for different teams and projects we are working on. We especially like Asana for our federal contracts in that it makes it easy to create to do lists for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it's pretty seamless and they have a good mobile app.

Using the mobile app is easier than the desktop.. We have out inspectors use ipads in the field and upload docs and images to the app inside the app. We like how easy it is to use and recomend you download to try it out.
Great software for companies to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like the functionality of it and how multiple people can work on it together. This has helped tremendously with working with my internal teams at my job. Lots of options on how to setup and organize tasks. Great mobile and desktop interfaces that connect seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some specific features that are lacking and occasionally hard to figure out how to setup something a specific way. But affordable for what you get. When a project is finished, I have not found any way to remove it from my active project or equipment list. The only way I have found is to eliminate it or stop following the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for project management, communication and collaboration. Asana is really easy to navigate with a lot of features - a great juxtaposition that can be hard to achieve. You can tell that time was spent in the user interface & experience, so that project collaboration and management can flow easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana as it's amazing at organizing and managing big group projects and keeping track of huge volumes of information. Projects can be managed into dashboards for all involved team members to access and review.
Works great for task management but needs updating
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy Asana is to use to track your progress with the project. My team and I are able to see how far we are from completion.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times I would forget to sign in so I wish there was a better notification system. Some of the features are outdated and need to have better functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to track instructional design progress with Quality Matters courses.
Extremely flexible tool for organization
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely flexible and allows you to create a organizational structure that's best for your company. I like that Asana makes it easy to collaborate across teams, as well as stay on track with your own personal lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is so flexible that sometimes it makes it hard to figure out the best way to organize. It's so flexible that it's easy to create a board that runs out of control. It requires discipline to make sure you're keeping your boards organized and structured in the way that works best for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross-team collaboration. Asana is most helpful when managing cross-functional projects where you're collaborating with multiple people and need to stay up to date and on track with due dates, tasks, etc.
It will increase your efficiency by at least 50%
What do you like best about the product?
It allows myself and my business partner to communicate and assign tasks to each other via a system that holds all the tasks in one place, this means NO MORE EMAILS! Which is brilliant plus the basic version of asana is free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find integrations into asana from other applications and the ability to trigger several tasks based on one action being triggered into asana is also sometimes challenging but for the price I think it si definitely worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning tasks, automating task creation and tracking what things we have outstanding that need to get done. This has increased our efficiency of communication by more than 50%, in fact I would say this alone is responsible for about a 70-75% increase in our business efficiency.
The benefits are that we no longer forget tasks, things do not get lost in emails and we don't have long streams of emails for tasks. In addition to that our sub contracts now use it so I hardly ever need to speak to them allowing me freedom to be able to continue to build my business quicker!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't currently have any task management software in your business then you have to get asana, it is simple and easy to implement will save you tonnes of time communicating with other team members or just keeping track of outstanding tasks you need to get done and it doesn't cost a penny for the initial package.
We all know that running a business is a hard thing to do but what asana does is allows you to do more with less time, less thinking, less headspace and to ensure you keep on top of tasks allowing you to focus all your energy on the important tasks in your business and not worrying about remember stuff that you need to get done.
It even has mobile apps and tablet apps so you can take it anywhere with you!

Project Management & Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Communication with my entire team in one place. I am able to upload documents and videos and add others to a thread while assigning tasks and creating project out lines. It is a great one stop spot for things. You can also tag coworkers in comments or threads to ensure they know you are talking to them specifically.
What do you dislike about the product?
I get sooooo lost. I feel like I am constantly losing things in Asana (as in can't remember where I saw it or find it in the program easily) I tend to be a fairly organized person so either our company is not utilizing the layout and features properly or I get easily confused. For example, I may be included on a project and asked to complete something, but if it wasn't assigned as a task to me I have to scroll through the projects or my inbox to find it. Or, if I am assigned subtasks, they all fall under the same title in my task list so I will have to open up each one to find the specific task I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between our team who works across 2 different states. We use dropbox for file sharing, but this platform is great for notes on specific files and tasks assigned. Once we decide on finals, we then transfer to dropbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at examples from other companies on how they structured their organization to see what will best fit your company's needs. That way you don't have to go through and do a bunch of clean up.
Great Tool for Task's!!!!
What do you like best about the product?
This is by far the easiest tool we have used.
Its simple and easy to use!!!

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't get notify when someone responds to any task i make.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create task when our guest have any issues or any request in any of our apartments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While using it don't snooze the notifications you might miss some work due to this.
Best Team Management App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is such a helpful tool. I absolutely love the usability of it, and all of the tools that come with one simple system. Asana is incredibly helpful, especially when a group of people are all working on a similar project or working together. It is really easy to assign and track tasks, build projects, and keep everything organized in one clear place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I think is hard to do with Asana is ensure that you get notifications for everything and sometimes when you mark one thing off a list, I found that others would disappear but I wasn't sure why.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major business problem that we solved by using Asana was the management of tasks. Before using Asana, tasks and projects would get lost and there would be little way of knowing who was working on what project. Once we started using Asana, there was no question who was working on a project and what stage that project was in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My biggest recommendation to other users of Asana would be to take full advantage of all of the capabilities. Asana can work really well as a sharing and communication app if the tools are all used. Once the organization I was working with started using Asana for messaging as well as document sharing, it was so easy to know that everything was all in one place.
Great Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
I need to have all of my tasks written out or I might forget asana helps me categorize and list all my needs and due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to include a team so we could all use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My role is a mixture of case management and admin and HR. Lots of different tasks but all need to be completed. I’m way more on top of it with Asana.
