A better way to handle tasks and todo lists alone or in team
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to assign other users tasks with deadlines and be notified when these task are completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still using the free version of the product so I've no access to some of the premium features however it would be nice to be able to assign extra fields to each task (ex. time spent on the task, customer etc...). It would be pretty cool then to be able, for example, to filter the tasks by customer (at the moment we can do so using tags).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We organize most of the company projects workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We've tried many other similar products and Asana was the best fit for our needs. I would recommend SMB to give it a try.

Perfect tool to stay organized right out of the box
What do you like best about the product?
Was super impressed with the ability to start using this tool from day one. We have been able to incorporate most operational sides of our business into asana. We even track weekly, monthly, quarterly goals through asana to create public accountability and performance tracking. Great solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was time tracking built right into the tasks. You can use some 3rd party apps, but they never quite seem to sync up 100% correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. This is an obvious win with asana, but tracking goals, efficiency and project roadmaps has been a great value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the free version and run a project through there. It'll be worth your time.
Helped organize the workflow in our entire company!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way the hierarchy is set up in Asana, and how every team in our company can use it!! It's extremely helpful to have everything in one place. I also like being able to set personal tasks and to check them off. By far the best function though is the Tab-B feature (press the TAB and B keys, you'll get a surprise!).
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I wish Asana could do is link the timelines to a single calendar. It has a calendar feature, but the way it is organized isn't a useful feature yet for our company. It would also be great if Asana had its own chat function in the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and workflow management throughout the entire company has improved with Asana. Previously there was no organization, and every team managed and saved a record of projects in a different way.
Lots of features but I don't feel more organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it possible to collaborate with others -- to have shared to-do lists and events with all my co-workers so that we can coordinate within our team and across various teams in order to make projects happen. I like the way it's possible to create different projects and dashboards and to assign tasks to specific individuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to add another site/login to my daily work process -- I find that I still jot things down on post-its or use my calendar application to keep track of things I need to do, instead of putting them in Asana. It's also difficult to track where things are in a process or to schedule the order in which things need to happen. Also, it's possible to assign things to someone, but they don't necessarily have to acknowledge/accept that the tasks were assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of multiple people working on the same issue without coordinating. Benefits include less duplication of work responsibilities and fewer conversations about "has anyone thought of x" or "has y been addressed." It's easy to find invoices, documents, and materials related to a particular project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you evaluate what existing productivity tools you're using, and determine whether it's better to invest more in those (or upgrade to more elaborate versions of them), or to add another tool instead -- in which case you may want to divest from some of your current business practices.
After a short learning period you'll wonder how you lived without it
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows you to organise your thoughts, ideas and projects in the form of lists or 'boards' with 'sticky notes'. I love the board layout because I can break down big projects into smaller and smaller tasks as I work on each section. When an idea occurs to me I can easily add it, just like I might grab a sticky note and scribble a memo on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not entirely sure how team sharing works and what people I have shared tasks with can see. I wish there was a 'View as your team sees it" function like LinkedIn or Facebook has. Maybe it's there but I can't find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm so much more organised and I look more organised for my team. Previously project management was very much in my head or scribbled on notes. I am saving time by having everything in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to watch the video tutorials. Ask others in your industry how they use it.
Great project management tool for freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to add multiple projects and team members, allowing both clients and my team members to make changes in a controlled manner. The mobile (Android) app lets me keep on top of things when away from my desk.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike, but the ability to delete things more easily would be good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me manage multiple projects and clients, allowing them to submit tasks and have insight into progress.
As useful but somewhat flawed work management program.
What do you like best about the product?
It is very enjoyable to check off tasks and to be able to manage check-ins and projects simply and through as single interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes difficult to navigate and a list-based structure leads this program to be difficult to use if you have several projects going.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning is much easier through Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a robust task management and project planning program. It can get dense and challenging if you don't keep everything in order. Make sure that you're prepared to take the extra time on the front end so that you don't end up losing your mind on the other side. Definitely turn on the celebrations function and all the other fun tools - it makes the simple task-list interface MUCH more fun and exciting. My little narwhal keeps me going when I am checking off tasks.
Asana is an amazing product!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the team collaboration with Asana. I can assign tasks to individuals that is shown on their feed instantly. We can include notes in our tasks and inform each other when they are completed. Our calendars are synced on google and is seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
I often have issues with my page needing to re-sync or where uploading has failed. I believe these issues will be corrected in the near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows for me and my team to connect with each other even on the weekends. I can keep track of what is being completed and what is outstanding.
Great way to manage all internal projects
What do you like best about the product?
I love the easy to use interface and the fact that we can assign tasks internally to any team member with specific deadlines and details.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding and removing tasks, projects and teams should be easier. It takes a bit of time to learn to use those and learn how to create new tabs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us all keep organized as a team. It also allows us to create, track and manage specific projects from beginning to end.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with a free account and build one simple project to get started.
Asana is a clear and concise task management program
What do you like best about the product?
I like interactive team elements of asana (i.e. the ability to tag people in comments, add various followers, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team actually uses the comment area of each task pretty heavily for project-related communication. It'd be nice if there was a way to make this more robust or organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company is all remote, so Asana is the main way we assign, organize, and communicate about tasks.
