Asana Helps Me Run My Business

I love the project management features and having everything planned out in front of me. All people on my team are connected and communicate easily without having to email back and forth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. I think this product is awesome. I would love to see a calendar view of tasks - but it may be in there, I just don't know if I can see it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virtual team management across distance and borders. Keeping everything in one place. Staying abreast of changes and updating each other. Everything can be time-activated by a date.

Asana is a must-have for our marketing team!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been extremely helpful for keeping our marketing team organized! I love the interface — it's very intuitive and easy to use, the new board style layouts are great, and the hidden features like the celebration unicorns and background themes bring joy to my work day. Creating, assigning, and completing our marketing projects/tasks in Asana is fast and easy and keeps us productive and on track with our goals. I literally use Asana all day long every day and I'd be lost without it!
We also use Asana to organize training/onboarding activities for new employees company wide which has really helped us to streamline that process. The new employees are impressed on their first day at work when we present them with their own personal Asana board full of training tasks, FAQs, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if we could eventually switch projects between the list layout and the board layout, copy tasks between list and board layouts, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely solely on Asana to track all of our marketing projects, tasks, deadlines, ideas for future projects, etc. We also use Asana for training/onboarding new employees company wide. Organization, sanity, increased productivity, collaboration, and time savings have been our biggest benefits.
Very useful tool !
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about asana is its flexibility with Task assignment, wether it is for a specific project or person(s), how many people should follow a particular task, etc...
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the email frequency is a bit high

Agile development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The clean, well designed interface may sometimes be hard to see the full capabilities of the software. I recommend looking for some sort of tutorial.
Keeps my team updated and progressing by knowing the status of any project at a glance.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a fantastic project management software that reduces email and keeps the team on the same page when it comes to the status of every project in the pipeline.
For external clients, we are able to cut down on back and forth emails about every project, since only the team members and clients associated with a project are included in that workspace and project. We can update the project and only need to review a project when we have a task or want to review status (which is most of what I'm doing managing projects).
For internal clients, we are able to work on projects for each division that treats our projects like we do external clients. This means that projects for growing and maintaining the business happen because Asana displays them objectively and gives us a progress indicator in the dashboard.

What do you dislike about the product?
The app is a bit slow in loading sometimes for me, which is a bit of friction to logging in sometimes. Otherwise, it's best for me to log in through the mobile app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I said before, this allows us to work on external client projects efficiently, my team manages their tasks even in the software (while I managing it outside of Asana, but both options are available), and we manage internal client projects as well effectively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to implement a project management software and want to manage multiple staff, vendors/consultant, and clients, Asana is great. You should identify the workflows ahead of time, and create clear policies for identifying status of each project daily and weekly, and who's responsible for doing so.
Greatest task management software... ever
What do you like best about the product?
It is so customizable! Any project type can be done through an Asana project environment. Automated emails keep you and your team up to date on progress of projects. It also integrates into so many other platforms that it makes things so easy to streamline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd prefer an easier way to create and manage tasks from Slack. I'd also like a better way to create brainstorming lists vs actual tasks. The mobile app is pretty decent but I think there can be some improvements there as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing and managing company projects and individual tasks. Everybody in my company works remotely and Asana is our way of organizing tasks without being in the same room together. We also need a centralized dev calendar that we use Asana Boards to accomplish.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you organize your teams and projects well from the very beginning as that will set you up for success in organizing your tasks in the future.
Everyday I save time and feel more in control.
What do you like best about the product?
Working in Asana quickly puts me in control of any project--within the context of all the other projects already underway. It's design makes it easy to focus on what you want--and to see the big picture whenever you need to. With Asana, it's easy for me to know 'the next right thing to do' for myself and for others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like the ability to shift tasks between projects. Currently, that's not supported without lots of cutting/pasting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management > everything is under control
changing priorities > at-a-glance view of the to-do list by calendar, list, project, etc. makes this possible
customer service > pre-kick-off and post-deliverables part of our work are already greatly improved

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana adapts to your processes. You need to be willing to adapt just a little to achieve the most success. Most people enjoy some of their less-than-best-practices. Asana works better in teams if you can leave those 'bad' practices behind.
Pretty Good
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to organize tasks and to-dos. Recurring tasks are super helpful. I'm able to keep everyone on my team in the loop without cluttering up email inboxes. I'm also able to keep tabs on tasks that have been assigned to my teammates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't seem to be set up for teams like mine. We'll probably never use the new "boards" feature. Wish there were more options to change notifications on tasks--similar to Facebook where I can turn off notification emails for certain tasks, instead of one blanket setting for all tasks. Wish it would suggest followers that I add frequently to my tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using Asana, email inboxes were the "to-do" lists and it was horrible to track which emails actually needed something to be done and what emails were just FYIs. Asana has helped my team track what needs to be done, prioritize those tasks, evenly distribute workloads, and update superiors on task completions. Hours searching for lost emails have been saved, and now tasks aren't falling through the cracks.

A modern and fun tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I am a huge fan of Asana. As a manager, it makes it so much easier for me to assign tasks to my team, monitor their progress, and ensure tasks are getting done on time. I'm very impressed with how fleshed out Asana is, even for the free version. Along with creating projects, you can assign tasks to specific users, add or change due dates, add notes, make comments, and tag other team members on tasks so they can also receive updates when a project is completed.
Also, there's something wonderful about Asana's celebrations, whether I'm getting a flying unicorn or a yeti for completing a task.

What do you dislike about the product?
Well, I've become so reliant on Asana that I go into panic mode when Asana is momentarily down. Asana does have a few quirks, which I think is because they're a newer platform. If I try to copy/paste text into the headline of a task, it won't show up in the project. There are a few other similar issues that aren't major, but they're a little frustrating. However, the pros certainly outweigh the cons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Asana helps our marketing team stay on schedule, keep aware of short and long-term projects, and collaborate. It's definitely made me more productive and it's easier to know what I need to work on each day.
I've always considered myself a very organized person, but Asana helps me take that to the next level, ensuring that I never fall behind or forget about a task.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend Asana for smaller teams who want to assign, manage, and track tasks. As for official project managers at an agency, it may not offer all the elements that a paid platform may provide, such as Trello or a similar one. However, for a marketing team, it's a great tool.
Better then JIRA
What do you like best about the product?
Super fast and responsive. It has a beautiful design. Well designed for managing team workflows and task-management
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the thing I dislike is that you can't access it offline. Other then that it is perfect for managing team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it team management. I love the ability to create projects and tasks within the project. Once you've set up the project, you can follow the progress of those tasks from any browser (even on mobile devices).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking of switching to Asana, I'll say you're making a right decision, do it now.
Great for personal and professional project management
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to generate tasks and then assign them. Provides simple management of daily tasks, a great way to collaborate on items and an easy method to tag and assign. Easy to use UI. Ability to easily collaborate with the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to copy tasks over to other projects. No budget tools in the application for us to track finance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy task management between various team members.
