Asana - you get what you pay for
What do you like best about the product?
It's free. If you cannot afford to pay for a project management tool, Asana is a good choice.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little clunky and not as easy to use or intuitive as other project management tools, such as Basecamp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Asana as a part of a team to streamline communication and decrease email. We haven't found it to be a timesaver and therefore have mostly gone back to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If budget is your main consideration, Asana is a good choice. Otherwise, there are other project management tools out there that are much more nimble and easy to use.
Asana is a game changer
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the best work management system you can get, especially when you are on a budget. It easy to set up complex projects, with sub-tasks with separate due dates and assignees.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could use more filtering options. We have projects plotted out for over a year, and it can be incredibly stressful to see it all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and productivity have increased since implementing Asana. You can always look at what you have coming up in the pipeline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are interested in trying Asana, you can try it out on one project. It is a free software and easy to use, so you really aren't out anything.
Easy Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is extremely accessible and downright pretty!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no option to work offline. It would be great if that could happen and then be updated once reconnected. This, of course, would need standalone software at that point, but I would love that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can coordinate with multiple team members and plan out events as needed. Being able to have saved templates has been absolutely key to increasing our consistency of output for events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really look at all the options for how to organize your projects and be flexible and creative in using this app.
Task Lists for Teams and Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I work with multiple teams, assigning and following up on tasks. Asana helps me to keep up with multiple projects and teams at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit confusing to use and takes some time to adjust. The ability to create folders with shared information without setting tasks would be helpful. With some ongoing projects, It is useful to have a shared area to keep documents and resources, but eliminate the requirement to "check off" as completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for project management. Now that we this tool, we have become much more efficient in tracking the status of a project, assigning tasks to individuals, maintaining deadlines, and tracking how long it takes to complete a project. Very helpful for long-term projects or future projects as we can add resources to share but don't need currently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is great for keeping team members on the same page.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like asana because it is a web-based to-do list that can be easy to organize. Tasks can be divided into jobs and prioritized. I also love the team collaboration feature and the ability to use it on an app.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that I could see what I need to get done in every category and not just in the task list that pops up first. It makes me tempted just to list everything I need to do in that one list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to see what I need to do next whether I am in the office or not. It has also become an organized place to hold information for whenever I need it. Sometimes, I even use it to record ideas on the go.
Making assigning tasks easier
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience of assigning tasks and completing tasks assigned to me. I find it helpful to switch between calendar view and the task views. Using the calendar view I know what to prioritize and what I should be working on first. I also like the way the app is designed, it is visually pleasant. I am curious to try the new dashboard setting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot look at two different projects in different tabs at the same time. I also think that it is time consuming to add new tasks to asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having several stakeholders be able to track a project and see what stage it is at, and who is working on it. We also use it to prioritize tasks above each other. We like using asana not only within our organization but to align tasks with contractors and outside vendors/ other organizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth is for complicated tasks with a lot of stakeholders, less so for individual use. Putting tasks in the app can be quite time consuming.
Helpful for Team Accountability
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to set deadline and sign tasks to certain individuals to keep thing clear for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little difficult for older employees to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to assign tasks to certain team members with deadline and check up on them without micromanaging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very easy to use for most people and makes projects easier to delegate and keeps everything on schedule.
Asana In My Office
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the flexibility Asana provides me throughout my day to day work. I can add tasks, take away, connect with co-workers in various projects. The platform provides a ton of ways for me to keep on top of my work and I love that.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to copy a project. My department's meetings/events typically have similar outlines. I'm not sure if I can do this and I'm just missing it, but I'd like to be able to duplicate a project completely and even be able to move it between teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of having list on top of list on top of list, I'm able to have all of my tasks for the multiple meetings/events my department is planning all in one location. This saves me time, paper, and effort in so many ways. The site is clean and organized, which keeps my track of thought better organized as well when I'm using the software. The biggest benefit is the amount of time I save. The second biggest is the way Asana helps me stay on task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are an individual or team who love to do lists or tasklists or just keeping track of who is doing what when, this is the product for you.
Great but can get messy
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Slack is a great additional along with the ability to add custom fields, the dashboard of tasks also helps manage what you need to do.
The ability to share tasks across teams helps with cross functional projects, but we do find that the tasks can lost in your inbox.

What do you dislike about the product?
There doesn't seem to be a simple overview of all projects that provides this simple rolled up RAG status of everything (or maybe there is and I just can't find it).
I would love some sort of quick widget to perform updates.
Tasks and updates can be like SPAM sometimes and there doesn't seem to be any way to marking the importance of the task unless you put a deadline, even then they don't jump out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task Management and project tracking. Gave us the visibility of all of those mini tasks that needed deadlines and got lost in the middle of nowhere.
The number of projects we have on the go was making the management of them extremely difficult across multiple people.
