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.
Asana is a super easy and fast way to communicate professionally in office.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use. It is easy and the fact that it has its own app is good so we don't get distracted. I love how you can send gif's to people instead of texting. It gives your life a little more personality.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about the app. It is awesome! It allows you to talk to your colleagues in a fast and easy way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving communication problems. The benefits we've realized is that we can be in contact with others not face to face. It allows us to be more fun with our communication too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's awesome and I definitely recommend it to companies!
Great Product, Just couldn't get the team to use it
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is great on asana. You can setup as many projects you want and easily get insight on where everyone stands on each phase of the project. I enjoyed using it, but I did find it confusing to navigate until someone showed me how to use it at 100%
What do you dislike about the product?
Lot's of navigation to look at. Maybe if it were a bit more simple it would be easier to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration and communication across functions, with increased visibility into each others workload and upcoming projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think its a useful platform and should 100% be considered when choosing vendors, but I would say to take the trial first and make sure it delivers exactly what you're looking for in a project management solution
Team work in one platform
What do you like best about the product?
An intuitive way of grouping up complex tasks and being sure that everyone is working in the same direction.
Improved our overall cohesion during complex tasks and helped us achieve our goals. Been using this software for 4 months and I am absolutely loving it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Email bombardment when a lot of tasks are being assigned and done at the same time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising 1 large event and we are working more effectively thanks to Assana. W e made major efficiency gains in the planning stage and task assignation also. Everyone knows where to go and when to hand in their work. It is as clear as it gets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software that should definitely be considered by your business. Really helpful and easy to use
Don't Hire a Project Manager..
What do you like best about the product?
All your project management solutions are on this one web app. You can create projects and view your tasks lists based on due dates. You can easily tag people and check off when a task or project is completed. Uploading files is no problem and the UX/UI is nice/clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a big team it's going to cost $$$. Sometimes you can get trapped in the worm hole of check off tasks all day. Not much to hate on Asana. I really like it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently don't have a project manager on our team, so this has helped organize personal project and team projects. With Asana we don't need to hire a PM, so in theory purchasing Asana would be a cheaper investment then hiring a PM.
Collaboration is Key
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy to assign tasks between team members so everyone knows what they need to do. Email notifications are sent to team members so nothing gets missed. This is a great platform for small teams working on a budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool is for internal use only. I wouldn't use it to share and assign clients unless I knew them personally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives one platform for everyone to access what they need to do and when it gets done. Make communication clear so less mistakes are made and less deadlines missed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a straight forward system. If you're looking for a single platform that solves all of your management needs, this isn't it. If you're looking for a platform to manage projects and delegate tasks on a budget, Asana is great.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize complex projects so that each person only has to focus on their part of the project while still being able to see the big picture and what else is happening, has happened, and will happen on a project. Being able to log in and look at my list of tasks organized by due date keeps me on track with the many different projects our team has going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful to have better control over items that go on the calendar without creating tasks. Sometime I want to make the rest of the team aware of something going on without assigning a task to someone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. Trying to organize projects and assign tasks to people using Google Docs was not working. Now that all team members can log in and see exactly what they are responsible for across all projects has saved us time and increased efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to figure out how you are going to organize your projects and make sure someone is responsible for assigning tasks.
