Best task management app for work AND personal stuff

Intuitive interface, mobile app, all kinds of great features, even in the free version
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't sort tasks within a project by due date on the mobile app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a ton of projects at once; this helps be an extension of my brain since I can't remember everything all the time. It has benefited me by helping me stay organized and giving me a place to save notes.

Awesome Tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to use - creating projects and tasks within them is insanely easy and it's great to track all of your tasks from multiple departments in multiple places. Waiting on tasks is also a great tool for projects that require more than one employee.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tasks can get lost in bigger projects and sometimes it's frustrating that you can't check something off until everyone else is done with their tasks. That can be resolved with better project management but I also wish that it was a little easier in the UI.
Also sometimes the automation involved with entering new tasks is frustrating.

Do things right from the beginning! Otherwise your entire Asana becomes a mess.
Mobile post-it wall
What do you like best about the product?
When I plan for an event, I typically have a notebook full of lists or a wall covered in post-its. The site and app are both fluidly designed for the creative mind which things this way. You can plan a project by it self or as part of a larger whole or as singular tasks to be completed. You can receive email reminders and overviews of what tasks you have to complete. If you are working with a team, you can share notes and assign tasks and communicate when a task has been completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found if you can control when or how you get reminders. It took me a while to figure out how to mark a task as done, but once I found the place to click, it was more obvious than I thought.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me strategize by setting dates for projects to be done, and I am able to make notes on the task as I am completing it. Previously I was just keeping lists and notes in separate places, and this helps me get organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for use on desktop and mobile platforms! Incredible way of getting organized!
Can't even remember how we functioned without it!
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best for team collaboration and keeping us accountable! I can't imagine how we functioned without our tasks to keep us on track and our project organization to maintain successful communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I can think of that I truly dislike, but I don't use the Dashboards part of it because I haven't really looked into it and I can't tell outright what I would really do with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are much better at project communication, knowing who's doing what and when something should be done. I can plan out our content calendar so much better with Asana!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! We weren't exactly sure what we were looking for at first, and we had to try it out before knowing if it would work for us.
an unorganized organizational company
What do you like best about the product?
we have a lot of project going st the same time. It's nice to have a digital board to log progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to integrate into daily routine. Also the inbox feature absolutely sucks. It's confusing and cluttered. If I have to get out an important message about a project, I resort to email. Which then turns into an email thread about the project. Then that conversation isn't recorded in Asana.... instead, it's in my email thread. I spend a great deal of time looking for where conversions happened.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several projects in the works at the same time. So the building project feature is very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When we first assigned on to Asana, I received 3 emails about training. They were in great detail, yet they didn't actually explain where the meeting was to take place. I logged on at the right time
And waited. Nothing. No follow up email, no "hey where are you?" Contact. There were 7 other people in my group. So the instructor would have known I was missing. But nothing. Still nothing. I found the training videos on my own. This we're most helpful.'

Not the best for keeping track of involved projects
What do you like best about the product?
I liked asana - but it wasn't as easy to manage all of the documents, time tables and tasks for everyone to do in different departments. The site is laid out well, and I do like it - but sometimes its a little hard lay out everything you need - it is very time invasive.
What do you dislike about the product?
we need research, development and marketing to work at the same time and they make it a little hard to communicate and keep track of everything you need. I don't know if it is only the way that Asana works, or our team in general.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps use manage different projects and tasks. We can have our files under projects which is nice to have them allocated for them in the place they belong. We can also put important due dates on the calendar and we see how that helps people get their things done in time (most of the time) and what is coming up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think going through a quick, easy tutorial once you start for every single person would be good. we had team members have a difficult time getting exactly what they needed to get done, done because they didn't not take the time to learn how to use the site. An interactive "getting started" demo from the beginning I thought would be very helpful!
Asana - Task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The work team is often not in the same office. Asana handles team conversations around projects in motion very well.
We also run an electrical integration and software integration business. These are different disciplines requiring different dashboards. We can do this with Asana.
We also use the Team Calendar for tracking basic resource availability.

What do you dislike about the product?
For task management it is great but for scheduling it is light.
Task notifications are by email. For super critical, unplanned tasks we still use the phone. Why not include sms messaging for things that can't wait for an email check?

Task tracking and management when running multiple projects simultaneously.
Terrific Tool for Managing Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for managing projects, whether you are the only "human" resource, or there are resources shared across multiple projects or company entities. There are iOS, Android and web apps that allow you to access your project information from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The iOS interface is clean, but "too simple." It leaves many features invisible, and can increase the learning curve for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this product to act as a resource for a project that is run by someone else. It allows me to see the tasks others on the project are working on and who may be waiting for me to complete my work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you allow sufficient time for users to learn the software and how your company will implement it!
Asana makes adulting easy!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy Asana makes it manage task but also separate those task into projects and even more granular or more robust categorization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish Asana would allow custom repetition. I would love to have certain tasks repeat 6 months (or even maybe 3 years, whatever I deem appropriate. Maybe 104 days?) after last completed, but for now it can only follow the completion of a task by up to two months I believe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps organize my teams and also helps me coordinate with other directors to make sure we can work in conjunction with each other on a task without stepping on one-another's toes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so easy to use and the price is right!
Gorgeous Project Management Software!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a heavy right-brainer, so the colors and intuitive interface are my favorite elements (oh and the characters that fly across my screen every few tasks!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Truthfully, I've become so accustomed to it now that I don't have anything I would change!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems of letting little tasks fall through the cracks are solved with Asana...they stay there in a "to-do list" of sorts until it's done. It's been great for everyone to see the items that are undone.
