Using Asana for Editorial Calendar
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows users to create multiple projects, which is helpful in filtering through lists of tasks, and allows tasks to be assigned to team members. Additionally, any created tasks can have tags, due dates, sub-tasks, and file attachments — particularly helpful when conversing with a team and avoiding back-and-forth emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking a desktop version to view projects and tasks when offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining an editorial calendar to organize and prioritize the news and public relations efforts of a non-profit.

Great tool for group project managment!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the tagging and task following capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish you didn't have a pay just as much as Asana it's self for the time tracking. I think that is a core feature that should come with basic membership. It would be so nice to allocate a time amount to a task so that the team can see workload in that way. Too much to do is our biggest issue right now and we need a way to prove that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and simple project management where huge issues as our team grew. This has helped all of us work together, keep on track, and helps nothing to fall threw the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always do your research, but asana is what was best for our team.
Fantastic Organizational Software
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to aggregate tasks in a way that is easy to keep track of, as well as easily transfer tasks between various users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a completely internet-dependent application; if you do not have a live internet connection you cannot use the software. This is especially detrimental for the mobile app; I would highly recommend for Asana to integrate some manner of background save to the app. Even with a high-speed WiFi internet connection, the app still feels a little sluggish to respond after you have selected a task, as it loads all of the information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main pain point was interacting with web developers for our various websites, and keeping track of their tasks lists and updates waiting to roll out. This has greatly helped to streamline that process, and make sure that no task gets missed.
Excellent solution for team project management
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, intuitive, versatile, scalable...the list goes on. Asana is one of the most flexible, yet simple project management tools I've used. I like it so much, I use it for my personal projects and to-do list. One feature that really sold it for me is the ability to sort by today, upcoming and later, similar to David Allen's Getting Things Done approach. This has been an incredible help in prioritizing tasks and keeping track of ideas, even if they're off in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one aspect I've found lacking is a central location to post notes and share documents outside of individual projects. But that's a minor issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication has increased dramatically. The ability to comment on tasks and projects is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so simple a caveman could do it.
Really solid project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
it was one of my first project management tools which I used to finish the biggest project of my life - medical tourism platform and video consultations. I loved it for simple interface and really great team management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Couple years ago it wasn't integrated with many external platforms. From what I know now it's way better. You have dropbox, slack, google drive etc. It's also still not that great in mobile area. Recently I prefer Trello for really simple project management then dealing with asana or even slack which are too big for my purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned I solved really big project with Asana. It helped me to manage small team which reduced costs and also helped me to execute and finish that big project. Most of team members was remote so we needed something solid and reliable. Asana provided that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can easily recommend Asana for example for startup teams, web project teams. It'll be really helpful to manage different small teams and control their tasks. It's really great when team is using Agile method or Scrum.
Project management at its finest
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's minimal animations and get out of the way UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn't work well for technical project management where more detailed formatting and character styles, as well as inline images etc are required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to manage impromptu tasks and projects, as well as coordinate on short-term strike lists like PR around a new product launch.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great when you need a "light" solution. It's biggest strength is its simplicity, which can also be a weakness when viewed through the lens of managing complex tasks. It shines when used in conjunction with a more permanent task tracker (like Confluence).
Asana helps me get organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can drag and rearrange things easily. Plus, everything syncs to my phone!
What do you dislike about the product?
When establishing deadlines for subtasks in each task, it can get confusing if you didn't individually label them for that specific task. For example, I have a content calendar and each task includes the same subtasks. On my phone it will just say "recipe" and the date instead of saying "xyz recipe" -- it just means I have to be more specific in my subtasks so I can see what is due from my phone
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me to be more organized. Easier to see everything in one calendar and able to rearrange as needed
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not work with a team but if I do in the future, this is a great option. You can set individual deadlines and set it for different team members. I believe you can also add notes for members which I think is really helpful -- less emailing back & forth yay!
Great for Basic Task & Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love the intuitive interface and "it just works" simplicity of Asana. If you think you should be able to do something (copy & paste, tag a person/task/project/attachment etc) it is possible. Asana is well thought-out and usable on both desktop and in their mobile app.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are basic features that are not included. Gantt charts (and the associated start dates) and dependencies are the two big ones that are not included, in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic organization in my department was the main hurdle, and Asana handles that with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider if you'd be willing to pay for Asana. The free version is very capable, but stuff like administration rights and rudimentary task dependencies are behind a per-user pay wall.
Great Task Management Program
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can organize tasks and projects so well. You can have tasks, and subtasks, and sub-sub-tasks, and so on. You can have as many projects as you want as well. I can also have several companies and my own organizational space.
I also love that you can have private tasks on company pages as well. I can add things that I need to do for a certain company, but don't want my team to see. I appreciate that.
I love that there is a calendar integrated into the system and that we can assign tasks to certain people.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I cannot combine my companies on my personal organizational space. I wish I could see ALL my tasks for all the clients I work for.
I also do not like that there is not a team chat area. You can comment on items, but here needs to be a chat box for us to chat whenever we need to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problems of tasks needing to be done on time and in a complete way with Asana. Things don't get overlooked and my clients appreciate that. The benefits are huge because it lets my clients trust in me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! It's free so you might as well. Use it for personal tasks first, then introduce it to your company. It looks confusing, but stick with it!
Simple, beautiful, and affordable way to collaborate on projects and organize your life!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana continues to push the envelope on features and functionality, but even more than either is their focus on productivity, and with that, UX. Asana is brilliantly fast with countless shortcuts to help you get more done each day.
The application allows for teams to collaborate, and organize projects and tasks down to the sub-task level without losing assignment, timing, and tracking functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?
At this time, happy with features as they exist. I'd imagine that, if using Asana throughout my entire organization, there are tools or workflows that larger teams might benefit from. For my current team of 3, there is nothing more I'd ask for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To-do's and joint collaboration on projects.
