Manage More in Less Time
What do you like best about the product?
I work with a team of physicians and this is an extra organization for us so we must be efficient. We almost never are physically in the same spot, so I love that Asana allows us to assign tasks, communicate and be transparent to everyone. Leaps and bounds easier than constant emailing - and user friendly for my less tech saavy team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile version is a little less powerful. Full integration with ical would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to attach files and images to tasks has really increased productivity.

Asana is a good tasks management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the possibility of following the tasks of all team-members, having on-going tasks as projects. There are also additional tools that could be synced in with Asana such as Gant charts, which makes it even more useful for long-time projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be best to have access to Asana from a program installed on the computer instead of logging into the website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefits are that it is easy to follow who has done what and at which level of every task people are at the moment. This makes it easy to cover for a colleague when they're OOO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has a bit more complicated interface than Basecamp, which makes it more overwhelming. On the other hand, it gives you a good visibility on everybody's task and is easy to manage. gives more options than Basecamp, one of which is to sync the software with other softwares (partners) and implement Gant charts for example.
Designed for the list lover
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to schedule each task to various team members. The calendar view is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like bay you can not easily download files that you upload to Asana. I am also not a fan of the iOS app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping various projects on task and preventing anything from slipping through the cracks while we are extremely busy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We use Google drive to get around the uploading / downloading issue with sharing files.
Its great but would appreciate a few small changes
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that, assuming everyone uses it to its potential, that all assets, messages and tasks for a project can be kept in one centralized location. I also enjoy all the integrations, i.e. Harvest Time Tracking, Zendesk, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to set notifications to show on the individual tasks that the comments relate to. Sometimes I think it is easy for things to get lost in the shuffle if I miss the Asana email or lose sight of the message in my Asana inbox. I also wish that in the list view if there was a way to color-code the tasks, possibly red, yellow and green...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are attempting to make our process more efficient and keep everyone aligned on the going's on of each project. Like I mentioned before, it is only as good as the the amount that people use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They offer a free trial/version so give that a shot. Also determine your long term goals with the product itself and any other potential add-on programs.
Get your projects and brain organised with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana keeps releasing new features. I love that, depending on our needs, we can toggle between "Boards" and "Lists" to cater to any project. In addition, with open integrations to TrackDuck, we can track our website changes all through Asana to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. We also use the mail forward feature a lot to keep our inboxes squeaky clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
Checking in on projects and tasks for teammates can be cumbersome at times. Also, the reporting is not easily printable, which makes it hard for weekly meetings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to centralise all of our ideas and projects. My team can keep track of everything in one place, including personal projects, and we can even check in on how our customers are using Asana via the multiple organisations feature. It is a truly amazing tool!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help managing delegated tasks. With asana, I spend less time managing my team. This frees up more time to high value tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's intuitive and you can try it for free. Check out the short guide videos and play around with it. Try to manage one small project with it before making the full move.
If you have a complex workflow, it might not be suitable, but then again, it might be helpful to simplify the said workflow

What do you dislike about the product?
That you can`t tag two people in one task. I understand that is better sometimes, but sometimes we would like it to do it.
There aren´t more things that i dont like.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to organize the roadmap of the projects and the tasks that are little chinks that make the big ones.
We are more productive and the things are always written and with a date to finish the task.

Try it! If you don´t like it you can go back and choose another one, but for me is the best one hands down.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
It provides a current list of tasks that are complete and incomplete. What I love is that it is capable of sharing the list/tasks with others and they see visibility on the project as well. Also, members of the project can add tasks as needed as well and then it notifies others, even if it's assigned to another member.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would sync with my outlook calendar. Currently, it added in another calendar and is separate. It would be helpful if it synced in one place vs having calendars overlapped to see all the items due. Other than that, Asana has really great features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to get every individual to switch over to this task manager has been a challenge only because they're use to what they've been using. Once they've moved over, it has helped us in managing a project and making sure we see it all in one place. At times, we've added the customer as well, which then gives the client visibility on how we're doing as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great program for those wanting to share tasks/projects with internal AND external individuals.
Great for working with a team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has lots of options and features for tracking tasks and collaborating with a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Asana isn't as intuitive to use and you can click around and create a bit of a mess in your profile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to keep track of one-time or recurring tasks and get status updates from members of my team or another department.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product, even the free versions helps in your work. The paid version obviously comes with more bells and whistles, but you don't need that until you have a decent amount of people you'd like to collaborate with.
Amazing for individual use and for team use
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can add tasks from my phone or from my computer. I love that I can create tags for all of my projects and easily focus on work based on tags or workspaces and projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a place to catalog all of my tags. I tend to forget what some of the tags were that I used and it would be nice to have a catalog of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My entire team uses Asana to track our publication calendar. We would have so many emails and mail pieces dropping all the time that Asana helped us space out publications so that we weren't creating fatigue for our constituents. It also has helped us realize that we are very email heavy at the beginning of the month and not towards the end of the month. We were able to space out our publications and be more strategic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think the tags are the best part about this program. We are able to tag projects based on emails, phone or mail solicitations but we can also tag which quarters they dropped, who the target market is and if they were for an event or solicitation. Then when it comes time to focus on a certain area we can just click on a tag and pull that up. For example- what do we have comming up in Quarter 2? Click it and there are all the tasks.
