We all LOVE Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Design and User Experience are incredible! It has all of the features you'd expect from a project management software you'd hope for and it looks beautiful and is easy for onboarding new users. Can't say enough about how much I like Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Number one complaint is load times. I keep Asana up at all times and it would be nice if it didn't disconnect frequently. And it will often load projects and tasks slowly which gets really annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing projects and everyone's tasks from multiple views (eg. each person and by project). It helps us coordinate and have a central repository for adding everything that needs to be done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once again, I can't recommend it enough. I hear other startups love it, my team loves it, I love it. Asana nailed a very difficult product and other than the sometimes slower load times I can't find a thing wrong with it. Which for someone who develops software is a very high bar.

Asana has revolutionized how our team works
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a system that allows our small team of 32 people to manage almost 200 separate projects, including short-term, medium-term and long-term projects. About a quarter of the team is remote, and we also share some projects with remote clients, making it possible for everyone to have full visibility into the priority tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's nothing to dislike about Asana. Perhaps the only deficiency I've found is that it would be nice if there were more features to track the number of different projects different team members are working on. But we've worked out a system to track this in a spreadsheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have tech, content, design, client service and sales teams all managing client work together. Asana allows all teams to collaborate to deliver world class learning programs and services to our global clients. We simply could not do this without Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Our own implementation of Asana was amateurish. There were some early adopters, and some laggards. If we were to wind back the clock we would have planned and executed our implementation much more effectively if we'd followed change management best practices.
My new favorite PM / Task management platform
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a great mobile app, excellent integration with both Google Drive and Dropbox and an integration with Zapier that keeps getting updates. It's refreshing to see that they are constantly working on updates and improvement vs. some other PM / task management platforms that rarely push out updates, let alone bug fixes. The FREE plan with almost all the features of paid is a strong statement by Asana that they believe in the value of their product instead of forcing teams to commit before really having a chance to use it on a day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have much that I dislike...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a flexible Project / Task Management platform that could integrate with a time tracking tool (we ended up going with Harvest, which is a recommended integration among other time tracking tools available for Asana). Having high quality mobile apps (not web apps) for both iOS and Android along with lots of integration options with 3rd party platforms sealed the deal!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free for the first 15 users with basically all the features you could want.... Try it and see if it fits your workflow.
An easy to use, intuitive tool for a small charity board
What do you like best about the product?
As a small team working remotely, we are able to assign tasks for each other and see what each of us are working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to see the list of completed tasks together either outstanding ones. It would help me to see the bigger picture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small fundraising executive board giving our time for an organisation for free, we need to make sure we are as efficient as we can possibly be. It helps us get tasks completed on time, understand what each of us gets up to and be a lot more efficient and effective than we would be without it!
Asana is great once it is set up.
What do you like best about the product?
Once it is set up with recurring to-do lists or project work flows, Asana can be a really great tool for teams, especially those who do not have the luxury of face to face meetings. Asana makes it easy to assign tasks or keep track of where in the workflow a specific project, task, or document is.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tried to set up Asana in my new position and gave up. In a previous position I had a supervisor who created workflows and projects and due dates. In my current position I am in charge of all of those things along with the execution. It seemed like too much work to set everything up in a meaningful way when my team is small.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem was three employees who covered a front desk at different times. Asana was a great solution for our supervisor to set up our projects along with a way to track incoming documents and other projects that would move from hand to hand. As the employees who covered the front desk, we needed to know the status of a project even though we may not have been around when it came in. Asana worked really great for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For project management, especially on big teams, Asana can be a wonderful tool. For small teams, it may not be worth the initial time investment to set up workflows in a meaningful way.
Asana, many uses...
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that you can delegate and track projects very efficiently I also like the fact that you can really get to know your team through the platform due to real names/photos in each person's profile. I also like the fact that you can get really granular with the details of tasks and projects if you choose to
What do you dislike about the product?
No CRM features, only for internal task assignment and management, if you are assigning tasks to team members that will be interacting with clients there isn't much extension there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking from start to finish the production of websites and other SEO projects for our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has quickly grown to be one of the leaders in task and project management. I can't tell you that it is better than another program you might be considering I can only tell you that we have never felt that there could be something to better suit our needs that would lead us to even consider searching for an alternative.
Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to organize projects and assign tasks to team member in Asana. I love being organized and Asana is key to helping me stay on top of all of my projects. My favorite part about using Asana is the fact that I can see my completed tasks each week. This is extremely helpful when we have weekly staff meetings so each team member knows how much work we completed in a given week.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have very few complaints so far. I'm still in my first year using Asana so I am still learning the product. One thing I have noticed is that it is a little hard to keep track of subtasks within a given product. We've grouped our tasks into "lifestages" but in order to move a task to the next phase we have to move the entire project not just the subtask. Not a big deal and probably just due to my newness to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. We needed a platform to help us juggle all of our projects and be able to keep track of our progress. We also needed a system where we could assign tasks to each other. Previously, we were just using email and other messaging systems, but we realized it was hard to keep track of. Asana allows us to have our tasks in one place - including instructions and uploading documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should definitely consider using Asana for your project management needs.
Great task management!
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. There is little to no learning curve to figuring out how to create, manage, and complete tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints so far. I've been using Asana for the past year and a half, but I don't think my client utilizes Asana as much as they could.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not my line of work, but Asana helps me communicate with my clients about projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product for managing tasks and communication. Not sure about other features.
Super & SImplistic
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user friendly this organization platform is, I am not very tech savvy and It navigated me right to completing my goals
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it can blend in with other items that notify you on your mobile and other devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this goal, calendar and appointment tracker, I am able to communicate with all the people necessary in order to get tasks done, I can set deadlines and track progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up today and upload your never ending to do lists
Great experience with user-friendly task software
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Asana is the ease with which team members can collaborate. The user-friendly interface allows for quick access to user profiles whether assigning tasks or tagging team members in notes or comments right on a project page.
What do you dislike about the product?
I much prefer using the browser version of Asana than the mobile-app which sometimes acts as a road-block when working on the field or away from a computer. The browser version seems to utilize the greater screen area to allow for less clicking and searching through tabs to get to what you really need whether it be the calendar or certain project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana acts as a calendar, task list, communication avenue, a space for file transfers and much more in one designated place. It encourages a more list based or step-by-step organization to project management and forces the user to be more detail oriented when assigning or completing tasks.
