What do you dislike about the product?
- A documentation solution like Google Docs inbuilt would be great.
- Asana added Kanban boards(like Trello) to Asana as well, so I can't complain anymore.
- Completed tasks get hidden inside a dropdown. If only there was a more prominent visual tab for teammates or managers to see Completed project tasks.

ASANA ROCKS!
What do you like best about the product?
Tracking conversations with my team is so easy & I love how simple that became once e I started using Asana to share files & get real time feedback quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, maybe a bit of a learning curve at first...just a few days though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My project management issues disappeared and the time saving element- amazing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're outsourcing Asana allows you to bring in / or exit any team member in your project without any hassles at all. It's a tool every entrepreneur should use! It doesn't matter where in the world your team members are. You feel you are all in the same room when you use Asana.
Intuitive and not overly complicated
What do you like best about the product?
It helps me remember and follow up on tasks assigned to other team members. The congratulatory unicorns when tasks are completed are pretty awesome too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had better team chat integrations. We opted to stick with a separate non-integrated chat program after trying to connect or combine that feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping the whole team on task. It resolves a lot of the anxiety that I would otherwise experience having to juggle/remember these details in my head or in a simple list form.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need an excessive number of metrics and want a platform that your team can integrate and start using with minimal interruption to their work, this should do the job.
Great Tool to Keep up with Projects
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the ability to easily create tasks and organize them into various projects. Then with the click of a button, I can assign somebody to the task, set a due date, and make notes about the project. Being able to upload attachments directly to the task as well is very beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being that it is very easy to add and close out tasks, sometimes I've accidentally "checked" off a task before it was done, and it's sometimes difficult to go back and find it (although possible).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is a great project management tool to keep workers accountable. A weekly update is emailed with highlights and tasks to be completed. I like being able to comment directly in the task and keeping a pulse on everything going on in the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get your team to buy-in to the software and actually use it. Sometimes it can be difficult if not everybody is updating their projects regularly. Remind them that if they are working on something, that they should throw it into Asana too so that you can keep up with the progress.
Asana has a long way to go
What do you like best about the product?
You can create tasks and assign them to people. There's also a chat function where you can mark people with @ so they will be notified.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's just not very intuitive. It's slow to load. There are too many tabs. When you comment on a task and attach a file, the file is always at the top instead of next to the latest comment. If there are too many comments to display, they collapse and you can only see the most recent ones. I wish you could just scroll without having to expand/collapse. When you get an email when someone mentioned you, the preview of the task is always cut off so it's not helpful to even have a preview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking for a task management software that's not focused on software engineering.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would not recommend Asana.
Simple, beautiful way to stay on top of your workflow
What do you like best about the product?
I love the design & UI and how simple it is to use. Bright colors makes for easy organization and a pleasant, upbeat "feeling" when staring at the things you need to do still.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app was weak when I first started using it. They've definitely made some improvements over the last year or so, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. I'm actually in the process of moving away from Asana because of CRM integration complications and not being able to view Gantt charts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying organized and on top of projects and tasks is extremely simple.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great overall solution. Much better from a task standpoint than tools like Trello or 17hats in my opinion.
Project Management, Quick and Easy.
What do you like best about the product?
The array of features are one of the things i like most, everything is at your fingertips. You can easily do tasks with or without a whole entire project, the option to communication via email to the threads is also very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really haven't run into anything that I dislike about the software, the features that it doesn't have because of the pay tier are worth paying for in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past I've struggled with maintaining order once i've hit a threshold of projects at once, asana gave me the features i wanted from basecamp at a price that I can't beat, FREE.
Very robust. The free version is better than expected.
What do you like best about the product?
Tracking, organizing and searching through multiple projects in one cohesive platform. It saves me from wasting tons of time searching notes, emails etc., to remember who wanted what.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit too robust. Adoption has been very difficult among my organization. Not always intuitive and a bit daunting to new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves me tons of time tracking all the threads of multiple projects. Deadlines keep projects tracking and the multiple user conversations keep everyone informed, which has been particularly useful with staff distributed in various locales.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The onboarding is the most difficult process. Adoption has been reluctant with the result that we continue to use multiple tools to communicate, although I rely heavily on Asana. Even after more than a year, I don't use, much less know all the features available, but it's highly doubtful I could wean colleagues off their Outlook Calendars to use Asana's instead. So...if you don't have the buy-in off the top, or tech-savvy colleagues, it could be a struggle getting widespread adoption.
Good project management application
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers a good structure for managing a project or event including delegation of tasks and subtasks, setting deadlines, attaching files, and segregating your projects to specific team members while still keeping everything within one organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the integration with Google calendar was better so I could assign a working time for a task on my calendar instead of just a deadline where it shows up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows me to better track progress of my staff on their various projects and efforts. It gives me the freedom to allow Asana to remind them of deadlines once I have set up (or they have set up) recurring tasks.
Helpful to consolidate all projects and priorities
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Asana is the seamless flow of information from all my team members to me, across multiple platforms. For example, our project manager can be on his phone while travelling, and he can check up on what has been completed and what is still outstanding. The platform is very easy to use and someone with no experience at all can pick it up in less than a day. Plus they have all these fun plug-ins haha. The snow fall for winter, the bats that fly around, and of course, Tab B.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I dislike. I wish that some of the search functions were even more customizable, but we have learned to work around what we have. Maybe a few more report options, and an actual app for the Desktop, because sometimes you either forget to open the web browser, or, even if you have it automatically start, you may accidentally close it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before, the project managers used to have to manually type up the list of priorities each week. That would take up hours of their time. Of course, setting up the program the first time is pretty time consuming, but once you get a solid template, it becomes very easy to see the work flow, and realize what is needed for another step to be completed, etc. And the weekly meeting notes are now automatically populated and print directly from asana, all you have to do is adjust a few of the dates and you are good to go. So it has greatly improved the communication between our team members, especially since our company has grown from 7 employees to around 30 in the last few years, and many are now working remotely. Communication is key to meeting deadlines, and that's what Asana provides for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When considering Asana, it is very helpful to just give it a shot. The trial is free up to a 15 member team? I think. It was 15 members free when we first started, so that might have changed, but if you have multiple teams in your company and you are a larger company, it is worth a shot trying it out on one of the teams. You will quickly see them fall in love with it.
