Asana is a super easy and fast way to communicate professionally in office.
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to use. It is easy and the fact that it has its own app is good so we don't get distracted. I love how you can send gif's to people instead of texting. It gives your life a little more personality.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about the app. It is awesome! It allows you to talk to your colleagues in a fast and easy way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving communication problems. The benefits we've realized is that we can be in contact with others not face to face. It allows us to be more fun with our communication too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's awesome and I definitely recommend it to companies!

Team work in one platform
What do you like best about the product?
An intuitive way of grouping up complex tasks and being sure that everyone is working in the same direction.
Improved our overall cohesion during complex tasks and helped us achieve our goals. Been using this software for 4 months and I am absolutely loving it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Email bombardment when a lot of tasks are being assigned and done at the same time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising 1 large event and we are working more effectively thanks to Assana. W e made major efficiency gains in the planning stage and task assignation also. Everyone knows where to go and when to hand in their work. It is as clear as it gets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great software that should definitely be considered by your business. Really helpful and easy to use
Don't Hire a Project Manager..
What do you like best about the product?
All your project management solutions are on this one web app. You can create projects and view your tasks lists based on due dates. You can easily tag people and check off when a task or project is completed. Uploading files is no problem and the UX/UI is nice/clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have a big team it's going to cost $$$. Sometimes you can get trapped in the worm hole of check off tasks all day. Not much to hate on Asana. I really like it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently don't have a project manager on our team, so this has helped organize personal project and team projects. With Asana we don't need to hire a PM, so in theory purchasing Asana would be a cheaper investment then hiring a PM.
Collaboration is Key
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy to assign tasks between team members so everyone knows what they need to do. Email notifications are sent to team members so nothing gets missed. This is a great platform for small teams working on a budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool is for internal use only. I wouldn't use it to share and assign clients unless I knew them personally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives one platform for everyone to access what they need to do and when it gets done. Make communication clear so less mistakes are made and less deadlines missed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a straight forward system. If you're looking for a single platform that solves all of your management needs, this isn't it. If you're looking for a platform to manage projects and delegate tasks on a budget, Asana is great.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize complex projects so that each person only has to focus on their part of the project while still being able to see the big picture and what else is happening, has happened, and will happen on a project. Being able to log in and look at my list of tasks organized by due date keeps me on track with the many different projects our team has going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful to have better control over items that go on the calendar without creating tasks. Sometime I want to make the rest of the team aware of something going on without assigning a task to someone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management. Trying to organize projects and assign tasks to people using Google Docs was not working. Now that all team members can log in and see exactly what they are responsible for across all projects has saved us time and increased efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to figure out how you are going to organize your projects and make sure someone is responsible for assigning tasks.
Almost everything we need
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's real-time and task-based. I think it's easy to use and sync with my calendar and other file storage systems like Google Drive. I'm also a big fan of the design of the interface and the fact that it's free for our small non-profit to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
My staff has trouble using it because there are fields that should be filled out but that aren't required. For example, we use Asana for monthly reporting to the Executive Director. While I can prompt staff to fill out this project/task, they can't always see it if I haven't added them as "followers." Sometimes I forget because I'm not prompted by the system to name followers. Generally I think the design is easy to use, but it must not be the case for staff less experienced with project management systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, monthly accomplishment tracking, and website article editing and posting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure all staff are sufficiently trained and comfortable working with the software. If they are, this tool will be immensely useful for the organization.
Truly excellent project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana includes just about every thoughtful tool you might need for collaborative task and project management. Our company uses it for huge projects and tiny tasks, from individual to-do lists to multi-year objectives.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it sync'd as well with Gmail as G-tasks does. Being able to instantly convert an email to a task (with an automatic link to the email) and to view those tasks in a condensed format would be great. I tried using Zapier for that but it was too slow and didn't handle conversation threads well enough to be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire engineering roadmap is captured in Asana; we've streamlined everything about how we create, prioritize, assign, and execute our plans.
Great interface, but lacks usability
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a beautiful interface and design. Each page was artfully designed and the transitions are fluid, giving it a very unique feel and environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am afraid Asana can be a bit confusing when moving from one team to another. In addition to that, it's organization of tasks, who their assigned to, and how they're displayed are not exceptionally intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organization expands four separate campuses around our metro. This makes collaboration difficult, and we had hoped Asana would alleviate some of those problems. Unfortunately, we did not find Asana to be more useful than simply scheduling and communicating through Microsoft Outlook.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In order to be successful with Asana, it's imperative to spend enough time becoming familiar with the program. In addition, there must be a total buy-in. For my department, only a few of us liked it, resulting in too few individuals using it, making it useless for our purposes.
Requires discipline
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows you to organize tasks in different categories and share them with different people in your organization. You can assign tasks to others or just let them know the progress of a task. There is a mobile app that works fine and lets you update progress on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires discipline from everybody in the team. Everyone should be convinced it is they way things are managed in the organization or else it doesn't quite work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This facilitates teamwork, and allows you to track tasks. It is also quite good to trace back the history of a project, only if everyone inputs their updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say it is quite useful with groups working remotely, if you have frequent face to face interaction, that will replace asana to some extent and its benefits will not be obvious.
The whole team must use it and commit to update it continuously.

I love Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is simple to organize your tasks and keep a record of what you have completed. You can make your tasks super intricately detailed or super simple just based on your personal preference. I have found I am more productive when using asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike about Asana!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a multitude of tasks that I have to keep up with daily, weekly and monthly. Asana helps me to realize that I can do it!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it. You can share it with other people and set up tasks. It is so much better than using CRM or other "task organizers". Also, you can get the app on your phone and update or complete tasks away from your computer! I even use it for grocery shopping! Don't hesitate, just use it!
