Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very simple to use, making it easy to jump right in and get started on your first list! Building more onto your platform as you go is as simple as a few clicks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to see the items that are on the list once they are checked off. If that is something you can do, I haven't found it in the settings yet. It would be helpful to see what is completed, as well as what's still remaining.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me and my work team stay on track with our project deadlines with ease!
CanNOT say enough about the power of Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of building projects and tasks while adding notation, dates, and updates! There is so much that I can say about the functionality and intuitive design that this software provides. Not only can I do everything from my app, but the look and feel from Web to app is seamless in design, Making for a pain-free process when trying to project manage. No one likes a clunky interface when they're trying to GSD.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a few more clicks then I would like, and it can be a little bit confusing at first trying to decide where to add notes depending on what level you want the notation added; for example, if you want to add to that the task level or at the project level, you can do either or both, but to see those notes on the task level requires clicking on each task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have so much on my plate that this provides a relaxing flow and understanding of what needs to be done immediately, versus what can be put on a side or back burner or taken off the stove completely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are plenty of Competitors out there, and you'll obviously want to make sure and weigh your options, however, I saw that has very good options for absolutely no price whatsoever, especially if you're a small business owner and don't have a large staff, or you are just project managing you and only you.
Using Asana for Project, Task, Team Collaboration in a Corporate Environment
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add projects, set and track assigned tasks, use a shared calendar, and add attachments makes for a complete Project Management Software. It enables the whole team to know exactly what's going on in a project, who has completed their assignments and gives an at a glance view of the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing and security could be a little more granular. Some tasks and or edits made to the project or templates can be edited or removed by more collaborators than desired.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used it to track Projects ranging from Re-Branding, Website development, and Level 10 EOS Meetings to keep the department heads on task and in the know in every step of the project.
Everyone is kept up to date on every aspect of the task without needing and coordinating countless meetings.
Everyone is kept up to date on every aspect of the task without needing and coordinating countless meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for its shared calendaring, additions of not only tasks but important file attachments to projects. Create custom templates/questionnaires. Use it's dashboard to see the status of the jobs at a glance and dive deeper into tasks to see assignments and statuses.
Useful tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
It makes listing out the steps for a project easy, as you are able to create a project team, assign tasks to individuals and due dates. I also like that alerts you when someone on your team completed a task
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there are not as many capabilities on the mobile version. For example, you are unable to set a status update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used for project management - as I was leading projects, I could figure out how to keep a project on track/stick to a timeline. It also ensures everyone is on the same page regarding a project’s progress
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The version that you pay for is helpful because you are able to set up contingent tasks (eg if one person checks off a task, that notifies the person responsible for a contingent task that comes next that they could get started)
Couldn't be easier!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it so simple to break down projects into smaller tasks, assign them importance, and delegate them to a specific person. It's extremely intuitive and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little annoying to edit tasks or projects when you need to change deadlines or assignees. I worked in a slightly more free-flowing office and the rigidity of Asana deadlines was a constant stress. I had to go in and edit deadlines so often. This software is best-suited to environments that REQUIRE hard deadlines. If you anticipate ambiguous or flowing deadlines, Asana notifications can get old fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Asana to keep projects on track and to ensure that all team members were accountable and on-schedule for their components. It was extremely useful for time-sensitive projects where other team members were waiting on other people to finish a part. If you work in a field where one person is relying on another person to finish something, Asana is invaluable to keep everyone working hard and fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is best for those that :
have hard set deadlines
have large projects where each component or team relies on the previous step to be done on time
need to keep team members accountable

Great options, but free versions is limited
What do you like best about the product?
The Dashboard is a fantastic way to review all projects and task. The built in integrations were nice, especially Google calendar. Having a place to view and share all files from a project speeds up the workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice to be able to customize the dashboard more to show exactly what you need. Would like more options to show the progress of a project. Free version is limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A centralized place for everyone to be up to date with the status of marketing projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great and includes almost every feature you would need if you are willing to pay a monthly subscription. There is a steep learning curve though.
It keeps things moving
What do you like best about the product?
I like the quick communication the interface can convey between two people on a team. There's no guesswork involved with how far along a project is anymore. I don't have to turn around and say "hey bob? Where are you at on this?"
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a few more features. For example, when someone completes a task and I get notified in my email, the email doesn't tell me which project it was from. It gives the name of the task and that's it! All of our project has a final "Send Out to Client" task which means the project is complete. However, if I get 3 "Send Out to Client" notifications I have no idea which projects just got completed without asking my fellow co-workers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By far the best problem we're solving is figuring out where are projects are at in real time. This enables us to notify our client if we'll be finishing something early or late. We also can figure out who needs to step up their game to get the project moving along seamlessly.
Great for task management in teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to make tasks, attach items related to the task, @mention people, use a kanban board, and keep it as a source for where specific tasks are in development. I like the keyboard shortcuts too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It actually took a little while to get used to how flexible it is. It almost felt too open and empty when I first started using it because it can do so much but after you learn how it's used I appreciated the flexibility
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product development/Feature development. I also use a single private project for keeping longer-term tasks in my brain
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's nice and lightweight but still has good functionality for managing communication of tasks in an org.
Easy app for organizing tasks!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love how user friendly this program is. I keep a tab pinned for Asana and every day before starting my work, I check my task list. I can easily change the tasks or assign them to other co-workers. It is simple to use and easy to train others to use as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could sync it with my Google calendar. It would be easier to manage tasks that way. I'm always juggling back and forth to make sure I'm keeping up with upcoming meetings and events while also looking at my task list on Asana. Asana's calendar is alright but I like how I can connect my Google calendar with my phone and be alerted (and have all of my co-workers who are not apart of Asana alerted as well).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management has improved for everyone using Asana. It's easy to get them assigned and given a deadline to complete the tasks. Since the program priorities your deadlines for you, it's easy to organize the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to use it for your own organization and time management, great! I would say that it is better if you are apart of a team and wish to keep delegated tasks organized. It's helpful when the whole team is on the same program, but not necessary. It works for personal or team use. Easy way to keep up with all of your tasks!
Effective Planning App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is like its name. Asana, which means 'EASY" in Hindi ....! It makes planning a breeze and very convenient. Sharing the plans is also very easy.
Reminders, setting timelines, wow, just love it.... and it is free. Attachments, timelines, calendar, to do list, collaboration, all in one place. And that makes it very special. I have been using this app for more than two years now. And, it is very awesome. Syncing calendar with other apps like google calendar is also very easy. You have everything in one place.No matter how many projects you working on, asana can handle all. And, its totally free to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface is bit less customizable for me. it should have more customizing options. I would have loved that. it feels monotonic sometimes. More colours, more backgrounds will make it very fun to use. More themes should be added to the app. interface could have been bit better But, nevertheless, the features it provide are quite powerful to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, planning and sharing has become very easy. and we make sure we are on same page everytime, when we plan and execute. To Do list is very helpful and new calendar feature is quite advanced from other calendar apps. Attachments can be added with ease and different projects can be handled at same time. Timelines can be made. It help us in collaborating in very easy way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should definately give it a try.
