Asana the solution for small businesses??
What do you like best about the product?
What is a web and mobile application designed to improve communication and collaboration in light equipment and easy to use without anything complex only the functions necessary for an efficient and effective communication so as to achieve a good performance of a joint task.
What do you dislike about the product?
A very typical error of these applications is that the pro version is very expensive. On the other hand the version tends to create an error and close in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
That while I have an active task I can perform subtasks, tags and sections, in turn I can associate those tasks with projects and be more precise when monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to lower the cost to the Pro version so that more users can buy the application.
A helpful tool for to-do lists.
What do you like best about the product?
Several things I like:
I like that you can have comprehensive lists. Sometimes I have projects that have several to-do lists for parts of the projects and this keeps everything together yet separate. The sublists option is really, really helpful to keep things organized.
It's very helpful that you can tag lists to make it easier to find your information.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing really to dislike, I enjoy the layout and tools available (especially for free.) It would be nice if you could customize more of the features like color and fonts but that COULD be a service offered if you upgrade which I have not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I just this for my small business, keeping track of to do lists. I am also currently incorporating the use into the non-profit I work for. It's also nice to log on and see your list but you can use your phone to get to the list when you are out and about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time to really explore the features and watch tutorials online. There are a lot of free courses and advice so you can not waste time re-inventing the wheel.
Very Useful
What do you like best about the product?
Staying organized is easy in this program. It allows you to keep track of multiple projects at one time, and include collaborators, who can receive updates as the project progresses. The best part of the app is having the ability to set up clear deadlines, expectations, and instructions, in one organized place. Accountability is key in our business, and this allows us to track individual projects at the progress through the production process. Without some way to stay organized, we would be relagated to the old days of emails and post-it-notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a way to set up more conditional filtering. The more projects you have, the harder it is to keep track of what each one's status is at any given time. I would like to see the service create a way to filter your projects by due date, status, and collaborator. It would make the app a lot more powerful if notification could be global for certain aspects, such as completion of projects, but select notifications for non-critical updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large group project management across multiple departments with upwards of 10 individuals. The software allows us to keep each other up to date on all of our pending projects without having to result to phone calls, text messages, or emails. Now we just check the app before we interrupt our colleague with status updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a powerful organizational software that can be up and running quickly with new team members and collaborators.
Free and easy to use task management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a free tool, yet full of features. It even has a mobile app that syncs well with the web site. My husband and I used it to keep track of all the tasks we needed to do to sell our house. It was nice to be able to assign different tasks to each other and mark them off as needed. We also added comments to the tasks whenever we'd make a phone call or needed to add any other notes. This is a great tool for business or personal use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest complaint I've seen is regarding the performance of the app. I've seen people say that it is slow. This has never been a problem for me personally, but it might be worth Asana keeping an eye on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For business we have used the tool to track tasks and assign them to specific people. Asana also allows us to set due-dates which makes it easier for us to check in on the status of what everyone should be doing.
A powerful tool for teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about asana is the ease of use and the fact that you can separate large projects into smaller ones and assign them to a group of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything negative to say about the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are no business problems that I'm solving with Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have the inbox notifications be sent to our Gmail accounts.
Asana is great for managing team projects or for just keeping yourself organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the layout and user experience of the program. Asana does a great job of making it effortless for you to create projects, organize these projects into task, assign these task to other group members, and set deadlines that reveal timelines for the overall project.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm with the platform was the notification and outgoing task settings. Regarding notifications, its really difficult to keep the team from being overwhelmed with email notification for task updates and completions. Regarding ongoing task, it seemed cumbersome to update task completion when task are ongoing, which resulted in task going undated when they were reoccurring
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really allowed for my team and I to visual project timelines, and to appropriately allocate man power for task completion. I really enjoyed the fact that it was pretty self standing versus something like a slack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation for Asana would be to pair it with something like google drive or dropbox. It is great for organizing projects, but you will still need to house and organize these projects. Other than that Asana is a great stand alone app.
Reliable and user-friendly project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana very easy to use. Some of the other project management software I've used isn't terribly easy to navigate but I don't have that problem with Asana. It's literally a list of tasks within a project and you can section them out, make subtasks, assign to coworkers, create due dates, etc. All the basics but in a much more digestible format.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are little things I wish it did, like being able to edit comments or use rich text editing within a task (I often find myself wanting to highlight a piece of important text). It would also be nice to assign a comment to someone or have multiple assignees for a task if it's a collaborative effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are extremely task oriented and work in an agile environment. Asana is an easy way to keep all the tasks organized. We also utilize templates, custom tags, and other features. I also like the ability to have an "inbox" so it notifies me when someone comments on a task I'm following, and the messaging within a project for members only. It makes it easy to communicate with a team on a specific project without having to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to others because of its ease of use. It's very digestible and I never have a hard time finding what I need within it. There are, of course, things I wish it would do but the support team is very responsive and helpful. I feel like they do consider new suggestions from users and appreciate feedback so they're always coming out with something to improve upon it.
Asana is Amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana for over two years now, and it's the best task management system I've used yet. The way you can manage various projects and assign multiple projects to tasks is probably my favorite feature. I really love that you can also use task feeds and add them to your google calendar and other apps like slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a little underwhelmed by the chat or commenting section of Asana as it seems a little cluttered. I feel also that the sub-task feature is a bit confusing to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it every day to write down both business and personal tasks to remember to do. I've had a great peace of mind using this form of task management. The sleek and clean looks keeps all my tasks always at reach and organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try List view for most projects. Try sticky note view for only brainstorming tasks.
Great tool for small groups & teams to keep organized
What do you like best about the product?
This is very convenient for scheduling and managing large groups of tasks that span across departments or teams. The calendar feature is also very useful, as is being able to tag projects and organize by importance or level of urgency.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike, although it would be great if it had more calendar integration in the lower plan levels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminates (as it claims) the need for massive email threads which copy entire departments or teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool, start with the free version and go from there! (It's the type of tool that grows on you)
Easily Organize Your Work Tasks for Yourself
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was very simple to use; I was able to quickly create tasks and assign them to specific days. I was also able to add specific notes and continuously update the tasks as I progressed with my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only confusing items were "projects" vs tasks....it took me quite a while to understand what the difference were between the two.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, I want to make sure I am hitting my deadlines, speaking to the clients as promised, as well as remember all the details that went with every appointment. It definitely is a great memory jogger and helps me gain better trust with my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a task software to help you stay accountable to your deadlines as well as keep meticulous notes on events, Asana is a great platform. This is also a great tool to use if you are working a project with multiple people, and you can set sharing properties to collaborate or keep projects private.
