Great tool for group project managment!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the tagging and task following capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish you didn't have a pay just as much as Asana it's self for the time tracking. I think that is a core feature that should come with basic membership. It would be so nice to allocate a time amount to a task so that the team can see workload in that way. Too much to do is our biggest issue right now and we need a way to prove that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and simple project management where huge issues as our team grew. This has helped all of us work together, keep on track, and helps nothing to fall threw the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always do your research, but asana is what was best for our team.

Simple and effective
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of assigning tasks to my team as well as the ability to see their progress. The progress tab keeps me up to date with how many tasks are complete and how many still remain in a very easy to access interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could assign tasks and projects to multiple people. Some projects require more than one team member and I would like to be able to reflect that in the project. Currently I can only assign the project or task to a single member and they manage additional tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did not have a good project management solution for our team before using Asana. I have been able to track all of our projects much more thoroughly which has allowed me to keep upper management and other teams up to date on progress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the software first and if it meets your requirements you can move to the paid version. The free version works very well for a small team so you can get a good feel for the product before investing your money.
Absolutely Love Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I love the visibility that Asana gives our Stakeholders. Through using Asana we've taken what used to be 3-4 hour meetings and trimmed them down to 30 minute meetings!
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that they don't have a solid Windows Phone app is the only thing that i would say that i dislike about Asana. Considering the tools that Microsoft provides to easily make apps that bridge all 3 platforms, i don't know why people continue to treat us Windows Phone users like the black sheep!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API Integration was easily implemented. Ability to associate tasks with one another while keeping them organized by area of concern, while still providing great visibility and notification of progress has been life changing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely give Asana a shot if you're at all unhappy with your current task software
Excellent project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, Asana was easy to set up and easy to implement. With over 140 active clients our offices needed a strong project management software to help our 20 staff work efficiently and successfully.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no reporting or export feature and the calendar sync is weak with Outlook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to better manage client projects, staff work loads and assignment deadlines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have an implementation plan and processes in place to begin with your team.
Increased Productivity with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana provides a seamless way for my manager to assign tasks and monitor my progress, as well as provide notes for tasks I need to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything that I dislike about Asana. It provides all of the services that I expect it to for a free software, and have been very satisfied thus far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of organizing the workload around the team. It can be hard at times to keep everything you need to get done in order, and Asana provides a seamless way to visualize all of your tasks with their due dates in one place.
The main benefit of Asana is the ability to stay on track and keep all of your tasks in order.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is well worth a try as it has a free version that can be set up in minutes.
Asana helps me organize web design projects.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Asana now offers project management tools in both list and tile formats. I personally prefer the list format. It's easy to see our progress at any given time. It also makes it super simple for me to quickly look at a project and see whether we're on track to finish on time and on-budget. Project management for website design projects can be a nightmare, but Asana really has helped me stay on top of my client work, and has helped my sanity!
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana's user interface can be a bit confusing at times. There are so many capabilities, and it can be challenging to discover what formats and configurations will work best for me. I assume after a while longer of experimenting with formats, I'll get a more concrete system down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped me avoid overwhlem and disorganization in my largest client projects. I used to use Google spreadsheets for project management, and Asana gives me the same benefits, but with more capabilities. My working speed is much quicker now that I have Asana to automate some of my tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the free version, and give yourself time to adjust to the format. There are also helpful blog articles with suggestions on how to organize projects, along with examples.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The satisfaction of crossing tasks off my list. Being able to manage team tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it was easier to disable email notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Miscommunication of task delegation. Asana allows us to be on the same page.
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of asana. You can set up projects in a large variety of ways based on what works for you and your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
it seems like Asana continues to have improvements and feature additions that only make it better - no complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think it is kind of a one-stop shop for project management, etc. It makes it so you don't have to use a ton of different products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think this the best free (and paid) project tracking software out there.
Always in the loop
What do you like best about the product?
Always being in the loop with each team members tasks and the feeling of checking items off a virtual to-do list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the reminders via email are too frequent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to share tasks across our team and leaders are able to assign items to the correct individual within the organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great FREE platform that performs like a paid service.
Asana is a useful - but slow - tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can create multiple projects and just share them with those on the project. I also like that I get email notifications with updates, and that it's a one stop shop for my ongoing projects. I love that when I have future tasks to complete, I can put it on the list, set the due date, and then forget about it until that date. I have been able to plan tasks for the next 6 months with my Asana task list. I also like that I can set recurring tasks to repeat - I do a lot of the same things on a weekly basis, and Asana allows me to automate that so I don't have to keep writing it down or remember all the little weekly tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is very slow, and often takes too long to load. It also crashes regularly, so my workflow is slowed down. I also dislike that on my task list, once an item is on the list, I cannot drag it around on the list. Sometimes I want to put things in a specific order (i.e., prioritize) and I can't do that without deleting the task and recreating it in the spot I want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking progress for individual projects for 40+ people. The benefit is that I can see updates for the projects in real time, without having to have a meeting. I can also customize each project to meet each individual's needs. On the flip side, when multiple projects are similar in structure, I can create them quickly using a saved template. I am also using Asana to keep track of my tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It doesn't look like each company can customize the platform, so you'll have to figure out how to conform to Asana's constraints.
I recommend using Asana to organize team meetings - it's an efficient way for people to see what's on the agenda and add items/comments. It also allows for quick updates from all team members, especially if you have a lot of folks attending a meeting.
