Good collaboration tool for a small group of colleagues
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows us to see all the projects that each member of our group is working on and their expected completion dates. The ability to list all tasks related to each project, create a timeline for the completion of each task, and the ultimate outcomes was extremely useful in keeping everyone on task and informed
What do you dislike about the product?
it was a little difficult to navigate each member's list of projects and tasks, and you need to have all notifications turned on to receive assignments outside of the system. This is only necessary if you do not keep the software open at all times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed us to better manage our time and coordinate with each other, as we always have a farily large number of concurrent projects that overlap one another. By having a collaboration tool, we are able to work with each other without as many time conflicts and keep each other on task for the completion of each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for small groups or departments who need better time management and collaboration tools, but don't want to spend a fortune on software. Its been a great help to our team.
Good platform to share with team
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the ability to track how progress was being made on each project, which task came next, etc. it was also very helpful to assign tasks and projects to other team members from right inside the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it looked good, it wasn’t as visually friendly as a platform like Monday.com. It would be nice if it was a bit more intuitive, and easy to see at a glance what the overall picture looks like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for assigning tasks between two interdependent teams. The benefits are the ability to communicate between teams and team mates easily, as well as track progress on projects. We’ve been able to complete more projects, with more ease.
It was good but needs more detailing
What do you like best about the product?
Helps to keep your meetings organized and actionable.
Track every step of editorial process, from planning to publication.
With Asana, your marketing team can stay up to date with the product roadmap and launch plans.

What do you dislike about the product?
Limit of projects for team calendar. There are work around but it does become cumbersome.
pricing is climbing quickly, especially for new and multi-team users - no built-in Gantt charts - takes some time to understand who will receive notifications of various activities - would be nice to be able to enter more info about sub-tasks without having to open each pane

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sleek and user friendly interface. Mobile App and offline mode work very well. Love the continued development of new features and integrations. Looking forward to using Asana with Slack once I get the hang of it.
This benefits have helped business especially in mobile app development

Good for certain things
What do you like best about the product?
It's nice to be able to move tasks around easily among various projects, duplicate tasks, and assign them to others
What do you dislike about the product?
When there are multiple layers of tasks within a project they can easily become hidden and therefore visually lost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is particularly useful for us in scoping out/timing long term projects and also communications between team (ie. engineering and sales)
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can see the tasks assigned to everyone in the office. I can see their progress as well as my own. Keeps things organized and ensures deadlines are met.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes navigating the pages can get confusing, but I am still learning!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving an organizational problem. Now we can assign projects to people and not forget about who is doing what and what projects have been completed.
Asasna lets you wade in the shollow end until you're ready to dive into the depths
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is super easy to get started with. It is great for newly forming startups (both companies and teams) because there is a lot of value in shallow understanding of the features, but when you get using the system more heavily there is additional depth.
There are a tone of opportunities for customization and those are easy to understand when you're ready.

What do you dislike about the product?
The customization can also work to make the system more complex. Be wary of adding too many fields as they become burdensome.
When we wanted o have full fidelity of information between Jira and Asana, that was problematic. We also need to have better reporting and the ability to roll up information at the project and program levels.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed something very fast. Something we didn't have to train on and something that was reasonable in terms of expense. We were used it to deploy our solution to customers using a Kan ban on Asana. It worked great on an individual customer basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is great if you don't have really intense requirements. There is a ton of integration through apps in their marketplace as well as the larger marketplace. If Asana doesn't have the app, chances are the other side does. It is much better when they both contribute and have a shared integration story.
When think Asana doesn't quite hit they mark, they have a team ready and willing to help you understand how you can accomplish something in the tool. If they don't do it, they were very helpful in terms of recommendations.

Over a year later and card hard Card and list view on the same project.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you test software like this you need to go "all-in" for a month or so - you can't "play around" with it .. you need to manage everything with it. If you are in a big group - then make a smaller beta group first
Great Project Management But Still Relying On Emails
What do you like best about the product?
What I like is how easy it is to setup and manage projects across a team of people. Asana makes it fun for the user as well with their integrations and themes. It is more engaging than a lot of other task management softwares
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do wish they would implement desktop notifications. One of the biggest things for me is to stay out of my email but that is really the only way to be notified from Asana. Sure, you could just live in the program but I’m using different applications at the same time. Could use the phone notifications but I already get enough of them!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First and foremost is a centralized locations for task management for all employees, as well as an easy platform to quickly share relevant documents on the go
Project Management & Tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Communication with my entire team in one place. I am able to upload documents and videos and add others to a thread while assigning tasks and creating project out lines. It is a great one stop spot for things. You can also tag coworkers in comments or threads to ensure they know you are talking to them specifically.
What do you dislike about the product?
I get sooooo lost. I feel like I am constantly losing things in Asana (as in can't remember where I saw it or find it in the program easily) I tend to be a fairly organized person so either our company is not utilizing the layout and features properly or I get easily confused. For example, I may be included on a project and asked to complete something, but if it wasn't assigned as a task to me I have to scroll through the projects or my inbox to find it. Or, if I am assigned subtasks, they all fall under the same title in my task list so I will have to open up each one to find the specific task I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between our team who works across 2 different states. We use dropbox for file sharing, but this platform is great for notes on specific files and tasks assigned. Once we decide on finals, we then transfer to dropbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at examples from other companies on how they structured their organization to see what will best fit your company's needs. That way you don't have to go through and do a bunch of clean up.
A great piece of webware for those looking to plan a project.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use for the product is fantastic, it is really easy to get started adding tasks to projects. The mobile apps also allow you to easily manage your tasks on the go as well. I also like the way that you are allowed to structure your projects; you can create tasks that are dependant on other tasks in order to determine how long a certain project will take based on its dependancies. I also love the dashboard features of the project, as it allows you to see a quick overview of how your projects are coming along
What do you dislike about the product?
One problem for me was how focused Asana was on task management. Some competitors like Airtable and Coda allow much more functionality on top of their database platform such as adding in time trackers. But if just task management is what you're looking for, Asana is one of the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Asana personally to manage my business projects. Asana is a fantastic, quick way to see what I need done, and keeping track of what has been done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think the Gantt functionality that Asana is implementing will be a great boon for people looking for a project management tool. However, it does not come in the free version.
