Intuitive tool
What do you like best about the product?
very straightforward and user friendly. Features are intuitive, and new features that they are rolling out are consistently helpful and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could add tags to subtasks, rather than only being able to do so on parent tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enables clear accountability by person with deadlines, and sort/filter based on tags
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool alone is helpful, but it is worth considering pairing it with a broader project management approach, such as agile project management.
ASANA REVIEW
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was very helpful with assigning tasks for members on my team as well as setting deadlines for completion of those tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like how the formatting of the tasks was set up. I wish there was more color coordination to differentiate tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to assign tasks directly and set soft deadlines that could be adjusted if need be. I found that it helped me to organize my tasks for my personal to do list as well as assigning tasks for other members o my team. Some need additional organization help at times so it was helpful to have directly on their phones so that they can access the information at home if need be (or on the go). It also allowed for collaboration which was very helpful.

There's nothing mayor I dislike about Asana. There's something I wish they could improve and that's when I'm editing a project and adding many tasks my parter or other team members would get tons of emails with notifications and it bothers them.

Working with other team member and making sure we are all informed of everyone's tasks and projects.

Multitasker’s dream
What do you like best about the product?
It is “clean,” that is, it’s easy to look at and follow along with. It makes multitasking easy and ensures all of my day’s work is completed in a timely fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to categorize tasks. When completely a task for the day it doesn’t pop back up under the specified project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me to stay more organized and on track with the multitude of projects and daily tasks I have to complete.
Task and Project Management Gold
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool to manage tasks and projects on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly level. Easily invite coworkers to a team, build projects under that team, assign out tasks, add due dates, and even sync with your Google calendar. Additionally, they send you reminders when tasks are due with a daily/weekly digest. You can attach files/URLs to tasks, making it easy to keep track of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of Asana that I have encountered is annual repeating of specific tasks that don't fall on the EXACT same day each year, but around a similar time. I have yet to figure out how to easily achieve that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving the problem of divvying up a former co-workers work, so we can all see what there is to do and then assigning out tasks as they fit into our regular cycle of work so that it is all finished but no one person gets overwhelmed. Additionally, we all work on our Annual Conference planning, and so tracking all the tasks/timelines to have a successful conference in Asana makes all of our jobs easier because we can see when tasks are completed or if someone needs something to complete a task, they can message through Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to organize yourself or a team of people to keep track of projects and make sure nothing slips through the cracks, I highly recommend Asana. It takes some effort to set up, but as you use it, it becomes second nature to add tasks/projects in there so you can easily track productivity and completion.
Using Asana for personnal projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use and customizable. I can organize the works easily in differents projects. I usually create one project for a backlog, and one or more for the sprints. The new members understand very quickly the product, and are participate actively thanks to the notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't prioritize or add estimates to tasks, and I can't connect the tasks to a repository (source code).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to create web and mobile applications. With Asana I can easily write down the tasks and select the importants one. I can follow the progress of a task thanks to the comments. I use it everyday to validate and update the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Split the project into severals sub-project in Asana. Don't hesitate to be creative and to adapt the product to fit your needs.
A useful project/task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has a user friendly interface that allows for simple integration into any project/workflow pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like a few other similar programs, initially it can be overwhelming with setup, deciding how it best fits your needs and applying it to your pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely I find myself more task driven and eager to fully outline my task so that I can see them all in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
All is yourself to get things in proper order and see the full process of how it applies to your business.
