Easy To Use
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to navigate through tasks and how you can quickly create new task and projects. I also like that you can easily search the title of a task to see whose board it is on at that given time and what the current status is off it. Another great feature is being able to not only mark tasks complete but to be able to go back and reopen them if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some shortcuts aren't easily known and take some time to find. For example, making heading within the subtasks stand out more with bold or underlying features. That wasn't in the quick start and took a little digging into and searching to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deligating and following up on task. It's easy to delegate tasks to others and then follow up on it and watch their progress. It is also a good way to keep yourself up to date on your own task and what you need to do. You can create a simple to do list (and other lists) for yourself to be able to frequently go back and forth to and check and update your daily task.
Simple and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the assignment feature, it allows me to quickly send tasks to team members and I can quickly see how things are progressing in files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I loose a task when assigning it. I think my thumb hits the mouse trackpad and it kicks me out of the assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project updates. I can quickly see where projects are and their status. I can tell when we are waiting on certain items, and what information is missing quickly.
Dont know how we worked as a team without this!
What do you like best about the product?
Project management has been a blessing in disguise. We were missing out on so much forgotten work. We are now on top of every little or large task we are working on. Will never not use this or something similar again.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be a better way to attach files and share larger projects within asan. This is more of a to do list for specific groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not missing out on projects or conversations falling by the wayside.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great program. If you feel lost in day to day work, then this is your solution.
Productive, Intuitive, and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of Asana is the many different views that you can see your "tasks". The feature that I like the most would be the calendar view because you are able to see each departments to-do's and when they are planning and when they will be done. This really comes in handy when you are waiting on others work, for your work to continue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the checked tasks on lists go away. I wish they would stay so you can see what you have accomplished. I realize this is a personal preference and others may not feel the same way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity, mapping out our quarters and social strategy planning.
Our productivity has increased exponentially, as well as our plans for the future or even new ideas. New ideas sometimes come and they would be brilliant but for a later time. Asana lets us house those ideas in certain categories so that we are able to revisit them when the time is right. Our social strategy has been affected greatly, as well. We use Asana to map out and schedule all of the content related posts and can stay ahead of our social game.

Good as a basic to-do list
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana's due date and comments section. I can set up a task, assign a due date, and make comments about what I need to do. I can also change the due date if I wasn't able to get the task. It's a good snapshot of what I need to complete that day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using the free version, and I realize there are many more features available in the paid versions. I don't like that the comments get buried in the task. It would be nice to resolve the comments the same way you can resolve the task. It is also not much use as a project management system. Although, you can have subtasks in a task, there isn't much more you can add then the title of the subtask. This makes it difficult to break larger projects down into smaller sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana as a task list to prepare for a nonprofit Gala. Asana helps us stay on task with reminders of the days/weeks tasks. We can assign tasks to various committee members and they can update their own tasks as they complete them, or assign it to others, if necessary. We also add documents to share with the other group members which makes it easier to find the document when needed, rather than searching emails or the shared drive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Asana as a simple to-do list to keep you on track, but find a more robust software for project management.
Asana keeps teams organzied
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows teams to stay organized, and for individual progress to be tracked. I love knowing exactly what is coming up, and the interconnectedness of seeing my team members progress on prerequisite items so I can prepare for a task to arrive in my queue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana has a variety of helpful options, like sub tasks and follow up tasks, but these are hard to access and not as visually intuitive. I would also prefer tasks assigned to multiple people to stay and individual task, not split into multiple tasks, each with an individual name - or to at least choose an option. Some tasks are truly collaborative, not just repeated.
On mobile, Asana can be difficult to navigate. Because it has so many features, they are crowded together or buried in the app, or eliminated all together (such as options for sorting our how tasks are viewed).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the business problem of separate yet interconnected teams in a small business. I don’t want my tasks to be on a giant list with everyone else, yet I still need to be able to assign things to them and them to me, while taking into account items everyone is already working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a perfect tool to integrate multiple teams into the tasks of achieving overall goals, yet still not sacrificing details. Use the features so see what your part is in the larger picture, or making sure your team is progressing towards the larger goal. The mobile app extends the versatility of the platform, though it does have some navigation concerns.
Terrific for a remote team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been great for organiing fundraising tasks at our nonprofit social enterprise.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adams's basic functions work very well, but some of the links with external programs can be glitchy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is best for a remote team: it can assign tasks, set deadlines, and create clear task lists for project completion, in addition to including links to valid research etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bring your full team onto Asana, and encourage everyone to use it regularly. It makes things far simpler than using a wide range of platforms simultaneously for similar functions.
Easy than Jira and nicer design
What do you like best about the product?
Design and task management is great. I like dashboards and mob application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mobile web version is not so great and some notification is annoying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clients project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are developer try Jira first. we still using it for our main business.
Pretty good PM app
What do you like best about the product?
This program is GREAT for sharing tasks with a team and centralizing discussion points for meetings. My team uses it regularly for update meetings to track status in the same place as the tasks and everyone can see what they were assigned. We also really like that you can @ individual users and have an email sent to you. We also really liked the mobile version. It's a very simplified version of what we see on the desktop application.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's less about disliking and more that there are a lot of components that we have not yet used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We conduct a variety of big and small projects so it's easy to lose details. Asana helps keep things straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out with a group of people over a couple of weeks with a few projects and task list. Just reviewing it won't tell you everything.
Very useful project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
View tasks by calendar is a great way of focusing for a particular day, you can even set exact due times.
Dashboard reports on how many tasks remaining per project are a nice visualisation
Lot of customisable options for setting up templates, tasks across projects
Zapier integration works perfectly with Jira for pushing issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
Conversation view can sometimes be hard to look through especially if there are email chains, would be nice if you could email from Asana maybe to eliminate this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, ensuring no tasks are left behind on a project.
