Keep Track of Projects and To Dos
What do you like best about the product?
I use this as my to do list. I can add any new assignment that gets handed to me on here and just have a running list of what I need to get done. If I want I can break it out further but right now I just use the one list. I also lots of tags to my to dos so I have an idea of what is what at a glance.
I like the project feature and wish we used it more at work. It's an easy way to assign people tasks, keep track of what's being worked on and by who and allow them to update or complete tasks as needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I can't set reminders on tasks (that I've found). I like tracking my to do list, but I also wish I could forget about some items and have it remind me to think about or work on it later.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our product development team uses Asana regularly and I think it works really well for them in assigning projects, tracking progress, and communicating quickly (since they're not all in the same office).
I use it to manage my time and assignments and it means I don't forget any assignments and I can prioritize what I work on.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend it, for projects, accounts or a to do list, it will help regardless of your need. If you don't use something like this already or are looking for an alternative, this is an excellent option.
A review of Asana task management software
What do you like best about the product?
When working in a team, it's really nice to have all of the to-do's (and who's assigned to do them) right there in the dashboard. It takes a little getting used to, but once you do it's a really well-rounded platform where you can provide a lot of detail to other members that might be involved with a project. In the projects I was involved with, Asana helped us stay on track and get things done as a group, even without meeting regularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve - at least there was for me. It didn't seem to be the most "common sense" tool that you could just pick up and start using. I had to play around in the platform for a bit to get used to it. Also, if someone drops the ball and doesn't report what they've done, things can tend to get disorganized. EVeryone needs to be committed to using the platform as they're working!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Asana to coordinate a research project with fellow classmates. It was very helpful since we were all moving in different directions and didn't always have time to meet regularly. Asana let us all report real-time when we had accomplished our assigned tasks. We were even able to connect with each other individually to ask for help/advice/etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once you get past the learning curve of Asana, it really can be a quite useful tool for task management. I found it especially useful while working with a group of peers to conduct a research project. It helped keep us on track!
Excellent program
What do you like best about the product?
This program is great for organising lists of thoughts and keeping you and your team organised.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there was a little bit more interface with list boards - similar to Trello. Or better calendar features like assignments that alert on calendar days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping our ever growing team organised and trying to build our brand to expand even further than our current reach. We have noticed a strong rise in functionality and ability to stay on task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely play around and see if it fits your teams needs. It’s got a lot of great features!
It keeps things moving
What do you like best about the product?
I like the quick communication the interface can convey between two people on a team. There's no guesswork involved with how far along a project is anymore. I don't have to turn around and say "hey bob? Where are you at on this?"
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a few more features. For example, when someone completes a task and I get notified in my email, the email doesn't tell me which project it was from. It gives the name of the task and that's it! All of our project has a final "Send Out to Client" task which means the project is complete. However, if I get 3 "Send Out to Client" notifications I have no idea which projects just got completed without asking my fellow co-workers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By far the best problem we're solving is figuring out where are projects are at in real time. This enables us to notify our client if we'll be finishing something early or late. We also can figure out who needs to step up their game to get the project moving along seamlessly.
Great for task management in teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to make tasks, attach items related to the task, @mention people, use a kanban board, and keep it as a source for where specific tasks are in development. I like the keyboard shortcuts too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It actually took a little while to get used to how flexible it is. It almost felt too open and empty when I first started using it because it can do so much but after you learn how it's used I appreciated the flexibility
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Product development/Feature development. I also use a single private project for keeping longer-term tasks in my brain
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's nice and lightweight but still has good functionality for managing communication of tasks in an org.
Easy app for organizing tasks!
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love how user friendly this program is. I keep a tab pinned for Asana and every day before starting my work, I check my task list. I can easily change the tasks or assign them to other co-workers. It is simple to use and easy to train others to use as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could sync it with my Google calendar. It would be easier to manage tasks that way. I'm always juggling back and forth to make sure I'm keeping up with upcoming meetings and events while also looking at my task list on Asana. Asana's calendar is alright but I like how I can connect my Google calendar with my phone and be alerted (and have all of my co-workers who are not apart of Asana alerted as well).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management has improved for everyone using Asana. It's easy to get them assigned and given a deadline to complete the tasks. Since the program priorities your deadlines for you, it's easy to organize the day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to use it for your own organization and time management, great! I would say that it is better if you are apart of a team and wish to keep delegated tasks organized. It's helpful when the whole team is on the same program, but not necessary. It works for personal or team use. Easy way to keep up with all of your tasks!
Effective Planning App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is like its name. Asana, which means 'EASY" in Hindi ....! It makes planning a breeze and very convenient. Sharing the plans is also very easy.
Reminders, setting timelines, wow, just love it.... and it is free. Attachments, timelines, calendar, to do list, collaboration, all in one place. And that makes it very special. I have been using this app for more than two years now. And, it is very awesome. Syncing calendar with other apps like google calendar is also very easy. You have everything in one place.No matter how many projects you working on, asana can handle all. And, its totally free to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface is bit less customizable for me. it should have more customizing options. I would have loved that. it feels monotonic sometimes. More colours, more backgrounds will make it very fun to use. More themes should be added to the app. interface could have been bit better But, nevertheless, the features it provide are quite powerful to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, planning and sharing has become very easy. and we make sure we are on same page everytime, when we plan and execute. To Do list is very helpful and new calendar feature is quite advanced from other calendar apps. Attachments can be added with ease and different projects can be handled at same time. Timelines can be made. It help us in collaborating in very easy way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should definately give it a try.
Asana is very helpful at team collaboration and organising your own tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy, quick to setup, whether you have a large or smaller team. Asana can be very flexible, (pro version) you can organise and help your team managing tasks, workflows and set up re-curring tasks.. Very responsive tool to collaborate, upload docs to a task and add sub tasks, assign, comment etc. I also like seeing the tasks regrouped in one single page, so I know what needs my attention. Useful for coordinating and assign tasks to team members (pro version) whilst keeping an eye on them. I like that you can switch the feature "Remind me to update the status every Friday" on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a few things I dislike - on Free version they advertise "Unlimited tasks, projects and conversations" you can assign it to others but you cannot review it after - as "Tasks I've Assigned to Others" are only available when paying for premium version. They should allow you to add at least one team member. Secondly, I'd like to see much better formatting options in the "description and comments boxes".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to track tasks and It has helped me stay organised and know what tasks i need to get done on a daily basis and keep my to do lists in one page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bear in mind I do like the tool, I think it has great features but also lack some vital ones. I.e: Sub- tasks labelling, chat during projects, and better Kanban boards...
You can use Asana for many things such campaign launches, team meetings and integrations, charts and more.
With that in mind I think Asana should not be called a complete project management tool. Asana can and will help you collaborate with your team and others to assign primary tasks but soon will become complicate if you are looking to add many hundred sub-tasks to your project.
However,I would say this - it should be considered one of the best collaboration and productivity apps in the market. I haven't followed them lately, so I don't know if they're looking to add new or improve existent features. Up to you to try it and see if the tool could be an ideal match for your business and/or team. Good luck!

Great project management and tracking program, but requires 100% attention from the team
What do you like best about the product?
For me, as a manager of a team with folks from multiple geographic locations, Asana helps to close some of the gaps of tracking daily activity, making sure we're constantly meeting deadlines, prioritize tasks, and collaborate with colleagues. It's a fantastic tool with a slick and user-friendly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn’t have all of the features necessary to effectively manage projects, teams, and individuals. Features like time tracking, workload reports, cost tracking, etc. Also, it requires full attention and maintenance from each member of the team. If there's a deadline in Asana and a user is avoiding it without updating comments, new deadlines, etc. - it makes the software pretty much useless to everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better tasks management across geographies and functions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dedication from your team is mandatory. Without it - you're going to fail with Asana.
User-friendly Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like how there's different formats for projects that can be planned- list view versus a "notice board" format.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to add more details for a subtask within a main task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this for wedding planning. It's a very versatile tool that allows me to communicate with the bridal party in a user-friendly fashion. I learned about this application previously through a vendor we were working with at work. The format was good so I adopted it into my personal life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be great if somehow the individual smaller tasks could break down into one more level for more details rather than just a short description.
