Great project managent tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, very graphical. Great for organization and teams. Great easy conversations, file attachments, and calendars for teams to share information easily, effectively, and naturally. Most teams can use the free version with no problems! Able to upload files just by copy and paste. Very easy to move items around to rearrange or organize things. Can see the full history of how things take place to keep track, incase it becomes he said, she said.
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes a little bit to learn and figure out their terminology and how things work. Some extra features require a paid upgrade, but usually not an issue for larger organizations, but small companies or teams may be an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
working with teams and management. No need to keep emailing the same or updated document back and forth, easy to add a new member to the team to provide them access to all of the materials.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Open a user account to give the software a try and learn how it works by playing around with a sample project or 2 to discover how it works. It takes a little bit to understand what types of organizers and items you can add to a project. Sharing is great and quick and conversations are natural like normal texting or emailing.

Keeps us organized
What do you like best about the product?
The calendar view is really easy to see and keep track of your projects. You can also drag and drop tasks to easily change their due dates. I often assign due dates to keep projects easily in my calendar view and move them around as necessary.
It's also very simple to use subtasks to keep all the little pieces of a project in one place while assigning them to the right members of your team.

What do you dislike about the product?
It logs you out a lot. I appreciate security, but would prefer not to have to log in every day, and sometimes multiple times. Would also like the ability to assign tasks to more than one person to help projects with multiple leaders keep up to date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our remote team uses Asana to track and work on all of our projects. It's helped us more easily communcate project needs and keep our team members up to date on what we're working on. Information on projects is much easier to find when you know it's all in the same place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's worth the effort to switch from your current system. Task tracking is much more visual and easier to keep track of.
Project Management For Any and All
What do you like best about the product?
I like the intuitive nature of the platform. It's like operating a Mac or iPhone - it makes sense to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the overload of features. As someone working for a smaller team, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the options and add-ons that are made available to you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to organize our projects effectively and track the status of ongoing work. Gaps are being close and we've seen our operations shift to become more efficient and more productive. Another benefit I've realized is the accountability aspect, Asana is like having a project manager for everyone in the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try!
Asana review
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to share this with others. I can invite people to collaborate with me right in Asana. Its super customizable so I was able to tailor it to my needs. I use it for my personal life and business. There are different templates that you can use. This is a great tool for any project or life management that you can think of. It took me a while to find the best way to use it, but once I did it make things so much easier for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have to keep the app on my phone for the rare occasions that I need to utilize it on the go. Would rather the email notifications give me more info so I don't have to click through to the app or would prefer it load a mobile webpage. But a very very small annoyance.

Simple and Effective Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy communication with co-workers, task management that is simple even for the most disorganized mind. It is easy to invite new collaborators. Fits perfect into nearly every workflow. Can self-assign tasks or receive task assignments. Love the ability to upload files, which is so helpful for working remotely. Ultimately Asana can be an all-in-one shop for maintaining relationships with contract workers, volunteers, even vendors. Of course, the fact that it is free is any amazing bonus as well! It is also very helpful as a contractor to be able to link different accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The email settings are not as customizable as some people would prefer, and can be a bit clunky. The workflow can tend to get a bit cluttered without diligent upkeep. Wish there was more ability to copy old project templates to new ones. I find I spend a lot of time manually entering tasks that could probably be automated on another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication between people in different departments and roles. It's easy to stay on task personally, and to know when other teams are on task. Creates a healthy culture of accountability that benefits everyone. In fact, we went away from Asana for a while, and now we are coming back. It is unrivaled by any other project management system I have used, and is definitely better than no project management system at all.

Give it a try, there is nothing to lose since it is free!
Significantly improved product

I used Asana many years ago, and wasn't thrilled. However, I gave it another chance and significant improvements have been made. I can now add sub tasks and documents to the projects. My goals are in there and they are trackable. However, I'd really like to be able to search for other related items in an easier way for cross team collaboration.
