User of asana for a student organization.
What do you like best about the product?
It is an easy way to collaborate on and assign tasks to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an easy way to message others without creating an assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students are able to collaborate on tasks without being face-to-face. This app keeps tasks organized in order to more efficiently complete work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend getting the mobile app to track tasks on the go.
Asana is beautiful and practical.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is far much cleaner and refined than other competitors like Trello and Monday.com. Their minimalist design helps me focus on my work and see my progress easily without being overwhelmed by too much chunky look.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that the free basic account offers only a few features. It’s frustrating for people like me that have a small team and especially for when people what to use the app for personal use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana especially for project management. It helps me keep on schedule especially when I have to split y time between different projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free basic service and check out the features. If there is a free month of worth of an upgrade test it out. It’s worth spending the time in it to set up the right process for your team.
A useful day to day tool
What do you like best about the product?
Working commission makes it very important to keep track of daily assignments. Asana works very well as a single hub to check all of my current and upcoming assignments to keep my schedule organized.
Asana can also have certain tasks repeat automatically, which is very useful if I have a regular weekly assignment or reminder like “update your schedule.”
Asana also allows different assignments to be seen by different supervisors. If I need to contact a supervisor for help I can see which supervisor is attached to my assignment and easily drop a comment to let them know.

What do you dislike about the product?
One issue is that the comment system has almost no organization or subdivision. It’s all just one comment after another, which can make it difficult to find essential information when many people have to comment on an assignment.
Likewise the notification system doesn’t categorize at all. If you have one assignment due, five “likes” from comments, a new assignment added for next week, and an “at” from a supervisor, you will have to read through all of them one by one in the order of newest to oldest.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is the primary management tool used in my business and it works wonders for keeping my schedule manageable. It also helps me feel like I have a clear work/life balance, even when checking my phone or computer. I can schedule specific time to check Asana every day and not worry about being bombarded with calendar notifications about work in my personal life.
Review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how collaborative Asana is, especially in this new COVID era of working from home. It's great to be able to work with your colleagues on something without ever being in the same room. I like that all involved can comment
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a totally personal preference, but I don't like being assigned a task by someone else in Asana. I completely see the value in being able to assign tasks but I cringe when a task is assigned to me without someone speaking to me about it first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us solve how to tackle large projects spread among many departments. We use Asana to plan on our annual reunion weekend which is a massive undertaking. Asana makes the project management for this event easier as we can track progress in real-time.
Since we are all working remotely, Asana allows us to keep informed on the status of projects without having to sit through yet another Zoom meeting.

Easy to use task-management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been great for our team allowing us to easily manage and distribute our work tasks. Custom fields allow us to move projects across form received to progress and completion while seeing our team's overall workload easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're looking into third-party software as it would be great to automatically upload tasks received within our website form, as it can be time-consuming to add every task received into our asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping our team manage tasks more effectively as a group, seeing how much workload is on and provides management an easy way to see how long tasks take to complete and level of workload
"The most practical and modern way of working together"
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an excellent online tool that connects the entire work team in real time, allowing communication, organization and planning to successfully complete the projects in question. Asana is very simple and easy to use, each project has a roadmap. Each task can have subtasks, as well as an assignee, due date, attachments, comments, and tags. These tasks and subtasks are used to track work. (Completely beneficial)
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is incredible and is the right tool to establish organized team work flows, in order to meet the proposed goals and reach the desired objectives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Asana allows me to know the status of tasks and projects in real time, as well as follow the progress of the tasks that each member is working on.
- It allows creating, assigning and commenting on tasks with ease to keep track of what is being done.
- Be able to work as a team visually regardless of my physical location.
- Allows synchronization with Gmail and Outlook.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its operation is really simple, this being one of the keys to success. You don't need previous training to start enjoying the advantages that this tool offers. Its interface is very intuitive and works perfectly for efficient management.
A Good system but only if you upgrade

- Its really good for collaborating and can link into your outlook.
- The design is aesthetically pleasing and motivating.

What do you dislike about the product?
I used to have access to Portfolios and then they changed it so that you could only get this on a premium subscription. Its pretty pointless using it for oversight of all projects in the business without this, but to upgrade to premium you had to do this for everyone in the business even if they needed read-only access to see the overview which is a huge cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting a good oversight of where individual projects are and whats behind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great if you get the full subscription and can have access to all of the features, but its hard to work with if you don't get at least premium as you have to use this alongside other systems rather than having everything you need in one system.
My Asana experience is generally positive.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate being able to include tasks in multiple projects and complete them from anywhere they appear.
I also enjoy the x@mail.asana.com feature to create tasks from email messages.

What do you dislike about the product?
My Tasks sections Today|Upcoming|Later do not always automatically move tasks between sections as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task Management is a primary benefit for me. Keeping team members informs on "nest steps".
Very good, but there's still room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is flexible and has a neat interface – once you get used to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit steep. For experienced users of project management tool it is probably an easy ride, but for people who are new to this universe it can seem rather intimidating to learn all the functions and the apparently cluttered interface, which only starts to make sense after a few hours of trial and error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves the problem of centralising multiple projects and contexts in a single system. It is a great solution for bringing more order to those who manage different projects in different contexts at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an excellent tool, as long as your team accepts and has the time to go through a steep learning curve.
Asana is the most convenient and collaborative tool for greater productivity
What do you like best about the product?
My expectations for Asana are really great "so many" that it has become indispensable for me. I like Asana because it is an online productivity tool for project planning and task management in a collaborative work environment. Asana's main goal is to facilitate teamwork so that staff focus on the goals to be achieved and the work to be done. What I enjoy most about asana is being able to customize everything to my liking, as well as using tasks such as ideas, notes or reminders, and within them "tasks" to be able to list series of subtasks. Subtasks show the same functions as normal tasks, therefore, you can create another list of subtasks within them or as you see fit.
Note: You can sync it to Google Calendar and upload unlimited files

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is: collaboration and daily productivity, that is, idea management, task distribution, document sharing, votes, comments ... It is impossible to highlight a bad feature of Asana, I have never had problems using it, this software is ideal for everything.
