Amateur Asana user
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to see progress for our event planning
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't used it enough to dislike anything!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All data in one, shareable location. No worries that someone is working off an outdated document.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't try to make it be something it isn't. One of our teams wanted to use it as their sole source of internal communication.
Does the job
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the simple, user-friendly interface of the Asana app. It does a nice job at keeping our team on track for daily goals and large projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be break daily tasks into subtasks. As an alternative we list subtasks in the comments section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is keeping our marketing team organized and informed as to each individual's daily tasks and deadlines. This is our first time implementing such software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give a 30 day trial
best project management tool I've used, but hard to get buy-in
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is complicated without being confusing. There are projects, cards, tasks or to-do items. You assign who is part of what, due dates, you can comment, attach things, leave notes. It's superior to Basecamp and Trello, by miles.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle to get non-project-based folks to use it. Software, marketing? Sure. Sales? Nope. Then again, salespeople resist structure of all kinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to track longer-term projects with multiple deadlines and deliverables. It has reduced stress by bringing to-do items onto the screen vs living in my head or a spreadsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would look at how complex your projects really are - if it's just to-do lists you want to track, use Todoist.
It's complicated, in a good way.
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of detail involved into creating a workflow that provides the company with controlled project management. It allows you to set up multiple projects, simultaneously, and within each project splinter into separate tasks that have jobs for individuals to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has the function to create a calendar, but it doesn't allow you to shrink the size of the projects so you can see over 5 timelines together. The interface is quite bad for that function.
Also, I was using it to create many similar projects, but the template function and the copy/paste function is bad. It made it tedious to create a new copy of the same timeline with the same goals/tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Made it easier for the company to understand how each project should be prioritised and what elements need completing by when. We have a lot of projects going simultaneously, so it is difficult to know where to project our prioritise, but this allowed us to work it out and understand our focus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I haven't used any other project management software other than Trello, so it's hard to compare as it entirely depends on what you need it for. We needed it primarily for the timelines and I feel there are probably better and easier software available out there. I do regret getting it somewhat, as there might be a simiplar solution, but for the price, it is good. Plus, if you are looking for mainly to use it to give tasks, it is very good in that department.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ability to get assigned tasks by other people and have a deadline be assigned for when an assignment is due. This is very beneficial for multiple tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option in being able to collaborate with people for tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I am being assigned Salesforces trailheads as an intern. It is nice to have the due dates feature like I mentioned before.
Keeping time with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
We love that we as a team can set timelines together.
What do you dislike about the product?
We at this time don't have anything we dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this in a unique way with our in-house teams. We have set timelines we can also share with outside clients.
Helps Manage Task Okay
