Fantastic Project Management and Task Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the clean and simple interface and the fun animations that sometimes appear when completing tasks. I also like having quick access to my Calendar and Files as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way Teams are managed I found is a little confusing as well as switching between workspaces. Adding extra team members and setting their permissions (e.g. only being able to see just their project) I also found to be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using asana to manage topics for my social media and to track special holidays. I also use it to manage my web design projects to keep me on track and productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find the free level of asana suitable for my needs as a freelance designer. However I do not share my workspace with clients at this stage, I simply use it as a planning and project management tool for myself.
Tool for Virtual Meetings

Asana allows for virtual meetings through a user friendly format.

As with any virtual meetings, there are limitations that don’t happen in person.

You can connect teams easily with each other for collaboration.

It is a very simple and streamlined tool for keeping track of multiple projects. Allowing me and my team to stay on the same page during the whole process is very helpful.

The ability to customize features is limited. Not so much a negative more just a limiting feature.

Making sure that myself and my other team members are up to date with the status of a current or future project.

Asana is great for small team collaboration and task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I find the Asana interface very easy to use. There are many different types of views that are appealing to different types of people or roles. For example, I primarily use the list view to plan campaigns, but our Events Coordinator primarily uses the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you cannot assign multiple people to 1 task, you have to create a duplicate instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped with cross-team collaboration. It allows us to have the right amount of transparency within our larger marketing team, not just within our small teams. We were able to create time-saving processes for tasks that are usually time consuming.
Great for creating and completing tasks
What do you like best about the product?
That I can organize projects and meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be really confusing at times and hard to find previous tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Completing projects and organizing meetings.
Asana is for Multi-focused Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for keeping track of deadlines when there are multiple projects going on in the department. I think that the multiple perspectives and views reflect the multiple views they are trying to give you on your project, which is great for helping everyone on the team see the different aspects of the project. I like the dependency flowchart and the timeline view, particularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can get overwhelming if there's a small number of people running a team or working on a single project. It can become an extra chore, rather than a tool. I think Asana could become better at letting users organize their inbox and have a centralized dashboard or platform from which I could mark tasks or correspondence as "read."
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems of Asana, for me, include the inability to easily send files through the platform or to see what files other users are referring to. Sometimes the comments section can get a bit unwieldy! But I've realized the benefit of having a centralized platform of team conversation about a project.
Robust and Flexible Task Management Tool for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about Asana is that they are regularly updating and improving the tool. It gets better and more easy to use with each iteration. It's a great tool for team communication and collaboration. A big feature for me is the robust options for recurring tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first started using Asana it felt overly complicated and a little cumbersome for our needs. It was implemented as "the" tool to use for our organization, so I had to learn to like it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows our team to easily communicate and collaborate. The CSV importer is great for saving a project template and then importing it when it is needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider whether you really need it. There are simpler and cheaper options available out there. I am using it because it is what our organization uses. Also, consider which options are available at different price points of Asana. They will regularly pitch you with these great new features...if you upgrade to the next level.
Asana is a powerful tool in project management.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Asana is being able to visually arrange and sort your tasks. Priorities are constantly changing and with Asana is it easy to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest downside is that other team members can add tasks to your to-do list without notice or any sort of initiation. One morning you can just log in and see that someone has assigned you 40 things to do without any preliminary conversation or explanation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem Asana solves is holding everyone accountable for when projects are initiated and when they need to be completed.
