Good Management Tool In Slow Growth
What do you like best about the product?
As a project management tool, Asana takes the lead because of the ease of its context menu and because as soon as you enter the platform you can already make notes on the tasks to be performed. The platform is very flexible and adapts to the needs of each type of professional. It is very nice to find templates for different departments already pre-configured, saving you time in the design of templates. Adapting to the platform only requires a few hours and for this I recommend to see some tutorials on Youtube on this platform. It is good to emphasize that the roadmap of each project is well focused on deadlines, attachments, tags, comments in the style of any social network and tasks and subtasks. There are many options to write things down and keep track daily with a fairly interactive and fun interface but with some flaws that I will comment below on the disadvantages that Asana presents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes checkboxes and text boxes where details about tasks are entered can be removed very easily because they don't show confirmation messages when deleting items. This is aggravated if there are many members making modifications within the same project in Asana. With regard to custom fields, they are well focused but remain very basic to represent major projects, at my discretion prioritize text fields low, medium, high or indicate the status of the task pending, in progress or pending final approval, lends itself to confusion due to the little organization that present the Asana boxes. I am in favor of the inclusion of virtual folders where each set of tasks can be stored and not have them all piled up on the main board because it creates stress and confusion.
I also miss the integration of a chat within the platform to have the possibility to send messages quickly to colleagues or to ask questions or clarifications that do not require writing an unnecessary comment in the structure of projects. While these comments give a Facebook-style interaction to Asana, it should only be used for comments of highlights regarding the project.
The price at the moment does not seem attractive to me and I prefer to use the free version while expanding the projects, apart from this I can only suggest the Asana team to make significant changes within the platform to be used more because I feel it is becoming obsolete and unattractive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The program has managed to solve some problems in the organization of minor projects within my personal and professional chores, at times I do not consider it as the first option for the organization of projects because it has become very outdated with respect to the addition of a context menu more friendly and less prone to errors, also I would like to see a downloadable version to not consume so many resources using the web browser.
Great product!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the connectivity the program provides without busying up email.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit hard to make dependencies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connectivity
Amazing Integration tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Email bridging feature is outstanding and also the support of HTML and mobile sites. The fact that it can be integrated with the other apps that you have been using, makes it a perfect choice for organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of Asana is that it's not very easy to understand in the beginning. Also, it lacks a built-in feature of chat room.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing task, post about deadlines and notes with team members is a very essential feature.
A good one stop shop for organizing your team
What do you like best about the product?
I liked having one place to check as soon as I came into work each shift and know where my coworkers left off on any projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be a little confusing to navigate from the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was helpful because we have shifts as short as one hour and in order to get anything done, we have to have a way to let people know exactly where we left off so they can pick up where we left off.
Great app to use
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and intuitive interface makes it a great app
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s no ability to add semi-steps for big tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the simplest way to manage tasks and teams and keep everything organized
Pretty good.
What do you like best about the product?
Adding tasks and then bullets under tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app. The interface is tricky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of deadlines
Easy to use, no training needed
What do you like best about the product?
It was super easy to just create an account and start using it. My work uses another project management tool that has more features than the free version of Asana, but I don't need the bells and whistles.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the cooler features are only available as a Premium member, which I guess is understandable. So the free version really is no frills. I also wish that when I pick a view (List vs Timeline vs Calendar), that it would save that view so I wouldn't have to always switch to that. Minor issue though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of little tasks related to an ongoing project, so Asana is really helpful for keeping track of all of those smaller deadlines. I also use it to communicate with my organization's web developer. It keeps us both accountable so things don't get lost in email.
Good to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
What do you like best about the product?
The ability of Asana to easily schedule and collaborate on tasks within a team or department.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it can get quite noisy if you are following many projects, then it takes lots of time to wade through where you are added and to adjust notification settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To ensure that in meetings tasks are followed and communication on the progress of a project is instantaneous and moving.
I’ve only had positive experiences working with Asana.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how organized you can be, primarily while being on a team/group to assign tasks and see what has gotten done, what needs to get done etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t love how the app version is missing a lot of features you get on the desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working in a research lab, it is often difficult to keep track of who is doing what on a project. This is such a great way to stay organized. I also use it for individual purposes to make lists of everything I need to do and for when, so it makes me more efficient at work
