What do you dislike about the product?
As with all services, there is a learning curve to actually becoming proficient in using Asana, but that can be easily accomplished with a bit of time and practice.
The only thing I want to mention as a negative is the lack of an option to hide team members from the sidebar because they are shown on top of each project.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Based on my experience, Asana is a great tool to coordinate small teams (or startups) and be more productive while keeping an eye on progress and bottlenecks.
Basically a glorified to-do list
What do you like best about the product?
For me the best part is the stuff that doesn't actually move the needle forward, unfortunately. There are fun add-ons like little animated celebrations when you check off a task, which provides a nice little hit of dopamine.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very confusing to use. The Projects can get cluttered, and it's unclear how to add something to your own calendar vs the team calendar, and I end up having duplicate tasks in multiple places because it's just not that intuitive to organize. I spend more time than I would like consolidating lists and confirming deadlines with team members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's nice to be able to keep track of tasks and organize according to which project they fall under. It's easy to 'assign' other team members to projects to hopefully keep everyone in the loop, but to be honest since everyone finds Asana so confusing, I don't know that it actually helps much.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are a small team trying to use Asana and it's fairly confusing. I cannot imagine trying to use Asana in a large team. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Asana for any team, not to mention a large one.
Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
I like the communication between my coworkers on our tasks, I also like the recurring option for tasks. This helps me not have to try to remember my weekly tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it had a few more capabilities. We especially needed something that would also track our customers. I wish it had a few more cheaper options for companies like us ~ 501C3's that are working with a very limited budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
inter office communication is a huge reason i like Asana. i am able to see everything my coworker is doing on each task. how much she has pushed it out, the notes she has made on it, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn what all it can do. very beneficial with inter office communication. take the time to set it up correctly.
Fantastic for recurring tasks and projects
What do you like best about the product?
We do a lot of things on a monthly, quarterly or project basis and Asana lets us easily create tasks, duplicate them and have them on various repeating schedules. Being able to see everyone on a project and seeing the timeline view is also great. The integration with Slack fixed the problem of me always losing conversations in Slack, now I can quickly add to Asana as a task with a follow up due date.
What do you dislike about the product?
We still tend to over-schedule resources because it doesn't flag us when we've assigned multiple big projects to a persona at the same time and it doesn't adjust deadlines or flag things when dependant tasks don't get completed on time so not sure what the significance of dependancies are. You can set up multiple workspaces, eg I have one for my work and one for my volunteer work but you can't get a combined view of all tasks. I wish there was an integration with Confluence for task syncing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our new client and employee on-boarding tasks plus all recurring monthly marketing tasks and one-off tasks are managed in Asana. I use the integration with Slack to make sure I don't lose conversations I need to follow up on, adding files and integrating with DropBox ensures everything is in one place where we need it when we need it.
Ideal for the distribution of projects and teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
I like that through this program I can work in real time, it allows me to manage all my projects, programs, attach comments to the tasks to be done, and allows me to follow up on what is being done.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to have a desktop version since it only has one mobile application and one web application, and sometimes I have problems with the permissions of who can delete or add tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team and I have used Asana for about 3 years to track tasks and stay connected to make sure we do not forget any activities or tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an innovative tool that will allow you to manage your company's projects, keep you informed of your progress at all times.

Astounding, incredible and basic, the hierarchical dream of each group.
What do you like best about the product?
I have checked on local uses of huge names of the market, that don't complete the process of persuading you, they offer you numerous guarantees in functionalities that don't wrap up, that is something that I like the vast majority of Asana, it offers you lucidity from the principal minute, and It gives you in the meantime, a straightforward interface, exceptionally incredible and ready to get any group to work with the aggregate work and shared objectives. What's more, I like that all associates can see in advanced each improvement and accomplishment accomplished of their alloted obligations. Likewise, it has enabled us to be increasingly sorted out with the gatherings and prerequisites of our customers. As the arranging can't be inflexible, because of Asana we have recognized angles that can put in danger the worldwide objectives of the organization, so we have figured out how to help the division that introduces some trouble. As a matter of fact, Asana gives you the full view, it's a virtuoso.
What do you dislike about the product?
Business people can discover in Asana a total stage and truly fit for developing any activity, that is the reason I don't distinguish pessimistic angles to make reference to, I have long stretches of utilization and it is magnificent the capacity they need to rehash themselves in the arrangement of an administration that It looks a great deal like wine, it improves with the progression of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having computerized stages, with staff in various pieces of the world, it is hard to gather all the work that must be done in one spot, since we use Asana as the fundamental authoritative component, we figured out how to lessen mistakes in consideration by half of the clients and we increment the profitability of the organization's specializations. It has a great deal to do with the manner by which we have figured out how to distinguish basic hubs and bolster them among different territories progressed in their objectives. Likewise, we have gotten from our clients a positive appraisal of their necessities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An exceptionally valuable - perhaps important - instrument for occupied work environments. Nice looking UI and shading plan, clear records however not all that reasonable Project Views - not generally excellent for visual individuals. Irritating notices - however perhaps I should simply attempt and decrease the quantity of simultaneous undertakings!
Versatile project management app
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana because it is packed with a lot of features. You can create tasks with due dates and assign it to a team member. You can also store files within the task. There is also a comment section where you can tag teammates. I like the followers list because it easily shows you who has access to the information stored within the task. This is useful especially when dealing with confidential information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a bit complicated when you get started. It is not very intuitive. At first, I am not sure what to click and how to proceed. Sometimes the inbox also gets flooded when we work with a lot of tasks.

Great Collaboration and PM Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely user friendly and clean UI. As a first-time user, Asana is very natural to navigate and create/track projects amongst multiple team members. It's been great for project planning, project tracking, and creating accountability around the team.
Set up is very easy and ramp up period was minimal with 0 pain.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many complaints about Asana. As I only use the basic version, It would be great if there was a live-chat component to collaborate with more team members. Currently, we chat outside of the app via g-chat or slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving strong collaboration and multi-project tracking issue in our organization. Asana has brought shared accountability, ease of use, and clear direction of project flow to our internal team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has been a great service and tool for our team. As a first time user, I found the UX very intuitive and easy to ramp across multiple team members. I love the ability to assign different tasks to different users and swiftly navigate through multiple projects at ease.
CONS: As I’ve used this tool for less than 1 year, t I still find difficult to keep track of subtasks and we don’t know how to move “lifestages” without moving the whole project to the next phase.
It would be great if there was an internal communication system to collaborate in project/app.
Beyond that, I'm not overly familiar beyond the paid functionality, but would recommend for projects both large and small.
