Solid team project tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I've recently started using Asana and it has been a very useful collaboration and efficiency tool. Very intuitive for the most part. UI is simple and gets the job done. Easy to drag and drop tasks. I also like that you can configure your Asana boards in multiple ways: by priority bucket; by IC, or by project. I work across multiple teams and each are using Asana in these 3 different ways. It's a very flexible project management tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is lacking in the different media you can put in tasks. I like to hyperlink, add screenshots, and upload files. This is a weak area for Asana. For example, you can't hyperlink works in the text, you can only c/p the entire link. These little touches add up when you're using Asana daily.
Another thing that is not great is searching for boards themselves. As a new joiner to a team, you'll need to get added to boards otherwise its unlikely you'll be able to find them yourself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using asana to track each IC's work. It makes it easy to see what each person is working on, and similar to Slack, it lets break each project into a thread so you don't need email. You can just search for the Asana task and you'll find all the relevant information about that project right there. Using Asana has definitely cut down on emails back and forth, and also increased personal efficiency because I can find links and docs independently by referring to our Asana boards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering Asana, it's important to look through all capabilities and see how much you'll actually use. I like using Asana on my current team, but I'm using less than 25% of what Asana has to offer. That said, if price isn't an issue, and you can get 100% of your team to adopt Asana use, then it's a good option.
Manage projects in an easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Its interface is comfortable to work, it is modular and practical when it comes to carrying several projects in a single account, that is, I can have projects from several departments, someone else can include me and Asana segments everything, but if I want to see all the tasks in only panel where this my name could also see it. Not to mention how easy it is to manage projects with cards using an agile methodology.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not think of anything, I like it very much. Perhaps more free features would be good, the free version has lost some search / report generation capability. I would like you to add a progress bar to your tasks or projects to better see the progress we are making. However, using your paid product gives you everything you could want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a large team that is decentralized (different departments that handle different tasks within the same project), the tool works well to coordinate each team and meet deadlines. Solved a great business need, which really simplified our project process and organized the team's tasks. I think there's a lot of room for growth. I also like very much all the online resources they provide, frame articles and suggestions all the time.

Asana Review

Manage and manage your business activities
What do you like best about the product?
It is an online platform, with which I can manage my activities and projects as a team, has a very good user interface and easy to use, you can also buy add-ons and integrate them to get more features, something I like about Asana is that Notifies me by mail when there is a change of status in an activity or when something is about to expire.

Some functions can be difficult to manage and sometimes it can be slow at the first start of the section, in addition the free version is very limited and does not have everything necessary to work comfortably.

It is a software that has facilitated my work in the office, since it allows me to assign tasks and activities to my colleagues, I can also keep control and constantly check the progress of the activities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana because it is very practical, it is ideal for small teams since its cost can be high if you have many people in the team.
Great Tool for Multi-taskers
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to have all my tasks for any given project laid out for me in list and calendar views, with deadlines and all. You can also clearly see which project each task is assigned to, when the deadline is, and anyone that is working on or waiting on completion of the task.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside I've encountered is only being allowed to assign one team member to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of our team works remotely and we've been able to assign each other tasks quickly and efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely sit down with the entire team to walk through Asana when implementing. There are a lot of features and everyone should be on the same page with how to use them.

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. Unfortunately, the company I now work in does not use asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Based on my experiences, Asana is a great tool to coordinate small teams in terms of tasks and projects, and be more productive while keeping an eye on progress and bottle necks.
