Clean and efficient way to manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very collaborative and allows each user to see all statuses and details of every project in the company. Users can comment and tag other users to keep all parties updated. Project statuses and ownership help managers stay on top of multiple ongoing projects at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way tasks and subtasks are organized makes the platform confusing to use at times. Sometimes to many email notifications for task due dates are sent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to efficiently manage projects with Asana. Instead of searching for email chains regarding the latest status of a project, we do a quick sweep in Asana for updates. Executive management is able to see everything that has been completed within a certain time frame by pulling a report of Asana tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of intuitiveness on the calendar functionality, don't find it as effective for seeing feature development as JIRA
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving inter-team task tracking, the collaboration of projects. Benefits include the ability to collaborate easily and notification systems are better than other tools I've used

Consider use this more as a task tracker rather than a true project management tool - hard to track the progress of tasks, or the flow of the project cycle.
User-friendly.

Decent Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Visually, it is very calming. Some people around the office pronounce is like ass-ana, which is also nice. Integration with Slack has also been helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tasks seem to get lost easily. A better way to bucket tasks together would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing tasks. For a long time, tasks weren't all located in a central place. Then we started using Asana and we ended up preventing a lot of overlap and lost assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into other alternatives. Hive and Trello have been great for what my current company does. Asana worked well for the smaller firm I used to work for though.

Managing project between team
Using what the Client Wanted me to use
What do you like best about the product?
It works well for small teams that are new to project tracking/communications platforms. Easy for most to understand. However, there are better packages if you have complex projects with large teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't reply to the alert email - must go into the package to update, respond or message. Not intuitive in use. I don't like the charting/project progress method - as it is not based on a percentage completion but a user deciding it is "complete" or blocked. You need to be very specific with subtask titles, it is easy to get lost if multiple tasks have similar subtask names. The team got confused multiple times with the subtasks, recording changes in the Master Case/Select Vendor (task/subtask) that should have gone to Retail Box/Select Vendor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing the transfer of a supply chain from Africa to North America.
Asana: Useful when you use it your way
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of the structure--you can build out teams and projects in whatever way you like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the complexity of the dependencies and sub-tasks occasionally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a collaboration and project tracking tool. It is a great way to lump conversations, resources, and project history in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know how your team plans to use this program and make sure everyone agrees.
