What do you like best about the product?
With Asana I can trace my projects and tasks in a simple way, be it a marketing campaign or a project launch, Asana allows me to create lists of objectives and tasks so that all their teams are up to date. You can also create activity plans, you have many options to share information of all kinds, whether files or documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana allows you to integrate third-party add-ons, but many of these are usually very expensive, their interface is updated however the first time you use it it will cost a bit of work to understand its functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me a lot to maintain communication with my team, with asana I can achieve my goals quickly and in this way I can meet the deadlines of projects and tasks at work.

The Ease Of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to see what needs to be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
How some tasks seem a little jumbled. It seems like sometimes, the tasks have too much going in. It may need to be separated out a little more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables me to see what needs to be done in order of urgency. It makes my job as well as the other people I work with, jobs a lot easier.
Project Tracking that Works, for Orgs, Teams, or Individuals
What do you like best about the product?
I love the intuitive organization of the interface, the ability to add tasks and sub tasks, to have conversations about tasks and projects, to work with different workspaces, to check the progress on different goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't seem to jive with everyone's organization style. Though it works for me, some of my colleagues are simply baffled, so they don't collaborate well using the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Breakdown of complex projects, and tasks, prioritization and completion tracking.
Great transparency for the whole team
What do you like best about the product?
I love that the entire team can lay out our projects and hold each other accountable while I'm able to segment my elements more on my personal board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could put all of my boards on one Master Calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With different hands at different places in projects, it was hard to see where everyone was and what roadblocks we were hitting. This was a way we could document our projects, keep everyone in the loop, and hold all of our necessary items in one place and not a million emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great platform and accomplishes many things in one. Before getting too far in the using process, make sure that you have your organization process laid out and train everyone on it. There are many ways to use this program but for company wide projects, you need to all be using it the same way.
Quick and easy collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to using joining this company and using Asana, I had been using a different, but similar software program for project management and collaboration. I find Asana to be easy for getting everyone involved and particularly like the tagging function and ability to separate different tasks by those responsible for completing them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the left taskbar to be slightly cumbersome to navigate, particularly if you have multiple lists of tasks you need to keep track of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greater collaboration and project management, with fewer emails and "progress updates" to keep track of.
Great for project management - large or small!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for individual project management or the entire departments project management. The view options are perfect, I prefer to see things as a calendar, while others on my team prefer the stickie note view. The tagging and tracking is fantastic, and the integration with Slack is my absolute favorite thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is more on the department and team, but there isn't really a clear format for tagging and naming conventions - things can get scattered and confusing very quickly. It helps to go in with clear directive and having one person or tiger team own the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The department is trying to track timing, task allocation, progress on projects etc. all while providing visibility across the team into what is upcoming and what the status is. All of things things have been realized and are benefits. We've tried using Jira and Basecamp in the past, and Asana really gives us everything that we need across the board.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried a few of these tools over the years, and Asana is the best one out there for our needs. Collaboration, project management, and visibility across departments.
A great tool for specific needs
What do you like best about the product?
Love the timeline feature, and the ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features that just don’t work logically, or are otherwise complicated where they don’t need to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s hands down the easiest tool (timeline) to plan a project with. Saves a lot of time and headaches there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a true trial run before implementing fully. There are some things that you’ll only find out through putting it to the test.
Great organizational tool - helps us stay on top of campaigns
What do you like best about the product?
The task organizations system works very well
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of integration with a budgeting software program
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us stay organized. As an agency, we have many clients and if we do not have a system it can be very easy for things to fall through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Decide how you want to organize the product. There are many different ways to use projects tasks, etc. Make sure you leverage templates as well.

Asana gives visibility to the pending tasks in a snap.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't organize your tasks properly, sometimes it is easy to loose or don't see pending tasks.
The hability for subtasks, although very powerful, can be confusing if the subtaks go too deep.
The editors are not "wisig".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Although we are using the free version, Asana has helped us a lot on:
1) Communication between teams.
2) Transparency on delegation and responsibility.
3) Due dates assignment (or reassignment).

3) Due dates assignment (or reassignment).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
1) Decide beforehand the overall structure of project, subprojects, tasks and teams.
2) Don't go too deep using subtasking. Two levels is good, three levels max. No more!
3) The learning curve is short, but if you are migrating from another tool (as was our case, migrating from trello), Asana can be difficult to switch. In our case, people who use trello is much more visual, using "cards" and Asana is more of a list view.
