It helps me stay on task, but I tend to forget to check it. I'd recommend better reminders.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface and how easy it is to assign and complete your own task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not exactly sure where to find content that will help me figure out how Projects might work. I recently had a project assigned to me by someone who left the organization. Since they created the project, there is no way for me to leave it or any content for me to read on how to leave it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management task and making sure everyone involved in the project know what they need to complete so that we can accomplish our goals together. We all have individual goals that complete a bigger picture and asana has helped make that easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The only recommendation I can think of is maybe some more knowledge based articles or even make it just easier to find so that I can help myself rather than reach out to customer support.

Solid and easy to use Project Management tool with no cost
What do you like best about the product?
Have used the free version with several organizations and everyone is always very happy with how easy the tool is to learn and use. It does a good job of tracking tasks, allowing for sharing of files and sending emails when appropriate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have seen some limitations with the free version which I believe do not exist in the paid version. At one point tried to sync it with TFS and I believe hit a speed bump there as well but may also be tied to using the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our IT department uses TFS but several departments that work closely with IT had a need for a Project Management tool that was easy to learn and low cost but still offered what was needed for them to better manage the projects and become more efficient. Asana allowed all of that to happen
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product and can meet many needs for little or no cost
One of the best project management tools out there
What do you like best about the product?
Using Asana for many years and on multiple projects in various organizations (and personal), I can really recommend Asana as project management tool. It's not your all- in-one tool, but the simplicity makes the technology disappear so that you can focus on the work. If you need some more functionality, the integrations with other services work great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the limited feature-set is concerning, because you have to pay another company again for more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All project management and remote working team management.
Quick review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is available on Windows and Android unlike all the other apps which are great e.g Sketch only being available on Mac
Task management is great.
Navigation is superb and easy to understand
The boards provide a perfect graphical view of the stages where various tasks are at.
The weekly reminder of what tasks have been completed and how many are pending help in tracking progress.
The due date feature on tasks make time management easy so as the team can work within allowed timelines.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too many options/Features, if you are new you can be overwhelmed and get confused on what which feature does.
Limited dashboards on the free plan
I hope this app would have been free or a once buy off instead of monthly payments.

Team collaboration
Task assignment
Task tracking
Record of all tasks ever done hence providing a record of what the team has done.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go right ahead it is all worth it. For smaller teams you actually do not need to buy a subscription since the free plan gives you unlimited projects and accepts teams of upto 15 people, this is more than a normal startup employee base like here in Kenya.
And just like any other software out there, when you are trying it out keep an open mind because there may be one or two things that you may not like, but trust me, Asana is by far the best task management app i have come across personally. There may be better ones out there but for now, Asana is a win!!

User review of Asana
What do you like best about the product?
1. The theme of Asana is breathtaking, the combination of th ecolors is amazing, makes it beautiful and want to use.
2. The navigation of Asana is good, makes it easy to find what you are looking for.
3. The introduction of boards on Asana was a huge step to making Asana the best task managing app, with the dragging of task around boards makes it easy to move the tasks around.
4. Assigning of users to tasks and tagging of tasks with priority levels and due dates for each task makes it easy to collaborate with your team regardless if they are on the same room or halfway across the world.

What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't it when i could not move my earlier projects from list form to boards when boards were introduced. It will have been nice if i could do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management, i work with a team which is in India and i with another team here in Kenya, so collaboration of work and division of tasks was becoming a problem but with Asana, this is no longer an issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead and try it out, you won't regret it at all. If you have used Trello then consider this like a Trello 2.0 because it has all those features plus more and then improved and made more appealing and relatable.
Versatile and High Level Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate and manage on my desktop and iPhone- I love the list feature as well as the board feature!
What do you dislike about the product?
If someone assigns tasks to you and links your account to their account, it is hard to keep things separate and risk them seeing tasks not related to those accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and Task Management as well as process and workflow management- creating steps and templates for repeated tasks and documenting the actual workflow involved- tracking it when working with team members or by myself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make the switch! With the board and list features, you can appease all learning styles- linear or visual. Great features for tracking tasks, monitoring progress, and creating processes for business tasks!
I like to call it a "Glorified To Do List" -- in a good way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's simple list orientation makes it easy to follow and manage projects for your team. Assigning tasks and due dates is super easy and the notification options are plentiful. I really like having the ability to add sub tasks to tasks, which means that we can declutter the main view a bit by breaking tasks down into smaller pieces within larger tasks. I actually used to use Asana as my CRM (until I found one that worked out better for me). Oh, and one of the best features of Asana is the price. It's hard to beat free!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could manage team-only and client-facing tasks in the same project (instead of creating a task in a private project and then assigning it from there to a client project). Also, I've noticed that they are focusing a lot more on new functionality for paid members only.
One feature in particular that I would love to see become native is time tracking for individual tasks. Currently it integrates with outside tools like Harvest, which is great if you don't mind the need for an additional tool just to keep track of hours.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project Management, my personal to do list, and bug tracker for clients. At one time I was also using Asana to manage my Sales workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot! Fortunately free accounts are not completely unusable like on some websites that have a free option.
Keeping Up With Your Stuff for Dumbies
What do you like best about the product?
How simple and straight-forward Asana is. You have a task. You can have subtasks. You can have categories for your tasks. You can have different tasks for different teams. You get emailed when a task is about to be due or is overdue. It's like there's no way you could mess this up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really anything. Could Asana do my tasks for me? Could their app take up less space on my phone? It's overall a great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The "forgetting a very small task" problem is now almost non-existent. Sometimes my boss will have a task as simple and small as 'hey go get this book for me from downstairs' and if I don't do it right that second, I might forget. But it takes her two seconds to add that as a task for me to complete that day, so when I check Asana before I leave it reminds me! Easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it!!
Best Task Manager Availible
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for both individuals and teams. You can track the progress of any project you are working on using the easiest UI I've ever touched. I suggest Asana to everyone I know.
What do you dislike about the product?
I actually can't really think of anything that Asana does wrong, and I'm only typing here to meet the word minimum. I've used both the paid and free version and both are fantastic. No tricks or micro transactions. I love them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a big project person. I like to see all levels of a process, and I need to know which steps are getting ignore. Asana is great for this whether I'm working alone or with a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You might as well just try it. Asana has a mobile app as well that is a fantastic companion. I will point out that I use Mindly as well as a starting point, but I no longer return to Trello as Asana's boards are much better.
Useful for Marketing Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows for cross departmental collaboration through projects. I like that I can assign duties to those beyond my team and still hold them accountable on a project (like blog contributions, PR, and promotional timelines). The interface is clean, easy to use, and customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Asana were able to show a single person's scale as it pertains to projects. For example, at what point am I getting more tasks than I can complete? How can I justify to leadership that I need to grow my team or reprioritize duties? To try and track this I've created a standalone project in Asana that I put all of my weekly tasks into. As they're completed I can see the 'progress' of projects listed vs. completed. So far I'm getting by, but I'd like to take it a step further and track those projects by type without creating new project lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning to manage the marketing department with Asana. I'm experimenting with tracking which types of tasks occur most in a role and when it's reached maximum capacity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Other task management tools on the market are free. If you're looking to implement Asana, experiment with those tools, find what you like about them or what's missing. Use that experience to shape your implementation with Asana.
