Asana: A practical tool for group collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Asana pretty much since it's inception (I remember reading an article on how Facebook employees had developed it for internal use) and I immediately recognized how useful it could be for group collaboration. There are different projects and assignments and each individual on a team can be assigned various things in a clear way. I also like that there can be follow-up and comments, which make it much better than a simple to-do application.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be a little confusing for me at times. This might be because it has changed over the years and is different from when I first used it, but it can be a little confusing to follow any changes that have been made or comments applied to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a small team yet each of us has a lot of responsibilities. Being able to clearly designate and delegate our assignments has been extremely helpful. It makes sure that nothing falls through the cracks.
Convenient & Cute
What do you like best about the product?
The layout of Asana makes it easy to find things and visualize your to-do list!
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the many options can be a little convoluted for a small business/team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has given my team a place to put all of their ideas that is more organized than a bunch of Google Docs or emails! It also helps collaborate on social calendars in a quick way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The reoccurring feature is great for the calendar so that you don’t have to set up reoccurring events every new year or month.
Using Asana for more than just project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has many features. We use the tagging, the custom fields, templates, and more. We have integrated it into our weekly meetings and use it how we build an agenda, as well as managing grants and materials we collect from partners. I also like that there is an app and I get notifications of updates and it's easy for me to update tasks even when I'm not in the live meeting. I appreciate how easy it is to integrate Google Drive, and also have Clockify connected so that I can keep track of my time for each task.
What do you dislike about the product?
People who are new to it feel intimidated. When we try to incorporate partners outside. We also don't quite think that the timeline feature is completely helpful since it's not printer friendly. It is helpful on the screen but some of our team members would like it printed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have more productive meetings and and set up is easy now. We solve the problem of tracking MOUs and other documents. We also solved the problem of not knowing where materials are anymore, because they are always linked and housed in Asana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about the goal of using it.
Great, Flexible Project Manager
What do you like best about the product?
It easily organizes everything we’re doing as a business. Like any project management software, it takes regular checking in on everyone’s part to use it effectively. The phone version gives notifications which is perfect to get the attention of all your staff and stay on top of things. It gives good updates to a boss on who’s completed what tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems like it could be simpler, but the complexity gives good customization and might cover some people’s needs better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping track of projects that need collaborated on. Not everyone works in the office since we work with subcontractors. Gets every project to completion.
Sleek and Simple
What do you like best about the product?
I like the various template options to fit whatever kind of project or project management format you prefer. I like the accountability built in—like being able to see all the tasks of everyone on my team and receiving email alerts when changes are made or tasks updated.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitations of the free version. I haven’t seen a way to save project boards or lists for future reference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team task organization, delegation, and accountability. Asana has made it easier to assign tasks and keep track of what everyone on my team is working on. It’s easy to access in and outside of the office and it updates in real-time which saves time.
Love using Asana for splitting expenses
What do you like best about the product?
So easy to split things, add expenses, love all the features
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs in UI for Android, just remembered some issues I reported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Been able to keep track of expenses
Works well but could use better integration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to manage tasks and open projects collaboratively. Sub task functionality makes it easy to knock out large projects on step at a time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana doesn’t integrate well with the other programs I use. It would be nice to have calendar appointments for due dates and open tasks instead of receiving emails all the time — all of the emails are super annoying. It would also be nice to have subtask timelines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better time management and assignment of tasks to team members
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
A simplified approach toward project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not had an opportunity to explore business/pro features which I'm assuming address any friction points I may have with managing priority on tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task ownership and progress in larger team projects where cross-departmental collaboration is critical. Individual management of weekly tasks and due dates.
Powerful workflow management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely flexible and has an incredible kanban view for categorizing tasks and is robust enough to allow us to customize different boards for different purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have a centralized dashboard for everything that someone is working on - as it is right now, they have to go into each individual board to see what tasks they're needing to work on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Asana to better coordinate authorizations between team members and determine what needs to be done for auths to be submitted and us to properly be paid by the insurance company. It's a very powerful program that is also easy to use. We've been able to cycle through multiple people in those positions since implementation and during that timeframe we haven't lost any revenue due to auths not received. Normally we would have seen a 10-20% reduction in insurance revenue.
Well done task manager
What do you like best about the product?
It is a good task manager for non technical teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications are not work perfect. Sometimes they are disappear.
The search engine could be more intelligent.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me to do everyday routine work and collaborate with team.
