Great Resource
What do you like best about the product?
This has really helped our team collaborate and work together. We have 5 people on staff who use this at our small multi-campus church and it's been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's a little hard to find the projects I'm working on, or I'll get assigned to public projects that are duplicates of things I made personally. Suggesting "is this a duplicate" those things might be nifty, but I can see it being annoying for other users too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating and staying on the same page.
Excellent Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows me to track my progress along multiple projects at once. There are multiple views depending on how you need to see your workload. And the ability to share your projects with other people/teams is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the interface can feel a little bit clunky. And adding subtasks its a bit of a strange process, but overall I don't have many complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, mostly. It's been very helpful to be able to easily share my workload with other teams and countries, so just knowledge sharing is the biggest benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Grow with Asana, it will only help you in the long run.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not ideal for graphics-intensive work.
Can't switch between Task and Kanban project views after creation.
The free version has lost some searching/reporting capability.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for grants tracking, so I can assign out pieces to different team members and easily gather pieces back to me. I love that I can hyperlink to previous years notes, attachments, etc. for easy reference, which is really helpful with donors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I cherish their free form with a firey enthusiasm, yet once drawback is as they have developed, the free form has lost some seeking/detailing ability. However, utilizing their paid item makes you all that you could need. So in the event that you are guiding the free form to get a sense, there is significantly increasingly out there.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been so helpful to my team. We create dashboards for our projects and we can invite people from outside teams to join our project dashboards and make contributions to the tasks. I like the ease with which you can create new projects, tasks, subtasks, attach and share files, and track tasks. Dashboards are customizable and intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the free version, you can't create dependent tasks that automatically change the due dates. You also can't create gantt charts. There are a lot of great features with the paid version that I wish were available for the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is able to continuously stay up to date with all of our projects. MY boss is able to check in on all of our progress without needing to talk. We can also assign tasks throughout meetings, which solves the need to send follow up emails.
Asana fits the bill
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Asana is that it's easy to manage my home and work life in one app. With easy mobile or web apps, I'm able to note the task for whatever comes up regardless of where I am.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although you can add tags to the favorites, I wish tag management was easier. Using GTD method, tags are essential. Also wish it would integrate with Harvest. Still need to use another task management system that does to manage tasks that require time tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because Asana has a good free option, I'm able to set up new teams for each client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With a little time and effort you will be able to set up Asana in a manner that works with your company's work flow. It might take a few tries but by trial and error as well as looking up what others are doing on YouTube, you can find a solution that works.
Wonderful software - Time consuming set up
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a wonderful CRM and project management system. I currently use Asana to manage clients everyday tasks as well as one time projects. One of the features I love is that I can customize the software as I need it and I don't have to upgrade to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a huge learning curve when setting up Asana. I had to not only watch video tutorials but I had to contact support many times during the customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Asana for project management and day to day client operations. One benefit is the use of the software with no cost associated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Asana, watch videos and tutorials before trying to set it up. The videos and tutorials will save you a lot of time.
Easy to use with Slack
What do you like best about the product?
We use the integration for Slack to manage our team’s work. It keep our work and conversations straight when we are switching between Asana and Slack. Moreover, I get personal notifications for work I'm assigned and following right in Slack to quickly see what’s happening.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't very easy to learn to use. In addition it is a little bit expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage our team's work and we have more control with our tasks in every project
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go for it
Great for cross-team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
We use Asana for driving transparency across several teams, departments and even companies! It allows everyone to log in and see the same things, add comments and upload documentation, and is easily edited and managed. We love it!
What do you dislike about the product?
We still have to use other things like Jira tickets for internal requests or HubSpot for uploading recorded videos and as a general landing page for each of our clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for one place for all the documents and plans to live so that everyone on our team as well as each of our individual clients are all on track and bought into the same game plan.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great and easy to use product for even the most novice users! We like that it's easy to use, clean and quick. We still use other platforms for various reasons but Asana makes project management, transparency and collaboration so easy!
Great Product to Keep Your Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the interface and the way it allows you to assign tasks to your team members. It's extremely organized and has helped me, not only keep myself on task and organized, but has given me a way to track my teams accomplishments without making them feel micro managed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the amount of emails the system sends out. Each time you assign a task an individual email with that task is sent out to those assigned. I wish there was a way to group the tasks, so the person being assigned receives one email with all of the tasks grouped together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were running into issues with my team not knowing what had been accomplished, what needed to be accomplished and what to do next during the work day. Asana has helped organize everyone's work day and it's not only reduced the need for multiple team conference calls each day, but people are happier because they now know what's expected of them each day and it's eliminated team members mistakenly working on the same tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want your team to stay on task, be able to report to your supervisor your teams performance accurately and show the efficiency of your team, then I would definitely recommend Asana.
Asana was great for personal tracking!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to update my to-do list. It had a great way of tracking the tasks I wanted quickly and easily with good app support too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't seem to get others to use it too...low adoption from the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks vs emails -- I was trying to get away from using emails for everything but old habits die hard. The email system is still the best way to address most things unfortunately. Team adoption at the very beginning of a project is likely when this will work best and not after the fact. Project teams will benefit from sharing tasks and taking over tasks easily when required. The issues I had were getting my team to send tasks to the Asana tasks vs emails almost consistently...again, better management and some kind of point system might help people to adopt this better. An incentive perhaps in using the tool, like a give away for the team members that adopt the most features and use the tool the most might help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Team adoption will be tough but worth it if you can get them there.
