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.
Great for team and project management
What do you like best about the product?
We use Asana to keep track of our team's work, projects, and deliverables. We also are able to link other people in different departments and organizations to our Asana account so they can function like internal members of the team and make and view updates to the project boards. It is easy to navigate, create new projects, upload documents, see what team members are working on or have completed, and get high level and detailed views of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free service does not allow you to create deadline-dependent tasks or create gantt charts. It is difficult to remove access to tasks and projects by project managers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to work with people across departments in our large organization as well as with people outside our organization. It allows for seamless communication and visualization of work.
Asana for team and company project management
What do you like best about the product?
Compared to what Asana was when I first used it about 4 years ago, it has come leaps and bounds. I am currently using it for team project management and have recently extended its use on a corporate level. I like the ability to assign tasks between teams and break down projects into a simple-to-organize workflow. Comments can be made directly within each project/task and custom details added.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I am particularly unhappy with as of yet. I could see it being less ideal for communication with external clients compared to an option like Basecamp, but considering we aren't looking to achieve that solution it isn't an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team and corporate project management -- each person can create tasks and assign to team members across the company allowing for multi-team collaboration. Relatively easy to set up and maintain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a tool for team collaboration and easy to manage task workflow, Asana is a great solution!
Productive and effective project management
What do you like best about the product?
It is a manager, very complete so it takes full advantage when it is used by several agencies, is ideal for that, communication is integral between the financial, accounting areas and those responsible for the execution and operation of the projects, stable structures of complete work, allows you to generate process flows, assignment of tasks and continuous monitoring of projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is an easy-to-use software we can not find a way to prioritize access permissions to the information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an interface that offers productivity to the maximum is excellent for large work groups and that require defining their process flow to define and establish specific assignments, allows you to reduce the margin of error in the execution of projects
Simplified task management with some room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is streamlined and modern project management with multiple options for creating projects and sharing with your team. It's an easy system to learn, but there are small things that sometimes give me friction on our team's free version (these might be resolved if we purchased the product).
What do you dislike about the product?
I often get duplicated tasks from multiple groups managing similar projects. The organization with My Tasks list gets confusing and I have to manually group tasks by team or project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating projects across departments and having clear definitions of who's responsible for tasks and what the deadline is.
Asana helps us to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows our team to stay in the know on what projects and tasks are happening, who is responsible for what, and when a person completes or is overdue on a task. I love the general team calendar function that allows us to see tasks for the month across all projects, and the ability to color code projects. Also as a project manager, the ability to see what everyone is working on for the day, week, month, etc. is so valuable and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that when you reach 200 projects, the team calendar disappears. It's strange. Not an issue if you delete instead of archiving projects when they're finished, but it's kind of a pain. Also the mobile App is really terrible and not user friendly, it's functionality is subpar compared to the browser version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People from our team are often traveling, so it allows us to stay connected and aware of what is going on across all projects. It's wonderful to assign others tasks with descriptions and subtasks, and even to create notifications for when we expect to receive things from clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up, you won't regret it!
Effective and easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks. Very user friendly. Team collaboration and file sharing is one of the best features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a free version. I feel that most of my negative feedback would be solved by paid plan. Perhaps too many email notifications is a major dislike. I wish the notification settings had a more robust filtering option. Also, it would be great if the card view projects could be automatically organized by date, like Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve project management, task delegation and collaboration. We find it beneficial to have the project data available at one spot and the ability to attached files to tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small teams. Asana offers a free version which perfect to get you going. Our team has been using free Asana for a number of years now.
Organize and direct projects in a very easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very complete platform to follow tasks and projects as a team, its interface has a great design and it is also very interactive, it allows me to add tasks, discussions and upload all kinds of files. It also has a native mobile application for Android and IOS very useful to take it anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost impossible to prioritize the tasks, in addition the complements or integrations of third parties are somewhat expensive for a small team, I could say that the free version is very limited, so it is not recommended for large projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep up with the other departments of my work since each team member can upload their updates, it is also very useful to keep the team organized and finish tasks on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool for large teams of people.
Great project management tool for collaborative teams
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly like how flexible the tool is to be adapted to each team's workflows. The ability to add custom fields makes it very flexible. The ability to add the same task to different projects make sit possible for teams to organize their projects the way they want without having to duplicate tasks, thus making it possible to have a full understanding of the work planned and being done across all teams. The integration with the Google docs suite of products is also a great advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Flexibility comes at a cost, since users might start using different flavours for the workflows. It's important to make sure the workflows are well defined, communicated and then enforced, to make sure things don't get chaotic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a large number of projects with multi-functional teams who have members scattered across the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you try to bite more that you can chew you might not get the value you expect.
Start simple and get your feet wet in the tool. As you evolve and you learn to use the product, look at more advanced features and start adding more functionality to your processes.

Asana - the best online project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the super easy-to-use interface. The Asana software is extremely simple to use and everything is so intuitive, which is super nice. They have tutorials that are optional when you first log into your account that you can go through to learn about all the different things that Asana has to offer. The ability to add your entire team to your project plans is a phenomenal way to get work done together even if you are not in the same place at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that more of the features on Asana were not premium features, and were available with the free version. As a small business with not too many available funds for software such as Asana, it would be nice to have these additional features to use with the free version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides an excellent way to organize each of our project plans that we are working on at NoMo Diagnostics. We use the collaborative features all the time as some of our employees are located in New York and the rest are in Chicago. The time difference sometimes makes it hard to find a time to meet together, but the collaboration features allow us to all review the project plan on our own time and make our own contributions to the data when needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a simple, yet effective way to do project management, then Asana is definitely the way to go.
