Nice Free Option for Small Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the "Board" view offered because it allows you to organize your tasks in so many ways. You can uses the columns to represent that status of a task, the person it is assigned to, the sub project, the possibilities are endless. The ability to add items within tasks, and to assign individual items to different team members is great. For a free tool, what is included out of the box is quite feature full.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to filter tasks on the board based on whether they are completed or not. Having them greyed out does convey that they are not active but eventually they clutter up the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better visibility into progress towards completing projects and into individual team members roles in each project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great option compared to some of the project management tools on the market that come with a high cost, and a lot of features that might not be used in a small org.
Application that is based on web with a good , user friendly interface streamlining task management

It is super easy to use and make your work easier.
One of the best project management software.
What do you like best about the product?
It's very useful organizational tool and helps us to visualize our workflow and progress on the work we're doing. Asana gives me and my teammates ability to track different ongoing projects,tasks,timelines and etc. It was not too difficult to get used to the program, because of its simple interface and functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I least like about Asana is that you cannot learn all of its functionality just in a single day. As I said, it's not too difficult to get used to the programm, but it takes a time to learn how to use all the settings and customizations correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helped me to be well informied about any project at any time. I have feeling, that I'm really the part of the project, as I can see every detail of project, I can see the timelines, the tasks, the asignees and etc. It saves a lot of time and organizes every project very well.
Great for Teams with multiple projects and deadlines
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great to streamline communication for teams with multiple projects, deadlines, and dependencies that need constant tracking and feedback
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to limitations on Asana's end, it's impossible to have more than one point of contact on any given task -- you would have to duplicate the task and set the second task to the other person, but this may clutter your calendar or board, which can get confusing rather quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project organization is the greatest problem we're solving with this software -- knowing who is in charge of what, and when, is super important. The ability to give feedback under each individual task helps progress of the overall project.
UI is fun and approachable
What do you like best about the product?
I love the playful aspects of the UI. I know it's not that important to productivity necessarily in itself, but I think that those features make work feel a little bit lighter and more approachable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better chat function outside of the tasks. I guess that's why people use Slack but maybe there would be a way to add some other communication features that aren't tied to specific projects or tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office has fewer internal emails now and it's much easier to track changes that occur over the course of a project. Now our communication doesn't get lost among dozens of email chains!
Best team task and project management software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about this software is that it is totally cloud based and even can be accessed using mobile phones. Event the dashboard is fantastic which comes with all the needy features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike is the UI, which can be improved more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Asana, we decide our task and team project and try to complete them in time in order to acheive success.

Solid Tool to get you Organized

Asana is a tool that is providing satisfying services for task and project management. Asana keeps professional team behind their application that keeps on developing its program according to the user's need. Simple, easy to use App Easy to Share with Co-Workers, Team-Members, etc Like that you can add media, etc to ask for more detail and direction.

Asana does not keep negative things I really prefer this service for Project management. Asana is also going great when it updates its program; It's every new version brings helpful functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me and my team to organize and track projects progress in real time.I think it's a project and task management solution based on the preferred cloud, on my team and in my personal life. It is also known as a great tool for collaboration and communication. We can manage multiple projects efficiently at the same time. The most interesting thing is the notification feature that keeps up to date with the ongoing projects.

Overall, I have found it fun to use and would recommend to others. It has great features and it's ideally suited for business teams and organization. I'm looking forward to using more and exploring more of what I can do with Asana.
Asana is a project in need of renovation
What do you like best about the product?
From Asana I can say that he is one of the most famous project organizers, with some shortcomings that must be eliminated but in general he behaves well. It stands out for its simplicity when registering and a very clean web-based interface that allows you to work in the cloud without downloading any application. We already know that working in a web browser has its complications as a waste of additional resources but it also gives us mobility and we can work from any space. We hope Asana keeps innovating and launches a downloadable version.
One of Asana's advantages is the fluidity with which it performs data processing and it is very convenient to enter data from the beginning. Asana is intuitive and easy to use and the templates allow you to have different types of projects to organize them according to the work we are going to do, the program itself is a jewel for the visual characteristics although it has some faults that I will detail below. It is perfect to edit fast projects that need many steps such as engineering or computing where you can go writing short notes to remember throughout the project. But it is discarded in projects where it is necessary to introduce great volumes of data because until now the integration in Asana is not optimized.

What do you dislike about the product?
As far as the Asana synchronization is left behind, the Google Drive files cannot be attached but only uploaded and that unnecessarily multiplies the files. The synchronization with Google Calendar is not true, it only allows a subscription that is updated from time to time. Another regrettable thing is that in the forums closest to the Asana team have been asked for improvements to the application but are not attended, it seems that the development of Asana in general is stopped and was just one more project to leave in oblivion.
The way Asana is conceived is great but important improvements are needed such as errors in the order of tasks by dates, sometimes you must check the entire list of tasks when you want to keep up to date, this is also due to a general view quite messy from the dashboard. As a solution to this I propose the creation of folders where individual tasks and projects can be stored but we are at the mercy of Asana's team.
With regard to the web version of Asana we have no complaints but working from a browser is not possible for any team because web browsers consume many unnecessary resources and make lose the concentration of some employees, apart from the fact that if you close the browser sometimes do not save the changes. The latter also happens within Asana, some tasks are simply not saved and have to be done again, this is really uncomfortable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I recommend Asana with certain reservations, should be used only for projects that will be completed in the short term and be aware that the Asana platform in general needs many improvements and updates that are not detected by their technical team for now but in general if it serves as a workflow organizer, for this reason I recommend trying the free version for a while and see how it adapts to the needs of your team.
Teamwork’s best friend!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is INCREDIBLE for group project management. It allowance all parties involved to stay up to date with the project at hand and how various tasks are progressing. Streamlines communication, makes sure nothing falls through the cracks
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana had a desktop app. Then I would always need it open in a tab

Great task management and collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to implement and to onboard new users. The interface is attractive and very intuitive. New features are appearing every few months the recently added Portfolio/Workload feature is brilliant. Now I get the Gantts I need to monitor my team's workload and our many projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being able to estimate hours per task would make Workload even more useful. Keyword search (for completed tasks/projects etc.) can be a little flakey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Asana I was working with former dev and it was always very hard to know what was done and what was not: we paid for working hours but we never had a clear follow up of their tasks... With Asana it's a big relief: I know what I'm paying my dev for. Every task is documented and clear. You can add or delete a task, add comments, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a breeze to use and it enables our busy publishing team of 10 to collaborate and stay on top of our day-to-day. It also gives me the paper trail I need for quarterly and annual reporting. Highly recommended.
