Asana is undoubtedly an excellent tool for managing projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an excellent platform for managing business processes. In this sense, it allows us to capture each process, map it, and review its life cycle completely. We like your project cost tracking, its usability and to be aware of everything that happens, we create spaces in which we can only interactor ourselves or add more people.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do not like that its system of creation of reports and analysis is nonexistent, because it is quite necessary to lead a better group organization. His list of tasks is not very expandable, and his application of agile methodologies for project management ends up being quite clumsy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has helped us not only to organize our projects and our work team, but now our work is much more automated. Your customizable Dashboard helps make it easier to work, because the options can be more at hand if we want.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is recommended mainly for its ease of use and for its integration into third-party software (elementary to be able to export or share our projects to other platforms). It is very good to carry access controls, and to handle recurring tasks. Totally recommended.
Very easy to keep track of tasks
What do you like best about the product?
You can add your projects and tasks to each project. You can assign a task and write comments to one another for updates or clarifications. I also like the calendar and how you can assign dates to each task and it shows up on the calendar. I like the different columns, in progress, to-do and done. It can show the team the amount of tasks that are needed to complete a project and what was done to accomplish it successfully.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding a member was hard to find. Also my coworker has the same email as me so I had to add her personal email to get her an account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving multi-tasking and balancing multiple projects. We have realized that we can outline the steps each project needs and assess who can work on what. It ensures team members are accountable for their work. I have realized the benefit of team work, different team members working together and understanding their skills to ensure tasks get done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendations to considering Asana would be to organize all your projects first so you can see how many different things you are working on at once and how easy it is to lose track of it all if not properly organized.
Beautiful and practical project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely intuitive and easy to use, both for the people creating projects, calendars, and boards, and for the people you're sharing them with. You can color code everything and add an incredible amount of detail without the interface being cluttered or disorganized. You can also create different teams and share your projects with colleagues or supervisors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - absolutely love this product. There's nothing I would change about the Asana platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining workflows, creating visibility into various projects and campaigns for other departments and within the Marketing team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Love this product -- it's incredibly easy to use and set up and will seriously help improve organization of your projects and your teams.
Great way to keep your projects organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the versatile way you can organize information and ideas using the kanban-like interface! It's like Trello, but more versatile! The mobile app works incredible well and the business features have been nice to use to share pages with clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing compared to competitors was a little bit of a turn off for us. A lot of the pro features require the paid tier of service and competition like Notion.so were more affordable with the same feature set.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use asana to organize my day, my projects, my clients, and my work ideas. I keep different workspaces and boards to manage the information as best as possible. I loved the ability to set reminders and assign notes and tasks. It was a very well made interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is definitely a great service. Check out the different template options to get an idea of all the ways you can organize your projects and information. I loved the onboarding process and how they show you everything that is possible and how to use the application to your benefit. It was great at organizing even simple lists and information that you just wanted to get out of your head and not forget later.
Control and manage your business with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
It is an easy tool to use and access, it allows me to keep track of all the projects and tasks that I must perform, it also allows me to upload all kinds of files to share with my colleagues, I can configure my calendar and add reminders, another very good thing is that it has a mobile application with which I can access from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
To access all its features and functions it is necessary to obtain a paid version, since the free version is very limited, I would also like to be able to place wallpapers on my board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With asana I have been able to administer complex projects and activities in an easy way and always obtaining the best results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to stay updated on your projects, Asana is the solution, I recommend it.
Great Solution to Daily Organization and Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to sort my tasks by date so that every day I know exactly what tasks need to be done. I like that you can organize tasks by client which is super helpful when monthly reporting comes around to recall everything that was done for the client in that month. I also love that I am able to track my time with Harvest in Asana. This makes time tracking much easier!
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I don't like about Asana is the due date functionality, I feel it could be improved. Currently if a task isn't completed by a certain date, the due date needs to be updated, as does all subsequent tasks. It would be nice if there was an option to have due dates update automatically when one is changed according to task hierarchy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our agency is able to produce successful initiatives, campaigns and websites for our clients using the organizational and project management tools provided by Asana. It's extremely beneficial to be able to communicate with one another in the comments of tasks to ensure we're all on the same page to get tasks done.
Task management, well done but redundant
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a way to keep track of projects and priorities, things I'm not great at and tend to keep in my head. Everybody knows that it's helpful to make a list, and Asana lets you create a detailed list you can interact with in more meaningful ways than simply crossing off entries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of other business software has its own means of planning and tracking progress; they make Asana superfluous. In these cases, the more detail you add to Asana, the more trouble you make for yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana will help me keep on track with the numerous new responsibilities I'm about to have. As such, I haven't realized any real benefits yet. At the moment, I'm being told to use Asana to track my onboarding progress through the LMS, hence the redundancy complaint.
Awesome Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps me get all of my ideas and to-do's out of my head and into a platform that is easy to use and manage. My work capacity has skyrocketed since implementing Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some really helpful features are only available with premium. It is probably worth the cost, but not something I want to spend money on right now. Some reminder features would be helpful especially when deadlines are approaching and tasks are due soon. In some cases, getting a reminder on my phone would have been really helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication problems are being solved with Asana. It has made contacting our agents and keeping track of who is coming and going much easier. This ensures that we have an accurate agent count in our market center at all times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take 30 minutes to an hour and read FAQ's // watch videos on how to best use this product. After using this for 5 years, there are many things I still don't know and features I've left unused due to lack of knowledge.
Powerful, robust, FREE platform with few limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE how much is included in the free version. I use Asana to organize work tasks but also personal tasks for managing my home & family with my husband. I love that you can be a part of teams to share responsibilities and easily assign tasks to one another.
Within each tasks, tasks are easily set to be recurring and to include notes or subtasks. Tagging is also easy and provides another way to view tasks.
It's also really handy that you can organize projects into categories using either a list view with subheadings or a more visual 'board' view.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is really inconvenient that you cannot drag/drop tasks in order of priority in the My Tasks view (list or calendar). While I understand that tasks are ordered based on if a time is assigned, I feel like most people look at their day's to-do list and would rather be able to order it based on when they plan to do it.
Things also get messy if you want to have a recurring tasks with also recurring sub-tasks. It often creates duplicates so you can't use this structure.
Lastly, you can't assign more than one person to a task. While Asana holds the position that assigning ONE person to be responsible promotes them actually getting it done, it does create some hassle when you have to create multiple tasks if multiple people are working on something together (i.e., a meeting or group project).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps SO much being able to keep everything all in one place. There are so many different ways to organize, categorize, & view tasks to keep track of everything. It is so helpful to be able to collaborate with other team members and see the same tasks, progress, etc.
Personally, it has cut down on repetitive communication & lists with team members. We can easily say "check Asana" and check off tasks, even if the items were assigned to someone else! It also allows team members to easily check to see what someone has going on and how they can help (or hold off adding more to their list!)
Personally, recurring tasks take the "mental load" out of things I need to do every day, week, month, etc. Setting up a system automates my approach and makes more time for more important items.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to set up a framework for how you will organize tasks using teams, projects, tasks, sub-tasks, tags, etc. Write instructions so that going forward, everything is consistent and you can rely on what you see in the app based on assignees & lists, etc.
Works great for tasks but still needs some improvement done
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can share my tasks with my manager and we both work from the same application, so we have access to the same information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that once a task is completed, it's a hassle to find it if you need it again later on. We're using the free version, so maybe that's the reason why, but it would be useful if the application was more user friendly than it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating projects and tasks that I can share with my manager and we can both see the progress made.
