Task management made easy
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana makes it easy to customize your to-do list, so you can really make the platform work for you. There are so many great features, no aspect of project management was left untouched. I love the sections feature for organizing what tasks I will do when. I also love the inbox feature, as it allows me to check up on new updtes to my tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is quite overwhelming at first and takes a little while to get the hang of. There are a lot of features, which is great when you know how to use them but can overload users at the beginning of use. It would also be beneficial if there was a way to customize the color scheme of Asana, as the colors might seem overwheling to some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes it easy for teams to collaborate on different facets of the same project. It makes assigning tasks extremely easy, so no one is left wondering what they have to do and when. The due date feature makes it extremely easy to get things done on time, and tags help organize even further. Asana is espcially useful for teams with many remote employees, as the ability to assign tasks helps supervisors communicate what tasks need to be done to employees, in office or not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana makes project management easy! Use this if your team includes several telecommuting employees to make sure everyone stays on track.
Not what i expect
What do you like best about the product?
looks beatiful is super friendly i love the fact. That i can use colors and use the checklist way to check my tasks and also that a task stays even if i finished at the end of the day i feel super good to see what i achive that day
What do you dislike about the product?
At the first sight asana looks perfect for my team, but no! There is no way to place notifications directed to my phone, goes to email at the beginning of my day i have tons of asana spam, is super antique the work spaces division, i feel confuse the most of the times when im working in 2 diferent big projects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a team is super good because we can really know what is going on. A real overview of the. Work flow
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For a startup or small teams is great!
Asana let's me communicate tasks with my VA
What do you like best about the product?
I love how i can create repeated tasks -- tasks that remain the same each month. I don't have to go in and recreate the task -- I just schedule it as recurring for any duration of days that I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every time I sign in, I forget that I'm in MY dashboard, and not my VA's. Several times now I've created a task and put it on my own dashboard by mistake, and then not realized it until it's past the deadline and I'm wondering where the work is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating tasks with a deadline to my VA. I love how I am automatically updated when a task is updated, through email.
Love this tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is so easy to use. You can easily sort, prioritize and check off tasks. I love that it has different ways to input the information. Like lists and checking off your to-dos? More of a sticky notes person? Or do you prefer to see everything at a glance on your calendar? Asana has you covered!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, really. Very intuitive to use and very effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great for organizing your day and communicate with a team.
Pretty good product, but honestly I find myself reverting to pen and paper for tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I think being able to assign people tasks is helpful. We also get very detailed with the tags we put on for different projects. For example we use it to categorize by which action items get brought up at which meetings. We also use it to be able to communicate about check up calls so everyone is on the same page. I also like the feature of being able to comment on other people's projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have your whole team on the software it doesn't really work since you have to follow up on different channels. We use it mostly for customer support, but I also have marketing responsibilities, so it doesn't work as well for those. Again if you have your entire team on it you're better off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to plan out long term projects and tasks within our smaller group.We have about 12 people in our team and it definitely makes our processes easier, but we just have to stay on top of keeping it updated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely make sure your whole team is using it and not just part of your team. It makes a lot of a difference, because if someone is out of the loop it sort of throws the whole thing off. When you get set up make sure every team has their own project and that there isn't too much of an overlap, where things could get confusing.
Intuitive and easy as long as on desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers you an easy to use project management tool that nearly everybody can get behind and grasp after a couple of minutes use. Other than most "free" tools it does not only offer a very broad managing of tasks but also allows you to go into details with subtasks, links and attachments. As well as deadlines and assignements are possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It works great as long as you are on a desktop. If you are in sales and have to use it on your phone, while being out with clients - it's horrific. It's just too detailed and you cannot find most things over your phone. You have to use the search function basically ALL.THE.TIME. Thankfully that works quite well for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're connecting two of our locations together with Asana. People can work together closely without being in the same office.
Seamless, intuitive project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an incredibly intuitive and really easy to use project management platform/software that integrates easily into things like Gmail and even Slack. You can easily sort/organize tasks, and you get your weekly to-do list. It's not cluttered, and it has a lot of features that are helping in managing projects, such as marking some tasks as dependent on others, setting up recurring deadlines, and getting a high-level overview of projects that your team is working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some improvements that could be made in terms of organization and better sorting your own tasks. In addition, sometimes it can be overwhelming (and counterproductive) to see ALL your tasks laid out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helpful to track progress on team-oriented projects and being able to make comments directly on tasks/projects so that all discussion is accounted for. It also helps in thinking out all the steps/necessary components of planning a larger campaign, and planning backwards as well for timing to make sure that everything is completed on time. There is a lot less back and forth between team members because everything is laid out in Asana.
Great platform planning and staying organized
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy working with this product because the platform is easy to work with and easy to teach your team how to use. Most platforms similar to Asana get unorganized quickly when multiple team members start uploading tasks and projects, but Asana gives you multiple options to keep things organized and keep your team working in sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
The emailing of each individual task can be overwhelming, especially when starting a new project. I really wish there was a way to put multiple tasks into the system and have the option to email them to the responsible person with one or multiple tasks listed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using the platform to put together and organize advertising campaigns and strategies for clients. It's been great to work with in this way because it allows team members to see what others are doing or planning to do and have them plug in their thoughts on the fly. Without this option, we'd be wasting time on multiple conference calls per day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely would recommend this product to anyone working in a team environment. If you're considering Asana, you should take advantage of the free trial to really see how this platform works.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is my go-to application for Project Management. I have many clients and I am able to functionally organize them and schedule our tasks. I am able to bring each organization into my Asana separately so that my clients can use the application as well.
Asana is easy enough to use. Many of my clients are not tech savvy yet, feel comfortable using the app. There is also a great integration with Gmail as well as a Chrome extension.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. The integration with Gmail takes some getting used to. It can be clunky and if you forget a step, it will not save to the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and Task organization. Nothing slips through the cracks as long as each item is scheduled and assigned correctly.
Communications with clients remain in each task so things don't get lost in email strings.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the tutorials, especially when migrating from another project management tool.
Makes life easier
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is much more comprehensive and easier to navigate than the other solutions my company has tried. The calendar view makes it very simple to keep track of my tasks and when I need to be working on them. And the addition of private tasks that my coworkers can't see means I can also keep track of professional development and other obligations so they all appear on the same calendar.
What do you dislike about the product?
It logs you out a little more frequently than I'd like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows our Marketing, CX, and Development teams to collaborate on projects and for everyone to be able to see what work is being done. We've reduced overlapping work and improved productivity with Asana.
