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.

Amazing for task management
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite Asana feature is when it automatically creates a task when I send it to special email. Many other apps do this, but Asana creates tasks from emails just as I expect it. I’ve tried many of task and project management tools. Asana is so successful for one simple reason – its dashboard looks like an inbox. Most people send and get their task by email and get used to inbox design and structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can lead to inbox-overload. By default, you are subscribed to updates on any task that you create or follow. Updates include someone marking a task complete, leaving a comment on a task, or adding a file to a task. This means that if your coworker adds a file, makes a comment, then assigns the task back to you, then marks the task complete, you're looking at 4 emails in 10 seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to control every task of my team. With ready integrations (namely Slack and Google Docs integrations) Asana makes communication and cooperation between my team members more effective. Asana has also improved performance time and quality of completed tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
my team managed to use free version for almost two years. We upgraded to paid version only when our team grew and we had to add more people to our workspace. Check for Asana user cases posted in their blogs. There are some really good tips there which will ease your work with Asana. Also Asana promotes agile project management and you can create a kanban board for your project if necessary.
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.
Outstanding replacement for task management.

It provides best and easiest ways for tracing projects as well as tasks. Love the notification, alerts and comment options that really keeps us up to date.

I have accomplished many protects with the help of Asana It has been a satisfying product for our entire team.

The one difficulty that I find in this software is that in order to use this software one's internet connection should be strong enough because this software is little bit heavy as compare to others. NO other any kind of problem I have ever faced. fully featured tool.

Asana Project Management Review
What do you like best about the product?
The aesthetics of Asana set it a part from other project management platforms. Content is appropriately spaced, the colors are bright and inviting, and the navigation of projects is easy. It also has many opportunities to link to other apps, such as slack, dropbox, google, etc., making its use seamless across the entire business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version of Asana is sufficient; however, the premium paid version has so many more features. I wish that there were more of these features available in the free version, such as timelines.This is less about the software and more about me wishing I could afford the premium version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has made it much easier for our team to break down the tasks necessary for our projects. It has also made collaboration much easier as information is always up to date and we never have to worry about whether we're working on an old version of something.
Organize yourself productively in all your contexts
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use, in less than an hour you can learn to use all its functionalities. It is ideal to have a list of the tasks you do during the week, both in your work and in your daily life. You can create projects in the form of boards to track and create reminders. You can create very detailed checklist templates to copy and paste whenever you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform is a bit heavy, I tried it with an average internet connection and I had to wait long enough for all the dependencies to load. The rest is an excellent software, I do not regret having it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has the option to be synchronized with Google Calendar and increase its potential use, as well as the synchronization with Gmail to activate it appears a button to send the email to the tasks, so you can turn it into a project, just great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version is very complete and I think it is more than enough for any type of average user. The premium version includes schedules, custom fields and much more. It's really worth paying for a premium version since its price is very low.
Great Way to Keep Track of Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to see my tasks laid out for the week in calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the app had task reminders that pop up the way that google calendar does. There are ways to get around it using other apps but it would be nice if I didn't have to open another account with a different program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem that I am solving with Asana is staying on task. I have realized that it is a great way for me to stay on task with the many projects that I have throughout the year. It is also a great tool for your team (co-workers) to see what you have on your plate as well so they know when they can make requests of you and when to expect solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want it to connect to your calendar or send notifications, be prepared to start an account with another software company.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana allows you to integrate third-party add-ons, but many of these are usually very expensive, their interface is updated however the first time you use it it will cost a bit of work to understand its functionality.

It helps me a lot to maintain communication with my team, with asana I can achieve my goals quickly and in this way I can meet the deadlines of projects and tasks at work.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't organize your tasks properly, sometimes it is easy to loose or don't see pending tasks.
The hability for subtasks, although very powerful, can be confusing if the subtaks go too deep.
The editors are not "wisig".

3) Due dates assignment (or reassignment).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
1) Decide beforehand the overall structure of project, subprojects, tasks and teams.
2) Don't go too deep using subtasking. Two levels is good, three levels max. No more!
3) The learning curve is short, but if you are migrating from another tool (as was our case, migrating from trello), Asana can be difficult to switch. In our case, people who use trello is much more visual, using "cards" and Asana is more of a list view.

The new platform to organize your projects and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent tool that will allow you to organize your work, allows you to have work teams, with which you can share documents, can have conversations, have a list of tasks and see the process of them in a very simple way, its interface is very attractive and very easy to understand.

It has a free version that is very limited, and another thing that I do not like is that it can not prioritize tasks and, since it is an online software, sometimes the Internet connection can affect the speed with which it works.

I can organize my team very easily, avoiding meetings, we can be more productive when we do the tasks or activities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent software for collaboration in the team, it is ideal for people who are far away and do not have time to be in an office.
