What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Asana to manage our projects and todo lists. This helps us stay accountable to each other as the todo lists are reviewed in our weekly management meetings. We also use it to track projects, delegate tasks, add dependencies, and more. It's a great overall system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're trying to run your business as lean as possible, Asana is an excellent project management tool. I've tried Trello, Workflowy, and a vast assortment of other tools, but nothing has worked for me quite like Asana has. I would recommend it as a staple solution in your software toolbox.
use the free version as a high-level project management tool - great so far
What do you like best about the product?
I like the task view. I use it as a project view and write my task notes in the description box. It's essentially a high-level checklist of all my projects. Then I can click in to each one to see the details I've written in each.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option for the project view to look like the task view. I essentially use the task view as my project view because I don't need to get very granular and set a list of tasks. I just want an at-a-glance view of my project pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to track my individual projects. I don't use it to collaborate on a team.
Optimizing your time, opimizing you life
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing for me was that you can use the boards if you want. or change to a list. The software is very easy and friendly. You can assign any task and put it in the calendar. Its pretty cool, because you can download the app and update your board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can´t think in just one thing that dislike me, but the team of Asana can upgrade the subtasks part. I mean, the thing is that you can`t assign subtasks to nobody, so you have to turn them in tasks, and that is not cool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits of this software are the boards, the capacity of assign tasks and that is free.
With the free version, you can handle your agenda and your projects. But, the best tools the paid version have it, like the timeline that is perfect for manage projects with a big crew.

If you want to implement the radical transparency and see the rightful teamwork in your company/project, Asana is the best.
Form your team and organize them
What do you like best about the product?
The calendar is completely interactive, you can almost do everything from there, which is very good for those who have time-sensitive projects, as it creates a very good timeline for you and you can assign and create tasks on the spot within the calendar. Then each task leads to its wall and more, which is fabulous because you can start your session in the calendar and keep everything in mind quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like at all that outside the calendar there are so many options in so many menus, because it forces you to navigate through several menus to find the option you were looking for, in the end you always end up going to the menu because it is the better-made interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an organization, we must organize ourselves and Asana is the perfect program for that, which is why we have chosen it. We used Trello in the past, but it leaves much to be desired, especially regarding the calendar, timeline, and everything related to time, which is vital for us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not difficult to use, but I recommend using only the calendar, you have everything there after all.
Not friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to organize myself and my coworkers in a sigle app with a lot of options. It's a web focused on improving team's productivity and it is obvious from the first minute. I like the care and effort they put to do a complete web application.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like th desing and for me I was difficult to get in. Sometimes I though I had too much options to learn about, I've needed a youtube tutorial to understand how all works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management and task management mainly. Also coworkership, obviously. We benefit from collaboraion and scheduling, so we improved our productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to at least try asana. I f you get how it works quickly, it becomes a powerful we application and it's useful to imrpove your productivity. I do not recommend to spend money on asana having other options, I tried it and I think we are going to stop using the paid version.
Asana: Good Project Management and Team Work App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for small teams. I recently collaborated with another person on a long-term project and used Asana to track action items and progress. You can also have conversations, share files, and track your progress on multiple projects. Action items drag and drop easily so you can rearrange them if something in your project changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface was a little confusing at first. You have to click through different levels of screens to get to where you want to go, and sometimes it can feel like you're in a maze. The general arrangement of information just took me a few days to get used to for some reason. I do wish there was a way to make the whole thing simpler or have less screen hopping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm keeping track of my to-do list, and I'm able to mark off and archive items that I've completed (which I really like). I think it's helped me to see how much progress I'm making. I can also look back at conversations and old documents, which comes in handy when planning for future projects. The ability to tag team members directly and have conversations cuts down on emails, too!
Asana needs some UX help
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana uses an outline design format, allowing you to detail projects in a bullet point-like fashion. It makes it easy to see a project at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface feels clunky at times to navigate. For example, it would be so much more user friendly if users could resize panels according to their preferred size. But Asana is not truly responsive because it has a minimum width it must be open to in order to see all the content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The company uses Asana to outline podcast projects, parts of which are assigned to different people on the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana does its job well, but for low-level users of the program like me, it doesn't have great adaptability to my preferences that would make me want to use the product more. Rather, I use it because I have to, and put up with its limitations because it's the company's software of choice.
Asana for start ups
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana allows me to integrate it into other programs I use for project management, such as monday.com. I also find the app version to be very user friendly compared to other programs I've used. I also like that the website and the app are comparable to each other, they aren't so different that I become confused. Asana came highly recommended to me from HR friends I have however our team was hesitant to use it at first.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a first time use tutorial. I found it hard to navigate at first and found myself getting frustrated. A simple tutorial would be a great touch to get familiar with it. It would be nice if I could create a contact card that allowed me to put my contact into other than just my email address.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, assigning tasks to team members, being held accountable for the tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We hesitated to use Asana at first, I'm not sure why, however after using other programs we realized Asana was actually the better option for our teams needs. I suggest to first try Asana then explore other options because it is likely that you will just stick to it and not feel the need to find something else.
Product over average
What do you like best about the product?
The easiest way to manage team tasks and projects. Asana offers everything you need to be synchronized, meet deadlines and achieve your goals. Easy to use and easy to set up. All the time was happy with the app. Very visual.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some similar areas which confuses and causes that in the end they are divided into two groups. The price would be another flaw, there are few members per team and then each member costs individually, there are no good offers for large groups unless you contact with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I visualized my work and the work of my collegues. I made my work and the other's work advance through the various stages of the project with speed, ease and excellence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Asana to campanies where people have to work togheter and syncronization is very important. It is easy to use and set up, and visually looks fine, what improves your experience. You won't regret it.
Good Program for Business Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a website where you can easily manage a company's tasks. You can easily create work groups and add employees. Within those groups, you can create tasks for each person or groups of people, and those tasks, in turn, can be returned once completed or modified with tags to make it easier to locate the tasks. It is a very useful tool for documenting, for example, work done in a warehouse or a company with many departments that need to be in contact.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like the least is that we depend on the internet; if it goes down, we can't access anything. There should be something local, so that if the connection is lost, at least you can see what you had until then. The searches are also not entirely well done; there are more fields they should include for searching, as there are things you can't easily search for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company where I work, there is a before and after since we have Asana... it hasn't been perfect. Before, there was a lot of disorder in the company, now with this website, we can pass tasks to each other, write modifications on them, and pass them among colleagues and likewise, pass them to other departments of the company. It's also good for my bosses, as they can have greater control over tasks and time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is highly recommended
