What do you dislike most about the product or service?

There are not a whole lot of things to dislike about Asana. But if I had to name a few they would be: - The learning curve when you are just starting out is a little steep. - Some of the important features are locked by the premium price level. - If you are using their form feature, you cannot designate where that form will end up after it is completed by a customer, employee, etc.

We needed a way to project manage the process of building a mobile application. We needed a solution that would allow us to communicate with outside clients and keep all the info organized. If you are a small business that is growing at a fast rate, Asana is an awesome tool to keep your team organized and on time to hit all of your deadlines.

If you could start over, what would your organization do differently?

If I could start over, I would start using Asana sooner! I also think that Asana could have been used in other areas of our business. The more and more that I use/explore Asana, I realize that there are several other products and services that we use that could have been replaced by Asana.

What one piece of advice would you give other prospective customers?

Asana has so many different tools to use. Each of those tools can be used in different ways to fit your needs. With Asana's Teams tool, you could have one team (area/project) that is for your internal use only. You can also have a separate Team(s) for your customers and clients.
