Due Dates and Reminders That Keep Us on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the due dates and reminders feature
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the repeat due date system as it creates a lot of duplicate tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management and remembering my tasks
Engaging Task Manager with a Slight Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for daily task management, and it's easier to get all my tasks in one place, collaborate with people on my team, and get updates from editors in real time. I really enjoy the satisfaction of completing a task and watching a unicorn avatar flash through the screen. I like the different views for looking at my tasks and the data points that show my team's progress, which are pretty useful. With the dashboard, I can see the progress of how many articles I have worked on this month, the goals I've met, and the tasks that are still in the pipeline. The initial setup was also pretty quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a slight learning curve trying to get used to all the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to get all my tasks in one place, collaborate with my team, receive real-time updates, and add subtasks for workflow stages.
Asana is Polished Team Project Management with Flexible Views
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the most polished project management tool I've used at the team level. The ability to view the same project as a list, board, timeline, or Calendar without any extra setup is genuinely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface, while clean, can become cluttered quickly on large projects with many subtasks and dependencies
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were managing a marketing and product team simultaneously with a mix of Spreadsheets and email threads. Deadlines were missed not because of lack of effort but because of visibility was poor, Asana fixed that almost immediately. The timeline view alone has prevented at least a handful of launch delays by making bottlenecks visible before they become emergencies.
Empowers Transparent Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Asana for its usable interface and the ability to multi-home tasks, which allows us to accurately display our work across departments. This feature is particularly valuable as much of our work is cross-departmental, enhancing transparency and accountability in our project management efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could multi-home projects somehow. Or like sub-projects. For instance, we have a template for staff to request we build an Asana form, and it would be nice if that project could be a sub-project of a larger project like 'Summer Residency 2026'. It took a while to set up Asana initially, but it improved after we used the Asana representative trainings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to keep track of my work, encouraging transparency and accountability. Multi-homing tasks accurately displays our cross-departmental work.
Asana Keeps Small Initiatives Organized with Minimal Effort.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been useful for keeping smaller initiatives organized without too much extra work. I've mostly used it for keeping track of who owns a task, creating simple schedules, and keeping a view on what the team is working on week-to-week. It's simple enough that changes aren’t really extra work.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, it can feel a bit limiting for projects that need very detailed dependency tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to Asana, we mostly relied on shared spreadsheet and chat thread organization, which made it difficult to easily monitor progress. With Asana, we had a place to easily view the status at a glance.
Effortless Project Management, Superb UI
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana's UI great, making it easier for organizing and managing projects. It works really well for large-scale website projects and enhances tracking, workflow setup, reporting, and communication so things don't get lost. The initial setup was really easy, which was a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there should be an easier way to visualize/capture/view subtasks. Sometimes have a hard time deciding between creating a new project or just adding subtasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana makes tracking, workflow setup, reporting, and communication easier and more organized, preventing information from getting lost.
Dashboards and Rules That Supercharge Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
All of the different dashboards and rules to improve all workflows!
What do you dislike about the product?
That not all factors and characteristics are intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation in switching tasks to different people and also managing the workload of an agency.
Intuitive and Customizable for Effortless Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the usability and customization of Asana. The UI is very easy to use considering the complexity it allows. Being able to customize colors and more is an added plus. With easier usability, I can spend more time updating projects and tasks and less time trying to figure out the program itself. Everything is right on the main project page, and it's easy to flip from the overall project to tasks to schedules with little effort. The initial setup was very easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no negative comments about Asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for project organization, task tracking, collaboration, and scheduling.
Easy-to-Use Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to learn. Simple UX and very good for project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing, as it’s a very simple tool I think pricing is a little bit high if you compare it to other tools that are more complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management internal teams
Feels Like an Extra Step for Some Teams—We’re Not Using Asana to Its Full Potential
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all of the parts of my project live on Asana, with updates that any team member can see. I like how user friendly it is, I find it easy to use and interegrate other products I'm using.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the purposes of our team, we're not using Asana as much as we could. I can see that some team members view this ad an additional step in their work, not a tool that makes work easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana, we always know what stage a project is at and what needs addressed. Its nice to be on the same page with your teammates who might be across the nation.
