Powerful, Customizable, and Clean
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a powerful tool that makes cross-functional collaboration much easier. With a clean, sleek UI and high level of customization available, you can set up Asana in a way that works best for you and your team. I'm still discovering all the automations and customizations you can make, but even the simple mechanisms I've used such as project templates and dynamically-assigned project roles have saved me time. Our team used to work out of a mixture of Airtable and and shared Google Drive, which led to a disjointed process where not everything was visible to everyone and it was hard to find things. Asana keeps us organized and is great for templatizing repeatable processes. Asana is highly malleable and has numerous useful integrations. Our marketing team uses it every day to track and manage everything from small requests to meeting agendas to large-scale projects. We've had no issues and have not had to contact support about anything after using for several months.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana, like any tool, is only as useful as you set it up to be. Because of how customizable Asana is, the way you set it up and maintain it makes all the difference in your experience. If you set it up in a way that is confusing, it can seem overwhelming. When implementing Asana, I recommend having a dedicated project manager who takes the time to set everything up in a way that is usable and easy to maintain. As with any powerful tool with customization, there's a bit of a learning curve. However, once you have everything set up and get into a regular pattern of working in the tool, it's very easy to use. The notifications settings as they come out of the box can be overwhelming, but you can always turn them off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our marketing team has our OKRs housed in Asana, and we work primarily off of projects tied to each goal and subgoal. Asana has helped us keep track of our OKRs in a way that previously was difficult to do in Google Drive and Airtable. With Asana, we have visibility into what other parts of the marketing team are doing and how each team's goals fit into the larger business objective.
Good enough project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives us flexibility in how we manage work. We can switch between list and board views depending on what makes sense for the team or the type of work. The automations are handy, we’ve set up rules that take care of a lot of repetitive stuff, which saves time. It’s also pretty easy to onboard people since the interface is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Automations are fairly limited and you depend on 3rd party tools to do more. Migrating from other project management tools is not as easy for people to get used to, and the UI feels more bloated than other tools. In a list view, pressing enter creates a new task, which is annoying when you only want to edit the name of the task.

Cute and fun for daily tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I really love using Asana as it really clears the level of understanding of what needs to be done and it does so in very easy to use way. I love how after a task is completed there is a little animation that motivates me further to completing more tasks as well as making me feel more accomplished in even small tasks like writing an email or checking the mail.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more personalization options. As a bullet journal person, I really love taking the time to customize my lists and my areas so the lack of personalization does deter me from using it.

It helps with deadlines, it gives me a clear time frame and even sends reminders of when tasks are due.
