Highly Recommend, Organization Done Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to keep tasks divided up and detailed enough to find and execute your portions of projects and also keep track of where others may be and see their updates as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me it is the mobile version (which is great), but I much prefer the extra details and abilities you get on the web page version
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps different people on time with their portions of projects, and also by posting and completing tasks, it is a form of indirect communication between employees on updates for where they are and how things are going. Being able to loop in collaborators on certain areas also makes life very easy instead of having to explain through emails, they can just log in and see where you are
Easy to use for any industry
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable it is, and how clean the design is. Once you're used to the system, it makes task management so efficient. I use it all day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the columns were more customizable, but with updates that happen pretty frequently, I don't see it being a problem forever.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps everything in one place for my whole remote team. Communication is easy and efficient
It's a great bit of software IF you can convince your team to use it, and use it properly
What do you like best about the product?
Sounds simple, but the built-in light/dark mode is a big feature. It's straight-forward to use as an Administrator once your permissions are set up correctly.
The UI is very neat and there's lots of options for folders and sub-folders for tasks. For example you can have a main overarching Portfolio (Marketing) then projects in that portfolio (Design work) and then tasks in each Project for neat organisation. You can associate work to teams or to people or entire projects to teams or people. You can also create tasks on behalf of someone and message in-app as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
It wasn't obvious that permissions needed to be set up specifically prior to having people use it out-of-the-box. Because if you don't, there's literally zero way to delete or edit a project that was created by someone else, even if you're the admin who PAYS the very high subscription price of Asana. I've had to have multiple meetings with different employees to run them through manually giving me Project Admin of their Projects, JUST so I could delete the project or rename it. I can only imagine how much of a pain in the butt this would have been if I had 10x the amount of employees and hadn't noticed this earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transparency of work being completed by remote workers
Easy to use, makes your life easier when used correctly
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very nice, Gantt charts are very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
The dependencies are easy to create but the logic is off sometimes - it should be automatically moved and changed according to the dependency and not be manual to update and change cause it affects the timeline
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks ownership - timelines - saving everything about the project in one place - coordination between multiple offices
Tons of features and flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of features and flexibility on how to set it up for our needs.
Multi homing is a great feature because that reflects reality - many a times, a project is part of many portfolios and a task/milestone is part of many projects.
Goals section and the Strategy map to connect goals and portfolios/projects is Fantastic.
Mostly intuitive.
Once we have learnt it, it is very easy to use.
I am impressed with overall speed and sync speed too. What my colleague updates, I can see it near instantly - this is Awesome.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve. I know that Asana provides onboarding help and training help. So, ideally this should mitigate the issue of the learning curve.
Reporting specific to certain tasks/milestones/section is missing as a feature. Meaning, reporting tells how many tasks got completed or had a certain value, but if I want to report specifically on the values of certain tasks against other tasks then such a feature isn't there.

We have Jira for our Agile Project Management. But we are using Asana for Executive Leadership level tracking and reporting of all projects and intitiatives.
Great for a small team
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and teach
Works well to both organize projects and share with our wider organization

What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing to public on the web with link isn't necessarily the easiest to figure out how to work so that everyone can see without creating Asana accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting work done in a timely manner was an issue for my team, so having the Timeline function is critical!
Seamless Learning with Asana University
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has truly made it simple to get started with its intuitive and user-friendly platform. The availability of Asana University directly within the app was a game-changer—it allowed me to learn the software quickly and effortlessly. This thoughtful feature streamlined the onboarding process and helped me feel confident using the tool right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Asana is an excellent tool overall, I feel the mobile app could benefit from enhancements to better align with the desktop version. The current disparity between the two can disrupt the workflow, and mirroring the features and design would create a more seamless and cohesive user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m excited about how Asana can help bring our projects together across different teams. I’m looking forward to using its tools to see progress and track our work more easily. I can’t wait to see how it can make our organization work even better.
