Simple but powerful project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Its simplicity and low learning curve. While some features may not be available when compared to other software options, all the basics are there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main problem with Asana is the requirement to choose a start or a target date to set up all date calculations in a task. While it makes sense from a planning point of view, it lacks the flexibility of other PM options that allow for making date calculations.
It also lacks a powerful Gantt chart option, and the licensing structure can be confusing for some organizations that don't share a common domain.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana primarily addresses the question of "who is doing what and when." It offers a straightforward way to organize tasks and add labels for additional classification, making it easier to manage everything. Additionally, it facilitates collaboration by allowing users to add notes, comments, and attachments simply and visually.
Great for task organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like how seamless Asanas usability is. It's really great for staying organized with tasks and managing workflow. Highly recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
There may be a bit of a learning curve with getting familiar with Asana, but after a while, it should be smooth sailing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is single-handedly helping people maintain organized and current with all work that needs managing.
Excellent tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to use. I like the animations within the application that keeps the user engaged.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used asana in my previous organization and then wanted to introduce this tool in the new job, but the trail period ended too soon. If the trail period can be kept until x number of users are added instead of the number of days asana is used then it would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The task assignment is very easy and it helps me keep track of of all the tasks which the user has been assigned with. I also like the dependant feature where a task is locked until the master or the parent task is completed. It has helped me address my deliverables in time. Task management is excellent which it comes to asana.
We live and die in Asana.

What do you dislike about the product?
They tend to make small updates that affect our use of Asana with seemingly no warning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana lets us get a clear view of the time we spend on clients and the overall time our employees work. This helps us manage SOW but also ensures that our Experts aren't being overworked, maintaining our people-first culture.
A Balance of Power and Simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use and Intuitive Interface: This is consistently the top highlight. Asana is widely praised for its clean, user-friendly design. It's relatively easy to get started with, even for those new to project management software, and its layout is straightforward, making it simple to navigate tasks, projects, and communications. The learning curve is generally considered shorter than many of its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive for Advanced Features: While the free plan is decent for very small teams or personal use, many of Asana's truly powerful features (like Timeline/Gantt charts, Portfolios, Workload management, advanced reporting, and higher automation limits) are locked behind the more expensive Starter, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. The price per user can quickly add up for larger teams, making it a significant investment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teams often struggle with knowing who is responsible for what task, what the next steps are, and by when they need to be completed. This leads to missed deadlines, duplicated efforts, and general confusion.
Great Task Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Even though it may seem daunting at the beginning, asana is easy to use once understood, great to organise tasks and projects with different users, not too complicated to implement once done is a marvellous asset to have.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes more personalisation would be great to have, it would bring more fluidity to the tasks assigned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A more organised and centralised place where all the information necessary for a project or task is found and placed.
Helpful Platform but Still Learning
What do you like best about the product?
I like the overall user interface design. As designers, we appreciate the visual aesthetics and interaction design since Asana is a platform we use regularly. For work, we like how it organizes things for our team and allows us to stay on track with projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that it's a bit difficult to setup and know exactly what is capable for us to do to improve efficiency for the team. It takes a lot of time to figure out the best way to set things up for the team and isn't the most intuitive for how to best do things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving the issue of organzing our projects and managing our work we're completing. It also allows us to communicate with transparancy with our clients about what we are working on and where we are headed. This allows us to manage our time and workload well, keep projects organized and moving forward, and keep us on task.
Easy, Intuitive, and Invaluable - Best Project Management Software out there
What do you like best about the product?
It’s very simple to use, there is a very short learning curve!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to assign multiple people to a single task!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking care of small business logistics, projects, workflow dependencies, scheduling tasks, as well as documentation for tasks!
Great for task-based work, challenging to use as communication tool outside of messages board.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to add tasks and generate insights about work. Resourcing tool has been a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Challenging for team to find certain tasks, there are few ways to call attention to or format tasks in a way that certain members of the team can easily find them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
resourcing by making informed decisions about workload, but estimated time is not a perfect science.
Simple but powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of project management templates makes Asana so user friendly. It is a customizable product and it is a simple way to stay on the same page with all of the people that I work with. Integration with Microsoft was easy and extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is busy and needs to be simplified. I just did a project management training class for my organization and people felt a little overwhelmed with the tool because it is so busy. If you simplified the interface and made it more sleek, that would be amazing and implementation with staff would be so much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping my organization to communicate more effectively by having this dynamic tool that allows us to have real time updates on the status of projects. It also provides a way for us to have less face to face meetings.
