Robust engine, powering leadership's high-level goal tracking and multi-homing cross-team efforts.
What do you like best about the product?
Multi-homing and visibility for cross-team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications and permissions are noisy and messy to customize. Annoying that some are hidden for adjustments. A universal permissions settings feature would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing leadership asked for data, analytics and metrics on campaigns, visibility into a team-wide 10,000' calendar, projects rolling up to goals and cross-team collaboration tool. Our team chose the platform based on this criteria and so far Asana is performing as a robust engine, driving marketing alignment across these OKRs very well.
Effortless Project Management for Complex Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it easy to manage complex and multi-faceted projects with a lot of moving pieces. Their functionality is robust and it feels like they've thought of every little thing. Great for multi-layered teams to delegate and cross manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
With so much functionality and a comprehensive feature suite it can be overwhelming to learn and get started. The onboarding tutorials aren't the most streamlined and clear to make navigating the platform intuitive and seamless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
staying organized during multi-month long projects can be tedious and challenging. Asana makes it easier to make sure things get done on time and correctly, and they make it fun too with the embedded gamification. Asana allows us to process the logistics of complex deliverables that otherwise would be a nightmare.

Easy to Use with Robust Features and Delightful Design
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use, yet has robusts features if needed. Cheerful color scheme and "delight" makes it easier to get team to adopt it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was the ability to have templates used universally! Not just in one project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to keep a whole team on track and have visible deadlines had been extremely difficult using just Google Docs, getting my team onboarded into Asana is really helping streamline things and decrease my stress levels.
Intuitive and Visual Project Management with Seamless Calendar Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very simple and intuitive to use. Additionally, our team members appreciate the dashboard, as it helps us easily visualize the status of our projects. We have also integrated Asana with Outlook Calendar, which has been a lifesaver for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would find Asana more useful if I could download the Gantt chart for the project timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has been instrumental in helping our department stay on track with project timelines. As a small team with a heavy workload, we sometimes let a few tasks slip through the cracks when we were using MS Projects. Now, receiving email reminders about deadlines from Asana helps ensure that team members remember their tasks and stay organized.
Great Task Organizer with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
An ultimate task and project organizer, with set of attributes and manageable ownership that make it easy to take up by any kind of team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some UI is counterintuitive and some updates hide things and/or limit previous features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track with the team our deadlines and projects' completeness.
Highly Customizable with Flawless Communication
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Asana offers extensive customization options for my task boards, allowing me to tailor them to my specific use cases. This flexibility means I can easily create private boards or tasks as needed and link and reference between different boards. The chat feature is also outstanding; messaging is seamless, and I can effortlessly add files and photos. Plus, the ability to reference different tasks by just pasting a URL into the chat makes collaboration straightforward and efficient. I genuinely appreciate the flawless integration of notifications with Windows and the availability of the Asana mobile app, which ensures I stay informed even when I am on the go or when Asana is not open on my desktop. Additionally, working on multiple projects has become significantly easier, and Asana stands out compared to Trello, which my previous employer used. It's miles ahead in terms of functionality and user experience. Another major plus is Asana’s easy setup, which lets me endlessly customize with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find searching between tasks to be very difficult. With thousands of tasks in Asana, remembering key words is nearly impossible, making the process cumbersome. I would appreciate a feature that identifies similar past tasks when a new task is created, which would improve task management and efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for task management, providing a customizable space to create, modify, and organize tasks efficiently. Its seamless chat and notification integration enhance communication and project handling, even on mobile.
All-in-One Collaboration for Seamless Teamwork
What do you like best about the product?
Everything can be organised in one place where you can work collaboratively with your team and self manage your time
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes too much information especially if other users don't interact as much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising mine and my teams work.
Flexible and Intuitive for Project Management, But Needs Outcome Mapping
What do you like best about the product?
I find Asana to be incredibly useful for project management and project reviews. It offers great flexibility and allows me to set up projects in a manner that suits my needs, which is a huge advantage because I deal with different types of projects. The ability to customize columns in every project provides significant flexibility, accommodating the varied demands of individual projects. Asana is also intuitive to use, making it a breeze to manage a large number of tasks efficiently. The Rules engine is another feature that I appreciate because it automates the setup process for complex projects, allowing me and my team to focus more on execution rather than configuration. The platform's compatibility with Google Suite integrations enhances its utility further, streamlining workflows and facilitating better collaboration across distributed teams. Asana's capability for visibility and transparency empowers seamless collaboration and enables us to follow timelines effectively, ensuring that every team member is aligned and aware of any project deviations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that Asana is not effective in managing outcomes. It works well if you have a project built to its template, but in cases where my workflow is not like that of a tech product, some of it has to be managed outside Asana because it cannot be structured properly within it. Additionally, if I have several separate projects contributing to a single outcome, Asana does not allow me to map their interplay effectively since it is designed to manage projects as separate portfolios. Furthermore, the initial setup of Asana requires quite a bit of time and thought to determine the best way to set up a project for my specific use case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for project management, providing visibility, transparency, and seamless collaboration for distributed teams. It helps templatize workflows, simplifying complex task tracking, and allows customization to suit different project needs.
Intuitive and Efficient Task Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's sleek and easy interface; it's not overwhelming and the clean design makes going through tasks much more enjoyable. The design effectively helps keep all my tasks grouped together while only showing me what's due rather than everything at once, preventing an overwhelming workday. I find Asana exceptionally helpful in managing my time, as it gives me proper notices for future tasks I might forget. The initial setup of Asana was very easy, and there was no struggle in adding new team members, which makes the transition smooth. Its capability to help organize and manage my management duties - like to-do lists, weekly and monthly tasks - really stands out as a valuable feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently there is another I dislike about Asana, as I continue to use the application if anything comes up that’s inefficient I will reach out to the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to organize and manage my tasks efficiently. It enhances my time management by providing timely reminders for future tasks, and its sleek design prevents task overload, keeping my focus clear.
