I love it, I share it, and I want it to do just a bit more
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best, cleanest, and funnest UI. It's the easiest task-management software to teach my team and has a welcoming design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am in the process of trying to sell my management on getting an asana description, and I'm always a bit hung up on the same things.
1. Colored text- This would be huge for helping to emphasize and highlight the body of tasks.
2. Multiple "Messages" tabs in a project - I want a place to track about daily updates, and I want a page for project specific messages.
3. Multiple "List Views" in projects, with the ability to change sections/fields - My tasks for a project may vary in what department handles them and the information I need for them.
4. Portfolios not showing specific tasks within a project - I want to see within the gant veiw of a portfolio exactly which milestones a project still needs to hit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having one place that archives specific details of tasks and makes them easy to duplicate and share, for projects with very similar needs.
Easy use for me and my team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has varying level sof use, so it can be as simple to use as a personal checklist, but can also be used to set up a project for multiple team members to work across.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the more complicated aspects of the tool, it can be intimidating for newer users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps me organized and accountable for my daily tasks. Anything that isn't a very quick to-do from emails gets put in Asana so that I can both track my progress and track the progress of others on my team who I am waiting on.
A Game-Changer for Project Management - If Your Team Commits
What do you like best about the product?
I've used Asana across multiple teams and project types, from marketing campaigns to product development. Compared to other project management tools like Trello, Monday, or ClickUp, Asana is my favorite-- especially when it is used to it's full potential. The best part about Asana is how it centralizes everything- tasks, files, conversations, deadlines - all in one place. Instead of wasting time digging through emails to Slack threads to figure out where things are at, you can just open Asana and get straight to work. It really helps to manage the sense of overhwelm.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest challenge isn't the software - it's the people. Getting buy-in from team members who have never used project management tools before can be tough. There's a learning curve, and some people resist the structure it introduces. They prefer using things like Google calendar, inbox, or paper lists to manage their tasks, and think that moving to a new platform creates more work. It's just not true, but a real obstacle to overcome. But usually once people are on board, the improvement in team alignment and productivity is noticeable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Asana, I often struggled with scattered communication, unclear responsibilities, and wasted time trying to figure out what needed to be done, when, and by whom. Important information was spread across emails, chats, documents, and meetings- making it hard to stay productive and aligned. Asana brings everything into one place- tasks, deadlines, files, updates, and communication. It gives me a clear picture of what's happening across projects without chasing people down or hunting for context. That clarity helps me prioritize better, collaborate more smoothly, and spend less time managing work, and more time doing it.
Best project management tool for our agency
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexible and can be used to track a wide range of things - from project goals like budget and client notes to task details and review checkpoints. They've really made something that can be adapted for a wide range of use cases. Our team uses it all day, every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I've struggled with is setting my notifications. I feel like its too many or not enough. Its probably something that I could find deep in the settings, but I'd love to be able to dial in all of my notification settings for every board in one place, rather than going project by project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team communicate clearly. All of the project details can be found in Asana, rather than digging through slack, drive, emails, etc.
Seamless organization
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you are able to link directly to documents in Google Drive since all of our previous project management was done using Google Sheets. I also love that everything is in one place rather than hundreds of different spreadsheets. Finally, it is awesome that tasks can live in more than one project and projects can live in more than one portfolio. Oh, and I also like the live webinars and the asynchronous training. I use Asana every day to organize not only my work tasks, but my life tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure I dislike anything. I just need to learn more about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of projects that are multi-faceted that different departments and owners contribute to, that all lead up to a larger project. The portfolio feature on Asana is very useful for us.
Clean interface and easy to understand and navigate
What do you like best about the product?
It feels intuitive and the short cut support is very good and mostly makes sense. Easy to teach and learn as such, and generally simple when trying to structure projects and tasks in a way that makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel hard to adapt the organization of project lists and task lists in a way that would be easier to visualize and conceptualize, like if scope creep occurs lists can get long and overwhelming and reorganizing can be tedious or a bit time-consuming.
Can take time to get used to and create a habit of filling in fields (which can be customizable) but requires users to definitely put in full effort and not slack on filling in parts of task/project items

As an IT Support tech:
- Keeps track of all tasks when onboarding users and deploying computers to users, documentation
- Simplifies asks from manager and project managers so that they're broken into tasks
- Tracks and notifies of deadlines or completion of specific items by others
- One-stop shop for all projects, somewhat easy to see overall view of what the team is trying to achieve in a sprint

Easy and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, responsive kanban board, customisable type of task, email reminders for every update in the task you ever been assigned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somtimes the app takes time to load on the web initially
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In every scrum and we used to update the task, set each and every detail to track the progress.
An Accessible, Flexible and Powerful Workload Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
We recently consolidated several Asana instances into one enterprise-level account. This has made things much easier to manage from a user and licensing perspective and also opened up some collaboration opportunities across my teams (i.e. - one of our teams has been using third party automation software to automate repetitive tasks across their systems. We're now learning about this for possible expansion.)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a dedicated page to provide status updates for projects. By default, it provides two fields to populate but we also add two of our own. These fields have to be manually added before the first project update for each project but then appear for future updates. I'd really like to be able to save a Project Status Update template that could automatically be used for every project.
The account consolidation process was painful. Several teams had Admin spaces with separated team members that got merged into the new instance. Since the old separate Admin portals were shut down, we had no way to fully remove them from the old teams without going through support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is able to accomplish a disproportionately high amount of project activity relative to our size. However, we needed a way to better organize, manage and gain visibility into our various projects. Asana quickly and effectively replaced our previous solution and also increased the engagement of our users.
