Excellent Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to get started in Asana. The program is very easy to use and understand without extensive instructions or teachings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the Asana mobile app. I mostly work from the desktop app though, so it's not a big deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me stay on track with cross-departmental projects. It also helps me stay on top of my personal to-do list.
A Project Manager's Dream
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can create subtasks and organize every detail of a project or task. It helps me plan and map out processes and steps for my projects. I also love that I can multihome
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it would sync with calendar to block out holidays or heavy meetings days so that tasks couldn't be assigned on those days. This would save time updating deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves the problem of cross team collaboration on large, long term, complex projects. It also prevents me from forgetting details because I can create a task and use it as a reminder to follow up in 2 weeks. My follow through has increased exponentially since using Asana!

Asana Is My Hero
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has become one of the most invaluable tools in my career. I have worked at Tesla, NerdWallet, and Amazon, all of which use Asana to great effect. It helps us easily track and view data, organize everything into a single-source-of-truth and automate mundane PM activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of Asana is that it tries to please everyone by enforcing new features that may have been brought up in forums, but never offering solutions for those who may want to not use that feature. Being able to customize the software to your specific needs would be wonderful, but it seems like some of the core settings are not customizable (like having the option to have Subtasks inhert the info of the parent task). I also wish the feedback feature didn't FORCE a Subtask to be written.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana, at its heart, is a time-saver. It automates mundane tasks, allows batch editing, and templatizes repeat projects. That's just a small fraction of its capabilities, but for my production graphic design team, we use it to track our endless work streams so that we're better prepared to handle fires and provide data for stakeholders.
Asana is one of the best platforms I've used
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to collaborate with my co-workers on projects and the amount of updates Asana makes regularly. Every month an incredible feature drop is created!
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems limited for agile projects. Also, the workflow and parameter possibilities appear to be endless, but when you get into them, they are very limited. Please don't make me pay other people for the work you should be providing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management typical problems. My organization has a lot of projects, and keeping our team centralized in only one platform makes the correlation between them really easy.
Asana assists with projects and daily work by facilitating transparency and communication
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which teams can collaborate and provide information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some collaborators can be resistant to using the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to track where tasks are in our processes and where the bottlenecks occur. This has allowed us to streamline our workflow and improve handoffs between teams.
Efficiency is Key for Success
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to collaborate with other departments on personnel and project needs. Having the feature to submit a form and then track the project was very helpful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found something that I particularly dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We submit referrals through an Asana form to our support services team for our students. It then creates a project to track the appointments and needs of the students. It's helpful because we can all stay informed to better serve our students and can hold each other accountable.
Asana helps me organize my work and be more productive during the day.
What do you like best about the product?
Creating rules is very helpful to prioritize my work on a daily basis automatically. Being able to tag my tasks to projects so I can organize the display based on the type of work I am completing is very nice. I LOVE the celebration when I complete tasks...very motivating for me!
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating tasks through the Asana app and Microsoft Outlook add-in is not as easy/functional as the desktop app/online. Notifications for shared boards can fill up my asana inbox with tasks/ updates that are not totally relevant to my daily work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us prioritize our daily work so we are proactive instead of reactive to our inboxes and also helps us collaborate on tasks and work progress on shared projects throughout our organization. It is also transparent so when you are added to a project all the historical information on tasks, history, and communication is available. whereas communication via email would be time-consuming to get caught up on requiring forwarding and manual dissemination of historical communications.
Invaluable tool for Project Management and team organisation.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ability to design the tool around the way my business and team work, meaning I can tailor it to each project or requirement. This makes it easier for my team or new members to adopt if they haven't used it already.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike some of the functions not being as smooth or integrated as I would like. Using it with sheets and other systems isn't seamless, and some of the goals could be adjusted to allow for more automation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving multiple problems. It aids me most with my project management by being able to structure and organize my projects and all within them. It also allows me to triage team and company requests that I receive for future projects, requests and other incoming comms. And it also solves the problems of awareness from leadership, as I can share the visibility of my team's workspaces and project boards with others so they can dial in and see status updates remotely.
Asana is KEY To My Team's Success
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part of Asana for our team is the custom fields function. We have been able to use custom fields to mark each task with project numbers to easily search and reference projects completed even years in the past. We also create custom fields to mark which team and team member is requesting each task. This way we can also use the reporting function (which is also amazing) to track which department or person is requesting the most from our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the biggest downside to Asana is its flexibility. Like any software there are many times where I want Asana to do something that just isn't possible. For example, when you are creating subtasks within Asana, it doesn't copy all of your settings from the main task. So you have to go in and manually enter that info for each subtask which is very time-consuming. Also, awhile back they changed the coloring system in Asana which totally messed up our team's entire workflow. I have to use Asana in color blind mode just to fix this issue, which is a really wonky workaround for software as robust as Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For our team the main problem Asana is solving is streamlining our workflow and tracking of projects. And I don't mean the day-to-day tracking because that is simple. But for our design team, we create projects daily that can be repurposed and reused in the future. We have hundreds of design tasks completed a month, so where Asana excels for us is the fact that I can search for something we made in September 2021 and if I use the right filters that I have set up, can find that specific file in minutes. I have never had a project management tool that has allowed me to do this the way Asana does.
