Asana is our control center and it works
What do you like best about the product?
The sustem is flexible that allows us to configure to our needs. The riding plan is such that it allowed us to experiment for quite some time before we switched to a paid plan. The application is fast and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some specific features or lack thereof that are annoying. Like there is no system task ID. You can add one but it’s not the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for our product management and customer success tracking. It’s the central task management system.
A great project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a really solid project management tool—it's easy to use, helps keep tasks organized, and makes it simple for teams to collaborate and track progress. Being able to assign tasks, set deadlines, and see everything in one place definitely makes managing projects way less stressful. If you want a simple and effective way to keep things on track, Asana does the job well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can be really frustrating because so many important features are locked behind different paywalls. The free plan is pretty limited, and as soon as your team grows or you want to do anything beyond basic task tracking, you have to upgrade — which gets expensive quickly. It feels like you can’t fully use Asana without constantly hitting walls unless you pay up, which can be a big headache for small or budget-conscious teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving task management with multiple projects.
Great Tool for Project Management Purposes
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana's intuitive, visually-driven interface. The Board and Timeline views make it incredibly easy to see where a project stands at a glance. The ability to create forms and automate processes with custom rules is a game-changer for streamlining workflows like project requests, saving significant time and effort. Asana's capacity to handle both detailed tasks and high-level portfolios is invaluable for keeping everyone from individual contributors to leadership aligned on goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is powerful, the full suite of features can be overwhelming for new users without proper training. The learning curve for advanced features like rules and integrations can be steep. Also, integrating with other tools, while possible, can sometimes be a bit clunky, requiring a good amount of setup and maintenance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has solved our problem of fragmented communication and project management. Before Asana, we relied on a mix of emails, spreadsheets, and chat apps, leading to missed deadlines and a lack of transparency. Asana provides a single source of truth for all projects, from initial request to completion. This centralized approach has eliminated manual bottlenecks, improved team collaboration, and provided a clear view of our progress towards key company objectives, ultimately boosting our efficiency and accountability.
Perfect task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
It allows you to view all active projects so you can distribute tasks equitably among the entire team and help you with all task development in real time. By allowing integrations with other platforms, it reduces our workload and automates processes, allowing you to always keep track of each task. Its plan prices are affordable and affordable. Its sales and support services are very friendly, providing accurate information with helpful answers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me time to learn how to use the entire platform; it's extensive, and there wasn't any dedicated training from a trainer. So, what I learned was on my own merits, with the help of customer service, who helped me occasionally, but not all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me improve my work management by tracking and refining objectives with its built-in AI, which helps improve each process and provides better ideas.
Best project manage tool out there.
What do you like best about the product?
It allows teams to work on tasks together with appropriate levels of access.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overwhelming to learn at first, but that is necessary for the complexity needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping projects moving forward. We can provide due dates and employees can find the best way to view their assigned tasks that works for them.
Entry Level, User Friendly Task Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
The most beneficial parts of Asana are its collaborative features, its use of AI, its free training services, its user interface, its support team, its simplicity, and its ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst parts of Asana are its speed of implementing meaningful updates and features, its extremely limited automation features, and its impracticality when it comes to sharing work across companies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves problems for my team at the project management level, at the task level, and at a collaborative level. It is critical for my team to stay on top of projects and ensure their timely completion and Asana does this incredibly well. It ensures that me and my team are continually aware of what work needs to be completed and where it is currently at. This, in turn, helps us to achieve the goals and objectives of our work and deliver what is needed by both those we serve and those we report to.
Asana: Collaboration at Your Fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
It has many features to appeal to those who want detailed ways of working on tasks and tracking progress, while also being intuitive enough for those who only want to add tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish some features like portfolios had the option to have a free version of them. Like 2 portfolios or 2 goals to track free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team move from working in silos where tasks and projects are managed in individual docs, to collaborating together to accomplish an initiative or project in a more visible way.
My Experience with Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to organize my hours so that I can hold myself accountable to the projects that I have started and to ensure I am not working more than my 40 hours each week (unless the week calls for it). As a nonprofit, we do not often provide overtime payments to employees and since we have so many events I like to be able to track the amount of work I've done each week and Asana makes it easy to do this. It also makes it easy for me to create reports for my recurring work tasks so when my mid-year reviews role around I don't have to spend hours thinking about what work I've done over the last 6 months, I can just hit a few buttons and pull it up! Another thing that I love about Asana is how compatible it is with our automation software. We have linked Asana to platforms like N8N to autopopulate Asana tasks based off responses in a Google form. This streamlines our work exponentially.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rules are so difficult for me to understand / implement. My supervisor set up Asana project boards for us with pre-set rules but when I try to make my own boards I am unable to replicate these rules. I will say I have no sought out any training BUT I am tech-savvy and the rules interface is not user-friendly. The "AI Assistance" in the rules interface is useless as well - every time I try to utilize it the AI never can help and it just wastes my time. I am also not the biggest fan of the new update that altered the way that you manually enter time to tasks. It is not a problem if its a task that you work on in one sitting, but for tasks that you work on little-by-little throughout the week it can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an office we did not have a good system for tracking our hours, managing projects, or collaborating asynchronously - Asana has helped solve these problems. We have a flexible work environment where we often have people working from home, working in another part of the building, or off-site with a partner. It can be difficult to get an update on someone's progress if you are waiting for them to answer their email but when you have the ability to view their work tracker and see how many of their "action items" have been completed, it takes out the need to be in constant communication.
Asana is a Phenomenal Product
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does a great job with their underlying data structure. Allowing a many-to-one relationship between different objects helps make it very easy to cross-collaborate, track, and manage various tasks for different projects with concurrent or overlapping work.
Having the ability to create projects that can be duplicated has helped out team tremendously for being able to track similar customer-facing projects that have different implementation flavors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Subtasks are unfortunately treated as a forced bundle that requires the user to think more than they have to about what belongs as a task or a subtask.
Adding a task to 2 projects means that inherently ALL subtasks are required to come along with it. Similarly, filters on projects only apply to metadata at the task level, and cannot be used to filter out subtasks that fail to meet the specified criteria.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is allowing our team to create multiple flavors of our implementation strategy, which means we can have a project act as our single source of truth for all implementation tasks that can exist across all flavors of implementation. We can then create different projects that make use of these shared tasks so that the project can be duplicated for a given partner project.
This allows for us to have an easy one stop shop for updating a task that then cascades to all shared projects. It is also beneficial that the duplicate projects are disconnected and not linked to the source tasks, since this allows for individual customer projects to be tracked independently with no need for shared tasks.

5 Stars
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great integrated workflow system to help organise workflow through teams, I like how you can personalise your own project space and add teams to collaborate or set certain tasks,
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot to learn about Asana, so a lot of training and onboarding is needed in order to understand all the different uses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is benefitting the workflow system but helping organise workflow and assign jobs from a design perspective.
