Great platform for task management.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana truly shines as a wholesome package for task management, acting as a comprehensive one-stop solution that bridges the gap between high-level strategy and daily execution. By consolidating communication directly within the context of specific tasks, it eliminates the "app fatigue" that usually comes from jumping between email and project tools. This centralized approach ensures that every conversation is tethered to a deliverable, which, combined with their remarkably prompt notification system, keeps teams inherently productive and focused. The ability to visualize these tasks within a calendar view is a significant boon for any project lead, as it transforms a dry list of deadlines into a clear, manageable timeline that makes resourcing feel intuitive rather than a chore.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most impressive "new" additions to the Asana ecosystem is the AI-powered Smart Summaries and the evolution of AI Teammates. These features take that "wholesome package" feel to the next level by automatically distilling long comment threads into brief action items, saving you from digging through old messages. Furthermore, their recent "Words to Workflow" capability allows you to describe a project process in plain English, and Asana’s engine will build out the custom fields, rules, and triggers for you. For a PM juggling multiple workstreams, this automation feels less like a tool and more like an extra set of hands, allowing you to stay in "vibe coding" or deep-work mode longer without getting bogged down in administrative setup.
However, even a 10/10 product has room to evolve, particularly regarding the Inbox experience. While the Inbox serves its purpose as a central hub, it can quickly become overwhelming when a project scales, leading to a "noise" problem where critical updates get buried under a mountain of notifications. To truly reach its potential, the Inbox needs more sophisticated filtering and "triage" features, perhaps incorporating dedicated tools for Pro users that allow for better categorization or snoozing of non-urgent pings. Refining the Inbox to handle high-volume messaging with the same grace that the Calendar handles tasks would make the platform feel truly frictionless for power users and growing teams alike.

What do you like best about the product?
User-friendly visualization and customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Most customization features require a paid membership, but I think overall, membership plans are affordable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining workflow and cross-functional collaboration! Saves time, increases efficiency, and improves teamwork/team morale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure everyone on your team is onboard. It works the best when a majority of a team is using it together.
Intuitive, with Extensive Functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very user friendly application, yet it offers a robust set of features and integrations making it easy to connect other platforms such as Slack, Zoom, or Google Workspace. The notifications are powerful yet easy to customize, and there are also good options for summary level information and updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features which are not yet as mature, such as goals and KPI tracking. The desktop also lacks some of the online features, and it is also a bit difficult to access project and task IDs in this environment (which are required for some integrations).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team are learning to work more asynchronously, while more consistently keeping updates, files, and related communication all together with their related tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you have a team of advocates involved from the start, and target some key teams early on.
A fantastic platform
What do you like best about the product?
Having a central repository to keep track of all of our current projects has been an extreme help and a huge timesaver for our organization. 2020 forced us to pivot in many ways, and we greatly struggled with staying on top of all of the projects we had going on. We use it every day all day for keeping track of the timelines, notes, and any relevant project-related documents. For this reason, I would highly recommend Asana to anyone that is struggling to manage multiple projects and/or clients at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides; it is simply a fantastic platform to use!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The timeline, in particular, has been the most crucial part of our onboarding process. It has been a gamechanger being able to see what milestones are coming and is a great way for us to remind our clients of upcoming deliverables.
One of the best project management software
What do you like best about the product?
It is so simple to use that I even use it during my private time. I have an easy way to arrange all the things I have to do for the day and I could see all the deadlines easely. I can pin also people on the tasks that they need to work on and give them deadlines, it is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing Really, I have been using Asana for about 5 years and I can't complain
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management and project management are the key areas that Asana helps me with. I can manage my work better with it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just use it, it is great
Asana has made me more productive by a LANDSLIDE
What do you like best about the product?
When we first started using Asana, I thought oh sure another product that will "help me" but WOW this actually helps me stay on top of my assignments across our 4 sister companies, running and planning promotions, managing issues, fixes and so much more. I often open my Asana inbox (my favorite feature) before my email inbox, as it gives me a better idea of what is going on in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was an option to just upgrade single users instead of the whole team. The majority of our users are very task based and the Premium Level is perfect for them, but the management team could benefit from the Business Level offerings, but the cost at our size right now is not justified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for so many differnt things including:
- Forms the team can fill out for issues to be handled in the weekly meetings
- Forms the team uses to recognize other members of the team for exceeding core values
- Calendar view in projects to plan the quarter/year ahead for marketing
- Reoccurring tasks for checking in on projects, and keeping training on track across all departments.
- Reporting of tasks - completed, past due, number of recognitions and what they are for (from the forms mentioned above) and more is reviewed from a report in our weekly meetings.
Honestly I could go on and on, but those are the top 5

I finally feel organized
What do you like best about the product?
Clean user interface, very easy to pick up and learn. Works great for project managers and deliverable-creators alike. I integrate Clockwork and Everhour. A million times better than Basecamp.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not super conducive with kanban. The need to task things out to individuals still puts you into a waterfall-like structure. Would also like to have subtasks automatically assigned to boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forecasting. So great to get a clear picture of each person's capacity every day. I definitely feel more productive and can confirm items on my to-do list.
Super easy and simple to navigate

Amazing work management tool for collaboration!

Various interfaces to choose from based on different scenarios. The tasks and subtasks features can also help me to list down all my requirements to complete the campaign.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe can have more automation functions so that we can set up more rules and save more time at work. But all good for now!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work more closely with my team during remote office. I can easily track the current progress for every tasks and campaigns, and let everyone understand their responsibility in the project.
