The workload view for capacity planning is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bugs in reporting, and dependencies aren't functional. Sub Tasks aren't functional
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can fit more work in, everyone is more aligned.
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.
My whole team loves Asana and it helps keep us so organized!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user-friendly and visual Asana is, as well as its customization capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the reporting and dashboard capabilities were a bit more robust and flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is using Asana to track Customer onboarding progress. With is we are able to see the status of all new customer setup progress in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take some time to explore Asana's support videos and documents so that you can make sure you are taking advantage of all of its capabilities! Also, the more that you can get others on your team to contribute, the more benefits of Asana you will realize.
Flexible Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
There are no rules on how to use Asana. Your team or organization can decide what features and settings make the most sense for you. Other project management systems I've worked with have been more rigid.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain features are limited to higher payment tiers, or require the use of 3rd party integrations in order to achieve. For example, shifting all the tasks in a project at once when a deadline changes isn't possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently we use Asana in several departments to manage workloads and improve team communication. Asana helps us document our workflow, which improves client reporting and makes it easy for us to reference past projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana works best when you can have a member on your team be an advocate for the platform. Don't try to force Asana on your organization, get people to buy into using it, and set standards and practices based on community feedback. For a small or medium organization, sometimes this can mean starting with just 1 department adopting it. Don't expect, or enforce every department to use Asana in the exact same way. Different teams should customize their workflows to what works best for them.
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.
Well-rounded task manager
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best is the ability to create and assign tasks to other people. If something needs to be done, I can create the task and assign it to the appropriate person that I know can get it done quickly instead of asking around. The fun animations when I complete a task gives me a small rush of much-needed endorphins too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more animations when yo complete a task. I also don't like how hard it is to find a completed task. Maybe I'm not utilizing or viewing it correctly, but finding old tasks seems to be hard for me, and I'm a certified Ambassador.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My boss is able to schedule stuff out a few months for me so I can see deadlines as far out as he has planned. We're solving the problem of "who's going to work on this forsure today" by letting someone claim the task when they have time for it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a collaboration tool for project management, this is probably it.
My experience with Asana is positive. I was the Integrator and Ambassador
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a powerful tool. The list is great to follow and the guides are easy. The community really makes the experience better than others. The layout and ease of use is of of its key points.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides of Asana include the pricing. The leading competitor has a better price point for all the tools they have to offer. We wish there was an opportunity to double assign a task. It helps keep everyone accountable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables the business to systemize and organize our workflows. It has helped us become more efficient and a place to house all our content and SOPS. We started using basecamp.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very useful to follow the guides and tips and tricks provided by Asana and the community. Saves a lot of time and easier to organize.
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

Awesome organiziation tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can nest my tasks under main projects and assign tasks to people. The boards make it super simple to keep projects organized and keep me on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you aren't familiar, it can be a little bit intimidating!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to organize all of my separate projects at work, the main benefit is keeping me on task and keeping track of the project itself.
