Optimize Project Management with Clear Flow
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been very useful for managing improvement projects in my current role as a process engineer. What I like the most is that it has a very clear workflow, for example with the task flow: pending, in progress, in validation, and closed. Asana makes it easy to follow up on actions resulting from meetings and ensures that things actually get done. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can become burdensome to carry when there are many active projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me manage improvement projects, facilitates the tracking of actions after meetings, and ensures that tasks are actually executed.
Great for Managing Multiple Projects with Handy Teams & Outlook Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to manage multiple projects across my team and manage myself. I've set up a customized view of my to-do list which is full of recurring reminders, random tasks, and assigned tasks from current projects. The connection to Microsoft Teams and Outlook is also incredibly handy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only big downfall I've seen is the inability to increase the font size within the desktop app. It also has limited abilities for calendar planning. I love that a project has the calendar view, but it's really limited in how things can be colored or how they appear. If they could improve that feature so I could truly turn on calendar view and show that to executives, that would be amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a fully remote marketing team in a fully remove company. Asana gives us the ability to work efficently across states, time zones, and countries without losing collaboration.
Efficient Task Management, Generic UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana helps me figure out what teams are currently working on and what's coming up next, which basically keeps me organized. I appreciate that you can assign statuses to different jobs so you can see the progress, which helps me stay on track and plan my week or month ahead. It was very easy to understand and navigate from the start.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit dull and looks the same as any other app - quite generic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me figure out what teams are working on and what's coming next, keeping us organized. Assigning statuses to jobs lets me track progress and plan ahead.
Easy Task Tracking, But Integration Options Are Too Limited
What do you like best about the product?
Task tracking flow and easy of use for the most part
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of integration with other platforms such as teams, very limited in this area
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was good for tracking tasks manually but the lack of inegration and automation is lacking to be able to use as a sole solution
Streamlined Project Management with Room for UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I think the planning aspect of Asana works out very well. I like the fact that I can add tasks and subtasks, and it handles that really well. Since I'm running a consultancy with multiple clients, it's essential that I have an accurate snapshot of what is due and when clients expect it, and Asana helps in that regard with a well thought out timeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the way Asana handles files confusing. It's nice to attach them to messages and comments, but once they're associated with a project, it's really hard to manage them. I can't get a list view or sort them, and they end up in a strange masonry style. Also, while the initial setup was straightforward, Asana, like many project management tools, has too many features which makes it hard to keep it simple. The design lacks a clear visual hierarchy, which can bury important options and information quickly. It feels like the UI was designed by engineers or productivity experts, and could really benefit from a visual overhaul for better clarity. I also really, REALLY dislike the fact that the pricing is at best, disingenuous, and at worst, deceptive: even as a solopreneur, I'm forced to buy 2 seats, so like countless others, I have one extra seat that I just don't need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for timeline management and as a central hub for communication and file access.
Intuitive and Collaborative, with Some Room for Improvement in Onboarding Others
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Asana saves everything I type so quickly. I never lose my work, which is incredibly reassuring. I can easily take notes, share links, and copy/paste information, and even if it's just in an unsent comment, it's still saved and searchable. I find the initial setup pretty easy and very intuitive for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have a partner who struggles with the layout so I’m always working to get him more comfortable in it. I think the dashboard can get confusing to him. The way projects are organized is different from a typical folder structure used in other operating systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for a common location to track to-do lists, agenda items, and shared workflows for my consulting work and household. It really cuts down on duplication and abandoned work tools.

Highly Recommend Asana for Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana's interface; it's very simple and user-friendly. I also enjoy the gamification features, which make it fun to use. It's very orderly and organized, making it easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I noticed that they've been adding more workflow and goals and other tabs, and I feel like it might be becoming a little bit more complex. The beauty of Asana was that simplicity. Adding more and more features feels like it's straying a little bit from the original simplicity motto that they've been operating under. That complication of things and additional features may not be used by everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves time management and organization issues, keeps everything in order, and facilitates team collaboration. Everyone knows what's been done, and we're all on the same page.
Good Overall, but find yourself a couple tutorials to get the gist of it

Once you have the basics down, everything feels very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Starting from zero isn’t that easy; it takes time to learn and get comfortable with it.
