Essential for Research Workflow, Reliable for Over a Decade
What do you like best about the product?
it captures my research workflow. I have been using it for >12 years.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that I had access to all the features of asana. But I understand since I am an early adopter and am not paying for those services.

Effortless Integration and Intuitive Features Make Work so much easier.
What do you like best about the product?
Love how easy it is to use, how it integrates with many of the tools we have and I can usually figure things out pretty quickly. I appreciate the addition of new features and templates that make our lives easier as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that within a project there are only sections and then tasks and subtasks. I wish there was a way to organize things so that I can have multiple projects within a project template. If I have a section, then a task, then I have to do subtasks, I'd like there to be an option where I can have many sections within one section or many projects in one project if that makes sense.

I find Asana incredibly valuable for managing product teams, planning, and handling daily tasks due to its user-friendly interface, which is a significant improvement over my team's previous experience with Jira.

Setting up Asana was also a breeze, making the transition from Jira seamless and ensuring my team could get started with minimal disruption.

I don't like how admin permission works. For example, if I want to fix or add something in a different project, I can't because I need to be added to that project, which is really annoying.

Essential for Remote Team Collaboration, but Requires Extensive Onboarding
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Asana helps keep our team connected, even though we all work remotely for a significant portion of the week. It enables us to communicate in real time as we progress through different projects, making it invaluable for our creative collaboration across all departments in a small nonprofit. I love that Asana makes it very easy for our team to stay focused and connected on complex and lengthy tasks. It's a great platform for direct communication and allows us to champion each other's work as we go through projects together.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the onboarding process for Asana quite challenging, as it takes a significant amount of time and effort to train the entire team, especially given their varying skill sets. It required dedicated team members to focus on this as part of their job for several weeks. While Asana is a robust platform, this complexity in initial training could be a potential concern for new users or teams considering adopting it.

A Solid Project Management Tool, Though Sometimes More Complicated Than Necessary
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a reliable, well-structured tool that keeps our team organized and aligned. I like that it gives you multiple ways to view work—list, board, timeline—which makes it easy to switch between high-level planning and day-to-day task management. It also integrates well with other tools we use, so information doesn’t get lost. Overall, it’s dependable and helps me stay on top of projects without too much friction.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times it feels more complex than it needs to be. There are layers of features, menus, and settings that can make simple workflows feel heavier than they should. Compared to tools like Trello, which feel extremely intuitive, Asana can be a bit overwhelming—especially for quick, lightweight task tracking. It gets the job done, but I often find myself wishing the interface were more streamlined and straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me coordinate work with external contractors, especially designers and web developers. It gives us a single place to share tasks, files, and feedback, which cuts down on back-and-forth messages and keeps everyone aligned on what needs to get done. Having clear deadlines, comments, and status updates in one workspace makes it easier to manage multiple projects at once and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. Overall, it keeps our contractor collaboration organized and predictable.
