Useful for Teams, But Needs Better Board Management
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to create portfolios of projects and from a project management perspective, its an effective tool. There are some good automations, which are helpful (although annoying you have to upgrade for some which would be very useful). I also like that I can easily create dashboards and templated.
What do you dislike about the product?
From an organizational perspective, I do not like that we cannot audit our Asana boards and remove them. I also do not like that its difficult to find simple integrations from my email to add actions into an Asana board. We have found workarounds but not ideal.

Helps us track projects and workflows.
Great Collaboration Tools, But Some Features Still Missing

the ultimate tool we use to ensure everything is on track.
Helping Shape Stakeholder Management and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
In my current role, I have utilized Asana to stay in contact with multiple stakeholders or manage project/activity needs. It is very useful at helping yo keep track of roadmaps and frameworks while also helping to coordinate digital learning rollouts. Since I manage a committee, this has helped me assign action items to various members, and track goals, keeping everything centrally located to our work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a separate platform. Sometimes individuals and teams do not see the need for another PM program. If everyone isn't using it together, you get limited results. I also wish there was a better storytelling/storyboarding feature. Because of this I have to utilize separate apps to design frameworks, and track assessment, like Miro or Lucidchart, etc. More of an all in one platform would be more ideal and limit bouncing from program to program, especially considering Asana is a PM platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Honestly, one of the biggest issues in L&D management, is dealing with multiple stakeholders across timezones and regions globally. This helps centralize that into one location, being able to consolidate people into groups to manage easier, notify, etc.
Effective task and dependency management, but a bit complex
What do you like best about the product?
task and dependency management is very effective. It has very lot of feature
What do you dislike about the product?
At first it is very complicated and the learning curve is a bit steep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has enabled us to implement effective workflows within our organization, allowing project managers to create and manage tasks and dependencies, including with suppliers, and understand the efforts and KPIs achieved.

The notification within the team get to be too much at times.

Coordination with teams across the different projects.
Clear Project Layout and Reports, But Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly clear project layout, tasks and reports
What do you dislike about the product?
Goals are a nice start to a feature, but need expanded upon to be fully useful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps with the management of our project and tasks
Smooth Task Transition, Needs Better Terminology
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Asana's user experience and the overall feel of the platform. The ability to switch between tasks feels very smooth and efficient compared to other tools I've used, allowing me to jump between projects and tasks seamlessly. I love how it allows me to add tasks to projects, create dependencies, and make them visible. This feature is integral to my daily activities, enhancing my productivity by saving time and reducing the number of clicks needed to manage tasks effectively. The immediacy of transitions within Asana not only saves time but also contributes to a pleasant work experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like the terminology in Asana being too rigid. For instance, the term 'Project' is not always appropriate as sometimes I use it just as 'Boards'. Additionally, I find the Goals feature not particularly intuitive. It lacks the cohesive feel of the rest of the Asana experience and does not link to tasks very well. Furthermore, when using Asana in conjunction with Miro, I experience the integration to be very slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to structure topics for meetings and track action items efficiently, facilitating smooth transitions between tasks and projects, enhancing my productivity.
Great Task Organizer with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
An ultimate task and project organizer, with set of attributes and manageable ownership that make it easy to take up by any kind of team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some UI is counterintuitive and some updates hide things and/or limit previous features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track with the team our deadlines and projects' completeness.
