Easy to Use with a Friendly Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to use, with a friendly learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes certain features are behind a paywall, and it can take the organization some time to catch up and follow through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, workload sharing, accountability, and traceability across projects and tasks.
Powerful Automations, UI Improvable
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana helps me have a clearer and more visual control of my activities. It sends me reminders of deadlines and allows me to automate my workflow. Additionally, I can send notices to my superiors, complete repetitive tasks faster, move tasks between different sections, and organize myself with the board view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that you could polish your UI, as sometimes I find it difficult to interact with certain menus. It seems very oriented towards point & click use. Also, understanding the use of AI was a bit challenging for me. Perhaps accessing AI functions or when automating shouldn't be hidden. They could be more visual from the task section and the AI could provide me with useful information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to organize myself better, manage more than 20 campaigns at once, visualize my activities, receive deadline reminders, and automate my workflow, which makes it easier to handle repetitive tasks and notify my superiors.
Flexible Recurring Tasks and Reminders Make Asana a Strong Productivity Hub
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to set flexibly recurring tasks, to set reminders for further out future dates, to keep track of delegated tasks, to add subtasks to note when action has been taken, even if the original item isn't yet done. I like being able to add tasks by email (though I wish there was a way to set a deadline via email). Access via browser or mobile device. Comparative easy for learning basic functionality for new users. Views for more visual people vs. more list or data-oriented users.
What do you dislike about the product?
As you have added more functionality, it's become harder, more burdensome, to try to figure out how to best use Asana for my purpose. Id like more bite-sized training or examples, I'd like data sets I could play with to see if those formats would work with my data. I'd like a better sense of how to modify my data/format if I get started and then find it's not in the optimal format. As mentioned, I'd like tasks created from an email to have an owner assignment and due date (sending the task to myself creates another email). We're trying to test out setting up templates for projects that repeat themselves (e.g., all the steps before, during, and after hosting a webinar)... I'm not sure we've figured out the best ways to do this. I wonder about how we'll capture learnings from actual use to apply them back to our template and to activities based on the templates. I'm concerned that we'll create a monster... or require someone to be the manager of all the tasks and activities... rather than having each team member be reasonably self-sufficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handoffs and complexity of how many people are contributing to a project are killing us! Having someone see that a task is assigned to another team member... that both see/know that task is being held. People forgetting to ask for inputs in a timely manner, or asking without providing all the necessary details. We are early in the process of trying to solve this. We're at the stage where lack of systems is so burdensome that it's hard to build the systems.
Streamlined Communication, Needs Better Notification System
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easy it is to use Asana. It's quick and simple. The templates are really easy and well put together, which works really well for how we use it. Setting it up was super easy too, we just got everyone an account signed in and we were off to the races.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I don't think Asana notifies clients when a task needs to be reviewed. I would appreciate not having to constantly tag our clients to get approval. I wish there was a better way to do that. Also, using Asana with Slack can be super annoying because I don't like having three notifications go off at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to help organize my business and ensure everyone stays on task. It solves communication problems, making sure client projects and tasks are done on time.
Easy to Use with Handy Templates, Task Copying, and a Promising New AI Feature
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and ability to copy tasks and projects, as well as creating templates, and the new AI feature that just launched.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding new tasks and the clunkiness of having to either make private or public, especially for large quantities on an individual basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps keep me organized and not allow things to slip through the cracks.
Highly Customizable to Fit Different Team Needs
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of ways to customize it based on what you need and what works best for different people on your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel complicated and overwhelming when you’re first getting started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us keep track of our projects and also serves as a reliable historical record we can refer back to.
Streamlined Project Management with Excellent Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to forward Slack and email messages from my coworkers to my Asana board. We also autoforward emails from our shared inbox to an Asana board. From there, we figure out whose job it is to pick up that email. It allows us to cut down response time by allowing us to immediately identify which member of our team ought to pick up the email in question. The initial setup of Asana was easy breezy, with no big issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Asana workflows had the option to add a delay step (i.e., when a task is added, wait 5 minutes, and then run Asana AI step). That way, the Asana AI steps don't run so prematurely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us manage our project pipeline, stay on top of tasks, and ensures visibility on deadlines, reducing communication errors. It supports swift email response by clearly assigning tasks, improving efficiency.
Great tool for teams and individuals to plan and track progress smoothly.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana let's us organize as a team, but sharing tasks between projects gives individuals the ability to customize their own system. Also, linking documents to tasks helps streamline communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
None of the challenges are specific to Asana. We just need to take time to learn all of the features and commit to the tool as a team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows us to manage our work collaboratively with real-time communication and check-ins.
Asana is the best place for tactical planning and progress tracking
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform to:
1. Configure projects for either agile or cascade or mixed approaches.
2. Setup workflows and automations for tracking progress.
3. Create automated visual reports and metrics to track progress on all fronts.
Is a All-In-One solution for project management.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could export the entire dashboard with all the graphs and numerical charts I created instead of exporting one image at the time. And This export should come with issue date because these are actual reports we present to CXOs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides not me but the company with all the possible ways for us to manage Product Life Cycle and Projects Life Cycle because it let us configure almost any possible structure and processes so:
1. Planning
2. Progress tracking.
3. Reporting.

Sublime UX, Smooth Integrations, and Powerful AI Features
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love their UX. Everything is so clean and smooth, easy to use and learn. It has many integrations with our tech stack so I could easily sync things with Google and Slack. I never had any issues with the platform performance or the support team, and their assistant chat agent is great for questions and doubts. I'ev used many of their AI features as well, specially for Project summaries, updates, goals, suggested workflows.. and I think it's just SUBLIME
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside it's that it's somehow more expensive than some of it's competitors, so my company decided to keep JIRA for project tracking rather than Asana - Believe me.. I cried when this happened!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything! Project tracking, goal tracking, automatic updates and reports for managers, automated workflows to save manual time.
