Seamless organization
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you are able to link directly to documents in Google Drive since all of our previous project management was done using Google Sheets. I also love that everything is in one place rather than hundreds of different spreadsheets. Finally, it is awesome that tasks can live in more than one project and projects can live in more than one portfolio. Oh, and I also like the live webinars and the asynchronous training. I use Asana every day to organize not only my work tasks, but my life tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure I dislike anything. I just need to learn more about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of projects that are multi-faceted that different departments and owners contribute to, that all lead up to a larger project. The portfolio feature on Asana is very useful for us.
Clean interface and easy to understand and navigate
What do you like best about the product?
It feels intuitive and the short cut support is very good and mostly makes sense. Easy to teach and learn as such, and generally simple when trying to structure projects and tasks in a way that makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel hard to adapt the organization of project lists and task lists in a way that would be easier to visualize and conceptualize, like if scope creep occurs lists can get long and overwhelming and reorganizing can be tedious or a bit time-consuming.
Can take time to get used to and create a habit of filling in fields (which can be customizable) but requires users to definitely put in full effort and not slack on filling in parts of task/project items

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an IT Support tech:
- Keeps track of all tasks when onboarding users and deploying computers to users, documentation
- Simplifies asks from manager and project managers so that they're broken into tasks
- Tracks and notifies of deadlines or completion of specific items by others
- One-stop shop for all projects, somewhat easy to see overall view of what the team is trying to achieve in a sprint

Easy and Effective

The platform is very easy to use, responsive kanban board, customisable type of task, email reminders for every update in the task you ever been assigned.

Somtimes the app takes time to load on the web initially
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In every scrum and we used to update the task, set each and every detail to track the progress.
An Accessible, Flexible and Powerful Workload Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
We recently consolidated several Asana instances into one enterprise-level account. This has made things much easier to manage from a user and licensing perspective and also opened up some collaboration opportunities across my teams (i.e. - one of our teams has been using third party automation software to automate repetitive tasks across their systems. We're now learning about this for possible expansion.)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a dedicated page to provide status updates for projects. By default, it provides two fields to populate but we also add two of our own. These fields have to be manually added before the first project update for each project but then appear for future updates. I'd really like to be able to save a Project Status Update template that could automatically be used for every project.
The account consolidation process was painful. Several teams had Admin spaces with separated team members that got merged into the new instance. Since the old separate Admin portals were shut down, we had no way to fully remove them from the old teams without going through support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is able to accomplish a disproportionately high amount of project activity relative to our size. However, we needed a way to better organize, manage and gain visibility into our various projects. Asana quickly and effectively replaced our previous solution and also increased the engagement of our users.

Good enough project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives us flexibility in how we manage work. We can switch between list and board views depending on what makes sense for the team or the type of work. The automations are handy, we’ve set up rules that take care of a lot of repetitive stuff, which saves time. It’s also pretty easy to onboard people since the interface is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Automations are fairly limited and you depend on 3rd party tools to do more. Migrating from other project management tools is not as easy for people to get used to, and the UI feels more bloated than other tools. In a list view, pressing enter creates a new task, which is annoying when you only want to edit the name of the task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General kanban/scrum/sprints/project management.
