Easy to Use, Preferred Over Jira but Pricey
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use that Asana offers, making it simple to set up boards and manage projects. I really appreciate the ability to switch between swimlanes and timelines, which suits various project needs. The integration with Miro is incredibly valuable, allowing seamless movement between mapping and creating projects. Additionally, Asana provides me a snapshot of my team's capacity and workload, helping me understand their daily tasks and deadlines. Compared to Jira, Asana's streamlined project management strongly appeals to me as a designer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the pricing model of Asana too expensive for my company's current needs. Additionally, I wish Asana could integrate with our proprietary meeting management tool to avoid redundancy in adding team tasks to both platforms.

I find Asana provides a snapshot of my team's capacity and deadlines, simplifying day-to-day work management. It offers ease of use, facilitates project management, and seamlessly integrates with tools, enhancing team accountability and efficiency.
Asana Has Streamlined My Day to Day Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
I like Asana as it is a great tool to use for collaboration. As a nonprofit marketing professional at a mid-sized school, it helps us coordinate projects between many different departments. I use it daily and couldn't live without it. It was easy to implement and integrate into our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve to starting up with the software, but once you get the hang of it Asana becomes second nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us complete projects on budget and on time through the scheduling function. Sub tasks help keep us focused and on task. The calendar funciton helps us prevent double booking publication dates for promotions with other departments. It's a project management super tool.

I am new to Asana
What do you like best about the product?
I am spending time learning it so I can lead high level projects in my organisation- the training and templates offered are very extensive. I am confident it will help me with my work and keep on track and allow me to visually communicate progress with management
What do you dislike about the product?
lots to learn when setting it up, I am not 100% sure it will meet my needs... it would be good to talk it through when someone while I am in the planning phase
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping a large team on track with implementing a strategic plan
An enthusiastic endorsement of Asana from a project manager.
What do you like best about the product?
I've found Asana to be an invaluable tool for our team. It has completely transformed the way we manage project workflows and track progress. The platform's intuitive interface makes it easy for everyone—from project leads to team members—to collaborate seamlessly. We now have a single, transparent source of truth for all our projects, which has drastically reduced miscommunication and missed deadlines. The ability to customize views, automate routine tasks, and generate insightful reports has significantly boosted our efficiency and accountability. Asana has become a cornerstone of our project operations, helping us deliver high-quality results to our clients more reliably than ever before. It's a must-have for any team serious about improving their project management processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of a real-time, in-app support assistant to navigate the sometimes overwhelming platform especially for new users. Also, while the app is highly adaptable, it's not possible to add completely new, custom features not already available, which can be a small limitation for teams with highly unique operational needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana centralizes communication, tasks, and progress, which benefits the team by drastically reducing miscommunication and preventing missed deadlines. Also, by having everything in one place, it's easy for the manager and the team to see who is responsible for what. This transparency ensures that team members are held accountable for their work, leading to more reliable, high-quality results for clients.
Asana is the way to go
What do you like best about the product?
I haven't seen a better app than Asana for project management. I have used it for two years and I can't find anything better to organize my workflow and manage my projects
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer service could be more approachable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a manager, there is a real need to manage tasks and workflow of my team. Asana has been there to the rescue. I love the way it helps organize the tasks and streamline workflows.
I am still in the process of learning Asana to the fullest, but already love the tools I see.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the intentionality of the tools. You can tell lots of thought have been put into each aspect of the application.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is pretty cumbersome to start. The training videos are helpful, but it takes a lot of time to actually get to a point where you feel like you can use it effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves collaborative project confusion. It allows us to work together more smoothly.
An exceptional and completely malleable platform to fit whatever type of organization need you have!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's layout is highly engaging and interactive with many features such as automations, fields that populate directly into your project from created request forms, and an insane amount of reporting ability at multiple levels of a workflow. It also integrates with a TON of outside platforms that companies utilize on a regular basis, allowing everything to flow into one place for your various teams and clients. Once you go through the trainings and get the hang of it, I think it's very easy to implement into our workflow! I use it every day, multiple times a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jumping into the platform, some of it is very intuitive and some of it isn't. When you try to automate, and things go wonky... it can be very confusing. BUT- that said, Asana has some of the best FREE trainings I've ever seen in other platforms. They do live trainings that you can schedule around your workday as well as numerous video recordings and even a CERTIFICATION PROGRAM!!!! I feel like this more than makes up from any difficulty learning the platform. (I should have started there first.) :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our boutique digital marketing agency is scaling up and growing quickly. We needed strong organization and centralization for multiple team's workflows and communication. Asana is the perfect fit! We are rolling it out company-wide and are excited for where Asana will help us grow in the future.
Lots of great features, and also lots of frustrations
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the fact that I am basically building my templates from the ground up. The best thing for my team is the various ways that someone can sort or view their assignments, since everyone wants to see their to-dos in a different way
What do you dislike about the product?
There are several features that seem like no-brainers, yet they are not included. I have even looked up most, if not all, of these features and found online forums dating multiple years back asking for these features, and absolutely no response:
1. cannot duplicate templates
2. Cannot change due date or assignees after you create the original project
3. It would be great to be able to create a "customized" home page for my entire team. ie, just a place where I can put my "asana how-tos" for them to easily find.
4. cannot add a "notes" document to a template
5. to-dos still showing up for people even if we archive a project
6. sub-tasks are INCREDIBLY CLUNKY to add to a template
7. Why can't portfolios be part of projects? This is a major one for our team.
8. "Notes" documents have very few formatting options (different colors, highlights), making it hard to identify important information beyond just bolding it
9. I'm confused as to how I can get help if I can't figure out how to implement something. Do I write my sales rep? once they pointed me to external asana consultants that I would have to pay extra????

organized to-do lists that can live as "sources of truth." ability to sort, filter, and view to-dos in a variety of ways to meet a variety of preferences
