Asana: Collaboration at Your Fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
It has many features to appeal to those who want detailed ways of working on tasks and tracking progress, while also being intuitive enough for those who only want to add tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish some features like portfolios had the option to have a free version of them. Like 2 portfolios or 2 goals to track free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team move from working in silos where tasks and projects are managed in individual docs, to collaborating together to accomplish an initiative or project in a more visible way.
My Experience with Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to organize my hours so that I can hold myself accountable to the projects that I have started and to ensure I am not working more than my 40 hours each week (unless the week calls for it). As a nonprofit, we do not often provide overtime payments to employees and since we have so many events I like to be able to track the amount of work I've done each week and Asana makes it easy to do this. It also makes it easy for me to create reports for my recurring work tasks so when my mid-year reviews role around I don't have to spend hours thinking about what work I've done over the last 6 months, I can just hit a few buttons and pull it up! Another thing that I love about Asana is how compatible it is with our automation software. We have linked Asana to platforms like N8N to autopopulate Asana tasks based off responses in a Google form. This streamlines our work exponentially.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rules are so difficult for me to understand / implement. My supervisor set up Asana project boards for us with pre-set rules but when I try to make my own boards I am unable to replicate these rules. I will say I have no sought out any training BUT I am tech-savvy and the rules interface is not user-friendly. The "AI Assistance" in the rules interface is useless as well - every time I try to utilize it the AI never can help and it just wastes my time. I am also not the biggest fan of the new update that altered the way that you manually enter time to tasks. It is not a problem if its a task that you work on in one sitting, but for tasks that you work on little-by-little throughout the week it can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an office we did not have a good system for tracking our hours, managing projects, or collaborating asynchronously - Asana has helped solve these problems. We have a flexible work environment where we often have people working from home, working in another part of the building, or off-site with a partner. It can be difficult to get an update on someone's progress if you are waiting for them to answer their email but when you have the ability to view their work tracker and see how many of their "action items" have been completed, it takes out the need to be in constant communication.
Efficient & practical for all team sizes!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Asana for nearly 4 years in various roles. My teams use Asana daily to manage our projects. The ease of integrating the tool in our day to day work has been straightforward. I like how the tool can be useful and effortless no matter the role and environment. Installing Asana and getting set up was quite simple. Whenever I've had questions or concerns I could contact customer support for assistance. I also was able to do a quick search to find a solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be helpful if there was an easier way to link Asana to other platforms and be more aesthetically appealing. Specifically, I am thinking about attaching documents to tasks in Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We all work remotely so Asana is solving several problems for us including - communication, organization, project management, task assignment, etc. This is benefiting my team because we don't constantly need to be on meetings, calls, emails in order to know what is going on with a task or project.
Asana is a Phenomenal Product
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does a great job with their underlying data structure. Allowing a many-to-one relationship between different objects helps make it very easy to cross-collaborate, track, and manage various tasks for different projects with concurrent or overlapping work.
Having the ability to create projects that can be duplicated has helped out team tremendously for being able to track similar customer-facing projects that have different implementation flavors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Subtasks are unfortunately treated as a forced bundle that requires the user to think more than they have to about what belongs as a task or a subtask.
Adding a task to 2 projects means that inherently ALL subtasks are required to come along with it. Similarly, filters on projects only apply to metadata at the task level, and cannot be used to filter out subtasks that fail to meet the specified criteria.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is allowing our team to create multiple flavors of our implementation strategy, which means we can have a project act as our single source of truth for all implementation tasks that can exist across all flavors of implementation. We can then create different projects that make use of these shared tasks so that the project can be duplicated for a given partner project.
This allows for us to have an easy one stop shop for updating a task that then cascades to all shared projects. It is also beneficial that the duplicate projects are disconnected and not linked to the source tasks, since this allows for individual customer projects to be tracked independently with no need for shared tasks.

5 Stars
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great integrated workflow system to help organise workflow through teams, I like how you can personalise your own project space and add teams to collaborate or set certain tasks,
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot to learn about Asana, so a lot of training and onboarding is needed in order to understand all the different uses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is benefitting the workflow system but helping organise workflow and assign jobs from a design perspective.
Complex Yet Comprehensive for Growing Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Asana consolidates all my processes into one system, which helps me organize everything efficiently. I also find the project boards, templates, and AI rules incredibly helpful for managing tasks. The ability to track workload and team capacity is particularly beneficial for our growing creative studio.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana feels unnecessarily complex for a small business like mine. I had to hire a project manager just to get it set up, and even then, it felt like dealing with complicated Excel formulas. I manage operations and finance solo, so I need tools that are efficient and intuitive.
It sits awkwardly between something too simple like Trello and something overly complex for our needs. The $3,000 annual price tag is hard to justify — I wish there were a more affordable plan for startups or smaller teams.
Contractor access is also limited — they should be able to input and track hours, not just view tasks. I spent time setting up workload and portfolio features, but they didn’t work as expected and felt overly complicated.

Streamlined Project Management, Needs More Intuitive Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the helpfulness of Asana boards in keeping the entire project in one space. I find it really beneficial to have all my tasks in one spot, making it easier to check what's on the docket for the day. I also find the task functionality vital for moving projects through different stages effectively. Additionally, Asana assists in organizing what needs to be accomplished in each project, which is particularly crucial for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not find Asana's "best use" very intuitive in setting up projects, particularly when deciding between using tasks versus subtasks etc. Setting up the system can be quite a challenging task. Despite having used Asana before, where the system was already set up and just required me to navigate it, setting it up myself proved to be significantly harder. Additionally, it takes longer than I would like to input a task into the system, which could be partly due to user error as I'm still in the learning phase. Any form of simplification in this process would be greatly beneficial. Furthermore, while I see potential in integrating Asana with other tools, like the Google Suite and Slack that we already use, we haven't gotten around to it yet. One major feature I would love to see is the ability to create tasks via voice memo, which would enhance its functionality and my productivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Asana helpful in keeping all my tasks in one spot, streamlining project management, and moving tasks through project stages. It aids in organizing thoughts on what needs to be done, especially with minimal record-keeping and template use.
organize my tasks
What do you like best about the product?
it helps me keep my tasks at hand so I can know what I have to do and what I have done already
What do you dislike about the product?
I havent really seen anything bad or that I would dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks organization, the benefits are time management and task prioritazion
Great project management features; severely lacking on organizational management admin features
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple ways to create and organize projects and associate and assign tasks to others on your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Admin options and features are severely lacking and very confusing. Asana needs to provide features that allow single organizational admins to access and modify divisional billing and ownership aspects. Currently have to do this via support tickets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have a flexible project planning tool before, so this allows the entire organization to use a single tool and collaborate more effectively.
