Asana Reviews & Product Details

I like that you are able to track your tasks and due dates. I really like that you are able to prioritize and categorize your projects. I've been using the categories to manage potential vendors for a health fair and set them in order of importance to make sure that certain categories are represented.

I find the learning curve with Asana a bit challenging. Some people took to it right away, but others, including myself, are taking a little bit longer to get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it helps me with my everyday tasks. within an hour of the start of the day i've finished everything i had to do. i use the free plan so i do not get all the extra features but it is still a good one. i share the tasks my employees have to do with assigning them to each one of them. performance is great, it doesn't take any time loading all of the tasks. i have not yet needed to contact the support. the ui is very friendly, you get used to it the first day of using it. i have used it along with google drive and slack and it suit me great.

maybe if it had a step breakdown for each task instead of a plain description Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Asana is how it brings structure and clarity to managing tasks and projects without making things feel complicated. The platform makes it easy to organize workflows, assign responsibilities, and track progress in real time. I especially appreciate how everything stays centralized, which reduces the need to switch between different tools. The interface is user-friendly, and once you get used to it, it becomes a reliable system for maintaining consistency and keeping work aligned across different priorities.

Although Asana is highly functional, there are moments where the platform can feel slightly complex, especially when dealing with more advanced features or setting up detailed workflows. It may take some time to fully understand all the customization options available. In some cases, certain tasks require multiple steps to complete, which can slow down the process a bit. While these challenges are manageable, simplifying these aspects would make the overall experience even more efficient and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Asana is very intuitive, and it makes it easy to manage tasks, timelines, and dependencies across teams. The different views—list, board, and timeline—add flexibility depending on how people prefer to work, while also providing clear visibility into ownership and progress. I find it especially helpful for keeping complex projects organised, aligned, and on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features—especially reporting and automation—are only available on the higher pricing tiers. On larger or more complex projects, the setup can start to feel busy if it isn’t well structured, and notifications can quickly become overwhelming if teams aren’t disciplined about task updates and comments.

It’s an all-in-one task management and calendar tool. It lets me delegate tasks to my team while also keeping track of performance, staying on top of what’s being done, and using the calendar as a way to plan our content. Iy also integrates with your Google calendar which I absolutely love! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that the pricing is per seat/user rather than an all-in cost. I also believe the onboarding process can be a bit more in-depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Running a small business means wearing every hat imaginable, and Asana helps make that manageable. It’s intuitive and cuts down the mental overhead that comes with project management. The dependent task feature—especially when it’s tied to timelines or milestones—has been a real game-changer for me in staying on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that really bugs me about Asana is having to manually collapse tasks all the time. I’ll hover over a task, it opens automatically, and then I have to go back and close it myself. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but it’s pretty annoying and adds unnecessary friction to what would otherwise be a seamless UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Asana because it makes it easier to manage tasks and add collaborators. It facilitates task management in a more organized way and allows me to create sub-tasks, which help my manager understand the complexity of some tasks. I appreciate the fact that Asana also integrates with email, making it easier to create tasks without having to copy and paste. Furthermore, the integration with artificial intelligence, like the cloud, helps a lot. I appreciate the ability to create projects and share them with other teams. It helps me reduce the time spent creating tasks thanks to the integration with Outlook, allowing me to create tasks directly on Asana. The integration with artificial intelligence also makes it easier for me to summarize directly what I've done on Asana without having to worry too much about what to put in the description or comment. I find that the initial setup of Asana was quite fast and without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, I find it more useful to use the web version of ASANA, because the app often crashes and I am forced to close it. Furthermore, I find it limiting that I cannot add filters beyond those already present by default. For example, I cannot filter tasks based on collaborators.

Clear task ownership: every task can have one owner, so responsibility is obvious.

Good visibility: projects, sections, timelines, and boards make work easy to track.

Strong collaboration: comments, attachments, mentions, and status updates stay in one place.

Flexible views: list, board, timeline, and calendar support different working styles.

Subtasks and dependencies: useful for breaking work down and showing what blocks what.

Good for cross-team coordination: marketing, ops, product, and IT can work in the same system.

Automation: recurring tasks, rules, and notifications reduce manual follow-up.

Portfolio and reporting features: helpful for managers tracking multiple projects.

Integrations: works with Slack, Teams, Google Drive, Outlook, and many other tools.

Clean interface: easier adoption compared with heavier project management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can become messy fast if teams do not follow standards.

Reporting is decent, but not always deep enough for advanced analytics.

Complex projects can feel harder to model than in Jira or MS Project.

Dependency and timeline features are useful, but not always enough for heavy project management.

Too many notifications can create noise.

Subtasks and task relationships can become confusing in large projects.

Limited native support for very technical workflows like code/release management.

Automation is useful, but more advanced logic may need paid plans or external tools.

Permissions and governance can feel limited in some scenarios.

Users may treat it like a chat tool and avoid keeping fields structured.

Search is helpful, but finding the exact thing is not always perfect in large workspaces.

Pricing can become significant as the team grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
