Its user-friendly interface, ability to manage multiple projects, and collaboration and communication tools. The platform offers a variety of customization options, including the ability to create templates, set up custom fields, and automate tasks, which can help teams save time and improve productivity. Additionally, Asana offers integrations with many other popular tools, such as Slack, Google Drive, and Dropbox, which can further streamline workflows and improve team communication.

One of the main drawbacks of Asana is the limited functionality of the free version. While it's great that the platform offers a free option, the limitations of this version can be frustrating for teams that need more advanced features. For example, the free version only allows for a limited number of projects and team members, which can be a problem for larger teams or those with more complex projects.
Another issue with Asana is the somewhat steep learning curve. While the platform is generally easy to use, some users may initially find it overwhelming. The platform offers many features and options, making it difficult to know where to start. Additionally, some users may find the interface a bit cluttered and confusing.

It helps in automating many things and the interface is very userfriendly. Like this we safe a lot of time.
Integration and connection to other softwares is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Paying for another software and managing it, is sometimes not very good. We often ask ourself if it is needed to keep asana or if we could just build these things ourself.
I think for asana it is crucial to either work on features that make it irreplaceable or to work on the connection to other softwares and take over a crucial step which the others can't cover.
Also just more features are often not helpful, since many customers probably don't use many of them - just more features won't help them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how Asana clearly organizes all of the tasks and projects that I am currently working on for my clients and for my personal use. I use it every day, and since it integrates directly with email, tasks can be generated directly from the inbox. Asana is so easy to use, and I have found that if tasks do not make it into Asana, they do not get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If it does not already exist, I would like to be able to generate tasks by sending or forwarding a text message similar to how emailing the x email address generates a task. I would also like to see the ability to add an automatic rolling due date to tasks so that tasks left incomplete by the end of the work day automatically roll into the next day if you set the due dats as such.

The basic features are simple and that's key to getting staff to buy-in to a tool like this. It's easy to understand and creates clarity across team members on what they should be working on. Support is great as there are a number of trainings, live workshops and more you can participate in. We use it daily for all of our non-profit work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They add new functionality frequently (which is good) but the overall simplicity gets more convoluted once you start taking advantage of more features. I liked Asana when it was pretty barebones because of its simplicity and depending on the technical aptitude of your users, some may struggle. We've also become a little overzealous at times with adding too much into Asana and making it difficult to use but that is our own undoing and no fault of the tool.

Asana is the most efficient way to delegate and organize work tasks for small businesses. It allows for different types of projects and departments to work and monitor the work that is being done. Asana was also easy to use once we began its use years ago. I like the consistency that using Asana provides regarding discussing projects and goals for management meetings and there has been a considerable improvement in many areas of our company's efficiency due to Asana.

The downsides of using Asana is the difficulty of relocating and finding certain tasks once they are deleted. It would also be great to have a large range of color palettes to choose from regarding the type of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Asana is a lifesaver for me! I have so many things going on: my own business (membership site, blog, social
media, YouTube channel). I also help to run a kids football club and am in the midst of home renovations and planning major trips abroad. Asana helps me organise every element of my life so no task (however small) is ever forgotten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I often tell Siri to add a task to asana while in the car. As I can’t assign a date I tend to check recent tasks and forget about it! Can Siri learn to add a date for the task too?
I use the My Tasks > List view every day, but it’s frustrating that the tasks within sections aren’t in chronological order by time of day they need completing. it would be great to sort these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Extremely easy to integrate into what software we are already using. It makes a seamless tool to bring all of our software together. It creates efficiencies and allows me to see all of my teams tasks in one place. Our efficiency is through the roof and it helps relieve my teams stress and anxiety around complex projects. We use it every day and it couldn't be much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the functions could use a more obvious menu scheme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Asana is amazing at keeping me organized with all of my clients. I love that I can set up recurring tasks, at the intervals that I need, to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. As my business grew, I knew I couldn't keep it all straight in my head. There was a slight learning curve, as with all softwares you aren't familiar with, but once you learn it, it is so user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really are no downsides to Asana. The only thing I would recommend to others is to get it and learn it BEFORE you need it. This gives you time to learn it and work with it before you are overwhelmed with other things. Once you get the hang of it, you will LOVE it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Asana has made it a lot easier to empower our team and eliminate the need for as much time spent on project management and planning throughout the organisation.
The team features are really great for empowering each of our departments to run their own internal projects how they want which helped for buy in as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My main concerns are a lot of the best templating features are locked into the enterprise version, which does restrict the flexibility somewhat for our purposes. You’re also forced to pay for seats in sets of 5, and of course my team in 1 seat too many, so we pay for 4 seats we don’t use which sucks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Developing process process and workflow and communicating with others so that everyone of the team has a visibility and transparency into what's going on. You don't need to hack into somebody's email or their slack account to learn about information while they might be off sick or something like that you could just easily assign it to somebody else and move on.

I wish that Asana had a better ability to track financials. It's certainly not meant to do that, but it does it to a certain point. It would be great if it could do it more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its easy to use, and has a super friendly interface. Most importantly, you have really decent features even on the free version which means you can use it at work, and also switch to using it personally. The support from customer service has also been great and easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The rules and automations can feel super complex. I had to do workflow training and watch lots of videos to even understand the basic level of automations. I wish that was a lot simpler, as it would a persons confidence in using the tool a lot quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
