What do you like best about Asana?

I love how organized Asana is, and how well it allows us to keep track of each step of the process for all of our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Honestly, there are very few downsides for me. Sometimes I wish there were ways to shift entire groups of tasks or subtasks into another task, but that functionality may exist and I just am not aware? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana keeps all of our tasks, deadlines, and details in one place. That benefits us as team members are often in and out of meetings all day, so this allows us to stay in touch and on task and clear about everything we need to know and do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is fantastic for being quick to learn, easy to implement, and endlessly adaptable to suit varied team and/ or project needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

There's not much to dislike about Asana! Mainly just learning to click out of an active "cell" more carefully to deactivate it, so as not to accidentally take action by clicking on something else on the screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

The client success team at my company mainly uses Asana to manage client-based projects, so I have recently joined many of these to own tasks assigned to me as I've begun working more closely with this team. Because the members of our client success team are key stakeholders in a suite of new product features I am owning as product manager, I have also set up a product management portfolio, with a few separate related projects. All of this has been incredibly helpful to ensure all teams have visibility into the information they need, in a way that's accessible based on their separate schedules.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Asana?

I like that every member of our company can communicate about what we have going on, despite all of us working remotely. Each team member logs on everyday to check what we need to be doing and how it is going across the company. It is a great place to centralize our projects, ask questions, and make comments on the work we are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

We are a very small non-profit company. I wish that we could afford some of the bells and whistles in the larger packages, but I am happy with what we do have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company is able to stay in constant communication about the projects we are working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

I love so much about Asana. I love the various formats for each project. I love the collaboration it inspires. I love the ability to create templates, recurring tasks, and automated rules. I love the colors, the integrations with other software, and nearly everything! I use this every single day to accomplish so much. It's easy to put into practice and incorporate into our workflows as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I don't see a lot of downsides to Asana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaboration was a nightmare before Asana. It's so easy for the right people to be looped in on each project and gives us a record of past projects for future implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

I like the different features that interact with each other. I've used other programs such as Airtable and Notion but am drawn to Asana specifically for project work in collaborative settings due to its ease of implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Features that I use less are often due to a learning gap. I wish there were more learning capabilities such as live Zoom sessions to learn about each product update or free trainings from other users in my field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Often I have trouble tracking which projects require higher level touch points. With Asana I no longer have to guess priorities and am able to share notes or comments with my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

I tested out a handful of competitors but non were as simple and as intuitive as Asana - I love how the subtasks neatly nest inside tasks which makes it easy to organize and find things again down the road. I was able to quickly onboard even the least tech-savvy team members with ease, which is a testament to the well-thought-out interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

They are NOT clear in what constitutes a free contributor. It is only after you are neck deep in projects and your trial runs out that the harrassment begins to "upgrade seats" - EVERY SINGLE PERSON in your organization that is ever tagged in a task will require a paid seat. There are no free contributors except for people outside your organization that might need to see something. Customer service was terrible and probably a bot most of the time and it took 2 weeks of emailing back and forth (phone calls were requested but never granted) to even come to finally understand that there is no way to upgrade SOME of your organization and leave the rest free. Zero flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana helps us keep work requests out of our email and keep all the needed assets and approvals easy to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is easy to use, powerful, and flexible. The one to many relationship you can have between tasks and projects is an actual game changer in how you track work, and keep it visible between people and teams. The workflow editor is another very powerful feature, and I would argue the best of all of the work management tools. The Asana AI features are also crazy powerful when used correctly. They also have a ton of out of the box integrations that make it easy to connect other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I dont have any specific dislikes about Asana as a product. The bigger hurdle to jump with a tool like this is internal adoption and consistent use of a product. Asana's professional services team is great, and very helpful at user adoption training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall work management is tough in any organization, and for ours, its allowing us to have a single place to track work, report on task status, and allowing teams to collaborate easily across departments. The workflow feature allows work to seamlessly move between departments, where otherwise, it required instant messages and emails to communicate about tasks. Now its all automatic.

What do you like best about Asana?

1) Enable the possibilty to have a task which can assigned to differnet projects so that different groups of people can also see the same tasks in their own project.

2) Sub-tasks function with owner and due date

3) Clear Inbox to view all the updates/message. You can dimiss those message that you handled and read. You won't miss any information even you are busy in managing other works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Cannot do the conditional formatting for the tasks under my own rule. e.g. if the task was late, then I may want to highlight the due date in big red background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Same tasks to be viewed by different projects. I have my own team to discuss this topic, setting the actions and owner. Meanwhile, same topic will be interested to be shared with different teams or even upper management, then I don't need to create another tasks and repeat all the information again to others. I just need to add this task to another project(s).

2) Setting sub-tasks and owners. This can help the team to know what exactly the steps for different team members to work on this main task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

I've been using Asana now for several years, and its my go-to for just about everything. In the professional world, Asana is an essential tool for us to manage our team workflow. As a marketing department in a very bustling industry, we're constantly battling between short-form urgent deadlines, longer-form deadlines with intentional planning, and administrative back-end to-do's that just pile up. I appreciate Asana's ability to track and measure my team's time and display workload in calendar view. Utilizing both automatic work flows and tasks, as well as the plug-ins (teams, word etc). it makes staying on top of task tracking much more digestible, rather than creating another thing to do. The team appreciates (and my leadership) a single source of truth for workload and quantifying achievements. Onboarding my team within the platform was quick, and it only took a couple of weeks before they were super users. We use Asana every single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Some plug-ins are less functional than others. Not being able to integrate Power BI without an enterprise plan is also dissapointing.

I do wish exporting the information out of Asana came with a greater range of options. However, overall these are minor tweaks that I anticipate will evolve over the platforms time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Task load and the variety and frequency of tasks and their deadlines. It keeps information organized, consistent, and in one place. It shows overlaps in workload and time for individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Asana?

Easy-to-use interface: Asana's interface is easy to use and intuitive, which makes navigating the platform and performing specific tasks easier. Wide variety of functionalities: you can create and assign tasks, monitor task progress, collaborate in teams, and communicate with team members, among other things. This makes it an extremely versatile and useful tool for a variety of project types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

What I find most difficult is being able to paste text into tasks, as it erases all the formatting and the text looks bad, which complicates things for me when I have tasks to copy and paste.

Personally, the way to delete tasks seems a bit tedious to me, since there are two buttons and it's not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us at work to maintain relationships with all the teams. Integrations are useful: Collaboration and team communication are further improved by integrating with a variety of other tools and platforms, such as Slack and Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
