Considered one of the pioneering cloud-based project management tools, Asana offers four views for its users – List View, Timeline, Calendar, and Boards – all of which help teams get both a macro and micro view of all the moving parts of projects and tasks. It provides a comprehensive roadmap of ongoing projects from start to finish, clearly outlining dependencies, project milestones, and feedback and approval processes. For project managers, strong reporting capabilities that show completion rates, individual workloads, and potential delays just to name a few create opportunities for real-time project optimization, collaboration, stronger forecasting, and better planning for future similar projects.

Asana helps me organize and visualize any sort of project that I may be working on. I love color coding, teams, report building, custom fields. Probably my favorite thing is my inbox - I couldn't get through a workday without it. And I love Asana Academy - I couldn't have learned the program so well nor have shared that knowledge with my team without it.
I wish that subtasks could be added to multiple projects. I feel that the reports feature could be better - it is difficult to pull a report from both tasks and subtasks and present it to my team in a way they understand. I have found every integration that I've used between Asana and other programs to be lacking, especially Slack and Outlook, and feel if more time were devoted there integrations could truly make work more efficient. I find messages within projects to be the most underutilized part of the program with every team I work with and think Asana could benefit greatly from an internal instant messaging system. A big hassle is that annually repeated tasks regularly repopulate to an incorrect date, which means all of these tasks need to be set to a new date manually. My team uses Asana so extensively that it's very easy to lose track of a task or comment that I'm not actively a part of - some kind of bookmarking feature would be very beneficial.
As far as benefits, I can't even count them. I'm amazed how much I can share with different people or teams across different projects. It makes it simple to bring in third parties who only need access to certain tasks. Asana has made our hiring process more streamlined, our Marketing more efficient, and Operations easier to track. Over the past two years my team has began preparing for all meetings in Asana and creating an agenda that anyone can add to has made meeting time the most productive it's ever been.
Easy to use as it has standar templates and can be manage from your computer, phone and tablet
Everyone in the company needs to have an account in Asana to be able to see the projects different from other tools that you have public views
Able to see the work the team has without micromanage them, manage their workload and reduce number of meetings.
I love being able to build quick project plans from templates and assign my teammates so everyone knows what they're responsible for. Celebrations in Asana make you excited to check things off and keep pushing for the finish line. Rules help automate the project management so I can spend more time finishing tasks and less time managing the project settings.
I do wish there were more rules and automations, though I know Asana is continuously improving and adding on. I also wish we could integrate Salesforce into Asana for automatic goal tracking. Aside from that, I LOVE everything about Asana.
We use Asana for everything from planning our annual 5K to planning out our IT infrastructure projects. Our marketing plans are moving forward as a result of all our projects and nested portfolios. We even plan our meeting agendas in Asana. Our donation revenue has grown increasingly over the last few years and Asana has played a big role in that through powering our productivity.
Asana has genuinely changed my work life. It is so helpful to begin my workday by bringing it up on my screen and referencing back to it throughout the day. It is like my virtual to-do list and helps me remember to do many tasks that would fall through the cracks as other things come up in my day. What I like best about Asana is how useful it is and a fantastic assistance for me to complete my tasks. There are many features, like adding due dates and the ability to sort my most pressing tasks to the top of the list. I am also able to make reoccurring tasks, and that has been extremely helpful.
There has not been anything that has come up yet that I have disliked about Asana.
I am solving many problems with Asana. I can remember tasks that are monthly, bi-annually, and annually because of the feature where I can set tasks to reoccurring. There are a lot of benefits to using Asana. Having to-do lists where I can constantly add more tasks, sort, and check them all off the list has been excellent.
Asana helps us to plan and plot the best route to meet the objectives in our projects. It is an all-in-one tool for orderly and efficient project management. It allows us to have at our disposal an environment that will enable us to fragment projects into more manageable parts, distribute work among group members and constantly track the progress of each project and more. I love everything about Asana, from the visual to the operational.
It lacks tools to make customizations within user profiles; also, its interface is a bit superficial; the above mentioned does not influence its exceptional operability; it has covered our communicative and collaborative needs in project management.
Currently, Asana plays a fundamental role in our project management. It allows us to improve our communication as a team and collaborate and move forward to complete our tasks and projects. It helps us to coordinate our work and keep all the information related to our projects within the same platform.
I love how versatile yet structured is for planning video shoots as well as general office and life admin and that I can get reminders and schedules through google calendar.
takes many clicks to schedule a task in order to populate google calendar
I use asana and the auto rescheduling to set up my daily routine and weekly schedule. Im hoping there is a way to transcribe tasks from audio via the apple watch
I love that it's a virtual check list that a bigger group and work together on. It's incredibly helpful to remain on track and consider everybody responsible! It's cutoff time work is critical, that way you can close the circle on any forthcoming tasks and guarantee fulfillment. The task include is extraordinary as well so there is clear assumptions set with regards to who is answerable for each undertakings.
So far, I can say that I love Asana, and it helps a lot to maintain our work especially for virtual team.
Due to Asana I was constantly able being organized as well as speaking with the group of mines daily, helping me to track and being my reminder to keep on track with my work, both on my private work and collaboration work
Asana has caused a positive factor in my work distribution; I can have many variants in terms of visualization, distribution, and information of the most advanced projects in the central information panel set. The price has been striking as the tools are exquisite at a low cost.
I should improve the support. I have had problems communicating with the experts to solve simple problems.
It has been fundamental in terms of the distribution of projects at a very excellent pace; we are always constantly updating the tasks, which allows us to have a very advanced program as far as organization is concerned.
I really appreciate how easy Asana makes it to communicate across different teams and stay on top of bugs with our app.
With several different boards for tasks, it can be difficult to keep track of what was posted where.
We have customers who find bugs with our app all of the time. This product allows us to make sure we address their product concern in an efficient and timely manner.
With the core focus of Asana being tasks, I easily plan and track progress to results. Everything I work on in Asana is related to getting a task: completed, modified, deleted. I like that all the features (advanced & basic) enhance what I can do to get a task done, and this is what makes it great to use Asana: that I don't get lost in overcomplicating project management, and I'm still able to categorize/group tasks, add tags, include links. Whatever Asana decides to add in the future I know it will stay true to completing tasks, so I'm confident it will continue to be a great product to get things done.
I don't dislike any of the Asana features. It is clear for me that this is a task management app, and that Asana's limitation is to keep the focus on getting tasks done.
I use Asana to let team members know what I'm working on and what I'll be working on in the next weeks. They do the same and that helps avoid extra messages on catching up... So we shift more on to conversations about how all tasks come together.
I love Asana and have recommended it to everyone I know. It's the best project management software I've found so far. It's such an easy way to communicate with team members and collaborate on different projects.
There isn't a whole lot that I dislike about Asana. Sometimes, notifications can get buried in the inbox, but that's really my only complaint. If you are receiving notification emails and checking your inbox frequently, it shouldn't be an issue.
My team uses Asana to solve many problems. We use it for our meeting agendas (team meetings, 1:1s, etc.), for creative requests, to outline upcoming projects, calendars for social, the list goes on and on. There are truly so many uses for Asana, and it is such a great way to stay organized.
Asana is very user-friendly and can be integrated with lots of different apps and sites. I mostly used it with slack, which was awesome. It's easy to get the hang of what you're doing from the get-go. The interface lets you see all of your projects at once, which I love.
I don't have any complaints about Asana; it was great to use when I was with a company with access to it.
It was great to use for both personal and professional project management. It's easy to assign tasks, check the status of things, and tag people when they need to see anything.
I love how intuitive the controls are and the modular interface. I also love the colorful animations.
I wish I were able to customize the colors and themes fully. I am also not a fan of the email which allows me to like a comment, because it does so by opening another window. I would it recognize the tab I have open or not offer that functionality at all - I don't need 15+ tabs open for the same app.
Great for project management - particularly handling multiple deadlines across several projects. There is also a great deal of transparency regarding ownership of each task.
I use this app with one of my clients, and it makes it so easy for him to assign tasks and for me to see everything that i need to do!!
There isn't anything that I dislike about the app! It is very user-friendly!!
Before Asana, my client would text me a list of to-dos, and I would often forget to write them down and then lose track of them. With Asana, I can check the app to see what needs to be done and communicate the progress of each task directly with him!
I like it since it's a perfect solution especially when it comes to task and projects management. It's also easy to use and user friendly. Also I like how it normally makes planning, tracking and task management to be more easier.
Honestly it's the best,I have no dislike towards it.
With it you can easily set up multiple projects and as well assign team to various projects at the same time.
I liked the simplicity, it covers the basic needs of your daily task management with your team.
There is absolutely nothing to dislike about it, however, it just gets logged out by itself, which gets annoying sometimes.
I am a Social Media Manager, so I need to assign tasks to my teammates a month prior and Asana helps me easily achieve it, I can upload the media and everything in a single place and set deadlines accordingly. No more use of E-mail.
Asana is one of these apps that takes 5 minutes to start with, hides complexity but for every feature you think "I wonder if it can do X", it always does.
The way it links domains and accounts into one automatic system without full control of a CTO.
Task overview Timelines Delegate work Get status updates Deadline management Project information flows.
Asana is a complete tool when it comes to project management. It has so many advantages that productive time is maximized. As a project leader, you can see who is doing what at any time, and it is so efficient in assigning tasks that you spend more time working than talking about work. It is free for projects with less than 15 people, and not only that, you can manage several projects simultaneously. Another critical detail to highlight is that Asana has a mobile application that you can use to monitor your project's development from your cell phone. This mobile application is available for iOS and Android. On the other hand, I can highlight that Asana has a friendly and intuitive interface, ideal to guarantee an excellent user experience.
There is no desktop application. This detail forces you to manage your projects either from the browser or from your cell phone. It can interfere with the tastes of some people who are more comfortable working from desktop applications. On the other hand, it is necessary to emphasize that the completeness of Asana, as a tool, makes users take a certain amount of time to learn to use the tool to its full potential and handle all its advantages; time that sometimes you don't have.
Asana has helped me to overview the development of the projects that I have had to manage for my company. It is a powerful software with significant advantages that have helped me to give a concrete and accurate answer about the delivery times of each stage of the project and the fulfillment times of each one of the proposed objectives.
Ease of use and the UX is very pleasing. It helps add more coordination within a team irrespective of its size or region.
Nothing too major that tops my mind. The platform is super helpful and even a novice can grasp the activities quickly
We have teams across continents and with Asana it's easier to line items and track their progress effortlessly
The easy-to-use interface will make my task even more accessible from multiple devices. major advantage would be the systems integration. Asana Mobile Apps are also important for receiving real-time alerts and monitor activities. On working groups on particular applications, the plan and timeline have unique viewpoints. Enable our staff to remain current and at the job if date or range is unclear. This also monitors the daily and weekly activities allocated to me. overall Asana is primarily focus on to monitor all tasks. You could use it conveniently among the members. Asana is best served by assigning duties to the members of staff.
The worst part of Asana would be that it continues to deliver notifications from emails every once in a while. Asana may be too complicated for a simple organization which with its too many apps and choices, does not need each one of these features.
My organization and my staff can resolve most issues by using asana. We have been using this service to fulfill our Goals and manage the projects & daily task. they have all the integrations and modules to start using their platform. Moreover we can tell ideas in a centralized location that can be great if you have large members staff in your organization. This service lets all our employees interact, becasue as my company has now moved to virtual.
