Simple Project and Task Prototyping, But PDF Printing Needs Work
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of organizing thoughts/steps and easily moving them around most. With Asana we're able to quickly prototype a project of series of tasks that can then be assigned, optionally have a due date set and make sure we don't forget it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few downsides of Asana. One is that you will only be as successful with it as your use case demands or your culture will dictate. If you want to put something through it, it will help you, it will ensure those that are also licenses and added get updates. Individual user milage may vary - it will not solve for a project owner not being able to break things down in a way that is digestible.
One recent downside i found was the inability to nicely 'print' a project into a simply document to have the tasks in a PDF form.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving for quick project management with collaboration needs & notifications. It is also solving for ongoing process management in some cases that evolve over time using the template system. It is helping small teams respond efficiently to ever changing processes month over month and ensuring new steps are not forgotten. The platform is simple and that is a strength.

Visually Clear and Easy to Use, But Task Tracking Can Improve
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Asana interface is visually pretty clear to use. It's easy to see everything on one screen, which makes it accessible for folks who are not super tech-savvy and facilitates buy-in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Things often get lost within specific tasks, and it can be hard to find things if they aren't housed in a specific project. Sometimes I feel like the tasks themselves just disappear and are hard to find and keep track of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to track projects and organize tasks among my team so everyone knows their responsibilities.
Fantastic Tool for Streamlined Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for project management at work, and it solves several problems for me, like streamlined communication and keeping systems organized. I appreciate the ability to document steps and milestones in projects effectively. I like how easy it is to use on the go, letting me attach photos and send notes even when I'm working on job sites. This really helps with seamless communication across teams. The initial setup was also easy, which made the transition smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the difficulty of bulk adding new users to projects. I want to be able to select all necessary projects and add a user with edit ability easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to streamline communication, keep our systems organized, and document steps and milestones. It’s easy to use on the go, allowing us to attach photos and send notes, which is crucial for seamless communication across teams.
Keeps the Team Aligned, Though There’s Room to Improve

Streamlined Task Management with Impressive Automations
What do you like best about the product?
I like that in Asana, you can create a project/workflow and automate it so you don't have to manually move it to a specific section of your workflow. Asana does this for you, allowing you to see the project from start to finish. It gives me confidence in my team, knowing that tasks are completed when checked off, making the workflow smoother for everyone. Our specific automated workflow for expense reports impressed everyone with how much easier it is compared to the old paper process. I heard the initial setup was pretty seamless with the Asana team.
What do you dislike about the product?
We tried basically setting up an excel type of spreadsheet to track our money in projects, and funds available but there were too many manual updates that had to be done. It would be nice to have something like that in a more automated workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps track day-to-day tasks and projects, even across cities. It automates workflows, like expense reports, making them smoother and more efficient. I can trust my team to see tasks through and track their progress easily.
Keeps Me and My Team Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it keeps me organized—not just me, but my whole team too!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it would send me a reminder a few days before my task is actually due.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s helping solve miscommunications and making it easier for us to manage tasks and timelines. It’s also making me more organized than I usually am!
Simplifies Nonprofit Operations with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplicity and ease of use of Asana. It's been particularly helpful as we've experienced growth, with the ability to assign tasks being a crucial piece. It allows our team to work more efficiently without replicating communications. The granularity it provides is great for detailed projects, enabling us to segment tasks to team members and keep everything housed in the same place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there's we've had a little bit of trouble with adoption on the team, with a couple of members. So I think if there was a more straightforward way to set it up. I know each organization's a little different, so you know, in terms of onboarding and trainings, it just felt like we've had to revisit that several times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team work more efficiently by streamlining operations and reducing redundant communications.
Good for Project Management, Needs Improved Note Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can make multiple projects, and within each project, we can have multiple different to-do lists that are in the same view. I really like the AI features that help me set automatic rules about who to assign tasks to. I like that I can add notes to each task, and I often include a Google Docs link that is related to that task. The initial setup was pretty easy, it took me a minute to learn all the features, and I had to watch some videos, otherwise, it was pretty straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if I could more easily take running notes in Asana. These might be attached to a task or live in a more permanent place that I can revisit once a week to see everything that has happened to date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to categorize and track our lengthy task list across 15-20 workstreams. I like managing multiple projects with distinct to-do lists in one view. The AI automates task assignments, and I can add notes to tasks, often including Google Docs links.
