Asana Makes Task Management Simple and Clear.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is useful where one needs to manage tasks without struggling through an overwhelming program. I use Asana to keep a check on the tasks that I am doing and get updates on those and know what needs to be done next.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the tasks which don't have any updates become ambiguous and make it tough to determine the level of progress being made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay clear by ensuring all tasks, their updates, and who owns them are visible in one single place with minimum efforts.
Endless Possibilities: Asana Templates and AI Are a Project Management Game-Changer
What do you like best about the product?
The possibilities with Asana are endless, which is great for a project manager. I love the templates to help provide a starting point for creating a project, and the AI option to help create a Project for me is also a game-changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having endless possibilities is exciting, but also overwhelming. Getting started into Asana felt like a huge undertaking, and I'm still not fully comfortable with how best to use the platform because I feel like I should be using it in smarter ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's providing a comprehensive, true project management program to house all of our marketing team and projects in one platform.
Powerful Yet Intuitive Platform for Managing Multiple Initiatives
What do you like best about the product?
I love everything about this platform; it’s truly exceptional and ideal for organizations managing multiple parallel initiatives. It’s powerful yet intuitive, which makes it easy to use even for personal tasks. It gives me a clear, user-friendly overview when I need it, while still letting me dive deeper into dependencies and capacity planning through Gantt charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I honestly have nothing negative to say. I haven’t run into any issues, and I credit that to their attentive, efficient customer service team. It’s clear the team genuinely cares about its users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to assign responsibilities quickly and easily, and create and manage subtasks. It provides a complete operational overview of my projects. Furthermore, I appreciate the ease of generating reports and documenting progress directly on the platform-a significant advantage when working with clients who expect clear and structured updates.
Easy to Use with a Friendly Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to use, with a friendly learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes certain features are behind a paywall, and it can take the organization some time to catch up and follow through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, workload sharing, accountability, and traceability across projects and tasks.
Powerful Automations, UI Improvable
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to organize myself better, manage more than 20 campaigns at once, visualize my activities, receive deadline reminders, and automate my workflow, which makes it easier to handle repetitive tasks and notify my superiors.
Flexible Recurring Tasks and Reminders Make Asana a Strong Productivity Hub
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handoffs and complexity of how many people are contributing to a project are killing us! Having someone see that a task is assigned to another team member... that both see/know that task is being held. People forgetting to ask for inputs in a timely manner, or asking without providing all the necessary details. We are early in the process of trying to solve this. We're at the stage where lack of systems is so burdensome that it's hard to build the systems.
Easy to Use with Handy Templates, Task Copying, and a Promising New AI Feature
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and ability to copy tasks and projects, as well as creating templates, and the new AI feature that just launched.
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding new tasks and the clunkiness of having to either make private or public, especially for large quantities on an individual basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps keep me organized and not allow things to slip through the cracks.
Highly Customizable to Fit Different Team Needs
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of ways to customize it based on what you need and what works best for different people on your team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel complicated and overwhelming when you’re first getting started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us keep track of our projects and also serves as a reliable historical record we can refer back to.
Streamlined Project Management with Excellent Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to forward Slack and email messages from my coworkers to my Asana board. We also autoforward emails from our shared inbox to an Asana board. From there, we figure out whose job it is to pick up that email. It allows us to cut down response time by allowing us to immediately identify which member of our team ought to pick up the email in question. The initial setup of Asana was easy breezy, with no big issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Asana workflows had the option to add a delay step (i.e., when a task is added, wait 5 minutes, and then run Asana AI step). That way, the Asana AI steps don't run so prematurely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps us manage our project pipeline, stay on top of tasks, and ensures visibility on deadlines, reducing communication errors. It supports swift email response by clearly assigning tasks, improving efficiency.
Sublime UX, Smooth Integrations, and Powerful AI Features
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love their UX. Everything is so clean and smooth, easy to use and learn. It has many integrations with our tech stack so I could easily sync things with Google and Slack. I never had any issues with the platform performance or the support team, and their assistant chat agent is great for questions and doubts. I'ev used many of their AI features as well, specially for Project summaries, updates, goals, suggested workflows.. and I think it's just SUBLIME
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside it's that it's somehow more expensive than some of it's competitors, so my company decided to keep JIRA for project tracking rather than Asana - Believe me.. I cried when this happened!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything! Project tracking, goal tracking, automatic updates and reports for managers, automated workflows to save manual time.
