Great for task management, increases visibility and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Great task management software. It includes boards, timelines, calendars, a clear overview of statuses, and a list view for assignees, due dates, and priorities. Sections help keep everything organized, and subtasks make it easier to break down more complicated work. We use it all the time for project management.
Any updates to a task show up in real time. If a task is mentioned in another task, an automatic comment is added, which improves visibility and keeps context in one place. There are also workflows that help make repetitive tasks easier to manage.

What do you dislike about the product?
Asana offers a complete task management experience. However, if you’re looking for a simple to-do list, it may not be the right fit for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage tasks and due dates across multiple projects. It keeps everything organized with lists, boards, and timelines, and it also lets me add subscribers to tasks so they’re notified whenever there are updates.
Asana Helped My Leadership Team
What do you like best about the product?
It helps with team collaboration across the entire organization. Also, integration with my team was easy with the support of our Asana customer support. We used another platform and transition to Asana was easier because of the multi-views provided.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is very customizable which can be overwhelming when trying to get started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are so many projects that are happening across our organizations and require collaboration with many people. Asana helped reduce emails and created a central location to communicate, assign task and improve accountability.
Simple but powerful project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The AI features added at the portfolio level create interesting insights on large projects. The initial tests appear promising as a way to standardize portfolio reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The same issues persist; hopefully, Asana will consider these suggestions for their product development roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana primarily addresses the question of "who is doing what and when." It offers a straightforward way to organize tasks and add labels for additional classification, making it easier to manage everything. Additionally, it facilitates collaboration by allowing users to add notes, comments, and attachments simply and visually.
Helpful Platform but Still Learning
What do you like best about the product?
I like the overall user interface design. As designers, we appreciate the visual aesthetics and interaction design since Asana is a platform we use regularly. For work, we like how it organizes things for our team and allows us to stay on track with projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that it's a bit difficult to setup and know exactly what is capable for us to do to improve efficiency for the team. It takes a lot of time to figure out the best way to set things up for the team and isn't the most intuitive for how to best do things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is solving the issue of organzing our projects and managing our work we're completing. It also allows us to communicate with transparancy with our clients about what we are working on and where we are headed. This allows us to manage our time and workload well, keep projects organized and moving forward, and keep us on task.
Great for task-based work, challenging to use as communication tool outside of messages board.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to add tasks and generate insights about work. Resourcing tool has been a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Challenging for team to find certain tasks, there are few ways to call attention to or format tasks in a way that certain members of the team can easily find them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
resourcing by making informed decisions about workload, but estimated time is not a perfect science.
Simple but powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of project management templates makes Asana so user friendly. It is a customizable product and it is a simple way to stay on the same page with all of the people that I work with. Integration with Microsoft was easy and extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is busy and needs to be simplified. I just did a project management training class for my organization and people felt a little overwhelmed with the tool because it is so busy. If you simplified the interface and made it more sleek, that would be amazing and implementation with staff would be so much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping my organization to communicate more effectively by having this dynamic tool that allows us to have real time updates on the status of projects. It also provides a way for us to have less face to face meetings.
User-friendly interface and effective team collaboration elevate project visibility
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I think it's very user-friendly on their Kanban boards for Asana. It's very easy to use for everyone in the team. They have a good tool for the portfolio aspect because we have projects in different areas. Their new capacity planning is also useful for us to see where we are overloaded and how we can shuffle resources around. The fact that the Kanban is so easy to use and the portfolio functions are particularly valuable.
We have benefited from Asana's visual interface components such as Kanban boards. I did not use their Gantt chart, but they have good features and there is substantial visibility among team members because they can see who's working on what. It's easy to use and very friendly.
Asana takes one of the highest priorities for us for reviews.
Asana gives visibility to upper management with the workload and all the other projects that are going on at this point in the company.
What needs improvement?
The capacity planning in Asana is working pretty decently, but there are some opportunities there for sorting, such as determining which project has the highest resources, as their sorting doesn't work that effectively. The capacity planning sorting and visual aspects could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
We started using Asana approximately two to three years ago.
How are customer service and support?
I'm in touch with Asana's sales account manager only. I learned it on my own. Their website has many areas of training, so it's very comprehensive. If you have any questions, you can use the search function and receive many good answers.
I would rate eight to nine for my experience with either the sales representative or the online support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup with Asana was not straightforward because you had to think of where you want to go. It's somewhat tedious because you have to add it project by project, but it's part of building a portfolio. While it was more challenging in the beginning, for an end user, it was not that complicated.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There are main differences between Planview and Asana in my opinion, with Planview being much stricter. There are too many controls on it. Planview has more reporting capabilities and is more detailed. However, for what we need right now in our organization, Asana works pretty well.
What other advice do I have?
It would be acceptable if my real name was used with this review.
It can be public for my company name.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Asana an 8.
