Asana Reviews

“Helpful task tracking”

Pros

Working across different departments was much more manageable because the platform let us keep track of project status with multiple colleagues in one place. It also showed exactly who was responsible for completing each task which made following up a lot simpler.

Cons

It could still use a few more features. When I used it, I didn't come across a scheduling option and I also never received reminder emails in my inbox.

“Brilliant for team tasks”

Pros

Asana has been brilliant for our team as a task management tool. We originally signed up for it just for our three-person marketing team and it's been a really useful place to share all of our projects and daily tasks.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues with it at all. It's simple to use and being free makes it even better.

“helps quick team collaboration”

Pros

The tool is simple and it really helps the team communicate quickly while keeping everyone aware of how much work has already been completed.

Cons

At times the platform can feel a bit heavy but it's nothing that outweighs the overall benefits.

“excellent value for price”

Pros

Its functionality is really strong, the price-to-quality ratio is excellent and it makes it very simple to involve team members and collaborators in the work.

Cons

One small downside is the design especially the pop up windows as I'd prefer them to be a bit larger.

“Clean dashboard for team tasks”

Pros

The dashboard has a modern, user friendly feel and I really appreciated having a dedicated space where the whole team could build and manage shared to-do lists together.

Cons

The thing that bothered me was how every interaction triggered an email which quickly overloaded my inbox. It also felt a bit confusing trying to track down older conversations within a specific project.

“Organized projects in one place”

Pros

Keeping up with work used to be difficult for me because I have a lot going on and Asana has been an incredible help with that. It's made everything feel much more organized and manageable. I can oversee projects from one central place instead of bouncing between different tools which saves a lot of time. The platform is also very user friendly so even someone with no background in project management software can start using it comfortably without needing prior experience with tools like Trello, Google Docs or Slack.

Cons

One area that could be better is the integrations and moving from one project to another could also be more hassle free.

“keeps projects organized”

Pros

Keeping work tasks organized is much simpler with it. Also it is easy to use, works really well for both project and task management and helps cut down on unnecessary back-and-forth communication.

Cons

I noticed that it doesn't offer built-in integration with Microsoft the way Slack does.

“Powerful task management for business”

Pros

Asana works really well for task management and it's especially valuable for business use.

Cons

It isn't very user friendly At times and there's still room for some improvements.

“Team alignment that really clicked”

Pros

Our team consistently stayed on the same page while using it.

Cons

The toughest part was getting everyone on board and actually using it.

“Flexible project planning boost”

Pros

The best parts of this software is how it lets you split a large project into smaller pieces and goals which makes tasks quicker to handle and helps you plan even more effectively. It's also customizable so you can adjust it based on the kind of project you're working on.

Cons

At this point I haven't come across anything I dislike about this software.

“Helpful tracking”

Pros

Its tracking tools have been really helpful for keeping up with my workload and responsibilities, thanks to several features that make things feel more manageable. I enjoy creating checklists and marking tasks off once they're done. It's also useful for planning future events and organizing brainstorming ideas. Another feature I appreciate is being able to set task reminders while still having the flexibility to edit them afterward.

Cons

One thing I wish it supported is assigning more than one person to a single task. It also isn't the most user friendly option for people who aren't already familiar with it. I was introduced to it at a previous job and later tried bringing it to my new team but my coworkers weren't very comfortable with it because it didn't feel easy to them. I also think it would help a lot to have step-by-step tutorial videos available since the support resources don't feel very strong.

“Work from anywhere convenience”

Pros

Being able to use it from anywhere and on any device is a big plus and I can even manage things straight from my email. Getting notifications directly in my inbox is also really convenient.

Cons

Keeping up with project status can get confusing if I miss a few updates. It would help a lot to have some kind of progress tracker that shows how far along a task is.

“Centralized task tracking win”

Pros

Having everything in one place really helps with supervising tasks, tracking time and sharing assets and resources with the team.

Cons

To me the UI seems dated and hasn't kept up with other apps like Monday which makes it seem less modern.

“Flexible task grouping”

Pros

Compared with a lot of project management tools, this one lets us create separate groups for each task which is really useful. Adding tasks and assigning people is just a simple drag-and-drop process and there's also a comment option so updates can be shared as progress is made on each task.

Cons

The user interface isn't as user friendly as some other tools such as ServiceNow or JIRA.

“Affordable task tracking win”

Pros

Keeping track of tasks and monitoring project progress is easy with this tool. Compared with Jira, it's also a more economical option.

Cons

I feel like the user interface could use an update and be made more user friendly.

“Powerful task tracking”

Pros

Being able to assign tasks to multiple users or just one person is really useful and having your tasks and workflow filtered makes day to day work much more organized. The internal communication works very well and the document control is also a strong point.

Cons

It would be much better if there were a free version to get started. Right now, it only works with a paid plan and the starting price is quite high which can intimidate users who are thinking about beginning on the platform.

“pretty modern tool”

Pros

The timeline view makes handling task dependencies very easy and the interface seems flexible, fast and modern. Even the free version is quite capable and overall it comes packed with plenty of useful features.

Cons

Pricing is a little higher than some competing tools and it's not the best fit for work that relies heavily on graphics or image-focused projects.

“Fantastic for distributed teamwork”

Pros

Asana does a really good job of helping me organize my day and stay on top of managing a team spread across different parts of the world. It makes it much easier for all of us to follow one another's progress and collaborate asynchronously without things falling through the cracks.

Cons

The mobile version isn't very convenient to use.

“Top tier collaboration features”

Pros

One thing that really stands out is the free plan especially since a lot of other software leaves out features at that level. In my opinion, this platform is top tier Overall and it gives you a lot more room to collaborate with others.

Cons

Its mobile app does feel somewhat limited. It can also be a bit tough to use At times and it doesn't let me assign the same task to more than one user.

“well organized freelance favorite”

Pros

The interface is user friendly and simple which makes it enjoyable to work with. Everything stays really well organized in this app. During my time freelancing, it was one of the best tools I used.

Cons

I am still not sure whether it supports social media scheduling yet.
