Asana Reviews

“affordable and user friendly workflow”

Pros

Its interface is very simple and user friendly. It also integrates well with a variety of third-party apps which makes it even more useful. On top of that the pricing tiers are affordable and offer good value.

Cons

It can take a while to learn everything because the learning curve is fairly steep but the time invested is worth it once you start using all of its features.

“helpful planning for team projects”

Pros

One thing that really stands out is how much simpler it makes planning future projects with my team. It helps us map out roles, timelines and responsibilities clearly which keeps everyone on the same page.

Cons

I do wish some of the lower-cost plans included a little more functionality since having those extra features would be really useful for what our team needs.

“fantastic for daily task tracking”

Pros

Keeping up with everyday work is much more manageable with this tool because everything is laid out in a clear, simple way. It helps organize tasks and lists while making it easier to set priorities between different activities. I rely on it regularly to monitor my productivity and stay on top of unfinished work.

Cons

It works really well Overall but things can start to feel a bit confusing when it's used with a larger team. It's still not overly difficult to navigate though as more people are added, the growing number of tasks can begin to get in the way.

“fantastic mobile app and team collaboration”

Pros

Being able to upload large batches of photos and data is a big advantage. The iPhone app is excellent and seems essential for staying on top of things. It also really helps that the platform integrates internal teams and external teams in one place which makes collaboration much more manageable.

Cons

The sub-categories are a little confusing At times although that may just be part of me still adjusting to the system. I also haven't been able to figure out how to stop others from creating duplicate addresses and units.

“helpful task alerts every day”

Pros

Being pretty new to this platform, I've been enjoying it so far. I receive daily email alerts for new tasks and I can reply to them without any hassle.

Cons

Since I'm still new to using this platform, I honestly haven't noticed any downsides yet. Up to this point everything has been working well for me.

“productive and Feature packed”

Pros

Turning one of the most dreaded jobs into something actually enjoyable is no small feat but Asana does that really well with project management. It comes with a wide range of features that noticeably boost my productivity and make working in it a pleasure. Compared with Trello, it takes a little more effort to learn because it includes more advanced options like task assignment and other tools. There's also a free trial available which makes it worth testing out first.

Cons

Customer support is quite slow and usually not very helpful so you'll probably end up depending on tutorials and the FAQ instead.

“fantastic task visibility”

Pros

Starting a new job felt much more organized because we used this tool to plan what I needed to do in my first few days and weeks, along with my goals. Plus it made it easy for my manager to see my progress on each task at any time. Even as a first-time user, I found it very easy to use and simple to navigate.

Cons

At this point I really haven't run into any downsides. We're using the free version and it already gives us everything we need for tracking daily tasks and keeping clear visibility into what everyone is working on.

“helpful project tracking, too many emails”

Pros

It is a really great way to keep projects organized and help the team stay aligned. There is definitely a bit of a learning curve At first but once you understand how it works, you start to see lots of different ways to adapt it to your project needs.

Cons

Getting everyone on the team comfortable with it was challenging and quite a few people were frustrated by the number of email notifications it sent out for every project.

“missing features and cluttered UI”

Pros

We decided to try it at first because the keyboard shortcuts were appealing and the platform looked user friendly on the surface.

Cons

Now that we've used it for more than two years, the whole team is ready to move on. There are several user interface issues that feel like they should be obvious fixes but they still get in the way. For example, when creating a task, you can't add subtasks unless you click back into it again. The problem is that the task only shows up in the bottom-left corner for a moment before disappearing which makes that process unnecessarily frustrating. Compared with other tools, it's also missing quite a few features we expected, such as switching a board from Kanban view to a list view which feels like a basic option. On top of that functionality around dependencies, Gantt charts and similar planning tools is limited. The overall layout also feels cluttered and visually tiring to work with.

“clear interface for remote teams”

Pros

It is easy to use and it works especially well for teams with remote employees. The free version is a big plus because it lets people test it out first and then decide whether upgrading is actually necessary. Its interface is clean and simple so even someone new can move around the features without much trouble.

Cons

At this point it has been working really well for me. If I get the chance to use this software again in the future, I'd be happy to share more detailed feedback then.

“team coordination across sites”

Pros

Using this software has been really helpful for communicating actions and priorities with my team especially since we're spread across three different sites.

Cons

There weren't any real problems with the software itself. It was more about remembering to use it and making it a priority At first although that eventually became second nature over time.

“flexible integrations for small teams”

Pros

Using it has been really hassle free thanks to its clean interface and low learning curve. It's simple to pick up and the integrations with other apps are a big plus as I can create tasks through Siri on my phone or directly from Slack. The business features also help managers keep track of task progress more efficiently and the lower-priced options for non-profit organizations make it a good fit for small teams.

Cons

One frustrating limitation is the lack of a prorated option when adding individual users to a team. If you already have 5 users and need to add just 1 more, you're pushed into paying for 10 users instead. That staircase-style pricing is pretty irritating for small teams trying to manage a tighter budget.

“fantastic team collaboration hub”

Pros

Handling collaboration with Asana has felt close to ideal. When the work involves assigning tasks to teammates, monitoring progress and making sure follow-ups happen, this tool fits really well. It's also very flexible and we were able to tailor it to match our project without much trouble. I could assign work, stay on top of timelines and check in on everything with just a few clicks. The built-in notifications are reliable and helpful and the mobile app is thoughtfully designed which makes it convenient to keep up with tasks while away from my desk.

Cons

The onboarding can feel a bit overwhelming at first. There's a lot of information on the screen Right away so it takes some time to sort through it and focus on what actually matters. It would definitely benefit from being a little more user friendly.

“helpful task tracking, limited views”

Pros

It does a really good job with organization especially when it comes to assigning tasks and projects across a team. Setting due dates is also easy and the way everything is displayed makes it useful for following what everyone else is working on or what they've already completed.

Cons

Well one thing I like least is the lack of better view options and the limited ability to customize those views.

“more visual task views”

Pros

One thing I really like is being able to look at the same data in several different formats. After they introduced the card-style view similar to Trello, the platform also became much more visual. We also came across a good IT consultant through his YouTube videos and he helped us get everything set up properly and fine-tuned.

Cons

The part that honestly bothers me is that their logo stays locked in the top-left corner and can't be customized. In Wrike, one of the first things we did was replace the vendor logo with our own. It's a small detail but it was genuinely annoying.

“powerful project tracking tools”

Pros

Asana comes with very efficient, up-to-date project management features that are simple to use and manage. It helps us organize and maintain projects and assignments well while keeping everyone connected in one place through the tool. Tracking work is much better with it and it has improved our overall efficiency in much more productive ways.

Cons

We haven't run into any major problems while using this tool but sharing files with one another can sometimes be a little difficult. The interface also feels somewhat over-designed which can make things more complicated when trying to manage multiple projects at once.

“versatile task tracking win”

Pros

It keeps proving useful in more ways than I expected whether I'm managing the team pipeline, staying on top of client projects or simply keeping my own tasks organized and up to date.

Cons

Getting all the boards, timelines and calendar syncing set up took a little time to figure out but even then, it was still quicker than with other tools I've used.

“flexible value for project teams”

Pros

Among project management tools, Asana stands out as one of the more reasonably priced options and it can be adjusted to fit a wide range of team needs and workflows.

Cons

One downside is that the premium plans require a minimum of five seats which makes them harder for smaller teams to justify or adopt.

“versatile task management win”

Pros

It strikes a really nice balance between simplicity and depth. At its core it keeps things simple for users who just need the basics, while still offering more advanced features for anyone who wants to get into detailed project tracking, task assignment and resource allocation across multiple projects.

Cons

From a more technical perspective, the one thing I still wish it handled better is flexibility around Agile methodology.

“Reliable teamwork features”

Pros

Managing projects with this software is very hassle free. I've tried a few other project management tools that were overly complicated or made basic tasks harder than they needed to be. Here everything is clear, simple and it works especially well when collaborating with a team.

Cons

The only real issue for me is the pricing. It can be a bit confusing comparing what's listed on the pricing page to what you actually end up paying once user counts, plan tiers and other details are factored in.
