Asana Reviews

“ideal for complex projects”

Pros

The enterprise version brings advanced project management features that do a lot to cut down the complexity of keeping large stakeholder groups aligned even when projects are constantly changing and full of dependencies.

Cons

The usability seems pretty individual so it takes some initial setup and adjustment before you can fully tap into its potential and really see the payoff in reduced coordination work.

“Great value for teamwork”

Pros

One thing it does really well is making it simple to share status updates and assign project steps across a team. The pricing is extremely reasonable for everything it offers. I'd pay for it myself if my company weren't already covering it. Its flexible features also do a really good job of helping organize whatever needs to be managed.

Cons

Some parts of the task tracking still feel a bit complex. Once you learn how the setup works, it becomes manageable but it can still be confusing.

“packed with useful features”

Pros

Managing complex team workflows is much more structured now. Plus being able to switch between list, board, timeline and calendar views gives different people the freedom to work in the format that suits them best. Features like task dependencies, subtasks and project templates help standardize processes and keep everyone on the same page. Once the automation rules are set up properly, they also cut down a lot of repetitive manual work.

Cons

There's a lot packed into the interface and that can make it feel intimidating for new users especially compared with simpler tools such as Trello. A few important capabilities, including advanced reporting and workload management, are only available on higher-tier plans so the free version can feel fairly restrictive. Notifications can also get noisy pretty quickly if they aren't adjusted carefully which can lead to alert fatigue.

“Perfect for project tracking”

Pros

It is very easy to use and it was a really helpful way to stay on top of my projects when I was first stepping into entrepreneurship.

Cons

One thing that bothered me was not being able to create docs. That was the biggest downside for me since I wanted a place to keep class notes and other similar information.

“Clean task tracking boost”

Pros

Keeping daily tasks organized and following project progress with the team is really easy. Also the interface is clean and helps us stay productive throughout the day.

Cons

The mobile app can be a little slow At times and desktop updates don't always appear right away. On top of that the interface can feel overwhelming for new users when they first start using it.

“worst billing, no refund”

Pros

It does an okay job handling basic task organization even if the interface isn't especially user friendly. And I feel like with a more user friendly design, it could be a lot better.

Cons

Trying to cancel my subscription turned into a really frustrating experience. I ended up getting charged twice and now the company is refusing to refund the extra charge which feels completely dishonest.

“simple yet strong”

Pros

What it does really well is combine a user friendly interface with strong task management. Creating, assigning and tracking tasks is also easy and deadlines and priorities are always clear. The mix of project timelines, boards and lists gives a lot of flexibility for different workflows. It also helps teams collaborate better by keeping updates, comments and files all in one place.

Cons

The downside is that some of the more advanced features, like timelines and reporting, are only available on the higher-tier plans.

“Quick onboarding, simple layout”

Pros

Getting started with this one was much simpler than with Jira. The interface is user friendly and our team was able to begin using it quickly without needing much training or a long onboarding process.

Cons

It falls short when it comes to working with story points and building dashboards around them and its support for storing and merging code is also more limited compared to Jira.

“great for task tracking”

Pros

Running a small business I get a lot of value out of it. The features included in the free plan cover exactly what I need to keep track of tasks and stay on top of the things I want to get done.

Cons

The only thing I'd want is for a few of the paid features to be included in the free plan as well but it's not a dealbreaker. When the time is right, I can always upgrade to the paid version.

“simplifies everything”

Pros

Asana gives my team a really effective way to work together on important projects. It keeps our day to day tasks organized and we can break work down into subtasks so each person's responsibilities in the project are clearly assigned.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. I cannot think of a downside because it's been incredibly helpful for both our short-term planning and our long-term goals as a team.

“good for projects and timelines”

Pros

Managing projects in Asana has been really helpful especially for organizing timelines, tracking specific tasks and keeping better accountability for work that doesn't get finished on time.

Cons

Since I was only using the free version, I couldn't access every feature available so I don't feel like I got the complete experience.

“could be better”

Pros

Keeping tasks and projects together in Asana really helps with staying organized. The flexibility is a big plus too since you can move between list, board and timeline views based on the way you prefer to work. It's particularly useful for team collaboration because assignments, comments and progress are visible to everyone and easy to follow. The integrations with other tools also help it fit naturally into a larger workflow.

Cons

Once projects start getting bigger it can feel somewhat overwhelming especially if too many features are being used at the same time. There's definitely a learning curve for new users and when people on the team don't use it consistently, it loses some of its value. On top of that several advanced features are only available on higher-tier plans which can feel restrictive.

“Great task tracking experience”

Pros

it has made managing projects much more efficient for me. The features work really well, the support team is consistently helpful and keeping track of tasks is simpler than ever. I'd definitely recommend it!

Cons

At this point I don't really have any complaints. I have run into a couple of minor IT glitches here and there but they were fixed within minutes with help from customer support. They were incredibly fast and friendly every time.

“Team task visibility wins”

Pros

More than anything, Asana helps me stay organized. I'd give its usability about a 7 out of 10. Being able to see the team's tasks and what still needs to be finished adds a lot of value for the price.

Cons

It can get a bit wonky if you check off the main task before marking each subtask as complete.

“Organized teaching workflow”

Pros

As a virtual teacher, Asana keeps my daily, weekly and monthly tasks and projects organized in one place. It's the tool I rely on for all of my day to day work. It helps me stay on top of grading, attendance updates, parent communication and everything else I need to remember. I am really happy my company uses Asana because without it, my work life would be nowhere near this organized.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It's a highly effective program and has been beneficial across the board.

“simple project tracking software”

Pros

Asana has been a very user friendly and useful tool for handling tasks and even broader team management. It has become our team's go-to platform for staying on top of projects and keeping everything organized.

Cons

There are no major issues but since Google and Microsoft now offer ways to track projects directly in their own platforms, it does make you question the extra cost. That said it still comes with a very comprehensive set of features.

“easy, easy, easy”

Pros

Task management, dependencies and deadlines is quite easy now which makes coordination between team members much easier.

Cons

Once the number of projects starts growing, notification management can get hard to keep under control unless you fine-tune the settings carefully.

“Flexible project views”

Pros

One thing that worked really well was how flexible the layout and structure could be and it handled a lot of projects across different formats without much trouble.

Cons

At the same time there were so many options and ways to customize and build things inside projects that it didn't feel very user friendly.

“Amazing project tracking hub”

Pros

We've been using Asana as a calendar to keep track of projects and get a clear view of how different teams are moving work forward. Lately, we've also started leaning on it more for task management and it's been really useful for that as well.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to the task management side. The dashboard hasn't felt quite as simple as some of Asana's other features but overall it's still an excellent platform once you get comfortable with the interface.

“fantastic task tracking and reporting”

Pros

Keeping up with day-to-day tasks and assigned projects is much more manageable now. The interface is very simple to use and I can stay organized by integrating tasks from my calendar and email. Reporting is also really helpful because I can quickly check my progress and compare where I stand with others on my team.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of anything I dislike about Asana right now. I've used it at two different companies over the years and it has continued to evolve along with technology.
