Asana Reviews

“feature rich but locked in”

Pros

There are plenty of features and built-in tools for keeping track of projects which I really appreciated.

Cons

The part I really disliked is that when you leave a company that used it, there's absolutely no way to take all the templates and workspace customizations you created with you.

“Real-time tracking we love”

Pros

The task board view keeps us on top of work as it happens so staying updated on real-time progress is never a problem. Its team communication features have given us an efficient way to keep everyone connected throughout the entire project especially when it comes to sharing updates quickly. On top of that the project reporting is outstanding and delivers valuable insights that help us keep our work aligned with our goals.

Cons

everything about it has won us over. There really isn't anything we like the least.

“user friendly tool”

Pros

Its interface is very user friendly and the customizable workflows make it simple to adapt the platform to different ways of working. It also does a good job with team collaboration, plus task management and prioritization are handled really well.

Cons

For smaller teams, it can feel a bit overwhelming at times and the number of notifications can become too much.

“Flexible boards and projects”

Pros

One thing I really enjoy about it is how simple it is to use and I can organize everything neatly across different boards and projects.

Cons

I really haven't come across anything I dislike about it.

“Great project tracking tool”

Pros

Asana has been excellent for keeping our projects and tasks organized and under control. It's one of the best project management tools available especially since it's user friendly and comes with a free plan. I use it every day while working remotely and it fits really well into both my personal workflow and the way my team works.

Cons

At first I expected the learning curve to be difficult but it actually turned out to be very manageable. Getting used to it was easy and it ended up saving me a lot of time.

“modern UX, limited clear view”

Pros

The interface looks modern and appealing and it really helped me stay fully focused on the tasks assigned to me.

Cons

The downside is the lack of a wider view across all projects. If you're not directly involved in something but still want to follow it, there's no real way to see beyond your own responsibilities.

“Easy to use UI, complexity builds fast”

Pros

I find its interface is user friendly and overall it comes across as a very modern, high quality product.

Cons

At the same time, things can become complicated very quickly.

“Simplifyd workflows and quick support”

Pros

It takes complicated processes and turns them into something much more manageable with decent automation. On top of that customer support usually gets back within a day.

Cons

Overall, it's an excellent tool but one limitation stands out that is while the team and current description are always visible, earlier work isn't. For example, in a creative team, I can see the finished product but not the previous copy or design versions.

“Organized team teamwork”

Pros

Asana helps us keep customer software issues organized and it makes it really clear to see all the collaboration happening across the team.

Cons

One thing I wish were different is that pressing the Enter key wouldn't automatically mark a task as complete.

“Clear project organization”

Pros

Keeping projects organized in it is very easy and it does a good job of keeping the whole team involved and up to date.

Cons

There's not much information shown for sub-tasks so you have to click through several windows to view the details.

“Reliable task management tool”

Pros

Asana has been a really good tool for handling project management. Creating tasks is simple and assigning them to the right team members is very convenient.

Cons

One thing I don't like is how easily tasks can be marked as closed. It makes accidental task closure more likely than it should be.

“Powerful workflow auto-tasks”

Pros

Among all the project and task management tools I have used, this one has been the most powerful by far. It lets me automate workflows in real time which has been incredibly valuable. The built-in instant messaging and chat features are another big plus.

Cons

I have been using it for more than six years and I still haven't run into any drawbacks.

“includes everything needed”

Pros

It comes with more than just project and task management tools as it also includes built-in business messaging and chat features which makes collaboration even better.

Cons

Since I began using it, I haven't run into any errors on my side at all.

“Remote project management win”

Pros

Managing a project with a client in another state became much more effortless with Asana.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve while we were getting used to how the platform works.

“Team activity tracking done right”

Pros

It does a really good job of keeping the team's work organized and making progress easy to follow.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about it. The tool is very user friendly.

“Great for team projects”

Pros

The interface is very user friendly and the feature set is impressive. It works especially well for teams and makes collaboration easy.

Cons

The only thing I'd want is a bit more included in the free plan.

“Keeps our team aligned”

Pros

Using this tool for project management has kept our team aligned really well. Plus it makes organizing work very simple and easy.

Cons

Up to this point, we haven't come across any downsides with it.

“Great links for teams”

Pros

Rolling this out across a team of 10+ was really simple and the integrations are fantastic.

Cons

Handling several complex projects at once could be a little tricky at times.

“Team working together made effortless”

Pros

Coordinating with a team feels much simpler with this tool.

Cons

It helps everyone stay on top of their tasks and makes sure assignments don't get overlooked.

“Flexible setup that just works”

Pros

Right away the UX felt very user friendly and the overall layout is well thought out. Everything makes sense so using it feels natural. I also really appreciate that the free plan includes everything needed for individual use without constantly pressuring you to upgrade. On top of that it's flexible in how you can organize and display your information which matters a lot when different projects and different people need different setups.

Cons

At times I still have trouble finding what I need even when I was the one who organized it.
