Asana Reviews

“Clean interface and simple workflow”

Pros

The user friendly interface makes is easy to use and getting around the platform is very reliable overall.

Cons

I just wish it included more advanced project management features.

“Task planning that clicks”

Pros

Asana has made a real difference in how I organize both my day to day tasks and the bigger goals I am working toward over time. It helps me keep priorities clear instead of feeling scattered.

Cons

Getting started can take a little time because there's definitely a bit of a learning curve but they also offer plenty of resources that help you figure things out.

“Works really well with our team”

Pros

Using this software with my company has been very easy and it fits nicely into the way our team works.

Cons

It seems to be missing some dashboard features although I assume those are probably included in the paid version.

“Linked scheduling boosts productivity”

Pros

Its productivity tools and scheduling features are what made me love it. Everything is linked together and the schedules automatically update whenever you make changes to an activity.

Cons

To really get the most out of it, there's definitely a learning curve. It takes time to understand how to use the platform fully.

“Handy at the office”

Pros

Using it at work has been very simple and it fits well into my day to day tasks at the office.

Cons

It does seem a bit expensive and not the most affordable option.

“Modern ui and helpful support”

Pros

Right from the start, Asana has been excellent across the board. It's very simple to use and get around and the interface feels modern and user friendly. It's been incredibly helpful for handling our day to day work and I am also really pleased with the customer support whenever we need any kind of assistance.

Cons

there's nothing I dislike about this software and the pricing feels very reasonable as well.

“Great task tracking and teamwork”

Pros

Running our intern projects through it worked out really well. It let me create tasks, assign them and keep everything organized for the team I was supervising without much hassle. The different project views such as list, board, calendar and timeline were especially useful for tracking progress and making sure assigned work didn't get missed. I also liked the collaboration side of it since connecting it with tools like Microsoft Teams and Google Drive made it simple for teammates to meet, discuss updates and store or access project documents when needed.

Cons

One issue I ran into was that the volume of notifications could sometimes feel overwhelming and distracting. It performed very well for our small project but I do have concerns about how it would hold up with bigger projects and larger teams since we were only working with a group of five professionals. Task duplication can also happen fairly easily which may create confusion although careful task organization can help reduce that problem.

“Team stays on track”

Pros

It helps keep my team organized and moving in the right direction and I can customize it to fit our specific workflow really well.

Cons

The only thing I'd love to see is a way to communicate with my customers directly through the app.

“Clear navigation and efficient work”

Pros

From the very first use the interface seems user friendly and navigation is quite clear which makes organizing tasks and projects much simpler. I have also noticed a real improvement in my efficiency thanks to the tracking and collaboration features it includes. Without a doubt it seems to me to be one of the best alternatives available.

Cons

Configuring workflows can become somewhat complicated and the customization options fall short. Moreover this lack of flexibility can be a significant drawback especially for those who need to adapt the tool to more specific requirements.

“Clean design, mixed usability”

Pros

The interface comes across as clean and well put together and the core features are fairly easy to use. The reporting tools are also quite amazing especially if you stay on top of keeping your projects updated.

Cons

That said the core functionality doesn't feel as strong as some other options. Each project seems to require a lot of data management and not everyone really has time to keep up with that. Tracking projects also takes some adjustment and it may be partly because I don't have super user or admin permissions so I am not able to see much or maybe the standard level of access just isn't the right fit for what I need.

“all in one project control”

Pros

Having task management, time tracking and project portfolio management all in one place makes Asana really convenient to use as a single repository.

Cons

Over the past three years, it has been flawless for me. The mobile app issues I had were resolved after upgrading to a newer version.

“Versatile task organization”

Pros

There are several useful ways to organize tasks and projects in it. Being able to group tasks by project or campaign makes a big difference in keeping everything organized.

Cons

The only challenge was getting used to all the options and settings. A tutorial covering best practices at the beginning would have been really helpful.

“Clear task ownership”

Pros

Asana makes it simple to assign a specific person to each task so everyone knows exactly who is responsible for what work.

Cons

It can sometimes get hard to manage when it becomes loaded with too many messages.

“Team tasks stay on track”

Pros

It's been really helpful having the entire team use this to keep projects and day to day tasks organized and moving in the right direction.

Cons

I honestly don't have any real complaints. It's a really great product overall.

“all in one team teamwork (Option 2)”

Pros

Having all project-related communication gathered in one place really helps. Plus it makes conversations easier to follow and collaboration much easier.

Cons

Managing multiple project sheets can get a bit confusing and the intake forms sometimes feel too long.

“Teamwork made effortless”

Pros

Working as a team feels incredibly simple with this software.

Cons

None at the moment as everything is meeting my expectations.

“Versatile templates and clear tracking”

Pros

Being able to build templates and keep an eye on progress has been really useful. It keeps everything organized and there are so many different ways you can use it.

Cons

There was a small learning curve at first but aside from that, I honestly didn't run into anything to dislike while using the tool.

“Team teamwork with rich templates”

Pros

Working with teams in Asana was really effective and there were plenty of template options available to choose from.

Cons

Getting the hang of it at first was a little difficult without some help.

“Tracking projects with confidence”

Pros

To me the best parts is being able to look back through all the previous notes and revisions which helps us stay on top of creative projects and sort everything out properly once the job is finished.

Cons

I do value getting notified whenever a client leaves a comment or adds a note but the number of alerts can become a bit much at times and I wish the notification settings were clearer and simpler to adjust.

“Clean layout with useful features”

Pros

Once I got familiar with it, the layout felt simple to use and the platform was overall user friendly too.

Cons

Pricing was the biggest issue for me. To access the features I wanted, I would have had to pay for at least two users even though I am a solopreneur and only needed one seat. I was especially interested in portfolios, reporting and goals but the cost didn't make sense for my situation. In the end, I moved to a different project management tool that included all of those features, plus more, at a much lower price.
