Asana Reviews

“Staff cross-referencing falls short”

Pros

The system is user friendly and easy to navigate.

Cons

Task management didn't feel well organized especially when it came to cross referencing work with staff.

“Team projects keep everyone aligned”

Pros

Creating separate teams and projects is incredibly useful for the kind of work I do. I also appreciate how thoroughly each project, task and subtask can be organized with deadlines and assigned owners. It really improves communication across the whole project.

Cons

I don't have any real complaints about the tool. I am still getting familiar with some parts of it since there are features I don't use every day, like reports, portfolios and goals.

“Great task clear view and auto-tasks”

Pros

One of the best things about Asana is how well its features helped me keep both my personal and professional tasks organized. I was able to set up multiple projects for different areas of my work which made everything much easier to manage. Creating several sections within each project was simple and each section could include its own tasks and subtasks. Collaboration was also very convenient since I could assign those tasks and subtasks to individual users, giving everyone full transparency across each project. On top of that tools like swim-lane boards, timeline and calendar made it much easier to visualize the overall project status and get a clear bird's-eye view of everything on my plate. Its basic and automated workflows, including integrations with Zapier, Slack, Teams, Drive and others, also helped speed up the whole process and kept me updated with real-time notifications.

Cons

I honestly did not come across any drawbacks. It is very affordable and offers excellent features.

“Clean interface and easy to use design”

Pros

Right away the interface makes the whole experience better. It is thoughtfully designed and very user friendly so getting started doesn't take much effort. The layout is clear, the navigation is easy and users can pick it up quickly without a learning curve. When software is difficult to use, I'd much rather have something like this than a more powerful tool that feels complicated.

Cons

One area that falls short is task assignment. A task can only be assigned to one person at a time which feels pretty limiting for a team collaboration tool. When multiple people need to work on the same item, you end up creating separate tasks instead. That can make the actual amount of work left in a project harder to understand and track clearly.

“Color-coded calendar clarity”

Pros

Having a clear calendar overview is one of the most helpful parts of using it. The color-coded projects make tasks quick to distinguish and the calendar view gives a good sense of how much time is still left in the week.

Cons

There have been a few occasional platform issues but the team usually fixes them within a matter of hours. Because of that, I really do not have many complaints.

“Clean design and practical task views”

Pros

Asana is very practical and clean and it's simple to use for organizing everything. The part I enjoyed most was being able to check off tasks, plus it offers different ways to view them, all within a very minimalist design.

Cons

The thing that could be better is adding more features to the mobile app, similar to what's available on the desktop version, such as the option to archive tasks directly from the app.

“Color-coded tasks that click”

Pros

I really love the color coding on tasks compared to projects as it makes everything clear at a glance. The drag-and-drop system is also something I enjoy using a lot.

Cons

The one thing I find unfortunate is that a task cannot be assigned to two people at the same time.

“Custom boards keep everything organized”

Pros

One of the best things about it is how user friendly the interface is. It's easy to use, very simple to navigate and it doesn't take much effort to find what you need. Being able to build custom project boards and task lists has completely changed how I manage my work since it lets me keep all my tasks and projects organized in one place.

Cons

That said some of the more advanced features can be a little tricky to figure out and definitely come with a bit of a learning curve.

“Team link and task clear view”

Pros

Working with the team is not a hassle anymore. It helps a lot with managing scheduled tasks and the dashboard gives a clear overall view of each stage that needs to be followed.

Cons

One thing I have noticed is that when a lot of people are involved in the same task and everyone is commenting at the same time some information can get buried which means you may end up seeing only the most recent comments.

“Powerful task tracking link”

Pros

Across the organization it lets you keep track of all your tasks in one place. It also integrates well with plenty of other software, including Google products and more.

Cons

The pricing is a little higher than a lot of competitors. If they lowered the cost, they could probably generate a lot more sales.

“Simple and highly recommended”

Pros

One thing that really works well here is how user friendly the service is. It keeps things simple and that's a big reason I'd strongly recommend this software.

Cons

A downside is that customer support can be pretty slow when it comes to answering questions.

“Visual project tracking win”

Pros

Keeping tabs on active projects is really easy with it and working with others is not a hassle while still helping everyone move things forward. I also love how visual the whole platform is.

Cons

Getting started can feel a little overwhelming at first but once you get used to how it works, it's totally fine. Other than that, nothing else really comes to mind.

“Easy to use multi-project tracking”

Pros

It's very easy to keep track of several projects at the same time which makes managing everything much more practical.

Cons

The mobile version could be a bit better since it felt quite lacking to me.

“all in one project control (Option 2)”

Pros

Asana lets me keep everything related to my work in one place. I can see newly assigned tasks, follow a project's progress and set my own reminders and private notes. It really feels like a complete all in one tool.

Cons

The only downside at the beginning is that the app can feel a bit overwhelming because there are so many features and tools spread throughout it. There's definitely a learning curve but once you get through that, the benefits really start to show.

“Versatile for projects and training”

Pros

It is easy to use and it works well for everything from small tasks to bigger goals like program rollouts and staff training.

Cons

One limitation is that the project type cannot be changed later. You can set up a project as a list or a board but once it's created, there's no option to convert it.

“Custom dashboards and real-time results”

Pros

Having the integration tools in one place is a big advantage because teams can handle everything on a single platform and keep all project-related work centralized. The dashboards can be tailored to match specific goals and task planning and the real-time results make it possible to monitor progress and make adjustments whenever needed.

Cons

Even the free version is still quite beneficial though it does come with limits when it comes to advanced features. Still, it gives a good sense of the resources and tools available.

“Practical help every day”

Pros

Asana has been very practical to use and it really helps a lot with day to day work.

Cons

The implementation was a little difficult and I think the customer support could be improved.

“Very complete and practical”

Pros

It's very simple to use and really comprehensive. We mostly rely on the tasks feature as reminders.

Cons

I don't have anything against it because the tool feels very complete to me.

“Everything better organized”

Pros

Ever since this software was introduced at work, everything has become much more manageable. I can keep track of every task, from the simplest to the most complicated, all in one place. They also use it to assign our schedules and let us know which coworkers we'll be working with.

Cons

Personally, I haven't found anything to dislike about this software since it has made my work feel more dynamic and enjoyable every day.

“Editorial planning done right”

Pros

We use it to plan our Twitter and LinkedIn content calendar and it works really well for that. The whole team can view it and contribute in real time which makes collaboration much easier. The layout is clear, well organized and perfectly suited to this kind of use. It gives us an amazing overall view and really helps us build our editorial strategy.

Cons

There aren't really any noticeable downsides.
