Asana Reviews

“Simple to learn great for multiple teams”

Pros

Learning and using Asana proved to be easy and quick with the added benefit of receiving emails or notifications when following a task.

Cons

Despite being easy to learn getting stuck or lost in tasks can occur posing occasional difficulties in regaining focus.

“Asana for NGOs”

Pros

A valuable tool for shared tasks Asana facilitates tracking responsibilities and advances featuring good notifications and ease of use even with the free limited option.

Cons

There genuinely wasn't anything I disliked.

“Better Than Other PMS”

Pros

Asana with its usercentric approach excels in project management with features like tasks subtasks and project tracking enhancing overall productivity.

Cons

If working with freelancers on an hourly basis time tracking features are absent.

“Asana is great for projects and reminders”

Pros

Asana's collaborative nature makes it a delightful tool for collaborating on tasks with others.

Cons

The lack of integration with Office is the only improvement suggested and larger teams face payment requirements.

“Great Tool A bit Expensive”

Pros

Asana proves to be excellent for managing projects and team members.

Cons

Cost and the need to switch between boards made it challenging particularly for a larger team.

“Modern views built to last”

Pros

Asana has a modern interface and offers several project views like List, Calendar, Kanban and Timeline which makes managing work very flexible. You can assign tasks, monitor progress and even handle bug tracking within the platform. There's a good reason it has stayed relevant for more than a decade.

Cons

It does take a bit of time to get comfortable with the way it works. That said the interface is far clearer than it used to be, back when task details were tucked away in animated sidebars and the visual indicators for subtasks are better now. One thing still missing though, is markup tools for graphic design-related work.

“Versatile project dashboard”

Pros

Setup and board configuration take only a few minutes, I mean it is that quick and easy. Plus it works well for managing several projects at once and the dashboard brings all the key features together in one place. I also like that you can assign a task or subtask to multiple people which isn't always possible in other tools. The Slack integration is another plus and works reliably.

Cons

One drawback is the lack of complete educational material which can be a real barrier for new users especially anyone who has never used a task or project management tool before. On top of that goal setting, creating and configuring reports and building portfolios are not very easy to use.

“Task editing with reminders”

Pros

Being able to update tasks and still set reminders for them is something I really appreciate.

Cons

there isn't anything I dislike about it.

“Packed with teamwork features”

Pros

Asana covers a lot and that's what I loved most about it. It brings together the calendar, task management tools, team collaboration and integrations with outside accounts like email, calendars, chat, Drive and more in one place.

Cons

One area that could use improvement is file management. We had a tough time locating older files that had been uploaded there.

“Clear organized task tracking”

Pros

Everything stays clear and well organized which makes it excellent for managing tasks and projects.

Cons

It's an excellent project management tool and I honestly don't have any complaints. It really is that simple to use and effective.

“Powerful for large teams”

Pros

It's a very complete platform although too many features sit behind the paid plans. Still, it has huge potential for larger work teams.

Cons

There are just too many paid features which ends up making it one of the most expensive options on the market.

“Teamwork that really helps”

Pros

One part I like most is being able to manage collaborative projects with my colleagues.

Cons

The task panel is the part I like least since keeping track of each task is a bit confusing to me.

“Task and project management done right”

Pros

The part I loved most in this product was its task management and project management capabilities.

Cons

From my perspective everything has been good with this product when it comes to managing tasks and projects.

“Fast and easy to use workflow”

Pros

Using it is not a hassle, the interface is clean and user friendly and I really love how fast everything processes.

Cons

The resource allocation feature could still use some improvement and should be updated at more regular intervals.

“Great free team planning”

Pros

Getting started with it took almost no effort and the fact that it's free makes it even better. I am able to assign tasks to my entire team and still stay within the free plan which is a huge plus!

Cons

Even after using it for two years I really haven't found much to complain about with this product.

“Helpful team teamwork (Option 2)”

Pros

One thing that's been really useful is how well it integrates with other programs while still letting you collaborate with teammates in the same place. I only recently started using it with someone I work with and it's been really nice being able to track progress together and clearly see what's expected from me.

Cons

I haven't come across anything I dislike about the software.

“Teamwork stays aligned”

Pros

Working with teammates is really effective here since you can keep track of information and leave comments which helps everyone stay on the same page.

Cons

I am not even sure this fully counts as a downside but only the person who originally posted a comment is able to edit or delete it.

“Powerful timelines and teamwork”

Pros

It is easy to use and it integrates with a wide range of other tools. It's a great platform for managing timelines and keeping track of the bigger picture across projects. Team collaboration also works really well since you can communicate directly with teammates right inside each task.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. Assigning tasks to other users is simple, the interface is very user friendly and the waterfall timeline view is something I genuinely enjoy using.

“Team teamwork that clicks (Option 2)”

Pros

Setting up team projects and assigning clear ownership is really easy. Being able to give one task to multiple people and link tasks across different projects is probably the best part since it makes collaboration much more effective. Because of that, working across teams feels almost effortless. Any team can manage the project and the notifications plus assignment features make it simple to stay updated on progress and all the routine changes in the system. Team members can also talk directly inside each task and update details in real time. That makes it very clear for everyone to see what they're responsible for and what the next steps are.

Cons

One limitation is that the platform becomes unusable without an internet connection. I'd really like some kind of added functionality that keeps it useful when the internet goes down. Editing certain parts of a project especially in views like the calendar, is not always very convenient either. Another thing I miss is an undo button. I make mistakes from time to time and there's no quick way to reverse them. Exporting a project to CSV is possible but the output isn't especially appealing.

“Powerful control for my team”

Pros

Asana has played a big part in growing my business. The level of detail in its features is impressive and it includes everything I need for managing projects. I am able to keep track of my whole team and stay on top of every improvement they make.

Cons

Getting started with it was a bit challenging but I believe I'll become more comfortable with it over time.
