Flawless, simple, intuitive task management
What do you like best about the product?
Straightforward UI, always worked for both individual and collaborative task management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat limited automation options, I don't recall seeing any AI features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote work project management.
Good task management
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Asana is how easy it is to manage tasks and follow progress. The interface is clear, and I can quickly see who is responsible for what and when things are due. It really helps me stay organized, especially when working with multiple people or teams. I also appreciate the different views (list, board, calendar), which make it flexible depending on the type of project.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I find less convenient with Asana is that it can become a bit overwhelming when managing larger or more complex projects. There are a lot of features, but sometimes it takes time to find the right view or organize the information properly. Also, when many people are involved, it's easy to lose visibility on priorities unless everything is very well structured.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me keep track of all my tasks and projects in one place, which solves the problem of scattered information and miscommunication. Instead of following up through emails or chats, everything is documented, assigned, and scheduled clearly. It saves me time, keeps the team aligned, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Excellent tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is easy to use. I like the animations within the application that keeps the user engaged.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used asana in my previous organization and then wanted to introduce this tool in the new job, but the trail period ended too soon. If the trail period can be kept until x number of users are added instead of the number of days asana is used then it would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The task assignment is very easy and it helps me keep track of of all the tasks which the user has been assigned with. I also like the dependant feature where a task is locked until the master or the parent task is completed. It has helped me address my deliverables in time. Task management is excellent which it comes to asana.
Great source of truth for project planning
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is having somewhere to go and see the tasks that where agreed to be done and their due date. This has saved me a lot of complaints and disagreements.
I also really like the API and its docs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is complicated to navigate through it and also being unable to create different columns for each section in a project.
Very often it takes a lot of time for the asana web to load.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a source of truth of the tasks to be completed in a certain sprint or the due date of the tasks.
Love the organization here!
What do you like best about the product?
Keeping my tasks all in one place makes things so much easier to find as slmeone who is part of many differnt work groups for my position
What do you dislike about the product?
the interface is not as aesthetically pleasing as I would like, I wish we could customize the home screen.

Asana is solving my workflow issues
Aesthetic Project Management Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes it easy for teams to get up and running quickly without a steep learning curve. From managing simple to-do lists or coordinating complex, cross-functional projects, Asana adapts well to a variety of workflows. The ability to customize views and rules adds to how Asana makes day-to-day task management more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s room for improvement in Asana automation and integrations. The current Rules feature is fairly limited-offering only basic triggers and actions that fall short for teams managing more advanced or conditional workflows. Similarly, the integrations with other applications tend to be surface-level, requiring workarounds or third-party tools for deeper functionality. For teams relying on end-to-end automation or complex data syncs, these gaps can be a constraint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps streamline cross-team collaboration by providing a shared workspace that’s easily accessible across the organization. Because the interface is so intuitive, team members can jump in and navigate tasks, timelines, and updates with little to no onboarding. This reduces the need for constant explanation or follow-up, especially when working across departments or time zones. It’s been especially useful in keeping project visibility high and responsibilities clear without relying on status meetings or manual updates.
Cluttered but helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I think there is a lot Asana can do with AI and automation that does in some ways help to make things simpler. It takes some time to get things set up but once they are up and running it is useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is not that user friendly or customizable. I think there are things that I expect to be able to do but can't. Like if I sort buckets by who they are assigned to I don't see the subtasks. There is also so many features that even if I could do what I wan't I can't figure out how. There are also way too many notifications so people ignore the important ones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us to make sure everyone knows what they need to do and keep track of various milestones for projects
Almost perfect
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it helps to mage the projects, tasks and subtasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of customization on reporting and dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is helping on tracking and communication within the Team
Powerhouse platform but missing a few features
What do you like best about the product?
I love the form integration that Asana offers. The platform also has a lot more personality than any other platform I have used. I also really enjoy that the Rules feature that allows users to explore the possibilities of automation and organization within project management. The AI studio helps to really test the limits of customization. I do also appreciate the ability to relationship tasks or projects with other initiatives since I think it allows for better cross-departmental functionality on especially complex projects or goals. Asana was also not too complicated to learn, and I really appreciate the community feature for when those tricker questions come up.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some platforms offer the automated ability to list the estimated time a task will take to complete, which can then be used to automatically update the timeline depending on whether the task is critical to the delivery. It also auto updates based on this build to show an updated timeline depending on when a task actually starts to generate a status on project health. This is a huge component of my current role and the timer doesn't feel like it quite fits this need neatly.
Also not a huge fan of approvals (that are dependent on another approval) unblocking when the user on the initial approval task marks something as "request changes" or "reject". I would love a more robust proofing process for files since my department is heavily involved in creative assets. It is counterintuitive for a comment made by a reviewer on an image to instantly generate a new subtask, given that the request may not be approved for the final copy. It would be better if that comment and review process was contained to the image (and could have new versions uploaded into the same proof rather then leaking out into the rest of the project page). I think workfront and smartsheet have accomplished these two features a bit more intuitively and seamlessly than Asana.
It's also a small nitpick, but it's a bit too easy to accidentally create a task when I'm trying to click out of highlighting one. In one project where each task creates a new Request, I have to manually delete each time. I do also find moving large batches a bit tedious and would love for the widgets to be able to highlight a little bit more data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Homing projects and tasks that are spread out in a chaotic setting.
Possibilities are there but confusing logic ...
What do you like best about the product?
A centralised repository for storing projects and making management a simpler, centrally coordinated, and reportable resource.
What do you dislike about the product?
Has the potential to join projects together, but for complex multi-team, significant review, approval, multi-owner transfer projects it provides complications. Not being able to search within custom fields without going through custom search - let us save a search profile that works for the way our people work. No ability to create recurring events, for example a 2 hour review session each week - you need to complete the current then generates the next - this impacts resource planning as those hours don't "exist" until the next instance is created. Reporting is still lacklustre, as we typically now need to export CSV files and do data representation as best we can using pivot tables and more complementary data usage fro senior management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is trying to provide a consolidated single source of project progress - through centralised messaging, rather than detached across emails, IM's, phone calls. It is trying to give visibility of the wider project landscape, progress, delays (and reasons), and ensuring there's a method to understand and assign workloads.
