Project Manager turned Executive Director
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Asana for the past ten years at three different companies. From a software development company to a large corporate construction business and finally to a small nonprofit. Asana is able to scale to large and small organizations and projects effortlessly. The entry price tiers include enough powerful tools to help small teams organize their work better and the higher tiers add in powerful integrations from full company SSO and advanced AI tools. Asana is critical to my work and I even use a personal license for my own day to day life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that too much is locked until you hit the Enterprise level. Enterprise type things like SSO integration and even resource management makes sense to have only at the top level but I would like to see global admin privileges and useful org management tools like this at the Advanced level to allow smaller teams with one PM managing all projects to have more control and ability to update project fields and create global rules for the org.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allows my team to stay connected and communicate at the task level which helps to avoid confusion. The ability to update a project status on the project page for all to see reduces one off questions and keeps the team informed without more meetings. Once you find what works best for your team it is easy to create templates and rules that take away hours of manual task moving, status updates and task assignment.
Great Clarity and Simplicity in Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana to manage client projects, which helps keep them on track and my team aligned on deliverables. I like that it gives me an overall picture of our projects and performance in one place and allows me to share this with relevant team members and clients. It makes it easy to find information on past projects. I like the fact that everyone is clear on where they stand and what they have to do. It's also very easy to use. The Task creation and allocation feature is the crux of what we do. It helps keep people focused and ensures timely delivery. I also like some of the automation features that allow you to set rules. Having used Monday.com and Trello before, I found Asana offers much better clarity and simplicity. The initial setup was fairly straightforward and didn't take long before we felt native. New users I onboard seem to have no issues either.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be useful to be able to assign tasks to multiple people (or groups). At the moment, as I assign the task to one person, it rests on that one person to deliver, but sometimes it could be a team responsible for that one task and any member can deliver. There are ways round this currently, but I think it could be improved.

Happy Daily Asana User
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana daily and appreciate how easy it is to navigate. The customization options, especially the ability to add custom fields to tasks, are fantastic.

The rainbow unicorn that pops up when completing tasks is a delightful extra touch.
What do you dislike about the product?
From my perspective, there are very few downsides. One limitation is that you cannot assign a task to more than one person, even though you can add multiple collaborators to a task. In certain situations, having the ability to assign a task to multiple people would be useful.

Keeps Our Team Accountable and Organized Effortlessly
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Asana Teams is how it allows our team to clearly see what needs to be done and which tasks we are responsible for. It really helps us stay accountable, and there’s something so satisfying about checking off completed tasks. I also love the seamless design on mobile, tablet, and desktop!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when supervisors don’t receive notifications after we add notes. I’m not sure if this is due to a connection issue on our end, but it does occur. It would also be helpful if we could get confirmation when a supervisor has seen our note—that would be great.

I don’t have to be on the phone as much. And it makes meetings more substantial because we don’t have to waste time on talking through tasks
