Asana Reviews & Product Details

I use Asana for tracking projects for individuals and teams, and I find it really useful for easier and more transparent tracking. I like how it makes audits simpler and helps with showcasing and demonstrating for ELT. The ability to add screenshots, end dates, and expected dates to tasks is great. It makes tracking time spent on projects straightforward. Simple reporting and easy tracking of team goals are features I enjoy. These features save time, reduce confusion, and keep work moving smoothly. The screenshots add clarity, and end dates contribute to accountability. The initial setup was pretty easy because their documentation is almost perfect. Their customer support has been consistently reliable and they provided clear guidance and constant support during integration, as we use Asana on daily basis to help us in tracking day to day tasks.

Honestly I have had a great experience overall. If I had to point out a couple of downsides, it can occasionally feel a bit slow with larger projects, and some of the more advanced features are locked behind higher pricing tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Asana, there are lots of ways to organize projects, tasks, and lists. I like this because if you are more visual, there's an option for that. If you prefer lists, there's a way to view projects like that instead. If you want smaller tasks that bubble up to more significant projects, you can make that work. It's easier to work with your team, who all have different ways of looking at their to-dos, and all manage them together. Excellent for collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the flexibility and style options, it's hard to get a clear picture of what a team is doing as a whole and who is responsible for what for lower-level tasks and projects. But that's more of a comment on teams than it is on Asana! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The workspace is very user-friendly, More than that, I like the way how you can congratulate the employee on completing the task - you get the emotional icons to appear, you can share the appreciation. FOr the daily work Asana is a great tool due to private and team projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of ability to track daily progress - task have pretty long deadlines, and the reporting for long-term distance is great, short-term projects could be reflected better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New AI integration offer better insights and saves time.

Recently, I’ve been making the most of Asana’s upgraded AI Teammates. Now I am able to pass on boring stuff—like risk reports or multilingual searches—to the AI while only focusing on the parts of web dev and marketing I truly enjoy. It’s a real time-saver.

The Timesheets & Budgets add-on? Honestly, it’s made tracking client hours and expenses way less of a headache. I don’t need to juggle a bunch of spreadsheets anymore, which feels like a small miracle.

And those new Role-Based Access Control updates? They’re a big step up for admin security, especially while I’m experimenting with team setups for things like WhatsApp API and SaaS projects. It feels like everything just clicks into place now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asana really needs to allow users assign a task to more than one person. Right now, you’re stuck picking just one, which slows things down when teams are working together—especially on web development or marketing projects. People end up creating subtasks or other workarounds, which just adds clutter.

Customer support could use a serious upgrade, too. Users often complain about slow replies, chatbots that don’t actually help, and getting the runaround with refunds. When you hit a snag with something like the WhatsApp API integration, you want real help, not more headaches.

It would also help if Asana had built-in time tracking and didn’t lag when you switch between views. Those fixes would make everyday work a lot smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've started using dashboards and other features in projects and the automation feature for turning tasks in a seperate backlog project, to then action and assign the task once put in the main project. With Asana's AI, it helps break down big tasks into smaller achieveable ones making it much easier to progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intergrations are key to our scaling business, and right now the Google Workspace intergration can be a little wonky. Attaching emails or refering them in tasks is key to anyone who doesnt have the whole company in Asana, or people less familliar with task managers and still email requests. I think with another look at the intergration, and with Asana AI to help flesh them out, would be super helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI assistance with creating status updates on projects and custom rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to fully discount weekends when a due date is assigned via a rule, subtasks are not added to a project by default, the inability to duplicate entire sections Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Asana as part of my daily work managing technology projects at MAXIA Inc., and it has become one of the tools I rely on the most to keep things organized and moving forward. What I appreciate the most is how clearly it allows me to structure projects—breaking down large initiatives into manageable tasks, assigning responsibilities, and tracking progress in a way that the whole team can easily understand. In complex tech projects where multiple teams are involved, that level of clarity makes a big difference.

Another thing that stands out to me is how Asana helps maintain visibility across the project lifecycle. Instead of constantly asking for updates, I can quickly see where things stand, what’s pending, and what might become a bottleneck. This has been particularly useful when coordinating with developers, analysts, and stakeholders who all have different priorities but need to stay aligned. The ability to comment directly on tasks and keep discussions attached to the work itself also saves a lot of time and reduces the noise of long email threads.

Overall, Asana fits very naturally into the way I manage projects. It doesn’t feel like an extra layer of administration; rather, it supports the workflow we already have. For me, it’s not just about tracking tasks—it’s about having a shared space where the team can stay focused, accountable, and coordinated as we move projects from planning to delivery.

While I generally enjoy working with Asana, one challenge I’ve noticed appears when projects grow significantly during execution. In technology projects, it’s quite common for scope and requirements to evolve, and when the number of tasks and subtasks increases a lot, it can become harder to quickly review dependencies and keep everything aligned with the original objectives that were defined at the beginning of the project.

Another aspect that sometimes makes things a bit more difficult is navigating very large project boards. When there are many tasks, sections, and conversations happening at the same time, finding specific information or understanding the overall structure can take more time than expected. It’s manageable, but it does require discipline from the team to maintain a clear structure and keep tasks updated consistently.

Asana offers many features, there are moments when managing complex dependencies or long-term planning across multiple projects could be more intuitive. In large programs where several initiatives are interconnected, it can take additional effort to visualize the full picture and ensure everything remains aligned. Even so, these challenges are manageable, and with good project organization, Asana still provides strong support for day-to-day project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asana remains an excellent project management tool, making cross-team collaboration easy on a platform with extensive customization options. I also appreciate how it consistently updates and adds new features, something I value highly in any product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asana is a powerful project management tool, though there is a learning curve for new users. Like many platforms, certain features are limited by payment tier, which can be frustrating. Support has often been slow when I’ve submitted requests, and the lack of an offline mode can also be inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I really like about Asana is how it keeps everything organized in one place. The timeline view and task dependencies make it much easier to understand how projects are progressing and what needs attention next. I also appreciate the automation features that reduce repetitive work, like automatically assigning tasks or setting due dates. Overall, Asana helps teams stay aligned and saves time that would otherwise be spent in meetings or tracking updates manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where Asana could improve is pricing, as the monthly cost can be higher compared to some other project management tools. It would also be helpful if tasks could be assigned to multiple team members at the same time. In many projects, the same task often involves more than one person, so allowing multiple assignees would make collaboration easier and more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've really appreciated the upgrade in Asana that allowed us to use portfolios. It's made us more organized and ensures that things are in the right places. We've also been using the dual homing feature a lot, which has been incredibly useful for cross-functional work between teams. And the forms! We've been using the forms with the option to have multiple branches off of forms when asking certain questions, which has been really useful. Specifically for portfolios, they're great for organizing and maintaining all account management tasks across different product levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be useful if there was a better AI version of asking questions within Asana that gives you actionable answers instead of attaching to an article or something. We use HubSpot a lot, and HubSpot has a great AI tool that if you ask it a question, it tells you exactly how to do the thing you're trying to do. And that's become really useful in HubSpot. And I think Asana could use that. One thing I would say is that with Asana forms, I haven't figured out a way to be able to add photos and then have those photos become a part of the task. Maybe that's user error, but the Jotform has been much easier, and the presentation of the form if we're using it externally, has been better for Jotform. Also, most of our team is not very well versed in Asana. I've taken on the role of learning Asana as much as I can, and that's been a lot of trial and error. It is a bit of a rough start, and there's definitely different levels and learning gaps currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
