I like that everything is in one place, so I don't have to go searching all over. It helps me track everything and make a to-do list, and when I update something, my whole team is updated at once. It keeps me on top of my game and helps me meet better deadlines. I like it better than other stuff I've used, and it rivals Smartsheet pretty well. The initial setup was very easy, like extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have a problem with it, but I can see how Asana could feel like a lot to manage at first. There's a lot on the screen, and for people who aren't familiar with software it can look overwhelming. Once you take it piece by piece and know where the buttons are, it's fine.

I like Asana because it makes project and task management simple and transparent. It’s easy to organise work, assign ownership, track progress and deadlines, and keep communication connected to the relevant tasks. The interface is intuitive, and features like project views, timelines and task dependencies make it particularly useful for managing cross-functional projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside for me is that some features can take a bit of time to get used to, especially when setting up more complex projects. The number of options can sometimes make the interface feel a little busy, and I think the reporting and customisation could be more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Asana is how it combines organization, visibility, and accountability in one platform. The interface is easy to navigate, and I regularly use tasks, subtasks, due dates, assignees, custom fields, dashboards, and different project views to keep track of multiple responsibilities. I especially like being able to build repeatable workflows for processes such as recruiting, employee onboarding, and project management. Asana also offers integrations with tools such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, which helps reduce the need to constantly switch between platforms.

Performance has also been a major benefit. Having projects, deadlines, responsibilities, and updates centralized makes it much faster to determine where something stands. Instead of searching through emails or manually updating several spreadsheets, I can quickly identify completed work, outstanding tasks, and potential delays. This has improved both my productivity and my ability to provide timely updates to leadership.

From a pricing and ROI perspective, I think the value becomes more noticeable when Asana is being used across a team rather than simply as an individual task list. The paid plans provide additional workflow, reporting, automation, and AI capabilities, and Asana structures paid subscriptions according to the plan level and number of seats. For me, the return comes from the administrative time saved, improved accountability, and having fewer disconnected processes.

Support and onboarding have been helpful as well. Asana provides a detailed Help Center with tutorials, visual instructions, best practices, and step-by-step guidance, along with the ability to request assistance from its support team. The platform can also be used to create structured employee onboarding projects, which is particularly valuable from an HR perspective because paperwork, training, responsibilities, and progress can be managed in one place.

I also appreciate the growing AI capabilities. Features such as Smart Summaries, Smart Status, Smart Fields, and other AI-assisted tools can reduce repetitive administrative work and make it easier to identify important updates or next steps.

Overall, what I like most is that Asana helps me spend less time figuring out where the work stands and more time actually moving the work forward. That combination of organization, performance, integrations, support, automation, and visibility is where I see the most value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about Asana is that there can be a learning curve when you first start exploring the more advanced features. Basic task management is straightforward, but learning how to fully use automations, rules, reporting, custom fields, dashboards, and more complex workflows takes additional time. This is also a commonly reported concern among Asana users.

I also think pricing can become a concern as a team grows, particularly because some of the more advanced reporting, workload management, and workflow capabilities require higher-tier plans.

Another area that could be improved is notification management. When you're involved in several projects, notifications can accumulate quickly, which can make it harder to distinguish routine updates from items that actually require immediate attention.

Overall, these aren't issues that outweigh the benefits for me. I think Asana is a powerful platform, but simpler onboarding for advanced features, more flexibility in lower-priced plans, and better control over notifications would make the experience even better.

The backend design of Asana makes it really powerful, flexible tool that can handle a vast number of use cases. There's a lot of out of the box integrations with most common software tools (Microsoft, Google, PowerBI etc) and the API is well built and documented so that custom integrations are possible.

Support from Asana directly can be limited and sometimes slow to respond, but they have developed a strong partner network so that customers can access support when needed.

UI is quite simple, projects can be as complex or straightforward as you need to make them.

I think Asana AI Studio is a powerful and reliable tool and Teammates is coming along really well.

The new tables feature is going to close a lot of gaps in terms of AI integrations and storing reference data in a meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some product quirks and limitations that take some getting used to, but as someone with a lot of experience in Project Management/Work Management software, I've not found any dealbreakers to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Asana helps me see what’s going on with other teams and keep track of action items for me and the people who report to me. I can tag people in different projects, and I like having both public and private features for the things I want to track. It’s a one-stop shop I can check in the morning, and I find it very user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t say there’s much that doesn’t work well, but sometimes I can go down a rabbit hole with too many color-coordinated tags and tiny details, and it can feel like a bit too much. As someone relatively new to Asana, those advanced features can be a little intimidating or confusing. I wouldn’t necessarily change them, but there could be better education on how to use them for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Asana provides multiple templates to choose from, which helps in various project management flows. It's very visually appealing, which is great for visual learners and keeps people engaged, especially during project planning. I appreciate the ability to check off tasks once completed and the convenience of sharing documents with both internal and external clients and colleagues. I find it easy to select the right project template for any project I’m leading. Compared to other tools I’ve tried like monday.com and Smartsheet, I feel like my experience with Asana has been all good. Setting it up was really easy without any troubleshooting.

I think getting people to start using Asana has been one of the initial challenges. But once I actually introduced the tool and showed all the benefits of it, people seem to be pretty excited on getting on board with using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we take on freelance design requests from a bunch of different clients and used to get requests through email, texts, sometimes just a phone call with someone talking fast while I scribbled notes. Built an intake form in Asana now, client fills it out, and it creates a task with all the details already there, deadline, budget, what they actually want. No more piecing together a project from three different conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Got a little carried away adding fields to the form early on, ended up with something so long a couple clients just stopped halfway through filling it out. Had to trim it down after realising that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Asana is the Timeline view. It allows me to visualize project deadlines and dependencies clearly. When I adjust one task, all related tasks update automatically, which saves me hours of manual work. I also love the custom fields feature, as it lets me track progress exactly how my team needs. The ability to create different project views (List, Board, Calendar, Timeline) makes it flexible for any workflow. The task assignment and due date reminders keep everyone accountable.

Overall, Asana has significantly improved our team's productivity and communication, making it easy to manage multiple projects simultaneously without missing deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main dislike is the mobile app. It feels slower and less responsive compared to the desktop version. Many features, like advanced search and reporting, are either limited or missing on the phone, which makes it hard to stay productive when I'm not at my desk. Also, the notification system can be overwhelming, as it sends too many alerts for every small update.

I wish there were more filtering options for notifications to reduce the noise. Another area for improvement is the learning curve for new team members; the interface has so many features that it can be confusing at first, and the onboarding tutorials could be more helpful.

The portfolio view is what genuinely changed how we operate. I can see every active campaign across the team on one screen, instead of opening ten different projects just to check status. Before, I was pinging four people every Monday simply to piece everything together.

The rules feature helps too. I set it up so that when tasks move to “Ready to review,” they’re automatically assigned to our design lead, rather than me having to remember to tag her every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Custom fields get messy once you have got a lot of them. We have got leftover fields from an old process nobody uses anymore, and cleaning that up keeps sliding down the priority list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I rely on several different teams to provide me with access, source files, etc. But I had often lost sight of who owed me what. I have created a folder within My Tasks called 'Waiting on others' with dates on each task. This helped me last month, as I had a request for access to a source system that had been sitting there for 3 weeks. On Friday I saw this was the oldest task, so I escalated it and I got it sorted the following day. If it had gone into my inbox, I would have forgotten about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My Tasks is personal, so my manager can’t see what I’m waiting on unless I add them as a follower. Some items also exist twice, because our sprint work lives in another tool, and I have to keep both lists matching by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
