"Steep Learning Curve, Functional but Complex"
3/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I like Asana all right, especially now that I've gotten past the hard learning curve. I appreciate that it has not just checklists but also a board view. Asana's board view makes it pretty similar to Trello, which is important to me as a visual kinetic learner because drag and drop functionality is crucial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

It's too complicated for what it is. You shouldn't need to go consult a YouTube video or dig through endless documentation just to figure out how to create a new tag, for example. It just needs to function more simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asana Keeps Teams Aligned with an Intuitive, Visual Workflow"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

What I like best about Asana is how it makes it easy to organize and track work in a clear, visual way that keeps teams aligned without needing constant check-ins. Its UI is intuitive with multiple views like lists and boards, integrations with tools like Slack and Google Workspace are smooth, and performance is generally fast and reliable even with larger projects. It offers strong ROI for teams managing complex workflows since it reduces missed tasks and improves accountability, onboarding is straightforward with helpful templates and guidance, and its AI features add value by helping summarize tasks and streamline planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

What I dislike about Asana is that it can feel overwhelming at first because of the number of features and views, and some advanced capabilities are locked behind higher pricing tiers. While it’s powerful, it can also become cluttered if teams don’t maintain structure, and its AI features are still somewhat limited compared to more specialized tools.

"Asana powers our workday success"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I love being able to build quick project plans from templates and assign my teammates so everyone knows what they're responsible for.

Celebrations in Asana make you excited to check things off and keep pushing for the finish line.

Rules help automate the project management so I can spend more time finishing tasks and less time managing the project settings. The addition of AI logic within rules has supercharged our projects and workflows and enabled automated features that were previously manual saving our staff a considerable amount of time.

The rollout of Work Week so tasks don't assign on the weekends have been great. Asana is constantly improving, not staying stagnant, and listening to it's user base.

Asana's Academy and recent certifications have made onboarding new staff a breeze and those badges look great on LinkedIn :)

When we create a task, a project, a rule in Asana, it's high speed, we don't have to worry about frequent outages like other tools. And when there was a recent outage of another outside tool that impacted Asana, the Asana app works on a computer without a wifi signal, so we could all keep working and when it was reconnected, boom, we were all set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

We moved to an Enterprise plan a couple of years ago and not long after, they added another Enterprise plan and some of the items we'd joined for moved up into that higher bracket. I wish there was more availability in our legacy Enterprise plan for some security settings and app settings.

Aside from that, I LOVE everything about Asana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asana Makes Task Organization Effortless at Work and at Home"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is an extremely user-friendly application that is perfect for organizing and breaking down tasks. I use Asana both in my personal and work life. At home, my partner and I easily make tasks for each other which holds us accountable and allows us space to provide all of the details without rely on info-dumping to each other and remembering. At work, I have many duties that repeat at regular intervals and involve multiple steps, so making use of the recurring and subtask features has saved me so much time, effort, and energy.

I'm aware of many integrations, though I don't personally utilize them. There have been only a few times I've ever seen Asana be "down" and most of those were datacenter-related rather than on Asana's end.

Purchasing at least the first tier is essential for access to custom fields and rules for automation. The price is well worth the amount of brainpower those will save you.

Between Asana's official help articles and community forums, I have been able to accomplish much of what I'd hoped to and more.

I haven't had the need or desire to explore the AI capabilities, but I'm aware they are there should I want to explore them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I wish more of the community-voted ideas would be implemented timely. Many of them seem relatively simple, like formatting in task titles (bold, underline, color, etc.).

The focus on AI teammates is a bit off-putting as I find it unreliable and missing the point of collaborating with actual humans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enhances Team Visibility and Accountability"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I really like that with Asana, everything or at least much of what I'm working on is visibly seen amongst the team. The ability to submit travel requests and request certificates of insurance is convenient. I can create projects where team members have access to forms and provide the information I need, which is really helpful. Asana assigning tasks instead of someone sending a Slack message is great, as it prevents me from forgetting tasks later. It increases my visibility and accountability for tasks I'm working on. I appreciate Asana's seamless integration with the cloud and how that makes my job easier. I'm also fond of how Asana's rules and automations might eventually help me with tasks like sending invoices when a contract is signed. I find it quite user-friendly; it only took a couple of days for me to feel comfortable with the system despite not being involved in the setup, which speaks volumes about its ease of use.

"Customizable Workflows and AI Make Tasks Easier to Find"
4/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I like that I can customize how I organize projects and apply specific rules to workflows. I'm also able to organize my own tasks and prioritize projects outside of my organizations. I also love the new AI feature that has made previous tasks easier to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I find it hard to find tasks using the search function and it's easy to lose track of tasks. If the overall organization isn't onboard with a cohesive structure on how Asana is used, then it can become a dumping ground for tasks and to-do's and is hard to keep organized. I also wish that there were more custom edit capabilities like changing text color, or adding highlights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Nonprofit Grant Management with Asana"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I use Asana for my nonprofit grant management, and it helps me organize everything in one place. It's great for working remotely with my colleague, allowing us to notify each other of different projects and deadlines easily. I also like how user-friendly Asana is; I didn't have to do much training to get started, which is important as we don't have much time or staff to integrate new software. For the price we pay, the time savings we gain are amazing. Asana is much more efficient and valuable than managing grants with Excel spreadsheets. It's also useful for keeping track of information from past grant applications year by year. The dashboard I see when I first log in every day is very useful and easy to navigate. Setting up Asana was easy, and while it was time consuming to gather all my information, it wasn't hard to input it into Asana. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I think that there could be more functionality around the ways I am able to sort or group my projects and tasks. I would like to be able to categorize my grants by where they are in the application process and group them, or something similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asana Keeps Teams Aligned with Clear Project Visibility and Efficient Workflows"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

What I like most about Asana is how it keeps everyone aligned and organized. It provides clear visibility into projects, makes task ownership simple to track, strengthens collaboration across teams, and reduces confusion around deadlines and priorities. The different project views and automations also help make workflows more efficient, smoother to run, and easier to manage overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

What we dislike about Asana is that it can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially on larger projects with lots of tasks and notifications. Keeping boards and tasks up to date takes consistent discipline from everyone, and without that, information can quickly become outdated or confusing. It can also be hard to customize certain workflows, and some features feel more complicated than they need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Project Management with Powerful Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I use Asana for daily project management and really like its intuitive interface with powerful workflow automation. The ability to switch seamlessly between List, Board, and Timeline views gives me clear visibility into project progress. I also appreciate features like custom intake forms, automated task assignment rules, and AI-powered reporting that cut down on manual work. Plus, the integrations with Slack, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Teams keep our team connected and aligned in one central hub. The initial setup was easy and straightforward, and Asana's user-friendly design and pre-built project templates made onboarding quick. We were able to start working in minutes, without complex technical configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

While Asana is great for general project management, managing very complex projects with extensive task dependencies can sometimes become visually cluttered and hard to navigate. Additionally, the pricing model can be restrictive for scaling teams. It would be a huge improvement if Asana offered more flexible, tiered seat options—such as lower-cost 'view-only' seats—so external stakeholders or casual team members can track progress without requiring full-price licenses.

"Powerful Automations, Easy Project Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I love the automations in Asana and how easy they are to implement. When working with multiple team members, automations help streamline task assignments and follow-ups. Simply assigning a task to a user can automatically generate follow-up tasks, set due dates based on that user’s timeline, and keep projects moving efficiently.

Asana is a powerful platform for project management and team collaboration, and the initial setup was straightforward. It integrates seamlessly with my favorite tools, such as Google Drive and Clockify, making it easy for my team to work asynchronously and stay aligned.

The layout is extremely intuitive, creating a fast learning curve while still delivering robust functionality. The platform runs smoothly and reliably, allowing my team to stay productive without interruptions.

The support team was also excellent, making onboarding quick and seamless. Overall, Asana delivers outstanding value for its price, saving our team far more in productivity and work hours than the cost of the subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Interaction between different workspaces would be great. Having different teams from different workspaces, working with each other, a more dynamic interaction between workspaces would be very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
