"Versatile Project Management with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I like that Asana can be used very simply or in very sophisticated ways, making it adaptable to different needs. The different views are valuable because they allow me to look at project work from various angles, which helps facilitate different conversations with the appropriate presentation of information. I find rules to be very powerful and useful, although they require careful use. Additionally, the initial setup of Asana was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

For someone doing a lot of project scheduling, the Gantt view is essential, and it is not as convenient to use as Microsoft Project used to be. In particular, dependencies and start/due dates need to work more smoothly together. Moving a task forward in time does move its successors forward (if configured), but moving backwards leaves successors in place, and creates a gap that needs to be closed by manual movement. On a large project schedule, that is a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clear Ownership, Flexible Views, and Smooth Cross-Team Collaboration"
4/5
What do you like best about Asana?

Clear task ownership: every task can have one owner, so responsibility is obvious.

Good visibility: projects, sections, timelines, and boards make work easy to track.

Strong collaboration: comments, attachments, mentions, and status updates stay in one place.

Flexible views: list, board, timeline, and calendar support different working styles.

Subtasks and dependencies: useful for breaking work down and showing what blocks what.

Good for cross-team coordination: marketing, ops, product, and IT can work in the same system.

Automation: recurring tasks, rules, and notifications reduce manual follow-up.

Portfolio and reporting features: helpful for managers tracking multiple projects.

Integrations: works with Slack, Teams, Google Drive, Outlook, and many other tools.

Clean interface: easier adoption compared with heavier project management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

Can become messy fast if teams do not follow standards.

Reporting is decent, but not always deep enough for advanced analytics.

Complex projects can feel harder to model than in Jira or MS Project.

Dependency and timeline features are useful, but not always enough for heavy project management.

Too many notifications can create noise.

Subtasks and task relationships can become confusing in large projects.

Limited native support for very technical workflows like code/release management.

Automation is useful, but more advanced logic may need paid plans or external tools.

Permissions and governance can feel limited in some scenarios.

Users may treat it like a chat tool and avoid keeping fields structured.

Search is helpful, but finding the exact thing is not always perfect in large workspaces.

Pricing can become significant as the team grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Collaboration and Task Management Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

I like using Asana for task and project management as well as collaboration with multiple departments on daily and project-based work. I appreciate the organizational tools and the ability to look back at history for decision-making as well as the prioritization of tasks and project collaboration. One of the best features is the rules in projects, which save me time. Using Claude with Asana is incredibly powerful, as it can post comments, review tasks, create projects, subtasks, and main tasks, which speeds up my time tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I'm having a problem with emailing, forwarding, and firewall issues. We try to automatically forward emails from Outlook to Asana, and Asana's firewall blocks it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Emails connected with Asana and reminders that keep everything in order"
4/5
What do you like best about Asana?

Connect the emails with Asana, have everything in order. The reminders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

When there are many projects, I feel it looks disorganized. It would be good if the structure were like a DRIVE where the main folder names appear in the left bar. Because in the left bar, all the projects appear, and sometimes there are so many that you lose track.

Sometimes with so many projects, one misses deadlines. I don't know if reminders could arrive on the phone or something else. Because sometimes with so much going on, one forgets to check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Real-Time Project Boards That Save Our Small Team Hours"
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

It is great for our small marketing team to stay on top of projects. The board view makes it easy to see all of the tasks in one view.

I was able to draft code in Claude to create a recurring list of tasks, which I then imported into Asana to build out a series of projects in minutes.

The desktop app is seamless and updates in real time.

It is affordable for small businesses and more than pays for itself in time saved.

I have not had to use Support because it is so intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

To be honest, I haven't found a downside to Asana. It works nicely within our needs and keeps us on task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asana Keeps Tasks, Timelines Perfectly Aligned."
5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is helpful in structuring the execution part because it organizes the task, timeline, and owner in a system. There are various views, including the ability to see the task in a list, board, timeline, and calendar. Dependencies, milestones, and real-time updates make the system highly visible. Thus, the team is always on the same page without the need for follow-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

The answer depends on the structuring of the workspace. If the workspace is not well structured, the system will not perform well. In addition, the system is limited when using the advanced reporting and automation features, which require a higher tier than the basic plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overview of a project while its in motion"
3/5
What do you like best about Asana?

What I like most about Asana is that we can comment and check in directly within the program. We assign projects to the whole team, so everyone knows what others are working on and what needs to happen next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

I wish I were an expert at organizing in Asana. I can easily get overwhelmed by all the tasks assigned to me each day, and I often find myself reaching for a pen and paper just to clear my head and figure out what needs to be done right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

The fact that my entire team is able to work together even when working remotely. This means that everyone can be on the same page about projects.

The fact that everything happens instantly is amazing as well. The performance is great. People are kept up to date on items in real time. The AI tools are also great because it helps streamline a lot of the work. This has definitely helped our team stay on track, boosting product completion and impacting our overall ROI.

"Best Tool for Keeping Ownership Perfectly Organized."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asana?

Asana is good for keeping tasks, timelines, and owner information well-structured and organized in a single place. The board, list, and timeline views are good for managing different types of work based on the team’s needs. This helps in tracking and keeping everyone aware of what needs to be done and by whom, which is helpful in avoiding confusion during task execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

The reporting feature is not so strong for basic plans and needs to be upgraded to a high-tier plan for better reporting capabilities. The automation capabilities are not very strong compared to other tools. The tool also gets messy if not well-organized due to a high number of tasks and lack of proper tagging and organization of workspaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
