What I like most about Asana is the ability to manage my projects in one space with plenty of room for notes, links, updates, messaging to others, and organizational features such as grouping projects and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asana is designed to adhere to the foundational principles of productivity (personal triage, single-list, automation, keeping track of open-loops, etc.) , while giving your teams the customization and automations that are needed to build systems and manage big projects. The end result is that work gets done faster (more seamlessly / more easily / with less frustration), which is better for everyone. Asana is the every-day tool.

Our marketing team functions like an in-house public relations, events planning and marketing agency for a large nonprofit. We take and process requests from multiple departments, some with short turnaround and some with longevity. Some projects also have extensive outside vendor involvment. Being able to bring all of those moving parts under one umbrella to collaborate across teams, and even outside of our organization with partner vendors to stay on track with projects, provide real-time feedback and edits, and meet deadlines has been simply incredible. Before organization-wide adoption of Asana, this would've involved countless email changes, notebooks, and a myriad of spreadsheets, and files all over the place. Trying to keep things straight--especially during the height of our very busy fundraising campaign season was a nightmare before we had the task management system that Asana provides to us.

There is a fairly easy learning curve with Asana; the one thing that is hard for me is to remember to use it consistently. Also -- I dont think there is a phone app? I'm not sure about that. If there is, I need to try it out. If there isn't, then it would be helpful to have one. I just need to find out if there is a phone app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At its core, Asana is simple, which is great! However, for those who are new to the tool (or arena of task-team management tools), they have a hard time envisioning how they are to use it. We have orientation for each team-member and they often get excited but they still don't necessarily know how to best implement the tool. I call this the "spreadsheet-conundrum." Spreadsheets can be vastly intricate and helpful, or they can be simple, but the average user doesn't really know how to get from simple cells to complex systems, unless they have seen multiple iterations and spent good time with the tool. In other words, Asana has a learning curve, and that curve is partially set by the organization who uses the tool. It's a complex situation that is helped by Asana resources, but is solved primarily at the organizational level. The challenge is worthwhile for EVERY TEAM, but for some the challenge will push them back for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not really a tool problem. But we organizationally have had some challenges with individual teams or departments who have been slower to adapt or implement Asana into their work flow. This has presented challenges at times in keeping things moving along as you'd like when others aren't in the system checking for progress and responding to requests as needed. I do think the inbox feature could be improved a bit. Sometimes it gets so cluttered it's hard to find what's new and needs your attention now--especially if you're coming back from being out of the office for any extended period of time. I don't have any strong feelings about what would make this better, I can only share that sometimes it's been tough to weed through and find what I'm looking for.

Asana is used by our organization to keep track of tasks and to manage product features to be implemented in the software. It is also used to assign tasks to other people and maintain a monthly task calendar. It is used across the whole organization. It solves the business program of managing people and the product at the same time i.e. project management.
Asana does organizing and keeping track of tasks really well. It has smart views which allow you to see and customize a smart view for tasks such as recently completed, sort by deadline, sort by assignee etc. Asana does a good job of allowing people to collaborate. The fact that I can comment and ask question on other people's task is very helpful to me. This removes the need of multiple emails in a way that everyone in the organization or part of the team can see it. Being able to add attachment is also really helpful. Asana does an incredible job of setting privacy and securing my tasks such that tasks in one team of the organization cannot be viewed by others. I can decide to make it publis or private. This is very useful as it allows me to keep tasks secure and effective at the same time.

At our company, we use Asana to manage all of our marketing and development projects and tasks. The platform is also used company wide to manage SOPs, interview process, on-boarding, bug-tracking, client relations, and AB test tracking, employee vacation tracking and more. It has helped us consolidate communication and reduce email overload by keeping relevant conversation and project artifacts in a single place with easy access and retrieval. It has streamlined our communication and collaboration on projects.
Full customizability - Asana does not force you to use their specific method of project management; instead, it allows you to customize the platform to meet your or your company's specific workflow. DRI - Asana does go by the concept of having one Directly Responsible Individual per task, which helps eliminate confusion. Extensibility - many other tools plug into Asana, allowing us to do things like consolidate a list of SOP's as Asana tasks with Google Docs links. We are also able to use plugins to track project and team member productivity and activity.

I am a web designer/developer and I work with various clients and numerous web projects. Asana allows us to identify tasks that need completed and to have a discussion about those tasks so that we make sure we are on the same page. It is also very helpful for documenting discussions and agreements.
Creating tasks - it is easy to list what needs to be done. Setting due dates - it is also easy to list when those tasks should be done. It also reminds you when due dates are approaching. Discussion of tasks - it is easy to maintain a comment thread on those tasks.

We had the best if hopes and dreams for Asana - as a time based business with many repetitive tasks we were so excited to find Asasna - each task, converts to billable time (or time against a flat fee contract). Often we work on multiple clients' single tasks
Support is not available via voice No decent integration into time and billing Too vertical a product

We are rolling out Asana across most of our organization, in an attempt to improve collaboration and manage all the new products and projects being created on a daily basis.
Lots of "gotchas" in their pricing and contracts Poor onboarding General lack of concern about their customers

Asana is used in my department to manage projects. We use it to assign individual tasks, follow project templates, and generate team management information. We selected ASANA a few years ago as a value-for-money task management software suitable for smaller organizations with the ambition to grow. This is how we evaluate our experience to date.

Overall: Asana is a great project management too - if you can be bothered to open and check it everyday. I'm not entirely sure what it is about Asana, but in 3 of my previous 4 roles that used Asana, we abandoned it within a month. There's just something about it (maybe visually?) that does not keep us coming back. Perhaps it's the way we're using it, but then again, I wouldn't want to spend ages learning how to make it perfect. Basically, its okay if you can stick with it.

Overall: Really excellent from start to finish, it syncs easily with our Google calendar workspaces, our time tracking softwares, it has helped our business grow, get organised and far more efficient. It's invaluable and we love it also from a personal organisation point of view now as well as professionally.

Communication online is a must for our company and industry. We have a in-house team yet after a restructuring of our company a lot of the people I worked with directly became remote. Before discovering Asana, we used other tools but they always lacked something - be in integrations, interface or simple buttons. Under Asana, our collaboration has become much more easy to manage, and visualize. Creating lists and sharing projects with others is super easy, not to mention the amount of third part...

Asana is ok for small simple projects. But for big projects forget it. I had a project with about 90 items and then about 10-20 subitems in each one. If someone checks the main item done, you assume all the subitems are done, but they are not. You have to go through each item one by one and look at all the sub items to see if they are checked off or not. Because the main item can be checked off but the subitems not checked off. Making it totally worthless unless you want to spend hours go...

Allows for a much better organization of work and offers many interesting and comfortable features that make it easier to control work progress. Very nice design as well. It is a good alternative to many expensive softwares.

It's the only project management tool which enables a task to be in multiple projects, which makes it very useful for coordinating different teams or relate different otherwise separated tasks.
