The starter house of project managment software
I've used Asana for 7 or 8 years and I've never had a bad experience, It's always been good. But the limitations are usually what turns me away
Pros
I love how easy it is to share projects on there, and one of my favorite features is having a template which can be applied to any project
Cons
The limitations as an intitee on a team account

Indispensable tool for larger projects
I used Asana for various projects in private and business context. Especially in larger teams or teams with agile workflow Asana is a huge help.
Pros
Easy project management with a variety of tools that support with planning and tracking. Easy collaboration and nice views for better insights in current status and ongoing tasks. The comment sections makes it easy to ask questions to other team members.
Cons
Free plan has some limitations. Unfortunately, they discontinued the "free for students" offer. This is a huge drawback since I used to teach my students some advanced aspects of project management using Asana Premium features as an example.

I Truly Tried
Honesty, I have tried 4 different times to like Asana. I was originally introduced to it through a job, and had no control over the setup, look or functioning. It felt cumbersome and inefficient. First impression, hated it. About a year and a half later, I was reintroduced to it, also in a work/team setting. I learned a little more, and was still not a fan. Attempt #3 was on my own. I found a training class and took it, thinking that the more that I knew about the functioning, I would probably like it better. I did, a little bit, but by then I had been introduced to Trello, and Asana did not measure up. I'm currently using it again in a work/team manner, and have come to accept it. I still don't love it based on a few features (for example, if someone assigns me a task, but hasn't tagged what project it is, I am flying blind), but I have, for the most part, learned it and accept it in situations where I don't get to choose.
One feature that I absolutely LOVE about Asana though is contingent tasks. If, for example, I'm waiting for a certain contract addendum, I can put that in as a task, and when it comes in and I click the "completed" button, the next task (that couldn't have been done without the first) shows up. Of course, this is something that has to be set up when the project is created, but it is VERY handy as I'm working my way through.
Pros
Dependent tasks (contingencies). This feature is brilliant.
Cons
Very bland, not hard to use, but not easy, either.

The best way to get your projects done!
The best way to make projects look like a game. You have a nice animations when you complete a task and it really makes doing work more fun.
Pros
The best thing is the free version for small teams. If you are starting your business or you have a smaller team it is the best. Great way to experience how things work.
Cons
From start it was a bit tricky to navigate between free and paid options.

Good for teams, a little bit overwhelming
Asana works well for team projects, keeps things organized, but can feel a bit much at times. Good for bigger projects, but maybe overkill for simpler stuff
Pros
I like how easy it is to track projects and see who's doing what. The layout is simple and it keeps everything in one place. Makes teamwork less messy
Cons
Can get a little bit overwhelming with too many tasks and notifications. Sometimes it feels like more work just managing the work

A powerful tool but might be too much for small teams/businesses
Overall it's a great app, I think it's just not for me. But I can see why so many businesses use it. It's powerful and capable.
Pros
Asana has a sleek modern interface, is used by many companies, and offers a wide range of tools for task and project management.
Cons
For me personally, Asana always felt like too much to handle. With a lot of tasks on my plate as both an employee and manager using Asana on multiple different occasions, I always felt like the app offers way too much for me to comprehend with my busy schedule and limited resources.

Great PM Tool for a Range of Business Budgets
Overall, very pleased with the simple free limited plan. While there are some neat features available in the paid plan, the free limited plan does offer some level of customization. Team members can customize project fields to fit specific needs. It also offers positive reinforcement in the form of fun animations when getting started. It's also nice to be able to utilize the list form, the board form, and the calendar. It's a great tool for organizations of all sizes, but super helpful for those with tight budgets. It allows teams with limited budgets to get started with a solid tool and upgrade when resources in place without having to switch to a different tool altogether.
Pros
Love the ease of creating and assigning tasks for various projects. My team and I can easily track our work, collaborate, update notes, change status, and more.
Cons
I would like to see a bit more flexibility in changing color layout on the free version.

I'm in LOVE!
It has been a life saver and honestly I could not manage my team without it.
Pros
The calendar view. In one screen I can see what my entire team has going in the upcoming days and how full our schedule is.
Cons
The phone app. I wish it was a little more robust. Lacking the calendar view is what I dislike the most about the app and why I don't use it much in my manager roll.

Asana Keeps Life Organized!
My overall experience with Asana with Asana was great! I still continue to use them because they keep me and all my projects on time and everything in my life organized. I have 8 million projects going on at all times and they keep me up to date and me on time, so I don't get lost in what I am doing. Between being a student and a self-employed employed worker Asana is a blessing!
Pros
What I loved about Asana was that it was very easy to use! It was also a project management software that was made for someone who is a one man show or someone that has a team of people working for them as well. They don't rope you by making them buy their software outright they give you a free trial first which is great because it allows you to see if it is a good fit for you and your team first. It keeps track of everything you are doing and makes sure you are getting everything you are done on time so that you aren't falling behind. You can also use this app on your phone and on your computer which is great because not everything be can done on your phone.
Cons
The only thing that I didn't that I did not like about it was that unless you had internet you could not use it and when I went to a different for country for business there was an issue with the time. And when I looked into it, it said that there was native time keeping for Asana.

An Absolute Must to Stay Sane During the Workday
Asana has made my productivity increase greatly. When I share tips and tricks with my team they're amazed at how much more efficient they can be. I don't think I could work without Asana. If my company didn't provide Asana for us, I would still use it.
Pros
It keeps me organized!! It is so easy to see what I have to do, what others on my team are working on, and when everything is getting done. I love how we can communicate in Asana, provide updates on workflows, and easily adjust as needed. It's amazing that we can work with clients on other boards and just overall streamline workstreams.
Cons
That not everyone uses it, so sometimes have to figure out how to get people on board or integrate our system with theirs.

Asana Collaboration as a powerful engine
The ease of use, together with highly advanced collaborative features, have revolutionized how we engage content. It has cut down emails and minimized their chiming with more efficient ways of giving an individual a task, due date, and feedback at once.
Pros
Asana sets apart from the competition, where it offers Timeline, which is a perfect display of project layout to identify causes for delays.
Cons
Perhaps one of Asana’s weaknesses is its search ability. It is difficult to locate particular activities or discussions, particularly when a project comprises many tasks.

If you’re losing track of projects by not using a Project Management System, You need ASANA!
I became a certified asana pro when I was first starting out as a virtual assistant I think it’s such a powerhouse platform that can really manage projects and milestones I highly recommend it for both personal and professional use.
Pros
I love the ability to use this platform for both internal projects and client facing updates, I work on several teams where we can easily move the project to the next person once it goes through each phase until final approvals are complete. It streamlines the workflow and allows for us to share necessary information to complete each tasks.
Cons
I think it can be easily used improperly which can lead to missed deadlines/communications I think it could have some better resources for agencies.

Asana, the tool that organizes me
Using Asana has helped me work more effectively and professionally by keeping a detailed track of activities and tasks, as well as executing projects in a professional manner.
Pros
I like using Asana because it makes organizing my projects, tasks, and work much easier. It is also very useful when collaborating with my team because it has allowed me to keep track of all the activities we’ve done.
Cons
The only thing I don’t like about Asana is that it can be a bit complex for those trying to learn to use the tool, as it has multiple functions, which can be challenging for new users.

How does Asana help a team of affiliate marketing managers?
Asana has been a great tool for project management. It's intuitive once you get the hang of it and really helps streamline team collaboration and task tracking.
Pros
The main highlight for me is how Asana helps organize tasks and projects visually. The customizable boards, lists, and timelines make it easy to manage workflows and collaborate with my team.
Cons
The learning curve can be a bit steep for new users. Some features, like reporting and task dependencies, are more complex and require extra time to set up properly. However after becoming comfortable with Asana and its features, it is an undeniably useful tool.

Improve project planning, collaboration and management with Asana, a top-rated tool.
Asana helped us come out of the deep hole of poor project management. It help us to effectively plan and strategize our project activities making it possible to achieve the project objectives within the right time. Asana has also given us a very simple collaboration experience allowing us to work more better together than before.
Pros
Asana makes use of very superior data security tools which keep all our data and information safe and sound. It has collaboration features which makes it easy for our team to communicate and work together during our team projects. Asana reporting feature provide us with clear insights that help track the performance of our projects. It also has interactive live dashboards that offer very easy to interpret project visuals making it easy to monitor the progress of our projects. It is easy to set project goals and objectives with Asana that help us keep focused on the most important work of the project.
Cons
Asana has never shown any signs of weakness. Our experience has been very flawless and we have nothing to give complaints about.

A solid intermediate project management tool
It's a positive experience when using Asana for our clients. It's not our tool of choice however, but it's good for that particular use-case.
Pros
Asana is a solid project management tool. I'd say it's an intermediate tool, with very good basics and plenty of more advanced features. I like the customisability and the way they organise projects and teams. The number of different views on each screen makes it easy to monitor projects "at a glance" and these filters serve as shortcuts into more detailed screens.
Cons
Asana is not the most advanced project management tool, and it doesn't target any specific niche. This means that you'll both find features many people will never use, while also missing some features you might need. One of the biggest flaws for me is the poor editability of messages and task descriptions. This makes Asana a no-go for any company with a writing culture, and often makes asynchronous communication harder.

Can’t live without it!
I would call my experience with Asana a game-changer. I would also call it an “industry changer”, because I have seen the impact it has had on productivity in both companies I have worked for that implemented Asana into their workflow. I don’t know how the current company where I work could run if it didn’t have Asana. And I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do my job without it.
Pros
I like that the capabilities are endless for how you can set up projects and processes to work best for your specific company or team. I also love that, on a daily basis, I discover some new way that Asana can make my job more efficient and streamlined.
Cons
Changing the “time” in the due date field is a little wonky if you are trying to type it in and not use the drop-down. But that’s the only minor annoyance I have.

Asana works well when you make it work for you
I have a positive experience with Asana! I have yet to find the perfect software in general, so it of course is not without its minor flaws. I'd highly recommend this product.
Pros
If you know how to use Asana and all of its features, then it can work wonders for your team. Asana is helpful for tracking shared tasks on a team-level, such as a team that is planning an annual event with multiple tasks, deadlines, and departments (marketing and sponsorships, event logistics, registration management, etc.). Your team's Asana can consist of multiple "Projects", with sub-categories within each project for your individual tasks. Tasks can be assigned to as few or as many teammates as you'd prefer, and can be set to reoccurring or one-time only. Tasks can move between sub-categories and between projects. Our team also uses Asana for weekly team meetings, where we check off each task as an agenda item, and will sometimes turn an agenda item into a task on someone's to-do list, adding a due date and moving the task to a relevant project.
Cons
Sometimes, the functionality and innerworkings of Asana can be rather complex for a team's comprehension. With some training and sharing of best practices, teams can truly make Asana work for them. The cons of Asana lie more with the users, as everyone needs to be on the same page on using Asana and how the team specifically wants to manage tasks. Every team has their own preferences. Also, as someone who represents multiple non-profit organizations in my job and has multiple emails/aliases, it can also be challenging if you have already created an Asana account with one email. There is a way to merge all your Asana "teams" into one log-in, but it is difficult to do so if you have already created an Asana log-in.

Pros
It used to have an ease of use. Very vitually appealing and easy for staff to follow. I also enjoyed the Celebration Creatures.
Cons
Since developing a paid version, more and more functions have been stripped from the paid one. And the paid version is incredibly expensive for a small, independent business. The search function is impossible, you can't get rid of detritus, etc. I can no longer recommend them.

Integrating Asana For Workflow Efficiency
It makes our workflow much, much easier and communication much more effective. Our design team is able to stay aligned through their simplified interface, which makes it very simple to track tasks and deadlines. But there have been some occasional glitches, but these are generally minor and do not impede on our productivity.
Pros
Its very convenient to use task management system in Asana and seamless integration make it a hit. Customizable templates allow the workflows to be tailored to specific projects and help teams to be more efficient. Asana continuous collaboration features help its team members communicate instantly, get updates, and track progress without any hiatus, and it is a powerful choice for product designers.
Cons
Asana has its strengths but could use a couple of extra bells and whistles, as far as reporting goes, which would give a bit deeper knowledge about project timelines and resource allocation. Additionally, the mobile app's UI needs to be cleaner and more streamline in order to execute the navigation, in which the user can even perform the tasks easily on the go.

Ready or not, Asana is here for you
Overall asana is a great tool, I’ve setup an account for every company I worked for the last few years and it has been a game changer ever since. I do have quite a few years of project management experience so it is quirky and exciting for me to use this tool. I recommend teams looking to implement dedicate an internal or external PM to setup the tool for your company’s internal teams by understanding what current challenges they face when providing status updates on projects. This tool needs atleast 90 days to really get it setup for companies with 150 employees or less but will become an instant hit if you dedicate the resources to get it started
Pros
Asana is a great tool for the type A project manager or teams that enjoy craft organizational tools with a twist. Asana has a TON of different customizations such as creating rules for tasks once the completion date has been reached or allowing you to assign a collaborator to a child tasks with a parent action
Cons
Since there are so many custom tool options it may motivate teams to delay the initial setup of the tool to make it work for your industry or line of project tasks and milestones

Intuitive Planning Software - Great for Projects
Running an online business requires a lot of different types of tasks from product creation to social media. I especially like to use Asana for complicated projects like creating an online course. This task benefits from project management because there are a lot of dependencies. For example, you can't launch the sales page until you finish the checkout page, etc.
However for daily to-dos I find something simpler (like pen and paper) is more useful.
I still haven't completely refined my workflow to optimize my use of software.
Pros
Asana is a very robust project management tool with a simple interface. It is not hard to get started and do the basics such as creating a project and adding tasks. The app is also very intuitive and you can get to your tasks quite quickly. I like that I can just scroll through the tasks and find one that I can do in the time I have available. You can also prioritize your tasks by importance.
I like the list view of projects because I don't have to open workspaces and boards, etc. However, it does also have the Kanban layout.
Cons
This is not really the fault of the software, but I tend to put too many tasks in project management tools and this reduces my motivation to open them. Ultimately, it's easier for me to remember something when I write it down on paper.

Asana is a highly approachable project management platform
I was introduced to Asana four years ago by a director I was working with. We used it to track our marketing projects. Since then I've used Asana with two other teams, and each time I've joined a new team the platform quickly became indispensable to our project management. It's how I plan my day, update my clients on projects and collaborate with team members.
Pros
Using Asana is intuitive. It's so easy to pick up. Especially once you find the task view you prefer. I like using the Calendar and Gantt views, but there's something for everyone. It also is a great system of record for projects. The whole team can connect on a project's overall progress but also on its details, and the ability to add hyperlinks and attach docs to tasks keeps everything in one place, which is indispensable for successfully managing bigger projects.
Cons
I don't dislike anything about Asana, but I've used different tiers of Asana throughout the years and am currently using a tier that doesn't include the ability to set a project's status. I miss that feature.

An excellent program for project management.
Asana supports me in my daily management tasks, helping me keep all the information organized in one place and collaborate seamlessly with the entire team. I truly find it superior in terms of project management compared to all the other tools I’ve tried.
Pros
It’s an excellent tool for project management and collaboration with an interdisciplinary team, even when part of the team is external to the organization.
Cons
There’s nothing I don’t like about Asana, but perhaps it could make the experience of duplicating projects a bit simpler.

Asana - your one step shop to collaborative work environments.
It has been incredible beneficial interface for our organization and has personally helped me a ton to stay on task and focus on the most important tasks first.
Pros
Asana is a great tool for any business that works within multiple levels. We use it across our organization to stay involved and collaborative. It's been so beneficial to have immediate feedback from team members about projects.
Cons
Sometimes switching between companies/jobs is a bit clunky. There isn't a whole lot to complain about when using it, however.

Asana is the Best in Task Management
I have enjoyed using Asana both professionally and in my personal task management. It keeps me organized and ensures my team completes projects on time. We build full process maps that outlines exactly who is responsible for what at every stage of a project.
Pros
I love the ability to organize projects with tasks, sub-tasks, and even sub-sub-tasks. We can assign people to each task with specific due dates. My whole team is always on the same page because of this task management system.
Cons
The only con is that I would love to have more flexibility on how I organize the projects, because my company has quite a few and they can be cumbersome to locate at times.

Great for Project Management across a remote team
Used widely amongst the team across all areas of the business with vary levels of full engagement. We initially had all the company goals mapped out and had these filtering down into various teams sub goals, but then realised several of the teams weren't using the platform to record in this way, so we downgraded and allow the teams who love it to use it in the way that best suits them.
Pros
As a project management tool it's strong - lots of really simple to use layouts and project templates so no PM experience required to get started.
It's reporting functionality is great too, and goal setting is really useful to the team.
Cons
The price. We'd love to go for the biggest plan but for a start up it's hard to justify the full cost if only certain teams are adopting it. It can get expensive pretty quickly.
Reasons for Switching to Asana
UX/UI of Asana is way nicer than planner, even though we are a MS company- Industry: Law Practice

Asana - I couldn't work without it
Asana is a huge part of my work experience. I literally spend maybe 15% of my total time at work on Asana, as I work in operations. There are tons of different uses for it, to list a few that I use:
1. Content calendar for email marketing
2. Board for review dates of internal knowledge articles and templates
3. Personal boards for each of our team members listing tasks
4. Team boards that show each team members list of capacity (overlaps with 3)
5. Meeting boards where anyone is welcome to add a card into a 'to be discussed column' where we discuss ideas in a weekly meeting
Pros
I liked the incredible customisability the most about Asana. It's a software that has thousands (maybe a slight hyperbole) of potential uses. We use it for so many things, and it is incredibly integrated into my daily workflow I couldn't imagine working without it.
Cons
Asana is slightly lacking options regarding levels of user access into projects. For example, who can comment, who can view, who can add attachments etc..

Asana is the app you are looking for
We've been using Asana as the engine that runs our company for several years, I can't imagine working without it.
Pros
Asana is the only project management software I've found that has every feature I need, with the most intuitive user interface.
Cons
Wish it had more third-party integrations, but we found API services to fill that need.
Reasons for Choosing Asana
Asana is purpose-built for project management and team collaboration. Notion is too general to rely on for mission anything mission critical. If you can't trust your systems, you are toast.Switched From

A Great Tool for Staying Organized and Collaborative
My overall experience with Asana was positive. It helped me stay organized, meet deadlines, and collaborate efficiently. The platform's flexibility in task management and visual project tracking made content planning easier, though it could get cluttered with larger projects
Pros
I liked Asana's ability to keep projects organized with its task management and calendar views, making it easy to plan content, set deadlines, and track progress. The integrations with tools like Google Drive also streamline sharing and collaboration.
Cons
What I liked least about Asana was the occasional clutter when managing complex projects, as too many tasks and subtasks could make it overwhelming. Additionally, some features felt limited unless you upgraded to the premium version.

Asana changes it workplace for the better
We’re very happy with how asana has increased our team projects work AND individually employee organization. We use it to help manage employees work loads and oversee productivity. This lets us manage without micro managing: so if tasks are getting done and the projects are moving along (as you can see with an “on track” measuring tool) then we are fine trusting our employees to get the work done. This would be much harder to accomplish without a tool like Asana.
Pros
Asana has been instrumental in helping our employees and team at a small nonprofit probe, manage and track individual tasks and team projects. It’s been a dream tool in project management across teams with the ability to establish a project visually to all with individual tasks and the ability to assign tasks to others AND see when tasks assigned to others are completed. We establish at employee KPI’s here at the beginning of the year and the Goals function helps us measure and track these with updates you can do monthly, either manually or have them update automatically, depending on your markers.
Cons
My only complaint is that it has more complexity and capability than we can use without taking the time to really offer trainings in it. So I know we’re using it clumsily and not to full capacity for our event planning for a large fundraising event at the end of the year. But it would take us more time to train using it than we currently have right now.

The organizer of your tasks
I usually use Asana when I need to organize events at work, as well as to keep track of each task and project. Additionally, I can monitor the progress of the project or task.
Pros
I have found Asana very useful for my work area since it allows me to create projects together with my team. Additionally, Asana has allowed me to assign a name to the project, break down the tasks, assign responsibilities to each team member, and set a deadline for each task.
Cons
What I haven't liked about this tool is that it can be complex to use when you're a new member, but it's just a matter of time to learn.

My Brain Now Functions in an Asana View
I love Asana, and am a HUGE advocate for it. I am a huge fanatic when it comes to organizing in a way that communicates everything necessary to help understand where something is in a process, without needing to be physically asked, and Asana makes this more than possible. I was introduced to Asana in a workplace, and now utilize it in my own personal life.
Pros
Simply that it exists. The ability to communicate all statuses, efforts, and steps in a process between all departments without needing to literally communicate, is incredible. Including the ability to template processes, and tasks.
Cons
I would appreciate it if it was easier to make sections templated easier. I am sure there may be a way to do that, but I do not know how.
