Asana has been an essential tool in my role as a data analyst. It streamlines task and project management, ensuring that data analysis projects are executed efficiently. While there may be occasional challenges with complex projects or resource usage, the benefits of using Asana far outweigh any minor inconveniences. As a data analyst, I highly recommend Asana for improving productivity and project management in data analysis workflows.

The ability to set task dependencies ensures that tasks are executed in the correct order. This feature is essential when dealing with data analysis, where one task's output often feeds into another.

Asana's comprehensive features may require a bit of a learning curve for new users, especially when setting up complex project structures or automation. This learning process can take some time.

I like Asana because I see how useful it is for better creating strategies for how I spend time on different tasks and how useful that time ends up being. I mainly use it as a complement currently to the main software I use for task management because I don't want to spend the necessary time setting this software up extensively until I see more of a use with it that I need to spend that time doing that. I do like just going through the minimal things I utilize with it now though because it ultimately helping me get used to the software and learn little by little as I go so hopefully that help me eventually be able to use all the extensive features that offer once I finally feel confident enough about how to use each one. It has been consistently over the course of a little over a year now the task management software that I refuse to give up on. I think eventually it will be what I use to manage the majority of things for my business but until I scale that doesn't seem to be something that I should spend a lot of time implementing right now. I hope they will release more clear resources that will help me understand how to setup and use the software easier as time goes on which would be the biggest help and thing they could change in my opinion that would make a world of a difference when using their software.

I like the collaboration and communication features as they help work with your team on tasks very easily and keeps information in one easy to access place so no one ever has trouble finding something they need to complete work again and also the timeline view is great to help plan work so that you can make sure important work gets finished before starting work that you shouldn't start before something else is completed so that you have all the necessary things available when it's time to do the task. The ability to update the status and progress of projects and goals is helpful so that you can get an overall general idea of where work needs to be picked up and what work is going well so you can adjust the time that is spent on those things to get the work that is lacking up to speed and progressed with where other work is at so you don't fall behind in one area. I like how much information and elements I can add to tasks using this software because it helps me make sure that everything about a task and all the information and resources to complete when it becomes time can be added and available when that time comes which helps keep everything super organized and helps you spend less time locating these things since it is all already added to the task information on a task's panel and you can begin working right away. This software overall helps improve time management and also helps when working with others which makes it extremely useful for many businesses.

I don't like the complexity of implementing Asana as a software you are planning to use for your organization or business. There is a lot of setup work involved when trying to use this software to manage everything on a project level for your business. It also requires a lot of time to keep up with maintenance and updates to everything you create for it to keep it up to date and useful to everyday use for organization and task management. I would say this software is better for larger organizations, teams, or businesses with project managers on their staff that would be in charge of overseeing the upkeep for this software so that it would always be able to be used for the current time for what your team is working on. If it falls behind even a little bit it is hard to catch it back up and takes a lot of time that smaller businesses with less resources don't need to spend their time focusing on as their time would be better spent doing tasks that will provide benefit to them in the long run. It is also very hard to learn the best ways and the correct ways to use some features and the education is not clear enough that they offer to assist with this so it is really hard if you're not a experienced project manager to understand this software as well as I would like someone to able to understand. The time spent working on keeping this software updated is just much better spent in most cases on the work that would be more valuable to work on and get done.

We have been using Asana for over 2 years with my team and we still couldn't figure out a feasible way to use this tool. We tried 4 or 5 different setups, and couldn't create one source of truth where we could see all our tasks, projects, campaigns going on, all open ideas, etc. It's too complex to use and the UX is not simple like other management tools.

- Being able to create rules and automations- Task creation window - Animations and stickers to show gratitude when a task is completed

- UX is poor, it's too complex and always a window within another window which is distracting- Task hierarchy is too simple, doesn't allow for much flexibility- The different project views are not optimized - you can't edit the view based on your needs - Notifications are confusing

One of the big challenges in by work is getting all the stakeholders on projects to work on common platforms. I've used Asada as the go-to app for all projects, with integration with Google Workspace and Slack in particular really useful. It helps to plan and review progress on projects, and allows you to run projects in either agile or waterfall formats. It's also not too complicated, there are various subecription levels that give you access to the features that you need

Quick and easy to setupAllows collaboration with clients and partners Integrates well with Google Workspaces, Slack etc

I've become so used to Asana that there's nothing the bugs me now. It's perfectly suited to planning and running technical projects

Our company has employees in the UK and other countries as well. All the employees use Asana which makes all the projects very easy to manage.

Assigning tasks and adding collaborators is a very good feature, and only collaborators can view and respond to the task. The calendar and Goals feature makes it outstanding. I love using Asana desktop software which is very much fast and reliable.

Asana desktop edition sometimes crashes.

Overall my experience has been good and has certainly helped me to keep better control and scheduling of projects, also making it easier for my team to follow and recognize their tasks and objectives.

The best thing about Asana is how it allows you to easily and simply embark on project scheduling with your team, where it is easy to distribute the different tasks and follow up on them to see their status, while sharing information internally on how each task is going.

The negative point of Asana is that if you have other software or systems already active, it can be a bit complicated to make them coexist so that the workflow is as smooth as possible. Mainly through the calendar, since at the moment there are no integrations with Google or Outlook so that everything can be centralized.

I liked the platform's ability to create and manage tasks with ease. The task creation process is simple and straightforward, allowing me to assign tasks to team members and set due dates quickly. The ability to attach files and add comments to tasks has greatly improved our collaboration process so that everyone is on the same page and has access to all the necessary information.

Nothing to complain about so far. The tool has greatly enhanced my team's productivity and efficiency

I use it only to have my workload report to date

Stopped using post-its, Asana helps tracking my to do lists

It is not intuitive, I need to create new tasks for everything instead of letting me add new items to one task

It keeps me organized and on track with my tasks. The collaboration piece allows the entire team to track their tasks and see what updates or information is needed to complete a task.

I wish the support was more user friendly and easier to access and look up information or even talk to someone.

Using Asana, it's easy to track progress and manage different tasks in projects. it has a good user interface to collaborate with the teams and notify them based on tasks.

I like the most about Asana is we can easily collaborate with our team members and divide the tasks accordingly, so it is very easy to manage task and achieve project management efficiently. Another good thing I would say it's having very good user interface which supports drag and drop feature as well to move different tickets or tasks to different faces of project management. And it also integrates with many third party providers which makes our workflow very manageable.

It offers limited task management features, if we have different deployment needs as per project like development, staging, testing etc., then there are no options of moving tasks to these options instead we can only change status of that task. And sometimes locating older tasks or tickets that someone else from the team worked on in the past can be challenging.

We use Asana to get organized and stay organized across teams. The ability to stitch together workflows between Asana and other web apps makes it a very flexible tool in our tech stack.

The ease of setting up multiple projects and the ability to assign teams to different projects at the same time. The combination of input forms, gantt charts, calendar views, and kanban board are really powerful and useful for different types of projects. Integration with other apps such as Zapier, HubSpot are key.

The user interface is too complex and overwhelming. Errant clicks create new tasks and archives unfinished tasks because almost the entire screen area is clickable for one function or another. Advanced features that make tools more useful such as a more advanced input form with logic jumps require a more premium tier of subscription.

I have been using Asana for many years, when I need to refer to a good and useful tool for managing project, I always say Asana. Moreover the free version offers all the needed basic features, it is impressive.

The clean UI, the board and custom fields.

Subtasks management (mostly in the board view) because too much click to reach them and no overall view (no nice hierarchical view with parents and child tasks).

We have a lot of different marketing activations spread over various time periods and across multiple brands we own. Being able to organize all of this effectively and keep everyone on schedule has been a tremendous help and has saved us countless hours of time. We use this tool daily to keep everyone on track, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Powerful tagging and search functions make it very simple to keep track of our myriad marketing activations and all their associated deliverables. Adding subtasks and including collaborators on tasks makes it very easy to keep track of who needs to do what and by when. Various views like lists, calendars, and kanban boards make it accessible to everyone on the team who thinks and processes information differently. The UX is clean and simple, and the 'my tasks' and 'inbox' features help us all keep track of what's happening in our assigned areas.

The only con I have is that there is somewhat of a steep learning curve for some of the more advanced features, and there's some serious thinking and heavy lifting required to get everything laid out and organized in the tool and then get everyone onboarded. However, I think this is likely going to be the case with any team adopting a project management tool.

Good! Asana is not as difficult to get the hand out with. I did manage to set-up all my tasks and projects personally. Though, I haven't used it for a long time when I did tested Monday.com.

I can bet in all of Asana's features from Task management, Scheduling, Materials management, Gantt Charts, Collaborations and the likes. Save for time tracking which is not (yet) available. The Free Pricing however, is generous enough to collaborate with up to 10 or 15 more individuals. Other top PMS has less to nothing - or just one user allowed.

User Interface. Asana needs to improve on there user interface to be at par with Monday.com. I've been using Monday and never looked back (except maybe if someday they will overrun Monday with features. Time Tracking. This one matters for some users, specially freelancers and online nomads alike. Just wondering why this wasn't integrated just yet. Set-up. It wasn't that easy to get started for non-techie users. So patience a virtue. Though PMS are understandably complicated, Monday take the pie in this domain.

Overall, we've been very pleased with Asana for our agency. While working remotely during the pandemic, it's been an invaluable resource to make sure our team is all on the same page across clients and projects. Custom fields, statuses, and comments have kept us all connected and allowed us to continue work just as if we were in the office together.

I love Asana because of the easy to navigate interface, visual organization, and ability to create custom fields that allow my agency to get the most out of our project setups. The ability to perform advanced searches is invaluable to our team. We create reports based on those searches to allow us to better track progress on certain projects and initiatives.

One major pitfall of Asana is the "Template" feature. With their templates, you have to create an entirely new project within a team in order to use a template you've created, drag the tasks to an existing project, and delete the new project you just made. It's essentially rendered this feature more of a hassle than a help. We would love to have the ability to choose a template and insert it into an existing project with ease. Also, a simple task template would be helpful, so that for routine tasks you perform for different clients, you could go to templates, tasks, and apply just ONE task to an existing project.

Outstanding. My primary goal using Asana was to replace the traditional procedure manual with something more robust and dynamic. The ability to schedule, repeat, and assign tasks means I complete and and forget it and until I'm reminded on the next cycle. Everything I need is contained in the project.

Easy to enter data and uploading of attachment to tasks. Very much appreciate the ability to have a conversation about the task in the task and not fill up my email. Customizable fields are a huge plus because I can track details and progress in a manner that meets my work style. Like the ability to drag and drop and colorize different things to make spotting what I'm looking for easier.

Although you can add followers to tasks, inability to assign multiple team members to the same task without duplicating the tasks is frustrating. There several small user interface things I would improve about Asana. I wish the project list could own the entire left hand column instead of sharing with with other high level functions. Those could be moved to the top. Having to click "Show more Projects" to view the whole list is unnecessary.

I solved the workload of every member of my team and the priority of each task. I was able to have a clear and open vision of the situation with each client and deliver their requests on time. It was very helful to us.

I used Asana for 1-2 years while I was working on a Social Media Agency. It helped me a lot to organize my team. I was able to track all the tasks in their differents stages and also I could know the workload of every member of my team. Also I integrated Asana with my Gmail and created tasks from there, very easy and quickly.

When I started using Asana, I had trouble copying and pasting images directly from the email body. Then when they achieved integration with Gmail, this was resolved. Also, email notifications were quite annoying until I learned how to disable them. Maybe they could add a feature to only send email notifications for important tasks.
