[/wpsm_inline_list]Tired of struggling with “work about work”?
So were the creators of Asana. Their tool was created with the overall theme of creativity and simplicity.
Bottom Line
Asana is geared for small teams and intentionally ignores the rest. Made for organizing thoughts and small projects, this app is excellent for early start-ups and shouldn’t be overlooked. Its interface is visually appealing, sporting rich colors and animations. Users of this app are generally pleased with the occasional complaint about missing features, bugs, and speed.
Asana offers one of the best front-end designs we’ve ever seen. This application was built for the client. Upon first logging into Asana, the beautiful initialization process will make you feel right at home. Fast onboarding and instant task creation are crucial to the industry. We never felt like we were waiting around or sifting through unnecessary features.
After adding a few users and creating their projects, we were very happy with the way Asana handles the tasks themselves. The drag and drop interface makes rearranging and reassigning tasks a breeze. Each project has a conversation, calendar, progress tab, and file share. Task-following is a nifty feature that allows certain users who are not assignees to be notified of the progress of a task.
Unfortunately, there were not any “advanced” features with this app. The functionality of this application is very limited. We also have to mention the slow loading speeds and overall unreliability. Losing all of your progress due to an incorrect keystroke has plagued our team’s usage of this app. We also still have trouble with copying and pasting the simplest lines of text.
As you might imagine, Asana is also remarkably simple when it comes to pricing. This is a big positive in our books. No company offers a more inclusive free option, and their paid version is cheaper than most.
All things considered, this tool was not intended to have cluttered features or the reliability of an enterprise tool. We loved this tool as an easy task manangement solution.

I LOVE ASANA!! Anyone reading should at least give it a try – it’s free. So much better than using trello
Asana is my personal task manager, but it’s not quite there for my company
Since using this tool we have been able to eliminate coordinating projects through email. It’s A LOT easier to just assign tasks and not having to chase emails back and forth. Marketing collaboration and productivity has increased significantly because there is less lost in translation.
If youre all about aesthetics youve probably made your decision however if youre concerned with features and functionality the story might be a bit different. Asana offers two packages to choose from and they do work with small sized teams when calculating your cost as this is done on a per member basis …. oh and on an annual commitment. You can’t go wrong with this tool for your first real task manager
We were hoping that upgrading to the pro version would give us more features… just stick with the free option
my team has been using asana for almost a year and it’s time to move on. a more sophisticated tool is required for our exciting growth!
As a whole, it is a handy way to compile to do lists and keep an eye on other people’s to do lists.
Asana has the look and feel exactly where it should be, but they are lacking with many frustrating issues that slow my team down. I hope they can get these issue fixed soon!
I have a team of 5 that needed something simple. Asana is PERFECT
Overall this is a good tool, but the problems are strong enough to bring my overall outlook of Asana down. The free version is pretty effective if you are looking for a very simple solution for a small team. If you take project management serious, I would suggest you look at some other options.
Our team has used this app for over 2 years and have always found it effective in communicating a project. The integration of apps are top notch, especially instagantt !!!
Asana is cheaper than Liquid Planner, but simply doesn’t have enough features for the Enterprise level. I also don’t think they could handle that many tasks, whereas it’s slow with just my projects.
I agree with Brandon, Asana is so easy to use and has a great UI. But, it is SLOW and this has created a lot of frustration across our team.
It’s very easy to collaborate with my team, assign tasks and track progress. It doesn’t have too many bells and whistles that end up cluttering the interface which allows me to quickly and easily enter my project updates without any distractions. Unfortunately, I don’t find the mobile version to be as good of an experience as the web version which is important to me as I’m always on the go.
Great for organization and delegation
Asana is simplistic and beautiful in design. This software is basically like a to-do list as the solution is missing advanced features. Onboarding can take awhile. Good for smaller projects.
Helps us manage projects and tasks without any confusion and gives some good insight into your workflow. We can’t get an overview of all of our projects at once which is a huge problem for us right now.
Great tool to start out with, however, we’re quickly outgrowing the software.
Helps our team prioritize and get to work!
Good tool for now
Asana is a great productivity tool. It makes it efficient to set up tasks and appointments. It integrates Dropbox and Goggle Drive, making it easy to access files and documents. Communication is feasible with Asana without the need of an email. Asana team are always on hand to help. It offers excellent service and always put customers first. It believes that customers’ productivity lies with it.
Easy to manage all the teams, tasks and projects very easily!
This is a great program for companies that need a simple and intuitive solution for managing projects that require high communication and fast results. Asana does not have gantt charts or any micro level management tools used for budgeting, which is why I recommend using Asana for the communication and deadline aspect of projects, but NOT for carrying out PM responsibilities required for most successful projects.
Good tool!
Asana makes everything start feeling like its working smoothly
Managing multiple priorities in multiple channels with limited resources.
Asana have a very easy to use web interface and is easy to setup, organize, assign, and comment on tasks. The built-in communications tools are top notch. The mobile app on Android needs improvement with UI. Unlike the web interface, I am constantly trying to figure out what to do next on the mobile app and have accidentally marked tasks as done more often than intended
We use Asana in our office to manage our team members workload
For managing teams, Asana is one of the better options. I’ve successfully used it in both software and agency businesses. However, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds!
Easy tool to start out with but not great for teams that want to scale rapidly.
