Performance of Asana Across Market Features
Asana Likes & Dislikes
The top 3 things that I like about Asana - The ability to easily set up a new project and add outside clients to said project. Being able to integrate with other programs that I use on a daily basis. Asana's commitment to releasing new features, and their ability to listen to their user's needs.
We considered it as a candidate given its non-intimidating learning curve and boilerplate project examples. It was much easier to start a project in Asana The overall design aesthetic was way more pleasant to the eyes as well.
Right now I am digging more into the AI capabilities of Asana to take repeatable tasks off my plate using smart workflows. Things such as scoping out a request for completeness and assigning it to a member of my team or drafting a campaign brief based on the input of a request are some ways I am looking to further my Asana usage and get back time in my day. I also really love the workload reporting feature. This is something I use multiple times a day to understand my team's capacity and assign out incoming requests based on existing bandwidth. I pair the workload report with time estimates baked into each task to get an accurate representation of the team's work. No more guessing who has the capacity to tackle incoming requests. Lastly, the ability to multi-home tasks is crucial for our organization to get insights into all the work happening at a cross-functional level.
There are not a whole lot of things to dislike about Asana. But if I had to name a few they would be: - The learning curve when you are just starting out is a little steep. - Some of the important features are locked by the premium price level. - If you are using their form feature, you cannot designate where that form will end up after it is completed by a customer, employee, etc.
- Integrations are not as comprehensive as other platforms - Pricing was not competitive - Great for simpler projects, starts to fall flat as you grow your org and the nature of how teams operate changes
I'd love to be able to use task templates/bundles for incoming requests. It feels a bit clunky that we have to build separate rules with subtasks for form requests vs the bundle option. It would also be great to be able to clone portfolios so I don't have to build from scratch each time. For example, every month I build a portfolio to track the amount of incoming requests my team works on. It would be great to be able to clone the prior months portfolio and simply update the dates in the dashboard to reflect the month in question, but I have to build from scratch every month instead which is a bit of a time suck.

Perfect for marketing teams working on complex projects at pace
Having tried multiple work and project management tools over the years, as well as using Asana across multiple organisations, I can easily say that Asana is best-in-class. In my role, I liaise with a large number of stakeholders and coordinate a huge variety of workstreams. Asana has proven to be exceptional at supporting request intake, stakeholder communication, task/project management, progress tracking, capacity planning, workload management, and more. - ManagerGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source

Great task management tool that just works for non-technical teams
Asana is a great solution to manage your work, especially for teams that just want a tool that just works. Compared to other similar tools, some of the key strengths of Asana is its ease of use and intuitive user interface, which makes it the perfect solution for teams that are not technical, such as marketing and design. With that said, do not let its apparent simplicity fool you, Asana comes packed with features that really help our teams to collaborate and work together more effectively. You can adapt Asana to how your teams work with its highly customizable workflow, and simplify your work process with automations. Its out-of-the-box project management capabilities are also rock solid, with different views such as calendar, list and gantt, so our project managers and team members can get the project information they need. Other features such as custom fields, dashboards, reports, and custom integrations really help to make it THE solution for our non-technical teams.
