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.
I like that you can easily tag people and it notifies them. I like that there's solid app and web access (I use the web version), and I like that it integrates with other tools like Slack and Jira.
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.
The glitchiness in updating dates is hard to deal with at times, it's very hard to update a templates dates (I often create a project, update the project, and then make a new template from the updated project, and then delete the project template, and overall it does take quite a bit of training to be comfortable and familiar with how to build things, it's not very intuitive.
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.

Software Increases Efficiency But Lacks Requested Features And Sub-Task Functionality
The software is very helpful and improves efficiency and streamlines processes, but there are some functions that are not available that have been requested by users for some time and it seems like they are not even being considered even though they would drastically improve the ease of use, user experience, effectiveness, etc. of the product. - SALES MANAGER50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Teams Benefit From Asana’s Project Tracking Despite Layout and Notification Concerns
Asana is a great project management tool that allows teams to collaborate and stay organized across multiple projects. I have noticed better results of hitting due dates when Asana tasks are used and kept up to date across the team. It truly is a wonderful project management tool. - Director of Customer Service and Support<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
