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.

Asana is a wonderful tool that you can use in several different ways. Asana has a ton of helpful documents and videos to walk you through specific processes.

Reporting Features Offer Enhanced Visibility Into Team and Cross-Functional Workflows
I love the flexibility of the tool and how easy it is to get insights into my teams work as well as cross-functional work. The reporting is a huge step up from what we were able to achieve with other vendors and it gives our executive leadership team a great snapshot into all the work in the queue. - Chief Executive Officer<50M USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Asana is the lifeblood of our success
Asana is SUCH a workhorse if you put the time and energy in. I've led industry workshops on how to use it for different things and we've solved nearly all of our remote workforce management issues using it. We manage everything from onboarding and offboarding to customer service requests to marketing campaigns to accountability of communications you can't get anywhere else. People are SUPER motivated to get their unicorn to fly off the screen and it is both as high level and as granular as you need it to be. The customization features are second to none and integrate beautifully across our entire expansive ecosystem. It's eliminated internal email for us completely, scaling communications to be unobtrusive and accountable. Nobody misses a deadline without noticing, and we say if it's not in Asana, you're not accountable for it. Using the free platform is a great way to dip your toe in, but as you get larger, the cost for additional licenses is not so prohibitive if you don't give all the admin tools to all of your employees. We bring in guest consultants and manage their workloads through there as well. You can have multiple Asana workplaces so organize your personal life AND your worklife from the same window! It integrates beautifully into Google workplace and with the addition of Flowsana there are so many automations that mean my team stays lean, inspired, and effective. There's robust reporting tools as well - you can build your own at-a-glance charts to share with your teams and set KPI goals and truly track them. We have eliminated meeting length by having employees report weekly in their dedicated portfolio and it ties to the KPIs while also showing trend of on track, at risk, etc so managers and users can see risk of falling behind, burnout, and more. - Marketing Project Manager<50M USDSoftwareReview Source
Cross Functional Task Sharing and Forms Streamline Team Collaboration in Asana

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.
