Central hub has unified cross‑department tasks and provides clear ownership and communication
The best features Asana offers, once you become familiar with the system, include clarity in view and tracking of questions. For instance, if information is requested from legal and they respond, a record is maintained to track all comments and keep everyone updated. Having that clear view and record of communication helps the team day to day by allowing management and staff to see current statuses and responsibilities. It clarifies whose responsibility it is and identifies any hold-ups with legal or engineering tasks, which keeps the organization organized. Asana has positively impacted the organization by providing clarity for everyone, allowing visibility into who is working on what, from the VP of Operations down to maintenance, ensuring necessary parts are available. It functions as a clearinghouse for all information. Collaboration has greatly improved with Asana. There is no longer a need to chase down accounting or engineering for project updates because information can be checked through comments. File attachment and messaging capabilities between different groups within Asana are helpful. Email notifications are received for updates relevant to tasks, combining Asana alerts with email for easy visibility. The interface and notifications in Asana are appreciated because it integrates with email. Updates can be received even when not logged in, which keeps you informed. Initially, it takes some time to understand the various details, but after extensive use, it feels second nature. Overall, satisfaction with Asana is high.

Not a calendaring program . It focuses on listing tasks, simplifying collaboration, and Getting Things Done
LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general. It allows you to break down your project into multiple steps with best/worst case time scenarios and then gives you a complete picture of the project timeline and tasks in an easy to understand format. The reminders are fantastic! I have used it has a professional with a paid account, and also as a university student with a free academic account. I have used the timer function to record how much time I am spending on a task so that I can bill clients or to just to have it for future reference, it's a nice feature! Uploading documents really makes sharing and keeping things in a central location very handy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is pretty comprehensive when it comes to the different views that it gives you. It gives you a Gantt chart view, calendar view, board view, and list view. It is kind of helpful to have different types of views and see how it views your different tasks. I appreciate being able to do that. The biggest thing is that it is extremely user friendly. Asana is pretty intuitive. Someone who is not tech-savvy can kind of catch on quickly. It is better than other tools like Smartsheet. Some of the other tools like Microsoft Project and Excel are great tools, but you have to invest a lot of time to learn them, which is not the case with Asana."
"Asana has positively impacted my organization as we have moved from a team of five persons to currently a team of about nine or twelve persons over the last two to three years, and it really helps."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"Asana impacts the organization in several ways, improving execution clarity across different teams by showing what needs to be done, who owns it, and what the due date is, while strengthening PMO governance and visibility with real-time dashboards, portfolio views for leadership, and instant visibility into project health that makes decision-making faster and more data-driven and reduces operational inefficiencies."
"Asana has a wonderful user experience that is very easy to interact with and has tons of integrations with other products and tools."
"The best features Asana offers include project tracking, communication between project teams, workflow automation, reports and dashboards, and cross-functional coordination."
"I like that it integrates with a lot of other software."
"What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions."
"LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable, and we are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
 

Cons

"My only feedback or criticism of Asana would be the customer service. It is not amazing."
"On the development side for technical project management, Asana is missing features. We only use it for discussing tasks and strategies, and we use it for customer to-do lists. It doesn't have the source code integration that Jira and Jira Service Desk both have."
"It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool."
"The onboarding process has been a little bit slow, just getting everybody to use it and moving away from our old habits."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"The integration with email should be more seamless. When I'm writing an email and want to tag someone in Asana for a task, the process should be smoother."
"Because of the lack of the auto-shift feature, it is difficult to manage a complex project or complex timeline."
"I did not see a return on investment with Asana, and I cannot share any relevant metrics, such as time saved or improved efficiency."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality."
"Perhaps my only comment is that it is not cheap but in saying that, it is worth every penny."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome."
"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, I think it's an affordable option for mid to large-sized companies."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The cost is $25 US per unit per month."
"It has a free version."
"There is a free version of Asana, but we use the paid version to receive all the features we want. The overall price is reasonable."
"The solution's free version can be used for basic functions."
