The visual views make monitoring progress simple, though navigating single-assignee restrictions and pricing tiers requires some workflow adjustments. ----- ### "Asana = PM Standard" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 July 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As far as project management software goes, Asana is a pretty good one. I think that it's relatively affordable, meaning that it has a lot of value. It's also very easy to use, and a lot of the basic features out of the box, such as automated tasks, recurring tasks, multiple project views, etc., are very helpful. I also really like the customized and saved views and filters, as in manager, to be able to track others' tasks and progress as well in an easy manner. > > **Cons**: I think that sometimes it's easy to get confused within Asana. Also, I will say the search feature is not very good, so if you're looking for a task, it can be very difficult to find, especially if it's completed. The overall search feature not working well can mean you have to be very, very organized. > > Overall, I think that Asana is a really good productivity tool for us. My agency managed a team of 35 with multiple service departments out of Asana, and it made things really clean and easy to use. Their time tracking features, however, are kind of lacking, so we ended up using other tools in conjunction with that. ----- ### "Asana takes the heavy lifting out of work organisation." — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *14 August 2026* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It connects to ChatGPT. I like being able to break large projects into smaller, manageable tasks to work through. > > **Cons**: The learning curve was a bit of a struggle, but once I had it set up to work for me, I was glad I spent the time on it. > > I like the organisational aspect of it and it is so easy to leave a lone for a day and come straight back into it and know what to workj on. ----- ### "Asana, the best Coworker" — 5.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *17 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Asana makes work management easy with task tracking, project tracking, and rolling that all up into our objectives and goals. Collaboration is made easy with comments, tagging, and assignment. Rules and automation as well as custom fields enable us to truly modify Asana to be our own. It empowers us to take so much busy work off our plates and really get down to what matters. > > **Cons**: Asana previously offered some features in their original Enterprise tier that we signed up for and almost immediately after we did, they launched a higher Enterprise tier and some of those features went behind that paywall. I do think they've become too enamored of ai and have left other longstanding feature requests lying by the wayside. We do also wish tasks could be assigned to multiple individuals. > > On the whole, Asana empowers our work. We don't forget things now, our processes for many teams including facilities, HR, IT, Marketing, Development, and requisition live and breathe in Asana. It's freed us up to innovate and spend time on what matters. ----- ### "A for Awesome\!" — 5.0/5 > **Misty** | *6 August 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Asana is that it gives me one place to organize projects, assign tasks, set deadlines, add notes, attach documents, and track progress. I can see what is moving forward, what is stuck, and what has apparently been abandoned and left to die. It is also flexible enough to work for different types of projects. I can use lists, boards, timelines, calendars, recurring tasks, and templates depending on what I am working on. It helps keep the team accountable without requiring me to chase everyone down all day asking for updates. Asana has definitely improved productivity and communication because everyone can see the same information in real time. When used correctly, it reduces confusion and keeps projects from living in someone’s inbox, notebook, or memory. > > **Cons**: The biggest downside is that Asana is only as good as the people using it. If team members do not update their tasks, check notifications, or actually mark things complete, then it quickly becomes a very organized record of everything nobody is doing. It can also become overwhelming if there are too many projects, notifications, subtasks, and due dates flying around. Without clear rules for how the team should use it, things can get cluttered fast. Some of the best features are only available on paid plans, and costs can add up as the team grows. There are also times when setting up automations, permissions, or more complicated workflows feels like it should be easier than it is. > > Overall, my experience with Asana has been very positive. It has helped me organize projects, manage deadlines, track responsibilities, and keep everyone on the same page. I especially like being able to see the full picture of a project without digging through emails, text messages, handwritten notes, and whatever random place someone decided to save the information. It has made managing multiple projects much easier and has helped our team become more organized and accountable. It is not perfect, and it cannot force people to actually complete their tasks, which is honestly rude, but it gives us the structure and tools we need to work more efficiently. When the team uses it consistently, Asana is extremely valuable. It keeps work visible, reduces confusion, and makes it much harder for important tasks to quietly disappear into the void. ----- Page: 1 / 547\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/5576/asana?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/5576/asana) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
