The limitations as an intitee on a team account

Indispensable tool for larger projects
I used Asana for various projects in private and business context. Especially in larger teams or teams with agile workflow Asana is a huge help.
Pros
Easy project management with a variety of tools that support with planning and tracking. Easy collaboration and nice views for better insights in current status and ongoing tasks. The comment sections makes it easy to ask questions to other team members.
Cons
Free plan has some limitations. Unfortunately, they discontinued the "free for students" offer. This is a huge drawback since I used to teach my students some advanced aspects of project management using Asana Premium features as an example.

Where or where did my old Asana go? It went greedy.
It used to be very positive, not it is just a money-hungry disappointment.
Pros
It used to have an ease of use. Very vitually appealing and easy for staff to follow. I also enjoyed the Celebration Creatures.
Cons
Since developing a paid version, more and more functions have been stripped from the paid one. And the paid version is incredibly expensive for a small, independent business. The search function is impossible, you can't get rid of detritus, etc. I can no longer recommend them.

Asana - it runs my life - and that's a GREAT thing!
Very positive - I've used it while working for three separate organizations, and introduced it to co-workers in two of those organizations, and it has ALWAYS changed the way we work for the better!
Pros
I LOVE how functional it is for small and medium sized teams - even the free portion of it?
Cons
From time to time, Asana does change the URLs of their various tools, which means bookmarking can be a problem.

Integrating Asana For Workflow Efficiency
It makes our workflow much, much easier and communication much more effective. Our design team is able to stay aligned through their simplified interface, which makes it very simple to track tasks and deadlines. But there have been some occasional glitches, but these are generally minor and do not impede on our productivity.
Pros
Its very convenient to use task management system in Asana and seamless integration make it a hit. Customizable templates allow the workflows to be tailored to specific projects and help teams to be more efficient. Asana continuous collaboration features help its team members communicate instantly, get updates, and track progress without any hiatus, and it is a powerful choice for product designers.
Cons
Asana has its strengths but could use a couple of extra bells and whistles, as far as reporting goes, which would give a bit deeper knowledge about project timelines and resource allocation. Additionally, the mobile app's UI needs to be cleaner and more streamline in order to execute the navigation, in which the user can even perform the tasks easily on the go.

Cons
It can be a bit hard for one to navigate the software. The software needs proper time to acclimatize.

A powerful tool but might be too much for small teams/businesses
Overall it's a great app, I think it's just not for me. But I can see why so many businesses use it. It's powerful and capable.
Pros
Asana has a sleek modern interface, is used by many companies, and offers a wide range of tools for task and project management.
Cons
For me personally, Asana always felt like too much to handle. With a lot of tasks on my plate as both an employee and manager using Asana on multiple different occasions, I always felt like the app offers way too much for me to comprehend with my busy schedule and limited resources.

An Absolute Must to Stay Sane During the Workday
Asana has made my productivity increase greatly. When I share tips and tricks with my team they're amazed at how much more efficient they can be. I don't think I could work without Asana. If my company didn't provide Asana for us, I would still use it.
Pros
It keeps me organized!! It is so easy to see what I have to do, what others on my team are working on, and when everything is getting done. I love how we can communicate in Asana, provide updates on workflows, and easily adjust as needed. It's amazing that we can work with clients on other boards and just overall streamline workstreams.
Cons
That not everyone uses it, so sometimes have to figure out how to get people on board or integrate our system with theirs.

I'm in LOVE!
It has been a life saver and honestly I could not manage my team without it.
Pros
The calendar view. In one screen I can see what my entire team has going in the upcoming days and how full our schedule is.
Cons
The phone app. I wish it was a little more robust. Lacking the calendar view is what I dislike the most about the app and why I don't use it much in my manager roll.

My Brain Now Functions in an Asana View
I love Asana, and am a HUGE advocate for it. I am a huge fanatic when it comes to organizing in a way that communicates everything necessary to help understand where something is in a process, without needing to be physically asked, and Asana makes this more than possible. I was introduced to Asana in a workplace, and now utilize it in my own personal life.
Pros
Simply that it exists. The ability to communicate all statuses, efforts, and steps in a process between all departments without needing to literally communicate, is incredible. Including the ability to template processes, and tasks.
Cons
I would appreciate it if it was easier to make sections templated easier. I am sure there may be a way to do that, but I do not know how.

Asana Collaboration as a powerful engine
The ease of use, together with highly advanced collaborative features, have revolutionized how we engage content. It has cut down emails and minimized their chiming with more efficient ways of giving an individual a task, due date, and feedback at once.
Pros
Asana sets apart from the competition, where it offers Timeline, which is a perfect display of project layout to identify causes for delays.
Cons
Perhaps one of Asana’s weaknesses is its search ability. It is difficult to locate particular activities or discussions, particularly when a project comprises many tasks.

Simple yet fully effective
Excellent and I couldn't see our company wanting to replace the software. The other thing to mention is that I am sure there resolution services are good however we have never needed to contact them in the years that we have been a customer. The software never seems to glitch which is unheard of.
Pros
It is so effortless to use. Instead of software trying to justify its cost by making things more complicated than it needs to be, asana just allows you to tailor exactly the internal sheets you need so you can collaborate easily with a widespread team.
Cons
The only downside with Asana is just its level of integration with other software that we use on a daily basis. We knew that Asana didn't integrate with the software we wanted it too but decided that it was still worth implementing within our business.

It just looked like it had the ability to give us templates that were able to be tailored best to our needs as a business.

Great project management software
Overall, Asana meets all of our needs and the large portion of our wants.
Pros
I love being able to keep everyone on the same page. When implementing our software product, Asana lets each person on the project know what is expected of them and what is expected of others. There is no "I thought you were doing that" or "what are we waiting on". Asana eliminated this. I also love being able to build templates that I can utilize again and again. I don't have to start over each time.
Cons
I wish that Asana had the ability to segment users more. I want complete control over who can comment, who can post, who can complete task, etc. Asana does some of this but it needs to be more granular.

How does Asana help a team of affiliate marketing managers?
Asana has been a great tool for project management. It's intuitive once you get the hang of it and really helps streamline team collaboration and task tracking.
Pros
The main highlight for me is how Asana helps organize tasks and projects visually. The customizable boards, lists, and timelines make it easy to manage workflows and collaborate with my team.
Cons
The learning curve can be a bit steep for new users. Some features, like reporting and task dependencies, are more complex and require extra time to set up properly. However after becoming comfortable with Asana and its features, it is an undeniably useful tool.

Asana is a highly approachable project management platform
I was introduced to Asana four years ago by a director I was working with. We used it to track our marketing projects. Since then I've used Asana with two other teams, and each time I've joined a new team the platform quickly became indispensable to our project management. It's how I plan my day, update my clients on projects and collaborate with team members.
Pros
Using Asana is intuitive. It's so easy to pick up. Especially once you find the task view you prefer. I like using the Calendar and Gantt views, but there's something for everyone. It also is a great system of record for projects. The whole team can connect on a project's overall progress but also on its details, and the ability to add hyperlinks and attach docs to tasks keeps everything in one place, which is indispensable for successfully managing bigger projects.
Cons
I don't dislike anything about Asana, but I've used different tiers of Asana throughout the years and am currently using a tier that doesn't include the ability to set a project's status. I miss that feature.

Asana is the Best in Task Management
I have enjoyed using Asana both professionally and in my personal task management. It keeps me organized and ensures my team completes projects on time. We build full process maps that outlines exactly who is responsible for what at every stage of a project.
Pros
I love the ability to organize projects with tasks, sub-tasks, and even sub-sub-tasks. We can assign people to each task with specific due dates. My whole team is always on the same page because of this task management system.
Cons
The only con is that I would love to have more flexibility on how I organize the projects, because my company has quite a few and they can be cumbersome to locate at times.

The organizer of your tasks
I usually use Asana when I need to organize events at work, as well as to keep track of each task and project. Additionally, I can monitor the progress of the project or task.
Pros
I have found Asana very useful for my work area since it allows me to create projects together with my team. Additionally, Asana has allowed me to assign a name to the project, break down the tasks, assign responsibilities to each team member, and set a deadline for each task.
Cons
What I haven't liked about this tool is that it can be complex to use when you're a new member, but it's just a matter of time to learn.

Don't Just Take My Word for It - This Tool Will Change Your Project Management Life
No more task-tracking tears or deadline drama. It keeps my projects organized, my team on the same page, and automates the boring stuff. Sure, reports could be fancier, but hey, it integrates with other tools like a champ. Overall, it's a productivity power-up! You tried it?
Pros
Planning meetings with my team used to be a nightmare! Asana's calendar view makes scheduling a breeze. Everyone can see each other's availability and book time directly – it's a lifesaver!
Cons
Asana excels at visual project tracking, giving you a clear picture of progress. However, for those who need super detailed reports on things like team performance or resource allocation, Asana's reporting features might not be as comprehensive. The good news is Asana integrates well with many business intelligence tools, so you can create those in-depth reports if needed.
