Asana helped us getting organized and focus on results. I like the dashboards where you can create stages to track tasks.
We still use Slack and wish some of the Slack features are available within Asana conversations.

It helps with accountability among team mates, as well as for self-discipline
It's integration on slack could be improved

Asana keeps track of all my tasks including ones that are in someone else's court for the time being. I love how easy it is to move a project along to different coworkers by simply changing who is assigned. The notes section is great for remembering important details or giving instructions to coworkers. The app is great for getting timely notifications as well.
You can integrate Asana with Slack to keep things streamlined, but this Slack frenquently is telling me to update my version of Asana.

Overall expereince was good before slack but once after started using slack I found it more useful and easy to use
Not many I can remember can be improved in all the aspects when compared with competitors in this same section
I used Asana before but now switched to Slack, I find Slack is better than Asana, the loading tim, the ease of messages, access to files, team members size etc everything should be improved

Great experience. I'm always work with Asana. In combination whit Slack is great. Every change is notofied to my team via slack message
Great interface, easy to use, you can create a personal project or team project and manage a oard for TODO, timeline, share files, and calendar. Every task can be managed for many tools lika due date, subtask, mark subtask done, and coments history
The first time I tried to change between my personal projects and my team projects I felt lost. It was not intuitive to have to go to my profile icon to change the environment.

Another feature I love is the huge number of integrations available. I use Slack every day and I very much like the Slack integration.
This app is so easy to use! Everyone I've suggested it to comments on just that - they love the choice of boards or lists, and how easy it is to set up sub-tasks. If you have lots of tasks each day, and need a place to track them all, try Asana.
The pricing is a little high for a business that needs teams - but I am a bootstrapper. If you have an established business and Asana's pricing fits within your budget, you will love it.

I'm not a manager for a big project. So, Asana works very good for me. But, reporting tools are not useful. You need extra tools oftenly.
- Simple interface - Great integration Gmail and Slack - Great mobile app - Repeating taks my favorite feature - Good notifications (e-mail, slack, mobile app etc..)
- Reporting tools not good for me - There is no another cons at Asana for me. Reporting is very important for my project. So, i used extra add-on.

Good. User interface not bad. Would like to be able to click out of the task more easily. Takes too long to exit out.
I like that I can see all my tasks in one panel - I used it briefly for some collaboration but now I use it personally to keep track of tasks for life and my business.
Went with slack over Asana for its superior chat feature

This software is so easy to use when everyone is doing different things, you can easily add someone to a task or assign to tasks to others for their daily activities.
The integration into Slack can be a bit off sometimes

Some initially but most were superseded by SLACK
I liked the free application of the software for a start up advisory role I held with a new company
But I have since moved onto SLACK it pains me to say, as it combines most of the factors with better platform.

It's thorough, intuitive, and integrates with Slack.
It's not as aesthetically pleasing to use as Trello. The list feel doesn't offer the same satisfaction as cards, though I appreciate that Asana offers cards now.

- Extremely Flexible - Much easier to learn than other PM Software - Mobile App is great - New slack integration is really cool, allows task creation from slack
infinite flexibility allows for people to use the tool in so many ways things can feel a little bit disorganized if you don't have someone on top of things. Not necessarily the softwares fault, but other PM Software contains more structure to prevent this

-Help to keep the work tasks organised. -Easy to use -Perfect tool for project and task management -Helps in avoiding over communication

Love using Asana. It's great how you get spammed by email if you have overdue tasks or tasks due soon. Not only helps with team productivity but also boosts self management amongst the team and sense of responsibility to take deadlines and timelines very seriously. Highly recommended for companies with predictable recurring marketing or other operations as well as for brainstorming ideas and sharing, ideating amongst teams.
It's just a very nifty tool for small teams to use. Creating recurring tasks, their timeline feature and power ups are all nice add-ons on the paid plan. It's also good to use on the free plan for really small teams.
Their Slack power up is super annoying. You can't choose what notifications you want passed to Slack from Asana. By default, it's everything. Asana should take cues from Trello and fix this.

That it's very easy to set up a new project and upload templates with excel.
I wish the communication resembled slack more and less like an email.

We were looking for a new progress tracker, we were on pivotal at first, then moved to a different system, and now we use asana for some of our smaller tasks.
The interface is beautiful, reminds me of IG+slack
I dislike how slow it can be sometimes

Project management Ease of use Visibility into top tier items Collaboration
Inability to set multiple tags on a task. Slack workflow is only one way — to my knowledge there’s no way to get a slack workflow to automatically post items on a board.

I use it on weekly basis, to update my own tasks within the company or to just put in there future potential tasks. However, our team members are using it daily and it works greatly for them - specially for the customer service team and the operations manager. They can easily stay on track with all new products launches, promotions and daily activities.
The integration with Slack - easy to write a message (task) on any Slack channel and with one click you can transfer it to your Asana boards as an official task.
For me personally, it's vry subjective as I am used to use a competition tool on daily basis. So somehow I am used to that one rather than Asana.

I love Asana for tracking my tasks, it's easy to use and has a friendly UI - the best I've seen out there. My only complaint is that our Project Managers have a difficult time pulling burndown reports, and other necessary reporting tools are not integrated. I'm hoping these will be introduced soon!
Easy to use, Great UI, integrations with slack, harvest etc.
Need better reporting tools

It's one of the best project management tools that I've used so far. It even sends you email reminders of the tasks that are due and overdue. It lets you manage the projects as a team so that everyone has visibility of each team member's responsibility and we can get notified once a task is completed.
It has a slack integration and it can sometimes spam you with Asana notifications.

I would recommend it for group projects. Sort of similar to Slack.
When working on a group project, Asana gave us a way to assign each other tasks, keep track of deadlines and communicate with each other. It's faster and more efficient than using email.
It can be a little confusing to use. Not intuitive but you can get the hang of it.

I can work within multiple teams (outside the org and inside) and still have communication. It is easy to use, and allows for me to ask quick questions without cluttering email.
I wish ASANA implemented better into the platform (but I think that is an ASANA issue).

Satisfied with the expirience. Better integration with other systems would make it even more valuable to a business process
Through the various channels easy to set up communication across different teams as well as for different areas/work projects Easy to use for even new team members when they come onboard the team and ability for them to see hsitory of communication with regard to a team/project
Better intergration with Asana which is a task management software used. If Slack could be integrated to Asana in a way task can be directly created in Asana via Slack would be great

I am a big fan of asana, especially now that I work from home. I appreciate how can I easily contact coworkers in a professional setting.
I was onboarded as an intern remotely and asana has been the primary use of communication in our company. I appreciate how easy it is to deploy channels and touch base with different sectors of our company!
The only thing that is frustrating with asana is that there have been occasional moments when asana has not been working properly.
