Additional functions make it rather deep, such as being able to crosspost tasks to multiple projects and have granular levels of permission. Their strong involvement with an avid developer community extends Asana to be far broader than its functions out of the box.
Pros
Many permission options.
Cons
Not made for project management (lack of time tracking features). Permission options are nice but can become a security risk.

Also, its abbility to integrate with many different third-party apps lets you create the digital environment that your team needs: You can connect it with InstaGantt to get dynamic Gantt Diagrams of your entire project, use it with Everhour, Harvest or WorkingOn to track and report time on every task, integrate it with Slack or Hipchat to push task updates and conversations into your chat channels... and even connect it with feedback bugtracking tools like TrackDuck and Usersnap.
Pros
- Cloud collaboration - Third-party Integrations - Easy to learn - Flexible - Mobile App - Offers a free plan - Pro plans very affordable - Really nice UI
Cons
- Ir could be a little bit faster on the browser - It would be great if they'd offer a Desktop App for offline syncing.

Not great - seemed to cause more problems than it resolved when collaborating - this might be due to to lack of usage understanding by colleagues (in particular those lacking a technical mindset) but to be honest - not great.
Pros
As a collaboration and task management, sharing and collaboration tool - it does what it says on the tin.i would describe it as a reasonable task management tool.
Cons
Too many email notifications and after a while ditched it and company decided to use Trello instead.

You can do all sorts of things to a task, including adding comments, notifying team members, attaching documents and more.
It has been incredibly user-friendly to create tasks and comment on them and really helps our teams to collaborate cross-departmentally.
Project management, communication, collaboration
Pros
You can tell that time was spent in the user interface & experience, so that project collaboration and management can flow easily.
Cons
Seemed like getting others to adopt using Asana for our team was difficult, possibly because using the UI was very alien to them (many older people on our team).

.) - folders, projects, tags, searches, mail-in inbox, etc.
Pros
Asana allows me to save searches based on due date and tags, something I can't do in Skedpal, and to see my data in some different ways.
Cons
I already have 2 task management systems (Skedpal and Asana) but I have to have a third (Todoist or Keep) if I want location-based reminders!!
