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.¿ As with any tool, it can be stretch too far.
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.

Check out the integrations with 3rd-party developers.
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.

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).

They integrate with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box, making for a truly unique experience in file-sharing, because of the way that users can attach a file from their cloud storage. Through the MS Office integration with Dropbox and Box, co-workers can open a file in Asana, edit it in the same window, and save it, so that anyone looking in Asana or the cloud system will see the latest version.
Pros
- easy to use for checklists and projects of all sizes - phenomenal user guide, with lots of pictures and videos non-tech savvy users will appreciate - integration with cloud storage for easy document management - try it for your children's chores!
Cons
- pricing is climbing quickly, especially for new and multi-team users - no built-in Gantt charts - takes some time to understand who will receive notifications of various activities - would be nice to be able to enter more info about sub-tasks without having to open each pane

If you are just getting started with managing projects, organizing a group, or task managers, Asana is easy to use. If you want to manage large projects with it, make sure to include the licensing costs in your budget or they can add up surprisingly fast.
It has allowed us to improve communication management during projects.
Pros
In agile projects it is essential to have a tool adjusted to the needs of immediate communication, this is why Assana allows: - * Add activities and estimated duration times - * dashboard project summary - * visualize the activities assigned to the user or others. depending on the role of each user within the panel - * traceability of the project: between the ounicación and sent elements - * Add labels according to status -*Easy to use - * attach elements as evidence of any information These have been the most favorable points in my use of the tool, Assana
Cons
