Asana for Outlook

How responsive and fast it is, and easy to create and manage tasks.

The file size limit is too small, number of team members allowed is also too small for what we are paying

Let me collaborate with other team members in different department. Easy to keep track of tasks and follow up with the assignees on due dates and progress.

As a project manager, I am very particular about adding timelines and ensuring that dependencies and subtasks are properly set. What I like most about Asana is the ability to switch between different views. I start with the list view to outline all of my tasks, and I can even create a list in the description and convert them into subtasks – it’s so nifty! Once I’m all set, I can easily switch to Timeline view and then to Calendar view. This is so much better than the previous tools we've used, where I had to configure the dashboard or install third-party applications just to get the view I needed. The automation setup, where tasks automatically move to the Completed column, is also a nice touch!

As a person who sweats the small stuff, I could probably say a very minor annoyance but not that I hate, is probably when I open the subtask window and I have no option to go back to the parent task window. Instead, I have to close the window altogether and go back to the parent task.

In a project, no matter how big or small, a robust project management tool is imperative. Ensuring the project timelines are met, communication within the team and stakeholders are accounted, and a central hub for the source of truth are just few of the problems that Asana solved for us. One project that benefitted the most is during site migrations where a specific set of guidelines needs to be met. Right out of the bat, Asana provided an avenue for everyone to see the progress. Developers gets an asynchronous access to guides and information, and a minor task of summarizing the inbox is taken cared of by the AI.

Asana helps me stay organized and in control of my workload every single day. As an online marketer managing tasks for multiple clients, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, but Asana brings structure and clarity. I love how intuitive the interface is, and how easy it is to create, assign, and track tasks across different projects. The ability to see everything in one place, from deadlines to priorities, is a huge time-saver. I also really appreciate the flexibility in views (list, board, calendar), which lets me work the way that suits me best.

There’s honestly very little to dislike. If I had to pick something, it would be that some of the more advanced features are only available in the premium plans, which can be limiting for smaller teams or freelancers. Also, with so many features available, it can take a bit of time for new users to fully understand how to use the platform efficiently. But once you’re used to it, it’s incredibly powerful.

Asana helps me manage a high volume of tasks across multiple clients without losing track of anything. Before using Asana, I often relied on scattered to-do lists and email threads, which made it hard to keep an overview and meet deadlines efficiently. Now, I can organize everything in one place, prioritize my work, and collaborate smoothly with others. It reduces stress, saves time, and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks — which is crucial when you're handling different projects at once.

The tool is fast, even with big boards and plenty of tickets, the app stays responsive and synchronous. The base configuration is good for simple projects, and it is possible to adapt it for bigger projects or organizations.

The tool is supposed to accommodate every kind of project and business, but it is not built for product-oriented organizations that work with sprints or cycles. Quickly it becomes impossible to track things, the dashboards get valueless. It is needed to tweak Asana in order to make it work in this fashion.

It allows us to track the work by tickets and by projects, to assign these tickets to people and follow where we are on a day-by-day basis.

I love how Asana’s intuitive interface makes it easy to visualize and organize work across multiple projects. The ability to create custom fields, rules, and automated workflows dramatically reduces manual handoffs, while robust integrations with tools like Slack and Google Drive keep everything connected. As a project manager, I especially appreciate the Portfolio and Workload views for high-level reporting and capacity planning—everything I need is in one place.

the downside for me is i cannot custome a rule to trigger based on who triggers my rule, for example, if my manager makes a comment, i cant make a rule that when "managers name" makes a comment, turn "status field" to "reviewed needs update"

it solve our repetitive tasks, as well as solves our speed issue with the use of the AI tool

Seems easy to use and more intuitive than other project management software I have used.

Not sure yet as I am just starting and learning how to use the software.

We intake thousands of requests a year and need to organize and keep track of them as they are being worked on. This system seems to be easy to use and automation helps with moving work through our processes.

I like the ability to have a glance of high level activities and the flexibility to ensure the little details are not missed with use of subtasks and rules.

There isn't much downside - I wish the mobile app was a bit more like the desktop version.

Cross departmental functionality as several groups are involved in each project we manage.

Easy for team to transition to - easy and straight forward with minimal to no training needed.

Not able to automatically move dependent tasks if main task due date changes.

Identifying tasks that are pending, holding team accountable by having visbility to tasks. Also identifying workload for team members and adjusting work load accordingly

- simplicity, it's so simple and do the job correct. - notification system - when i get a notification from Asana, the notification contains all the required details for getting the context. - reminders of the remaining tasks each day.

so far so good, I feel so good when it comes to Asana.

- tracking my tasks. - tracking my projects. - split my big tasks into smaller tasks and manageable units of work.

It's aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely user-friendly and functional in the most practical of ways. The flair makes it fun, but the workflow technology and ability to multi-home, customize, and report makes it an essential software product for any organization. A new-hire template was used and provided to me in order to facilitate my onboarding, and it was the best orientation experience I've ever had at a new job. I have continued to learn and fall more in love with the product ever since! Any time I have a question, the Asana team members are quick to help, whether via customer support or the Asana forum. The skill badges offered in Asana Academy are intuitive, informative, and supremely helpful for getting the most out of this platform.

If I create and configure a template on behalf of a colleague, I continue to receive notifications about their changes - I wish there were a way to create a project for someone and then remove yourself. Knowing Asana, there is most likely a way to do this (as they've thought of just about everything!) but I just have not figured it out yet!

We serve partners on a year-long contract, so being able to launch a new project from a pre-saved template when they onboard to guide us through the entire year (with one click!) is amazing. It's also supreme for onboarding new hires internally. As a start-up, we collaborate heavily, so the multi-homing is a must. It's also helpful to utilize the Workload view to see who needs things removed from their plate and who may have a little space for a special project. Most importantly, it just ensures nothing that needs doing falls through the cracks.
