GBI'd rather collaborate with my team via fax than use Asana Where to begin...? How about the fact Asana cost me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS after I hired one of their incompetent "certified pros" and then proceeded to gaslight me for 6 months, claiming he set up a perfect system? At one point during the tortuous experience emailing back and forth for months, they offered compensation (I think...) and then WITHDREW IT because the guy who offered it left the company! Switching my whole business workflow over to another company has been a hassle but more than worth it - just to avoid paying Asana (a company who makes millions but can't compensate a loyal customer a cent) any more money. Sheesh.

UAA great tool for teamwork I have been using Asana for over a year now. It is a convenient tool for teamwork. In marketing, there are always many chaotic and inconsistent tasks, so such a platform helps us to structure our work. The only thing I don't really like are the constant mail notifications that are by default. Every morning you have to clean your mail from dozens of notifications.

CAOpaque and sneaky pricing, getting in touch with support is a pain The product itself is decent enough, but the overall experience was terrible. The pricing is intentionally confusing and opaque, and they overcharged me $60 out of the blue. - Website says the starter price is $10.99, but there is no option to get a single seat so the minimum you'll pay is twice that. - The starter plan says it includes unlimited guests so I had team members on the project (who weren't really using the tool, I only needed them on the plan as guests). The first two months I got charged the correct amount, third month I get charged over $100 because they automatically upgraded me to more seats. I didn't ask, approve, or need the upgrade. I contacted customer support and they refused to issue a refund even though I immediately removed the additional people from the list of project members. They site their terms of service which apparently gives them the right to auto-enroll you in a higher plan. - It was difficult to reach customer support since they don't have any live phone or chat service, only a useless and frustrating chatbot. If you're super diligent and don't run into any issues, you'll probably be fine since the product itself is useful (hence the two stars). But I don't like having a product from a company I don't trust that I feel can sneak up charges on me at any moment and then refuse to refund.

MXTons of features with a clean UI I love that Asana is free for small companies like mine. I'm a solo freelancer and don't need a lot of features. But Asana offers a ton of features and I love the UI. Some other 1,2,3 star reviews here talk about pricing problems. The only thing about Asana I don't like is their billing model. If they would remove the 3 user minimum I would actually pay for it. But I'm a freelancer so it doesn't make sense.

HRBilling us for 10 users without heads up and rejecting to remove our card Several times our team was divided into divisions, and as owner of account I didnt have access to all projects. Customer support agreed that we had many tech difficulties because of their error - so they suggested to extend our trial period. Then they didnt extend our trial period and we were billed. We asked for refund and to remove our bank card from system. That was ignored - even though we contacted customer support more than 10 times. Later, we agreed to pay monthly for premium for 3 users. Asana charged us for 10 users, without heads up, without explanation. They refused to refund us again, and our request to remove card is still being ignored. This is scam!
