Asana: Boosting Clarity and Collaboration at Proxifresh Co Ltd
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Asana is its ability to bring structure and clarity to complex, multi-team projects. As a company operating across several business units, Asana gives us a unified platform where we can assign tasks, set priorities, and monitor progress in real time. The timeline and calendar views are especially helpful for maintaining visibility on key deliverables and deadlines. It also encourages accountability and transparency within the team, which has improved our overall execution and follow-up.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Asana is excellent for task and project management, there are a few areas where it could improve. The reporting and analytics features are relatively basic—especially from a CFO’s perspective, where deeper insights into resource allocation, time tracking, and cost efficiency would be highly valuable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before implementing Asana, we faced challenges in project visibility, missed deadlines, and siloed communication across departments. Asana has helped us solve these issues by centralizing all tasks and timelines in one collaborative workspace. This has significantly improved alignment between our teams, reduced delays, and increased accountability across the board.
One key benefit is that we now have better control over project timelines and deliverables, which is especially important in our fast-paced manufacturing and distribution environment. Asana allows us to break down large initiatives into manageable tasks, assign responsibilities clearly, and track progress in real time. This has streamlined our execution, improved follow-up, and ultimately helped us operate more efficiently and with greater confidence in meeting strategic deadlines.

Hinder small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The automations you can build in Asana are limiting, a lot of potential value here. I create workflow automations using zapier instead.

What do you dislike about the product?
- I absolutely HATE the lack of onboarding and the self serve / one size fits all trainings.
If the trainings were more broken out maybe they'd work but Asana has PMs, Copy writers, Tech, etc all taking essentially the same trainings and if you don't know the specific key words to search the asset library isn't very helpful.
- Asana has functionality that they ultimately don't recommend or really support, which my team wasted hours on. While we have processes that are unique to our team and company they are not wildly unique. We created parent tasks with subtasks & some sub-sub-tasks but then when reviewing how to make them into templates were told sub-tasks really aren't recommended because of reporting and automation abilities. A huge reason we switched to Asana was the sub-task and automation functionality so this was very frustrating, especially when there could have been training at the very start showing us how to make Asana work for our needs.
- There is minimal 1:1 training time provided in the package, this is especially noticed when the bulk of the time is spent just discussing our basic needs. After having to have 3+ meetings with Asana before we decided to purchase, I expected a more cohesive experience where these teams talked and I was set up with the tools and processes I said I needed during the research phase.
