Asana Cons review quotes

Patrick Conley - PeerSpot reviewer
Construction Superintendent at Sila Nanotechnologies Inc.
Dec 5, 2025
A rating of eight is given because a downside exists in that everyone has access and notifications are often received for projects that are not involved in, leading to quite a few emails daily, sometimes around sixty to eighty.

It would be beneficial to have a native option for Asana to create tickets so we could move away from our main ticketing tool.

I still worry about Asana's governance and security because the language around it is ambiguous since everybody keeps changing based on regulations rather than the customer's needs.
