Dashboards and reporting
Dashboards are project-only on Starter, lack global filters and cross-project insight, and the genuinely advanced reporting integrations sit on legacy or Enterprise tiers only.
What people actually say
✕Reviewers describe Asana's dashboard layout as limited, with fewer cross-project insights and no global filters across multiple widgets.

Source: Asana help centre, reporting with dashboards ↗✕Power BI and Tableau integrations are restricted to legacy Business and Enterprise tiers, leaving Advanced customers without first-class BI export.

Dashboards in a custom build are just SQL queries against your own Postgres, rendered with Recharts or Tremor, with global filters that apply to every widget on the page. We push the same data into Metabase or Looker Studio if your analysts prefer that, and into Power BI without any 'legacy plan' gatekeeping. New chart = one PR, not a per-seat upgrade.
