Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Keeps requests better organized
The best feature Trello offers is that it keeps things better organized, so it makes things easier to collaborate with people. I can say that I really enjoyed using Trello for a lot of things, and it has some really good features, such as helping people write out descriptions and the comment section being absolutely one of the best parts of it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The reporting part is very good."
"Projects do not take as long and meetings take less time, since you know the status of developments or tests."
"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure out how to make it work for you."
"While Nasuni has a learning curve, it becomes user-friendly once mastered."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"The solution is great for project management."
"The best feature Trello offers is that it keeps things better organized, so it makes things easier to collaborate with people."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
 

Cons

"Some of the reports could be automated."
"Trello could be improved by having a better notification system. Currently, notifications flood my inbox, making it hard to differentiate what I actually need to open."
"There doesn't seem to be a good way to organize a parent project, such as an epic card, and then have sub-cards."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"It is hard to track completed requests and show performance based on closed cards."
"Reporting features could be improved."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool's pricing is average."
"The pricing starts from around $6 per license for a subscription, and there might be higher subscriptions available, possibly around $12 per month."
"The solution pricing is okay. The pricing is subscription-based and depends on the features that you need. If you need more features then you will need to pay more. You can use the basic features to lead your project management."
"We are using the open-source version of Trello."
"Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
"I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
"Trello has a really good price."
