Featured Reviews

Venu Vashistha - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ariel Lindenfeld - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time
There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

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."
"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 solution is great for project management."
"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."
"Another feature that impressed me is the clear Kanban board, as it provides a clear view of to-to tasks, assuring the team not to forget anything."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
"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."
"Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."
"The product helps with the management of projects."
 

Cons

"Some of the reports could be automated."
"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."
"It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated."
"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."
"Trello has become complex over the years."
"I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket."
"The solution could be priced cheaper."
"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."
"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
