We performed a comparison between Microsoft Project and Trello based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Resource leveling is very useful. We like this feature. We like to be able to expand tasks and look at different resources and tasks usages. It is good at assigning tasks to teams. It is pretty compliant with the Project Management Institute approach, which is useful for being comprehensive. It allows us to make little Gantt charts and network diagrams."
"The solution is stable."
"The daily tracker is valuable."
"The built-in dashboards are powerful because they show both project and overall progress."
"It is very stable. I haven't had any kind of issues with it. It is also very scalable."
"A lot of valuable features have been added in the last three years, including scheduling automation and intelligence."
"The reporting and national resource capacity planning are the most valuable features."
"I like that I can change the task and include different resources related to the task."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello."
"The product helps with the management of projects."
"I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature."
"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."
"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."
"Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."
"I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."
"Its user experience can be improved while configuring it. Its reporting can also be better. Reporting is not very easy. Reports do not always work. I was trying to download some reports, and they didn't work. I don't know if it was related to the configuration that I was using. I didn't go too deep to check if something was missing."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Tracking timeline, resource allocation, and monitoring are areas of concern for the tool where improvements are required."
"What could have been better is the integration with Office 365 so that if you're discussing a project on Teams or there's an email related to the project, it can be tagged to the project in Microsoft Project. That functionality is currently not there."
"I am not that close to it anymore, but I know that there were some cut and paste issues when we were trying to move one group of roles to another, and they used to muck up the interdependencies between the tiers, rows, and other things."
"I find the setup a little bit cumbersome."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
"If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"As a team board it did not work well for us."
"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."
"I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket."
