We performed a comparison between monday.com 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."The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that we can make the tool as we want, in the way it is the most useful for us."
"The sub-items have been incredibly helpful."
"The stability is good."
"Since we've incorporated Monday.com, we've dropped fewer balls, greatly improved our ability to cover for employees while they are out, and keep our sales team and account coordination team all updated in real-time on each project."
"It allows us to know in advance when each part of the project would be finished, and thus optimize our time."
"Since I'm using it for a variety of purposes, not just project management, I can customize boards and workspaces based on the needs of that particular workflow."
"The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I love that Monday.com has boards that can change with a click from a list, to a calendar, to a form that you can send and collect data, etc."
"I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature."
"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."
"The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards."
"It helped us to organize project information and assign tasks to team members properly."
"The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need."
"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's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive."
"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"We would like to see better Microsoft Outlook integration."
"More customizations for automation would be useful."
"Constant updates mean the service is down sometimes, which isn't ideal."
"Having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"While I appreciate the templates, some of them are extremely complex and not as tailored to non-profit work so they required quite a bit of customizing (but worth the trouble)."
"The stability could be improved."
"The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."
"If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms."
"There aren't as many tracking tools."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"Trello wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them."

This is a good question, but the starting point would be to understand whether your focus is on project management software or portfolio management software because there is a big difference between the two.
In terms of software, project management software is really focused on managing individual projects and can help communicate information about a specific project. Project management software is commonly used by Project Managers and the project team members. Portfolio management software though is focused on the entire portfolio of projects to give senior leaders holistic visibility of those projects. Portfolio management software helps senior leaders to make better strategic decisions. Check out this article for more information on this topic: https://acuityppm.com/project-...
Hi Netanya, for complez projects I recommend Basecamp or Microsoft Project, but for small or low complexity projects I suggest Trello. Best regards.
Hi Netanya,
Trello is a simple and effective project management tool that is easy to use and has a variety of features that can help you manage your projects effectively. Asana is a more comprehensive project management tool that has more features and is more complex to use. Monday.com is a project management tool that is designed to be used by teams, and has features that allow for collaboration and communication within teams.
But, I would recommend Trello, because it is a simple and effective project management tool. It is easy to use and has a variety of features that can help you manage your projects effectively.
Hi Netanya,
If you want to reach a quick-wins at the portfolio level with an intelligent algorithmic and automated approach please look at my favourite tool called Aangine.
It gives you capabilities to run multiple What-if scenarios at the portfolio level, considering various constraints on capacity, budgets, timing and prioritization. It helps PMOs/SPMs very quickly to perform risk & value analysis and run impacts analysis to see what happens if suddenly priorities/capacity/budget will be changed. Visibility on future horizons, possibly bottlenecks and risks gives you the opportunity to compare and run an intelligent algorithm to optimise your future portfolio within a new reality immediately. As an outcome, in the first couple of quarters, you will get significant results on your execution side of the way of working.
Regarding the execution part of the delivery for the corporate customers, I would recommend Micro Focus PPM review.
Kind regards,
I. Bayraktar
I’ve used Trello, Asana, and Monday.com.
My favorite by far is ClickUp due to following reasons:
1. It’s inexpensive.
2. Support is great.
3. Very flexible - we do sprints with points and it’s great for this.
4. They are constantly launching new improvements.
5. Most important - my team loves ClickUp and actually uses it! We particularly like the goals feature.
Jira is what we currently use and I have no complaints about it at all.
Since 1998 I have been using the Planisware project portfolio management solution for multiple pharma organizations.
The application initially had the esoteric name OPX2. For easier international name recognition, its name sensibly became Planisware in 2009 with the release of P5. Subsequent releases of Planisware P5 and Planisware P6 (or V6) and currently Planisware Enterprise (E7) have brought substantive improvements to the stakeholder community in user interface, capabilities, reporting, and performance.
Planisware documentation has evolved markedly with more frequent publishing of detailed functional guides, videos, and release notes, available online for customers and from within the application. For example, the fifth set of release notes for E7, specifically 7.0.4; March 2022, is 133 pages long. Planisware Academy is another tool for gaining proficiency with project and portfolio management.
What I especially enjoy with Planisware is unsurpassed flexibility for managing project activities--not just as list tables and Gantt charts, but also with Kanban cards, roadmaps, stage and gates, deliverables, ideas, etc. Modules for resource management and cost management have similar depth of execution. Another module for tracking risks and opportunities is selectable when needed.
Planisware's implementation of activity types as a discrete breakdown structure facilitates the use of consistent, defined activities across projects and improves the accuracy of planning.
Project templates and activity library features are valuable for creating new projects more efficiently.
Data visualization is another Planisware strongpoint. It's possible to make dynamic slide presentations of working projects.
Given the depth and breadth of Planisware modules and the software's overall capabilities, each corporate organization has to make a long-term commitment to adopting Planisware. Providing stakeholders the opportunity to gain needed proficiencies with Planisware is also essential for reaping the considerable benefits of using this fascinating enterprise solution.
I have experience with Asana. It's an easy-to-use and configure solution, especially for medium and non-complex plans.
