Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score

1.0

Planisware is highly valued in pharma for project management, though opinions differ on its financial benefits and effectiveness.

Sentiment score

4.2

Trello's free version saves time, enhances workflows, and organizes tasks, providing value despite users' challenges in quantifying ROI.

It is primarily used for the pharma vertical and related fields, and since we were running a full ERP digital transformation project in the life sciences domain, it suited that requirement very well.

Sometimes I feel that the ROI is not optimal because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.

Sometimes we can have a back-and-forth conversation in the comments, which helps minimize some meetings.

Customer Service

Sentiment score

2.8

Planisware's customer service is enthusiastic yet dependent on costly advanced support, with some feedback noting varied response accuracy.

Sentiment score

2.1

Trello is intuitive with mixed technical support satisfaction; users appreciate online resources but note occasional support delays from time zones.

The support was good, but there's more space for collaboration that we can do internally through Planisware, which was not the case.

We experienced a couple of issues, and they responded and resolved the issues and bugs promptly.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

4.9

Planisware offers stable scalability on resourceful servers, with customization on-premises and strategic modifications for extensive user environments.

Sentiment score

6.1

Trello is effective for small teams but faces scalability limitations for larger organizations, needing better management and integration features.

The scalability of Planisware is good, as when you want to implement changes, you need to manage the process with your collaborators.

We experienced crashes in the upcoming year, but these mostly occurred on weekends, which minimized the impact on our users.

Stability Issues

Planisware, especially in SaaS, is stable and reliable, with minor bugs, and praised by companies like Pepsico and Ford.

Sentiment score

6.8

Trello is stable and reliable, highly rated by users, with minor issues in flexibility and performance under extensive data.

They have made significant improvements, but still, there is a long way to go in terms of their flexibility, adaptability, and usability.

Room For Improvement

Planisware needs enhancements in integration, UI/UX, reporting, accessibility, stability, collaboration, flexibility, and third-party system integration.

Trello users seek enhanced time tracking, integration, customization, notifications, and improved mobile experience for better task and team management.

The integrations to Agile are essential; we had to do a full build to accomplish that.

StevenThompson

Solution Architect at Think People

We have experienced crashes in Planisware and system slowdowns.

Puja Mahato

The reports should be improved because all companies now need reporting, and with tools such as Grafana or Tableau, Planisware needs to add interfaces for data lakes since all companies require this.

More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

Ariel Lindenfeld

It would be beneficial to have a search system that can pull up topics using keywords or AI-driven capabilities, making it easier to find relevant cards.

A way to manage an overall project with all the specifications, and then managing all the sub-cards related to that project.

Valuable Features

Planisware provides robust project management with resource planning, data integration, Agile support, and built-in BI tools for enhanced decision-making.

Trello offers intuitive drag-and-drop functionality, Kanban-style visualization, easy collaboration, and flexibility across devices with customizable organization options.

The tools communicate with other tools, making it effective, and when we have a new resource, we can add it and send it to the resource management team, who can view it in Planisware.

It replaces ping-ponging emails back and forth with a board where people can follow a task from start to finish and see when it's done.

Highly robust tool enhances project management for large-scale programs

The tool can be improved with integrations to Agile tools. We used Azure DevOps, which I dislike. Better integrations to JIRAs and perhaps open APIs for task management would be super beneficial. As a project management tool, it is perfect, but the ability to be agile with task management could improve it. There is always an opportunity for more flexibility regarding integrated reporting. The project dashboard feature worked perfectly for small to small-medium projects, but on a large scale, it was not flexible enough to handle a program-level dashboard. However, that is probably a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have. The integrations to Agile are essential; we had to do a full build to accomplish that.

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.
