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

Pros

"The reporting part is very good."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."
"All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation."
"The installation was extremely straightforward."
"Trello is very easy to install and set up, it is also easy to use, its interface is excellent, and it is stable and quite secure."
"Kanban is the best feature of the tool."
"Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."
"The product has a lot of integrations."
 

Cons

"Some of the reports could be automated."
"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."
"There aren't as many tracking tools."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"It is somewhat challenging to move to the automation part of Trello."
"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."
"We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee."
"We are currently using the open-source option."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"We are using the open-source version of Trello."
"Trello has a really good price."
"We didn't need to pay for the solution."
"Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."
"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."
