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."
"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."
"The Trello board is very intuitive and simple to comprehend."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."
"It helped us to organize project information and assign tasks to team members properly."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is great for project management."
 

Cons

"Some of the reports could be automated."
"There doesn't seem to be a good way to organize a parent project, such as an epic card, and then have sub-cards."
"Reporting features could be improved."
"Trello wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"Trello has become complex over the years."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Trello could improve from a UI and UX standpoint and should consider adding enhanced functionality from a release management standpoint."
"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
"Trello has a really good price."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
"Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee."
"It is free."

What do you like most about Trello?
The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Trello?
I do not know about the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Trello because this part was handled by another coworker, and I never worked with that part.
What needs improvement with Trello?
Sometimes I get notifications in one hour, and I would prefer to receive them immediately in just a small stack, such as within two or three minutes, not an hour.
