A project management tool that helps to manage milestones and dependencies

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 setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation."
"Trello simplifies collaboration, reducing long email chains that are hard to follow."
"The most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order."
"The product helps with the management of projects."
"I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."
"Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around the mobile version of the product that was easy to use."
 

Cons

"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"There aren't as many tracking tools."
"Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."
"We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other."
"Trello was available as a standalone version that does not allow you to collaborate with other people."
"Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues."
"Trello could be improved by having a better notification system. Currently, notifications flood my inbox, making it hard to differentiate what I actually need to open."
"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."
"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"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."
"We are using the open-source version of Trello."
"I am tinkering with the free version."
"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."
"The product is cheap."
"We are currently using the open-source option."
"It is free."
