Great for project management, very reliable, and simple to deploy
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is great for project management."
  • "It is not a scalable product."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for agile project management. I use Trello to list all the tickets that the development team needs to resolve.

You can list all tickets that the development team needs to develop. Once they finish, they can pass the ticket to the next list for testing. Once the ticket is tested, they can pass it to deployment. Once the item is deployed, they can close this ticket.

It helps to manage the life cycle of a ticket or of the requirements in development. You list it. You capture it. You schedule it. For each requirement, you try to ensure that it passed all stages of development, testing, deployment, and closing.

What is most valuable?

The solution is great for project management. It helps us track the progress of work and tickets. 

It is very easy to deploy the solution.

I have found the solution to be stable.

In general, it works very well. 

What needs improvement?

It is not a scalable product.

There are no features that are lacking. We're pretty happy with its functionality.

They could offer more integration with other tools - especially those that test some requirements in tickets.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product does not scale. 

We have 15 people in the company that use it right now. We do not plan to increase usage at this point. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never dealt with technical support. I don't know how helpful they are. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've used Microsoft Project in the past.

How was the initial setup?

The product is straightforward to implement. It's not complex at all. You can deploy it in less than a day. 

I work for the development team, so I did not deploy it personally. There was another team member that handled the process. I just use it. 

What about the implementation team?

Since it is so easy to deploy, anyone can do it. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing covers all of the functionalities of the product. It has everything your team needs. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm an end-user.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Designed for team collaboration and project management; user interface is easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

In our company, our use case for Trello is that it's used for individual projects, e.g. for our marketing department, data department, etc. We use it to assign tasks, to track what stage each task is currently on, to add notes, etc. We use the solution to check the progress within various departments and various projects that we have within our company.

How has it helped my organization?

The key benefit that Trello has provided to our company is organization. Currently, for each department and each project, we know where we are and what we still have on our plate. We know what's top priority and what's low priority, etc. Trello provides basic organization across all departments within our company.

What is most valuable?

Personally, I love the user interface of Trello, because it's very modern, easy to understand, and it allows you to move one task from stage to stage through its drag and drop functionality.

I also love that you're able to add images, tag your colleagues, and provide updates within any kind of task.

These are the main features and functionalities I enjoy the most out of Trello.

What needs improvement?

Its hard to say what could be improved in Trello, because it does what it was designed to do, and it's simple, so it's really hard to come up with any flaws.

If I were to name one, it will be for the solution to have more integrations, e.g. they already have quite a few, but we're heavy users of a CRM called Creational, and there's no direct integration with that particular CRM system, but that CRM system is one of the top five CRMs out there. I found it quite odd and strange that integration between Trello and Creational isn't available, while for Salesforce, it's there. Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement for Trello.

I also haven't actually looked too much into it, and I'm not sure if this is currently available in Trello: having something along the lines of WhatsApp, where you're able to hold down a button and leave a voice message for your colleagues. It's an additional feature I'd love to see in the next release of Trello, because I think that's also a very quick and great way to be able to communicate with your colleagues. It'll be so much quicker than having to type long sentences or paragraphs to explain. Having voice messaging as an additional functionality in Trello would be great.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been active users of Trello for the past five years. It's a cloud-based solution, so it automatically gets updated, and this means we're always on the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of Trello is top-notch. I would rate it five out of five. It's super stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability in Trello is amazing. If you have a big project or an existing project, you want to create a new Trello board in just a couple of clicks. Being able to invite additional employees, team members, and colleagues, would take just a few clicks, e.g. you just need to input their emails or the first name, last name, and emails. Invite are sent, so they're able to log in, and they're integrated directly. Everything is very fast and easy to use.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We tried to use other solutions that turned out to be a little bit more complex, e.g. Monday.com, Asana, and quite a few other ones. We've actually tested around 10 different solutions, and we were looking for something a little bit more structured, a little bit more organized. After testing all these other solutions, we understood that simplicity is key and that's basically why Trello won. That's why we've been using Trello for the past five years.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for Trello was very simple, that even a six year old child would be able to do it and use it. You go to the site as it's all browser-based, but I know that they also have an application that's available on Android and iOS.

To use the app, all you need to do is to download it, log into your account, and you'll be ready to go. It's super simple. You're also able to customize the stages, but it literally takes seconds to do, including creating your own Trello cards, and your own pages. The process was very quick, easy, and intuitive.

What about the implementation team?

We didn't have to use a consultant or integrator to implement Trello. I doubt that anybody would actually use one for this solution, unless they have something crazy in mind.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Trello has a paid version, but we've been using just the free version. It covers all of the bases and all of our needs for us, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, because you can take advantage of those functionalities without having to pay for the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure who the cloud provider is for Trello, but I'm assuming it's AWS.

We have eight to ten people using Trello in our company. It's just all management, e.g. the executive level, the team leads, it's management across the board. We're not a huge organization, but it's being used extensively. It's being used daily, e.g. we do have weekly calls with our main management team, and the first thing we do on every call is opening up Trello. We go through all of the cards to find out what's outstanding, what's moving, etc. This is how we operate, and this is how we're staying organized, through using Trello on a daily basis.

As the organization grows and we have more people in management, we could increase usage of Trello, and start including more people, but we're also potentially thinking of a way to be able to implement it and having just regular employees on there as well. It just adds a whole new level of organization to our business.

I've not had the chance to contact the technical support team of Trello, because for all of the years I've used it, absolutely nothing breaks, and nothing goes wrong. I'm not even sure they have a support team, e.g. I'm sure they do, but I've never had the need to actually contact them.

My advice to people looking into implementing Trello is to just do it. It's really a great software, and it's very easy to use. It's a great collaboration tool, as long as you implement it into your organization properly. I always have a game plan. You shouldn't expect to implement any kind of software and feel that it's going to make drastic changes to your organization. Make sure you have a game plan behind it, so once you're implementing it, you understand what kind of stages you need on your Trello board, and building processes behind that.

I'd give Trello a rating of nine out of ten, because I just don't believe that any product would be perfect. We really enjoyed using Trello, but we're hoping they'd surprise us in the future, e.g. through a new feature or functionality we haven't even thought about. We'll definitely continue using the solution, in the hope that they'd grow to be bigger and better.

Helps eliminate silos, and reduce our on-premises infrastructure, but it is not stable
Pros and Cons
  • "While Nasuni has a learning curve, it becomes user-friendly once mastered."
  • "The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."

What is our primary use case?

We migrated data from a NetApp storage system to a Nasuni cloud storage solution.

While we primarily used AWS for our Nasuni storage, we migrated a portion of it to GCP due to cost concerns.

How has it helped my organization?

Nasuni eliminates the need for multiple data silos and toolsets by providing a single, unified global file system. This is particularly beneficial for us as the Global File System allows seamless access for our numerous global customers.

With Nasuni, we can dynamically provision file storage capacity wherever needed, eliminating the need to predict future project requirements. This on-demand scalability is invaluable for managing unpredictable storage demands.

Nasuni Access Anywhere worked well.

Nasuni helped minimize our on-premises infrastructure.

What needs improvement?

We encountered difficulties establishing a stable connection between Nasuni and our network. Additionally, we experienced a lack of adequate communication and support from the Nasuni storage team.

The documentation is not readily accessible.

It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited.

Managing Nasuni can be challenging due to the lack of comprehensive training and support compared to other solutions available.

The implementation of Nasuni increased our workload, as we assumed responsibility for its administration and maintenance.

My experience with the cloud migration was positive. It helped to improve my work by making it more efficient and accessible, which has increased its usefulness for me.

I would like to integrate directly with AWS, eliminating the need for multiple Nasuni boxes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Nasuni for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of Nasuni a five out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We experienced significant difficulty contacting Nasuni's technical support team. Availability was limited, and when we did reach them, escalation of the issue was consistently required. This process was frustrating and time-consuming.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In the past, we used NetApp and Doubletake for various migration projects. Their support was much better than Nasuni's.

How was the initial setup?

Initially, the implementation was complex due to limited support, our unfamiliarity with Nasuni, and the migration to AWS. As we gained experience, the process became smoother. The deployment took one year to complete and involved 18 people migrating 28 terabytes of data.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Nasuni a five out of ten.

We had 18 people using Nasuni.

While Nasuni has a learning curve, it becomes user-friendly once mastered.

To gain the most from Nasuni, I learned the importance of utilizing the knowledge transfer resources and familiarizing myself with the system through the initial prechecks before contacting their support team.

An affordable and convenient product for communicating and collaborating with colleagues
Pros and Cons
  • "Kanban is the best feature of the tool."
  • "Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product for meetings and timelines. We use it to share the status of some projects with the team.

What is most valuable?

Kanban is the best feature of the tool. It is very clear and very good. The desktop solution is good.

What needs improvement?

There are mobile apps for the solution. Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS. If we have one notification, the iOS app shows seven. It indicates that the notifications are still unread. The notifications on mobile apps must be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for almost two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

About ten people use the product in my organization.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy.

What about the implementation team?

I sent messages to the support team through the app when the notifications were not updated on iOS. However, they did not reply.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is cheap. I think the product is cheaper than Zoho.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Helps reduce costs, human errors, and our on-premises footprint
Pros and Cons
  • "All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation."
  • "Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath to automate bill generation each month for our clients.

How has it helped my organization?

While UiPath offers an RF framework, our organization has developed a custom five-stage framework as our internal standard. To utilize this framework, we implemented specific processes to populate the queue with the necessary values. We then process the data sequentially, debugging and finalizing each operation before moving on to the next. Notably, we ensure all transaction features and exceptions are documented beforehand for comprehensive recording.

The UiPath user community is helpful when we are developing any backend operations.

Over the past two years, UiPath has helped us reduce costs by automating previously manual tasks. This has increased our clients' willingness to embrace automation for their standard manual processes. In the event of an automation issue, we can easily raise a ticket through another user interface to have it resolved.

UiPath has helped reduce our on-premises footprint.

UiPath helps speed up digital transformation in the back end.

If the developers write the code correctly, UiPath helps reduce human error by 60 percent.

What is most valuable?

All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation.

What needs improvement?

Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first.

The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this, we need to manually extract elements from all test boxes and ensure the dynamic code is executed within them for proper functionality.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The versions of UiPath that we have used are stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We can scale UiPath to meet our needs.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our previous automation solution proved to be less effective. UiPath, on the other hand, has demonstrated a 95 percent increase in efficiency for our needs.

How was the initial setup?

Initially, the deployment may be complex, but it will become straightforward once we get the hang of it. The deployment doesn't take much time.

What was our ROI?

Our positive return on investment with UiPath has led us to consolidate all our automation efforts on their platform.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

UiPath is cost-efficient.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate UiPath ten out of ten.

Our clients are SMBs.

Maintenance is only required when there are changes or updates made.

I recommend UiPath because it is user-friendly and widely preferred.

An excellent free solution for project tracking, especially for smaller teams
Pros and Cons
  • "Trello is not as complex as most of the other products are."
  • "Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms."

What is our primary use case?

We used the solution to track a few of the project items that were there for our business master project.

What is most valuable?

Trello's tracking features are nice, and it's a free resource, which makes the solution accessible. Trello is not as complex as most of the other products are. It's very straightforward because you can have a very small project and have to-do's associated with it, so you can work with it. It is an easy-to-use tracking tool.

What needs improvement?

Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms.

Moreover, assigning things to people is a little difficult, it doesn't make sense. It would be better if it were easier to assign within a team and if they get notifications immediately via an app such as Slack, for example, if Trello could be integrated. However, there may be integrations available that we did not explore. When we used the solution, it was difficult for us to manage through emails, and most tasks were missed out on because they were not getting tracked properly or people were not getting notified.

The solution also gets a little complex with the way assignments and the tagging of certain tasks could be.

For how long have I used the solution?

We used the solution for five months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I did not face any issues with Trello. I recently saw some updates to the solution after using it again after seven or eight years. I could see that it improved quite a lot.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trello could be more scalable. Our focus was quite restricted and limited, so we might not have explored all the options and features available.

We had six members using a Trello board, but we could extend to 100 users on the same board.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. You just log in on a browser and directly work with it.

People aren't required to set up the solution. You log into the solution, take a new blank project charter or whatever you're trying to create, and then you can categorize your list of tasks. Trello is very simplistic.

The solution does not require maintenance since it is just a web page.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee.

What other advice do I have?

I have not used similar solutions to Trello because when working with a corporation, you would have a dashboard or a project management solution. I don't think Trello has been used in companies or corporations because I doubt it can handle that complexity now. Maybe it will later.

Even though Trello is a simplistic tool, it serves as a good tracking board for projects where you have daily standards or meetings. If companies do not want to invest heavily in project tools, Trello is a good alternative. A small startup could utilize it. If it's a smaller team and a small project without any resource management, Trello could be used. But in bigger projects where we have many things tied up, like cost, resources, and certain modules, it might be a little difficult to use Trello because it's quite simplistic.

I rate Trello a nine out of ten.

A Kanban-style application with features for task management, prioritization, and collaboration
Pros and Cons
  • "I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."
  • "Pricing can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use Trello for task management. We've used it a lot in the last year. I'm able to integrate it within Aha! and link to the Trello board. I kind of use the Aha! side more myself and it feeds into Trello. I do pull up Trello to look and make sure things are in the right spot and we review biweekly in Trello.

How has it helped my organization?

The collaboration features and keeping track of tasks in a shared environment has definitely helped improve our organization.

What is most valuable?

I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful. It's a really easy tool to enter data, keep track of the tasks and management, and update all of that. It's very straightforward.

What needs improvement?

Pricing can be improved. Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level. We're using the integrations on the other side, and I think you only get some of the things if you're not subscribed at a higher level. You only get a certain amount of features. For example, they have this thing called the Butler, and unless you're at a pro-level, you can only use one Butler feature. You have to pay more to unlock certain features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Trello for a year and three months. I think the team's been working with it for probably five or six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trello is a stable solution. I think any instability was probably a user error.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't had any issues scaling Trello up or down.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in my branch and it was pretty basic and pretty easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing can be improved. You have to pay more to unlock certain features.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Trello an eight.
