Trello Reviews

My company is hiring an outsourced copywriter team for some content purpose. For the first time, we connect by email for exchanging writing documents. Unfortunately, performing tasks by email came up with a poor result that we could not control the progress when several team members participating.

Hence, we need communication software to control the process and results. File storage and process tracking are two key targets. Normal instant text messaging software like Skype or Messenger is not suitable in this case. We have come up with Kanban software, and Trello is one of the top selections.

It separates messaging and files storage, which allows us to handily keep up with updates. Accordingly, we can separate several projects and track the progress with the Kanban table.

In this case, we define tasks by preparing, in progress, and completed to divide results. The completed tasks would be paid from us, while in-progress tasks could be requested to change. Accordingly, I can see the progression of projects with several statuses. Additionally, I can also compare and track the quality of writing documents.

Since we use several tools, sometimes, we cannot signup daily to check progress. That’s why we appreciate the notification scheme from Trello. Trello will message me the updates. It allows me not to sign up for Trello daily without missing any progress from copywriters.

Another feature that impressed me is the clear Kanban board, as it provides a clear view of to-do tasks, reminding the team not to forget anything. Whenever I see the board, I can rapidly understand the overview of what tasks were done and what should be done. Additionally, colleagues could remind me when I miss any progress.

1. Video call and messaging for the online conference: 2020 was the time for remote working and online conferencing while social distancing deterred people from going out. I think, as an online collaboration tool, Trello should include an online meeting feature as it would allow members to meet, discuss, and share ideas.
2. Analytics: Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline. Besides, I want to know the time spent on each project and the potential issues that occurred.

I have been using Trello for team management and team collaboration for two years time.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I use Trello to maintain projects from a management standpoint, ensuring stakeholders have a clear visibility of team activities. The Trello board is organized into lists and cards, allowing us to track and manage in-progress items, completed items, and deliverables or milestones committed to stakeholders.

It helps segregate daily tasks and tickets into smaller modules, providing clear visibility and allowing for effective management of day-to-day activities. Trello is known for being intuitive and user-friendly, making it a popular choice.

The Trello board is very intuitive and simple to comprehend. It allows users to see what to-do items are, in-progress items, and enables quick item management through drag and drop. Notifications and scheduled task management features are valuable.

Trello could improve from a UI and UX standpoint and should consider adding enhanced functionality from a release management standpoint. Additional features for release management in the style of Jira would be beneficial.

I used Trello for over a year as part of a client's requirement for project management.

Trello is quite stable. My client was happy with its performance.

Trello is highly scalable, but there's always room for improvement. The existing functionalities like user interface and experience can be enhanced.

I would rate Atlassian's technical support as nine out of ten due to time zone differences causing some delays. A faster response time would be desired.

Positive

The setup process for Trello was pretty simple, intuitive, and user-friendly.

I did not evaluate Trello's pricing model since it was provided by my organization.

Asana, Jira, and MS Projects are other solutions in the space. Trello competes with these, especially with Jira as a market leader.

Security features can be improved, such as implementing MFA for better safety.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We are using Trello to manage our sales queue with integration with Salesforce and to handle our administrative tasks.

We use Trello internally to manage our tasks. Specifically, we are using the Kanban board feature to move tasks from one status to another, which helps in organizing and tracking work efficiently.

The most valuable feature of Trello for us is the user-friendly interface. The graphical nature of Trello makes it easy to adopt for non-expert and non-technical people. The boards are particularly useful for moving tasks through different statuses.

It is somewhat challenging to move to the automation part of Trello. This is based on feedback from our team members who have tried to implement automation features.

We have been using Trello since Atlassian acquired it.

Trello is pretty stable. We haven't faced any significant issues, and our clients who use it also find it stable, even with a hundred users.

From our experience, Trello is good for small and medium-sized teams but not suitable for enterprise-level usage. For enterprise levels, we recommend Jira.

The technical support from Atlassian for Trello is satisfactory.

Positive

The initial setup of Trello is straightforward and easy.

Our internal team handles the integrations and configurations, and they perform well.

The pricing for Trello is relatively cheap compared to other similar solutions.

We have not worked with any other similar solutions besides Trello and other Atlassian products.

There's nothing specific I wish I had known before starting with Trello. It's an easy tool to adopt and use. I highly recommend considering its user-friendly nature for simple task management.

I have hardly had the chance to use Trello since I operated as an admin who was mostly engaged with the use cases of people in my company, where it was widely used. Trello was a tool that was mostly used as an ERP system. Trello was generally used for work balancing and creating to-do lists.

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. Trello is an easy platform to visualize your next tasks and other things.

I am sure that my company's use cases related to Trello were taxing for the system, so it got rather slow in some areas. With too much information on a Trello board, it got very sluggish. I am sure that Trello board got sluggish mostly due to our company's use case and other bad practices. Trello wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them.

I have experience with Trello. I am an admin-level user of the product.

Other than the times when the tool slowed down, I don't remember witnessing any outages from Trello's end.

A few hundred people were using Trello in my company.

Trello was a tool that already existed in my current company. Trello was there even before I joined my current organization.

Before someone plans to use Trello, I would ask them to go through all of their use cases and think hard before building any infrastructure with Trello. It is also important to have a good plan and architecture planned out before you start with Trello so that you don't end up building a house of cards at the end.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor.

Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace.

I have been using Trello for a year.

Trello's stability is really nice. I rate Trello ten out of ten for stability.

I rate Trello a seven out of ten for scalability. More than 200 users are using Trello in our organization.

Trello has good web and email support.

Positive

Trello’s initial setup is really easy. I rate Trello ten out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

Trello has a really good price. I rate Trello a two or three out of ten for pricing.

I am currently using the free version of Trello. My office is considering buying the solution’s premium version. Trello is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Overall, I rate Trello a nine out of ten.

The previous company that I was working for was using it for appointments. In this company, we're using it to see specific actions and check their status.

The most valuable feature is the fact that I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes, and everything is set up. It's pretty easy to use.

Having different actions and maybe multiple pages would be helpful, but I don't know if those already exist because I'm only doing one thing on Trello and I've never really gone deep into it. If there was an option for more pages on it we could actually do other things and see other actions without having to have more programs open. 

I've used Trello in different companies for two or three years.

The initial setup was very easy and very straightforward.

It was probably implemented in-house because it's pretty easy. I assume it was in-house.

It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward, so there are no worries, no issues, and no need to be technically advanced.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us.

We are using the latest version, which is free and online.

I use the solution as my personal board for daily, project and operational tasks. 

As a team board it did not work well for us. It allows non-permanent members of the company or team to manage or delete posted tasks and notifications. It was a big problem for us that every member was able to delete or edit something posted by another and we felt the need to remedy this. We encountered a situation in which a member of the board deleted every task which he was assigned, which was a lot. We found ourselves trying to refill all the boards so that our stakeholders could have complete visibility of our tasks, a matter which concerned our finances and overall schedule. 

For this reason we made use in the bank of Microsoft Planner, which we already had in place. It has a feature that prevents others from deleting or editing notifications posted by another. This is nice to have when one must deal with six picky stakeholders.

As for the user interface, I am glad that Trello does not make alterations to this. I like that the buttons and colors which appear in a consistent manner and this is one of the reasons that I remain with Trello. 

I've been working with Trello for nearly five years. 

The software is very stable. It never crossed my mind that there was a need for support or that something was working improperly. 

We have had no need for technical support. 

The installation was extremely straightforward. 

I use the free version of Trello. It is sufficient for my day to day use. 

Although I had evaluated Monday as well as another solution, I decided that Trello was the way to go, as I had been using it for quite a while. 

Trello is cloud-based. 

For use as a personal board I rate Trello as a ten out of ten.
