Trello Reviews

It's essentially a virtual board that allows you to easily plan various tasks, projects, and events.

I find its simplicity quite valuable, particularly its versatile use for organizing tasks, planning events, or even managing personal projects like writing. While I haven't explored all its features, I appreciate the ease of creating boards and the flexibility it offers.

In terms of improvements, adding more artificial intelligence and making it more user-friendly in terms of design could be beneficial. However, given its user-friendly nature, there's not much to criticize.

I've used Trello in a private capacity, mainly for personal organization or small team planning for the past few months.

Its scalability suits small to medium business needs. It's not for large enterprises or massive projects.

As for support, I haven't directly interacted with it, so I can't judge the assistance provided.

I had previously used Jira but found Trello to be more flexible and user-friendly. While I've not evaluated other options, I would recommend it for both personal and team-oriented tasks or projects, given its ease of use and adaptability.

Trello's initial setup is almost effortless, much like registering for an email account.

It is free.

Regarding features, it could benefit from better integration with other platforms, though it's not a critical need for me. Customization-wise, it's quite configurable, and it's not too demanding in terms of usage or customization. Overall, I'd rate it an eight. To improve it further, enabling a more significant scale for larger teams or enterprise-level use could be beneficial, but given its design and structure, this might be challenging to implement.

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

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.

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.

We used the solution for five months.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I use Trello for small teams. It's my day-to-day work, and it's for small teams.

So I have a small team of five members. So we have a backlog for my team. I use it for that. And when I do trainings, I use the training backlog as part of Trello. And when I offer coaching, I use Trello for goal setting and helping them to focus on the goals, and visualize the goals and those scenarios.

One of the most valuable features is visualization. It really helps every one to get transparency in when and what is happening because you see the same lane. It's pretty helpful. 

Another important feature is that it is easier to allocate people because we have the labels, and we can assign people. So those are the things that I find interesting. 

n Trello, there's one aspect that could be enhanced. Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists. Specifically, I'd like to have the ability to track the checklist as a separate entity. Let me explain. When I have a detailed checklist for a task, like organizing an event with items such as "Talk to the hotel" and "Get details," it would be helpful if I could convert this checklist into a new card while retaining all the same content, labels, and other details. Currently, if I convert it into a new card, I have to manually update everything, which can be time-consuming. Improving this aspect of the checklist feature would be beneficial.

There's another thing that comes to mind. Sometimes, I use PowerApp to supplement Trello because I find that some of the basic features in Trello might not fully meet my needs. PowerApp helps me accomplish specific tasks and allows me to do things in a way that I couldn't solely achieve using Trello. 

I have been using Trello for maybe the last five years. I did an upgrade, but I'm not sure if I'm using the latest version.

I haven't found any challenges in that. Trello has been stable in my experience.

I think when you have bigger teams and also, like, a proper backlog, for example, in an infrastructure team, maybe I feel that Jira is better suited. But for a small team, Trello is fair.

The initial setup is easy. There is no maintenance required. 

I have seen the paid version, but currently, I'm not using it. Some time ago, when I wanted to use more power apps, I considered the paid version for a while, but right now, I'm using the free version.

In my experience, coming from software development and event management, I prefer Jira for software development because of its proper use of storage, and Confluence integration adds to its benefits. So for software development, Jira is a better fit. However, in my company's events-based workshops, I find Trello more suitable. I don't need all the extensive features of Jira for that. Simplicity matters for my company. But when it comes to software product development, Jira proves to be more helpful.

I would always recommend Trello when it comes to small team collaboration, especially for those looking for transparency and tracking progress. Trello is a great choice. However, if it's a big team working on software development, I believe Jira would be a better fit. So, it depends on the specific needs of the team.

One is the worst, and ten is the best. I would say it's an eight. Overall, it's been a good experience with Trello.

We use the solution to assign tasks to our people and they report what they do on their tasks. We set our priorities and set the last status using Trello.

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. We can use the solution on desktops, laptops, or even mobile devices, and Trello works well with all devices.

Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager. This would help me monitor my team or my tasks more effectively. I would also like the ability to export raw data about my tasks.

I have been using the solution for nine months.

The solution is extremely stable.

I believe the solution's scalability could be better if there were some facilities, especially for managers. For example, reports, archives, and use cases that managers and inspectors could use to control overall projects or tasks, or teams.

The initial setup is straightforward. Everyone on my team easily installed, communicated, and worked with the solution.

In a very short amount of time, my team and I were easily able to set up our tasks and get our minds set to work with Trello.

We have seen a return on investment.

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.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

We have seven people using Trello.

I recommend Trello, especially for small teams.

We typically use the solution for project management. We use it for tracking tasks, risks, issues etc. 

it is great that it is a cloud based SaaS solution which makes it really easily to set up and start using it.

Card and checklist capability make it easy to keep everything together at one place, and for the senior management to review key projects and the updates. Ability to prioritise and indicate variance allows us to highlight important issues and bring oversight at the right time. 

Trello boards are easy to use, one can create cards for key projects, tasks and activities which are easy to track and monitor.

It has collaboration features through which team members can centrally manage their projects. It is great way to manage key tasks and activities and drive conversations with your teams and key stakeholders.

In my company, we use Trello boards to manage projects in an agile and collaborative fashion.

1. It has a very modern-looking interface. 

2. It is easy to use.

3. The product is very intuitive. 

4. We found the setup to be quite simple. 

5. It's not too expensive.

6. Great drop and drag features.

7. Commenting capabilities with auto notifications to team members.

8. Allows filtration of cards basis on key criteria so you can quickly focus on the important ones.

9. Ability to Create checklists for key tasks with assigning of responsibility and due dates 

10. Reminders

11. Analytics with charts 

Trello is already a very rich tool with Analytics and automation capabilities and ability to integrate with multiple storage formats 

One can also customise their categories according to one’s needs and add validation rules to that.

What I have especially found useful are the analytic capability with the ability to create ready to consume charts etc and give various slices and dices of it.

I think the only additions I can think of are possibly enabling Many more categories such as whether it is a risk or defect or issue

And, possibly RAG status can also be enabled at a checklist level 

We are exploring the  Gantt chart capabilities of the solution and would like to see a strong Gantt chart capability to give us a one shot linear view of the project 

I have been using the Trello Boards for over a year now. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze. It has good performance. 

It's very scalable. You have to just add the users to a workspace within your organisation , and that's about it.

There must be lot of people using in our company as my company is big. It's got 500,000 people. I could roughly say, almost 1,000 to 5,000 people might be using Trello, if not more.

I've never used technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they might be.

Neutral

I've not been instrumental in decisions related to adding or changing solutions within my organisation. However, this product is very easy to set up and probably not really expensive also. Thanks to that, the ease of use, and installation, the company chose to use it.

For us, it's relatively easy to set up. All we have to use is our IBM existing login. We simply log into the Trello board with your IBM credentials and that works. There's no difficulty in logging in or setting it up. It's very easy. That is because it is a SaaS, cloud based solution.

Admin has to create a workspace and add users to their respective workspace and they get an email notification to start using it. 

Not applicable. Our IT team had to probably just whitelist the url to make it accessible for users within the organisation 

I do not have this information 

The cost of the product is not overly expensive. 

For me, it was free of cost. However, for those who have to pay, I'm not sure of the exact pricing. 

We were using JIRA before we moved to Trello Boards.
and our experience of using JIRA was less than optimal. It was not very intuitive to use and I think the interface was very clumsy 

I'm a customer and an end-user. 

We are using the latest version of the solution. It is SaaS-based.

I'd advise people interested in trying the solution to just jump in and start using it. It is very effective and simple to use. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I may not have used all of the features yet. However, it is very uncomplicated and has a nice user interface. It feels very modern and nimble. 

Our teams use it to overview operations and pre-sales activity. For project management, different teams utilised the project tracking features, such as to-do lists, the backlog and follow-up actions. Personally, I have used Trello to organise, plan and streamline operations activities such as checklists on to-do lists and previous activities for reporting. The planning activities on Trello include, what to do today, the progress status, and the follow-up action afterward with minimal tracking activities.

Due to the tiered pricing, we have yet to use Trello at maximum capacity.

Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations.

The most valuable feature of Trello is the ability to virtually execute the Kanban methods of visualizing workflows, which is extremely beneficial. I also like the tracking activities. You can see who's doing what and when they started. We can also use the Voting Power-Ups feature for polling functions.

In terms of improvement, the mobile app could be better. When I last used Trello, the mobile app is an HTML5 version. It's not really native to mobile apps, so this feature isn't really integrated as much as it is when we use it on the web.

Another way Trello could be improved would be with better integrations with other tools like Teams and different calendars. I don't know if they charge extra for a calendar feature but it should be included.

We would need to use a separate calendar to set reminders for the week. Ultimately, we don't always track our activities through Trello. We use other resources like our email. It is important for there to be better integration between Trello, email and our calendar.

I used Trello for three years until February 2022.

Trello is a very stable solution. We never had any issues while using it. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

In terms of scalability, Trello is a good solution for small teams. I would rate the scalability for a small team an eight or nine out of ten. We have three teams, the first and second teams of 10 members and the third one of seven members. Since Trello was limited to 10 boards, it was sufficient for small teams. However, if you have large groups with 10 to 20 members, Trello's 10-board cap can cause a bit of an issue.

With the increasing size of our team, we had to make a tough call and part ways with Trello. Although it was helpful while under license limits, opting for free versions instead has been inescapable due to resource constraints. If you have more than 20 people, you will need to upgrade it.

I have never contacted the Atlassian vendor support team or the Atlassian Technical support team.

Neutral

We previously used Microsoft Visio but switched to Trello.

The initial setup for Trello was very simple.

We implemented it with our in-house team. 

I would give pricing a three on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is for the lowest price and 0 is for the highest. The basic paid version is pretty expensive and I will most likely not use it for that price.

Our project management system has evolved over time. Initially, we used Spreadsheets and Jira but have since moved on from Microsoft Projects as our primary tool. 

Asana is also very good. It is comparable to Trello, but Trello has more advantages in terms of pricing for both the website and mobile apps. We dropped Asana because of the user interface.

Due to the tiered pricing, we have yet to use Trello at maximum capacity. Therefore, I can not make additional remarks.

I would rate Trello an eight out of ten.

I use it to check the status and to assign some tasks to the team members.

Mainly it makes it easy to track work and track the status of software. It's great for use in the morning and evening. We can easily track the overall status of projects. 

The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards. 

The initial setup is very easy.

It's a stable product.

We can scale the product.

The cost of the solution is reasonable. 

We haven't had any issues with Trello. 

I'd like to see features that could help us generate reports or automatically send things to emails. We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful. 

I've been using Trello for more than two years. 

The solution is stable. We've had no issues with the performance either. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

The solution scales well. It's easy to expand it. 

We have around 600 users on the solution right now. 

We do have plans to increase usage by 20% to 30% every year. 

We used to use Microsoft. For example, we used Exel to track things in the past. We've also used MS Project. 

The solution was simple to implement. It was not complex at all. 

I can't recall how long it took to deploy. It was handled on a corporate level. The IT team might have a better idea of how long the deployment took.

The solution only really needs one person to do the deployment. 

There isn't much maintenance required once it is set up.

Our IT team handled the implementation process. 

You do have to pay for a license. I'm not sure what the exact price is. It should be reasonable. It is being used by mid-range companies and startups that may be price-conscious. 

I'm not sure of which version number of the solution I'm using right now. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I used Trello for a project where we had to do marketing for a customer.

The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need.

Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items. The solution could be made easier for new users.

I used the solution for two months.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.

Around six users were using the solution in our project.

The solution's initial setup was easy, and it took around one hour.

We didn't need to pay for the solution.

Trello was deployed on the cloud for us. The solution integrates with other services. I would recommend Trello to other users. The solution benefited our project greatly because our Trello bot was very organized.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
