Visual task boards have structured academic research projects and improve team coordination
There are several areas where Trello could be improved based on our academic research and team project usage. One improvement would be more advanced built-in analytics, such as better progress tracking dashboards or productivity insights without relying on third-party tools. Another area is scalability for complex projects where boards get very large with many cards and dependencies. It can become harder to manage without additional structure or hierarchy features. Overall, it works very well, but these enhancements would make it even stronger for larger or long-term projects. One additional area of improvement in Trello is automation and integrations. While Trello does support basic automation through Butler, more advanced and flexible automation rules would be helpful, especially for academic research workflows where tasks often move between stages in more complex forms. It would help if automation rules were easier to set up and more flexible for different project workflows. Additionally, smoother integrations with tools such as Google Drive or other study applications would save time and reduce switching between platforms. I think one additional improvement for Trello would be support for larger projects with many tasks and team members. As boards grow, they can become crowded and harder to navigate. More advanced filtering, reporting, and project overview features would help users manage complex projects more efficiently.

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."
"Trello is very easy to install and set up, it is also easy to use, its interface is excellent, and it is stable and quite secure."
"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."
"I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello."
"The product has a lot of integrations."
"The best feature Trello offers is that it keeps things better organized, so it makes things easier to collaborate with people."
"It's a really easy tool to enter data, keep track of the tasks and management, and update all of that."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature, as it offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
 

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 could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"Reporting features could be improved."
"We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other."
"Trello has become complex over the years."
"It is not a scalable product."
"There doesn't seem to be a good way to organize a parent project, such as an epic card, and then have sub-cards."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
"The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."
"As a team board it did not work well for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"It is free."
"The solution pricing is okay. The pricing is subscription-based and depends on the features that you need. If you need more features then you will need to pay more. You can use the basic features to lead your project management."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee."
"We pay $10 per user per month for the product."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
"The pricing starts from around $6 per license for a subscription, and there might be higher subscriptions available, possibly around $12 per month."
"We are currently using the open-source option."
