Keeps requests better organized
The best feature Trello offers is that it keeps things better organized, so it makes things easier to collaborate with people. I can say that I really enjoyed using Trello for a lot of things, and it has some really good features, such as helping people write out descriptions and the comment section being absolutely one of the best parts of it.

Consistent capital project workflows have improved collaboration and real-time data use
In my opinion, the best features of Trimble Project Management are that it is quite good as a database and process, and it has been working well for us. The big challenge is on the reporting side; it does not provide great dashboards and that type of functionality. Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it. It is a project management information system, so it is very important to have for our organization. Trimble Project Management's real-time data integration has been a valuable feature; we have a data warehouse that it sends information to, and we use Tableau to create dashboards.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Trello board is very intuitive and simple to comprehend."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."
"The installation was extremely straightforward."
"Just being able to manage tasks very easily is one of the best features Trello offers."
"It has a very modern-looking interface."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."
"Another feature that impressed me is the clear Kanban board, as it provides a clear view of to-to tasks, assuring the team not to forget anything."
"Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it."
 

Cons

"Many more categories could be enabled."
"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
"It is not a scalable product."
"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."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
"Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"The reporting does exist, but it is not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version of Trello."
"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."
"We didn't need to pay for 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."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"I am tinkering with the free version."
"The basic paid version is pretty expensive"
