Trello Reviews

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.

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.

The tool is used to organize projects.

The product helps with the management of projects.

The product is not easy to use. Initially, it seemed easy to use, but it was not.

I have been using the solution for a couple of weeks.

I rate the tool’s stability a six out of ten. The stability could be better.

Around 15 people were using the product in our organization.

Earlier, we used Microsoft Excel for project management.

The initial setup was quite easy. The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I am an end user, and I am also providing the solution to my customers. It's a good tool. I would recommend it, but it depends on the IT projects of a company. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

We use the solution to set up tasks and monitor their status.

We have employees in New York, India, and London. There was a lot of mismanagement of tasks earlier. With the help of the product, everyone knows the status of all the tasks. 

During the production rollout, we can ensure that everything is rolled out in the production at the same time. We can also conduct team meetings with the help of the product to align the team’s efforts.

The demos and POCs in the product are quite good for onboarding. There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product. The online forums and blogs are fantastic.

The product does not allow the linking of tasks. We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other. There is no field to indicate the budget allocated and consumed for a particular task. The meeting should have recording facilities.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the stability of the solution a ten out of ten. We did not face any problems in the last two years.

The solution is highly scalable. Around 20 to 22 people use the product in the organization. We might plan to increase the number of users in the future.

We never had to reach out to technical support because we got help from the online community whenever we were stuck.

Previously, we used Microsoft Project. We switched to Trello because Microsoft Project had a lot of rigidity, and we faced a lot of issues related to cost and deployment.

The initial setup is quite easy. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten.

The deployment was done in-house. Most of the people and resources are comfortable with the product. We need two to three people to deploy the product.

I rate the pricing a five out of ten. The solution should lower its prices. We pay $10 per user per month for the product.

I am using the latest version of the solution. The solution is cloud-based. Trello is used globally. I would strongly recommend Trello to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

The primary use case is to manage tickets. Whenever they create any kind of ticket, they send again our task, I simply resolve them and move it to the resolved section.

I have found the most valuable feature is that it is very simple and clear to use. They can send a video and I can go view the video, check the images and I am ready to manage the ticket with clarity. I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature.

I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket.

I have been working with Trello for the past ten to eleven months.

Stability is not an issue with Trello and you can have peace of mind when using the solution.

We are currently using the open-source option.

I would say to them to go and just simply use that system. If they have options to use other project management as well, then I recommend them to use Trello because, for the first time, this thing will be very simple and easy to use. If they have any other tool, there will be some difficulties and they may get rid of it and they said there, "Oh, no. We are not doing any kind of project management tools." So if they use Trello, they will be happy with the end result. I would rate Trello a nine on a scale of one to ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Nasuni for one year.

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

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.

Neutral

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

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.

The implementation was completed in-house.

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.
