User-friendly interface, easy to adopt, and relatively cheap
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Trello for us is the user-friendly interface."
  • "It is somewhat challenging to move to the automation part of Trello."

What is our primary use case?

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

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

846,617 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Trello since Atlassian acquired it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Atlassian for Trello is satisfactory.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Trello is straightforward and easy.

What about the implementation team?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Simple and effective solution to track projects
Pros and Cons
  • "Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
  • "I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution to track simple projects. Trello is also useful whenever I intend to make presentations to stakeholders. It has some inbuilt features that make presentations easier and with much better pictorial elements.

How has it helped my organization?

Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management.

What is most valuable?

Trello's workflow is very calculated.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members.

For how long have I used the solution?

I use Trello occasionally.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Trello is stable. There are occasional patch updates that do not disrupt any saved work.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Trello is scalable as its features can be extended to accommodate small to larger projects.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service team always responded to me whenever I had any need for them and they get the issues quickly resolved.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use Jira to track complex projects.

How was the initial setup?

The implementation of Trello is easier compared to Microsoft Visio but complex when compared to Jira. Trello has more features than Visio. The complexity of the system increases with the increase in features.

What about the implementation team?

I used Trello in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes, I did. I tried Microsoft Visio which is also good but there are some unique differences.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Trello a nine out of ten. When you are a beginner, there will be difficulty in using such complex solutions. Later, you can decide what you are going to do with the solution. For some of the new solutions, the physicalization is divided due to the new available features.

My advice to anyone from business analysis, IT management, and project management is to use Trello first. It is because if you start using Jira first, you will encounter issues. Therefore, it is good to move from Visio to Trello and then to Jira. You can get in touch with business intelligence with Trello.
I have not encountered any technical issues with the solution. Support was available whenever I didn’t know how to proceed. This support gave me direction on what to do next. It is a rare thing for a solution to not give any headaches to the person using it.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

A tool useful for project management that helps create dashboards and workspaces
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
  • "The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

What is our primary use case?

My company uses Trello for project management to create dashboards and workspaces.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task.

What needs improvement?

The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Trello for three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten since they need to improve the flexibility to make changes to the timeline view and dashboard.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.

Around 600 to 700 employees in my company use Trello.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I prefer to use Jira instead of Trello. With Trello, our company can't see the plans in the timeline view.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Trello is not complex.

The solution can be deployed in five hours or a day.

What about the implementation team?

I installed the product, so it was an in-house process without any training.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Helpful Kanban board and good alerting, but it should support online conferencing
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

  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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

  • "Trello has become complex over the years."

What other advice do I have?

I rate Trello an eight out of ten.

A tool to help employees of a business to get their workflow in order
Pros and Cons
  • "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 wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

A few hundred people were using Trello in my company.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Very easy to use, but should add more pages
Pros and Cons
  • "I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
  • "It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

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

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy and very straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
