Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

Easy to use, simple PM tool that has a lot of complexity if you need it, but out of the box can do the job. Great for collaboration. Simple and not overbearing like others for ex Basecampa can be when it comes to smaller / simpler projects

Cons

More complex functionality is locked away under priced tiers, intergrations with our tools don't work quite how you want them to

Pros

The idea and concept of using Trello for projects and task sounds great, just found it's a little hard to learn the flows and how to use it.

Cons

Trello is not user-friendly to learn on your own, or you need to be patient and try many things to learn it.

Pros

Trello makes it super easy for me and my team to track our projects across a multitude of clients. Even the free version has allowed us to get what we needed for some early wins.

Cons

The free version allows only one big project, which there are separate boards within. This is fine but the flexibility of having more projects (which is only in the paid version) would be nice.

Pros

Trello is very easy to use, customizable, and robust

Cons

The only flaw that I can find with Trello (and maybe I just haven't figured out how to do it yet) is that you can't set up contingencies...when you mark one card done and want a follow-up to be created.

Pros

Something I loved about Trello is how easily I could shift between lists and how there are various viewing setups that you can choose from. It made it easy for me to build out content calendars!

Cons

I disliked how you have to charge per extra person you add to the board. You can only have one person at a time for free and that is frustrating!

Pros

Very easy to organize tasks if using this software as a "to do" list. This is equally true when using Trello as a project management tool; it's easy to add members to cards and tasks. The interface is intuitive and easy to manage.

Cons

There are not a lot of negatives regarding Trello. It's the type of program in which you get out of it what you put into it. There are plenty of ways to customize the interface and power-ups to add more functionality, but I found many of them unnecessary; the basic set up works well and I prefer to keep it uncluttered.

I have been using Trello for.about 5 years I love it I use it for managing ny freelance tasks and for my own personal and goal related task management. I love that it's simple to use and has loads of templates for keeping project organised.

Cons

Without upgrading, the max size of the attachments is 10 MB but I can use google drive links to biggers doc so this hasn't been so much of an issue.

Pros

It is super easy to use, very intuitive and even the free version has many features.

Cons

The home page may be a little confusing.

Pros

Was great at managing teams and allowed us to see all the jobs we had on hand. We could categorise and add notes to make it visible which was most urgent.

Cons

Trello had some limitations eg, not able to add graphs or visuale the data in maths terms. Still pleasant experience though.

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

What I like most about Trello is that it is easy to use and has many useful functions. I can organize my projects in a simple way, assign tasks to my team and see the progress of everything in a very clear way. It's also cool because I can use Trello on my computer, cell phone or anywhere I have internet. This helps me stay organized and work better with my team.

Cons

Although Trello has many very useful integrations, some of them are a little complicated to set up.

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

Such a generous amount you can do with it on the free plan. I love the whole experience - the boards, the cards, how easy it is to move things around, plus the calendar function takes it to a whole new level. No matter what you need to organise, Trello is your new secret weapon!

Cons

Honestly? Can't think of anything I don't like about it. I've been using it for years and it's just fantastic.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

I like that Trello is simple to use and gives you a lot of different ways to manage your projects and collaborate with others. Additionally, I appreciate the number of Workspaces even on the free plan that allows me to organize and collaborate on a number of projects. As a freelancer, it is helpful to have different Workspaces for different projects.
I also like that I can copy checklists from one board to another and create templates. This helps me manage repeated tasks that I do for different clients and manage my SOPs.

Cons

I'd like to be able to add custom fields but the add ons for this require a paid plan. This would help me systemize repeated tasks.

Pros

Trello handles complex project and task management procedures in my organization. I am able to automate over 85% of manual workflow with the help of this tool.

Cons

Unavailability of some capabilities such as video calling feature is the only flaw, but it has robust backend integration feature.

Pros

The ability to quickly generate project workflows via the use of cards, and then automate them with powerful scripting in the background. It makes project management across teams pretty easy!

Cons

The interface can be a little complex until you have fully gotten up to speed, but this just needs a little time investment up front.

Pros

What I like most is the way you can configure it to how you need it to look.

Cons

There isn't a quick how to guide available.

Pros

It’s so easy to use, I like the user interface, and it has options that allow my to tailor it to my working style.

Cons

I’d like to be able to easily link tasks to one another so that, when one thing finishes, the next shows up.

I’d also like to be able to save templates for projects that have similar steps each time.

Pros

I like that Trello not only allocates PM and TM tools, but also has file sharing and resource management capabilities.

Cons

Truth be told, Trello suits all my needs at the workplace, hence I have no issues with it.

Pros

Trello allocates a wide range of features which enables me to track time on projects automatically.
Task creation and project issuing are other aspects that I like about Trello.

Cons

Trello barely fails me whenever I turn to it for PM and TM.

Pros

The ability to customize the boards in any order by dragging and dropping. The full ability to customize the tiles how you want easily

Cons

I wish it auto created new tiles when you use the last one in the first instead of needed to copy one to start a new project

Pros

I love how easy it is to manage multiple small projects at once.

Cons

It isn't industry specific and doesn't allow you to set rules based on custom dates.

Pros

Absolutely amazing at helping team members manage tasks and have visibility over workloads, help clients keep up to date with the progress of current campaigns, and also have the opportunity to respond to questions in real time.

Cons

I have no improvements to suggest at the moment. I feel that this app is very useful and easy to use.

Pros

Visually it is very beautiful and feels organized and clean. It allows a lot of customization and movement of the cards so you can really play around with your options saving a lot of time. It is very versatile in this sense. At the same time, it is super easy to learn and when you bring a new member to the team, little explanation is needed to get them integrated.

Cons

If the project has many moving parts or many members, it starts to feel cluttered and slow. The search tool could use improvement too.

Pros

We had multiple projects running simultaneously, and it was easy to track and move them through different stages. The platform is pretty straightforward to use. It resembles a big board with sticky notes, which can be shared with the entire team, making collaboration seamless.

Cons

I wish there were more functions available for each card. While it gets the job done, there's definitely room for design improvements to enhance usability and functionality.

Pros

It is the right choice to run our internal projects, to run joint projects and to control the work we do together with the customer. Its usage, integration and user interface are quite good.

Cons

Color labels could be smaller. When you give 4-5 color labels to some works, horizontal rectangular color labels take up too much space. The most important deficiency in my opinion is this; each card has a sorting option, but it can only be sorted by name. It would be great if there was a sorting feature by color labels or label values. For example, we set price or download count as color labels. We should be able to sort by price or download count from the sorting options.

Pros

If you love organising your projects from a visual place this software is my favourite to use. I really that I can lay it out in an editorial fashion and include instructions and ideas in the cards. Trello also gives you some prompts that work for the project you're working on at the time. I've used it for designing websites and magazine layouts to organizing a course structure.

Cons

For tasks it seems to really hit the mark, but you cannot create roadmaps. It also doesn't offer analytics or any reporting. There's a lot of paid add-ons which can extend your capabilities to level up project management options but they will add up.

Pros

Trello is amazing for project management because it can be customized to suite my needs and it is an easy app to use for even m employees were able to get around it without me having to show them how it's used.

Cons

I haven't engaged with any issues while using this app.

Pros

Trello is a web-based project/task-management system enabling collaboration amongst teams. It can also be used individually to track both workflows as well as individual items within projects. This serves both vertical and horizontal project management perspectives. It is very easy to use and helps one track many projects across many workstreams.

Cons

There is little to dislike about Trello. The tool is effective at helping one maximize their throughput.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

Trello stands out with something like custom Kanban boards that make visual task management a reality; Power-Ups so you can keep customizing and integrating additional functionality; and a variety of third party tools. By visual dashboards, Trello allows management of design tasks and timelines effectively; it allows the remaining of lines of communication and monitoring of team progress.

Cons

Complex project tracking still has limited reporting and analytics capability, as well as the absence of embedded time tracking for accurate project estimation.

Pros

Trello has been the best tool to keep me and my coworkers organized with the many tasks that we do everyday. It is very customizable which allows any business to cater it to their own goals. My favorite features are task assignments, automation, and unlimited column creation.

Cons

I wish that Trello was a little more varied in customizable options for backgrounds, colors, banners, etc.

Pros

Trello is perfect for managing, planning and tracking projects and tasks without involving manual procedures.

Cons

There has never been an issue ever since I started using Trello apart from lack of robust backend integration capability.

Pros

Trello gives me the ability to track, plan and manage projects and tasks automatically.

Cons

I do not face issues when utilizing Trello and I use it on a daily basis.

Pros

Trello allocates project and task management capabilities which allows me to save time in real-time.

Cons

I have not encountered challenges with Trello on my end.

Pros

Trello streamlines task and project management by automating workflow in real-time.
Time tracking is another added advantage about Trello.
Availability of instant messaging and chat capabilities makes Trello more exceptional compared to alternatives.

Cons

Trello has every feature that I yearn for on a daily basis. There has not been any notable flaw for the past six months.

Pros

Trello’s visual boards made project management easy to navigate, which is great for a designer juggling multiple projects. The layout allowed me to organize tasks, track progress, and keep all design assets in one place.

Cons

The limited customization options for labels and card layouts can feel restricting, especially when trying to tailor the boards for design-specific workflows or complex projects.

Pros

The navigation through the software, the compartmentalization of the how the tasks are set up. I also liked the accessibility settings. I was able to change the theme and background and really make it my own.

Cons

I had to pay for full access. Most task management tools are similar in that aspect. I felt with Trello, there was less offered on the front end, and more offered on the back end for full access, compared to its competitors.

Pros

This software is a great project management tool to manage multiple projects or a parent project with sub-projects/tasks within the main domain being managed at once that too with great eased and visibility power.

Cons

The customization is too limited and gets confusing for simple things. There needs to be too many human touches to create a simple workflow.

Reasons for Switching to Trello

Pros

The cards, templates, and checklists are definitely my favorite features in Trello. Our team can stay organized and see, in real-time, which tasks are outstanding and which user they are assigned to. We can also organize different card types into categories. Our dashboard shows us, at a glance, what projects we're working on. For example, if we have a new hire, they will have their own Trello checklist with a set of steps that apply to all new hires. If a step doesn't apply to them, we can delete it without affecting the main template card, which includes all possible steps for a new hire.

Cons

There are only two things I can think of that would make Trello even better. (1) The ability to add line breaks to steps would make them easier to read. (2) The ability to make mass edits to multiple cards at once (i.e., verbiage updates for a step) would save me a lot of time.

Pros

Trello has streamlined communications on project collaborations and I love Trello because I can work remotely with this software.

Cons

I haven't seen anything wrong with this platform.

Pros

If you're not using Trello for task management, you should be. It's the best software out there for this purpose, incredibly easy to learn and master—I got the hang of it in just 5-15 minutes. Trello's ability to create unlimited lists to customize our workplace pipeline is invaluable. I can update my boss on task progress with a couple of clicks, and she instantly gets notified and provides feedback. I constantly use labels and checklists to track smaller details, ensuring we both fully understand the current status of tasks. My co-workers also use it, making it easy to check project statuses without having to ask them directly. This software has truly transformed the way I work, and I can't imagine going back to a time before Trello.

Cons

It's honestly hard to think of cons, I am just extremely satisfied with this software. Although one I can think of is the inability to post images in just the comments, if you post an image, it will be added to the attachments as well. For my use case, I want images in the comments and images I add to the attachments to be separate as it can get a bit unorganized and confusing. If they let users have the option to keep an image exclusive to the comment section then the software would be truly perfect.

Pros

Promotes teamwork through its collaboration tools and it is mostly free. Additionally, its Kanban boards can be employed as a receptacle for many people's responsibilities, allowing you to view every action they complete on just one board.

Cons

The free version is somewhat limited however it can be upgraded. Also even the upgraded version has some limitations in dealing with advanced automated tasks that I handle

Pros

The basic kanban-style board fits most projects and situations.
The card-layout makes it very well-organized and all of my team-members quickly got the hang of it.

Cons

To acces the most useful functions (power-ups) you need to upgrade.
You don't have a lot of options for team-member roles or permissions. They can basically do everything within your board and that makes it messy sometimes.
The design is a bit dated and not very aesthetic, it doesn't have that professional look some other task management software does have.

Cons

Trello has been fine and has nothing wrong with it.

Pros

Trello has been a game changer to kick start our business with various accessible tools available on the dashboard. They are quite easy to implement. With only a little frequent use of the application our team was able to streamline promotions and production advertisement campaigns with ease. Their Support is quite useful for new businesses as they are quick in their response. With the help of this platform we were able to integrate with shopify and it's been a boon for our progress.

Cons

As we are new to the e-commerce field trello has helped us upscale our business we couldn't have gained such significant progress in such less time without it's help. Therefore, I don't think there's any downside of using trello at this moment.

Pros

* Easy to onboard new people
* Easy to set up workflow and multiple boards
* Lots of customization if you pay for premium seats
* Automation makes board management less tedious

Cons

* $10 per user price is prohibitively expensive for small teams

Trello for over three years has not posed any drawback on my end.

Pros

New team members need little training to utilize it and understand it easily.
Organization and task management are made easier by its Drag-and-Drop functionality.

Gantt charts, sophisticated reporting, and resource management are examples of sophisticated project management features that are absent from it.
