Trello Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

I like that you can put your tasks on boards and see where things are.

If you are doing a lot, trello will not simplify your task management.

Keeping tasks organized and seen before you.

The fast app for iPhone and files uploading feature

The service is ok, but not very clear in settings and not attractive in design

Communication and task management

Trello is very easy for our users to understand and begin using quickly. Viewing tasks in grouped columns helps to organize tasks and to-do list items by category, and desktop notifications help remind users to complete their tasks and to-dos.

Missing some of the enterprise-level features that I might expect from an Atlassian product. Specifically, tasks and to-dos do not have functionality for rich text or special features and there is no version control for documents attached to cards.

This product helps our clients interact with the team and keep projects on schedule, it's easy to set up accounts and for the most part, free to use.

It has the option to create several different lists. I thought that it would help me keep my different lists and projects organized and at my fingertips.

I found the interface to be more difficult than I wanted. I just didn't like the layout or the way it organized the boards.

We were using for different planning in our grade level.

Trello is an okay way to keep track of projects with a team, but not an ideal format for organizing said projects. If I had to choose something to like, I suppose I like the ability to have unlimited boards or cards. You can create different cards with additional sub-cards under, much like creating folders of information. You can also comment on boards where you can ask questions to other team members, but honestly this isn't the most efficient program in general.

It can be very confusing if you don't know how to navigate the online project management site/app. It's really not that easy to communicate with team members about the project. It's only useful for updating others on a project.

It does have checklists and you can make multiple lists, but it's not that great. I honestly think that you're better off writing on paper schedules or notebooks to plan things and just email your team members. Trello has been more frustrating than helpful. I personally only use Trello because one of my clients prefers this for handling team projects, but we still have to have constant contact via social media and email. This doesn't really solve any problems and might even add to our organization problems.

easy way to configure board and enable user to collaborate in a project

basic level of cost planning and kpi feature

team board, collaboration of team, remote work and task assignment

I think that Trello can be a useful tool for large teams to organize events and planning. There is a large and well designed layout, and the actual softwares appearance is visually appealing.

Trello is sometimes confusing visually in its layout, and tends to create a large and sprawling layout of documents and conversations. It is always time consuming to find the documents that I am looking for.

Trello allows me to have a place to organize thoughts when I am working on projects with a team that is not always able to meet in person, it works well at organizing us as we work independently.

Easy to use and simple interface. Easy to communicate with collaborators by emails on tasks pinned on Trello boards.

I haven't really found this tool engaging enough for continued use.

I am solving project management problems with this tool. It is a good tool to keep yourself on track with your projects, especially those that you are collaborating on.

The user flow and swim lanes are fantastic. Seeing who is on what project's is super helpful. Having quick and easy access to what projects I'm currently involved in and seeing what projects other users are working on helps improve efficiency.

Too many options. At time, Trello can be a little overwhelming - when in reality, I think it's most effective as a very basic, visual team/project management tool.

Better time management. Knowing exactly what projects are being worked on by which team members and better being able to allocate all of our resources and time.

not sure I like the tool. it's not a helpful tool at all. I tried to find out what I can do, but apparently, most of the beneficial features are not provided with Trello.

I use kanban tables and table views. It's impossible to filter, sort, or anything that relates to the view. I spent time implementing basic features but don't like the user interface.

Trello is not benefiting me at all. It didn't help me to solve my problems or make them easier. I expected to be more productive using a tool, that would be the goal, but I was't productive at all.

Design is the best. When agile transformation started in my company in 2016, we used trello for slicing the works.

I remembered that our security department had some concerns about Trello. Then they forced us to use JIRA instead:(

nothing

My favorite part of this software is its dynamics, I like that I can create my tasks and projects and label them by color to know what they are in, it has excellent characteristics and is very easy to use, it allows me to keep my calendar updated, I can also prioritize each activity according to what I need, it is also effortless to configure, the ability to drag and drop is beneficial, I like the lists of pending tasks, due dates and that I can share files, it has many integrations Well, I love project templates and customer service seemed top-notch.

When displaying the lists it is a bit flexible; however it is a minimal detail, there is not much to complain about.

It is convenient and helpful to hold meetings from our directory, it is straightforward to share the boards with other departments, in addition to doing it quickly and efficiently, its easy configuration makes everything very simple to carry, I love that I can create lanes and so tasks can be moved through a workflow, I loved the standard features like file attachments, comments when exploring a card, notes, description, and it has a fully functional free version.

multiple users can access the docs and read them

the checklist if one user chesk it off it does this for all users the interface i dont really like the usage of the boards. i prefer other file sharing services/apps

its good for team file sharing but thats the only benefit

It tracks your tasks in a simple straightforward view and allows linking multiple people to a task.

It's just a bit too simple. We've considered Trello and Asana and ultimately had to go with the competition. Trello was just too list view like and might work for those that work off bulletin boards and stickies, but not digital agencies that build websites and social media campaigns.

Tracking tasks and getting a quick glance at project status.

I can arrange all my tasks and see them.

Sometimes it becomes very complex and chaotic

We use it at my part time job. I work as a programming assistant

I like that there are Kanban boards you can use to track action items and move them from column to column. It is decent to track action items. This was the first tool that I tested out when looking for project management software that I could use for my role with my organization. If you are looking for bare bones, no thrills, task management then this "could" work for you. However, there are other features that other tools have that blow this out of the water, yet it also comes at a higher price.

It's not Asana. If you don't know about Asana, then Trello may work for you. However, it just is lacking in a lot of areas.The layout leaves much to be desired as well. The look and feel is not as clean and smooth as Asana is. Trello's main feature that put it above others was the use of Kanban board view. However, once others adopted that same layout then Trello was left in the dust,.

Initially, it was a place for me to track my to-do's and cross off action items from projects that I was running. However, after exploring other tools, it was clear that Trello was lacking. None. Have moved to Asana.

The ability to color coordinate and place images in the files helped very much. It seems to be something a person who likes to cross things off would love.

Maybe if I utlise more of the features i would have gotten more out of it.

Organizing my thoughts and things that need to be done.

Easy card creation but difficult to do much with them without a lot of steps.

Compared to Asana, Trello is very clunky.

It's a glorified task list.

That it let's you do different tasks at the Same time with team alignment

It should have a simpler interface. It should let you ease in by starting from the basics

We are scheduling work tasks and assignments as we are cloud based

The design is clean and the colour labelling system is useful (props for having colourblind mode!)

The software is slow (cards load slowly) and there’s just a lot of features that go un used a lot of the time. Would be better if streamlined.

Used to communicate company policies, list recipes, etc.

This is a clean platform that allows for clear delegation of tasks.

Hard to teach new team members how to navigate and delegate tasks.

Helping to evenly delegate tasks to team members.

I liked that multiple people could organize projects together virtually on the platform!

I disliked that the platform was confusing to use.

The problem trello solves is that all too often people have their own to do lists that others do not see! With trello everyone is on the same page, which facilitates communication and timelines.

I guess the concept of Trello seems like a winner in theory, but it is a lot of work to "update" the boards when you could actually just be doing the work.

Overall I just didn't think that this product was for me. I was collaborating with multiple users on my trello board, but it still required a lot of iterractions beyond following the boards, which to me felt like duplicate work. *In Trello's defense it could have been user error** but I am way too busy to do twice the work.

it theory, this would allow people to collaborate on a project with less micromanaging. You could monitor and track the progress of coworkers and know who's actually getting their part done and when.

Trello is an excellent tool for those who appreciate a minimal designed interface. The free version is very restricted in functionality and lacks the basic project management tool seen in other free applications. It is still great for individuals who simply need basic organization.

One thing I dislike about Trello is that it doesn't have a lot of basic features when you begin a new board. lt really lacks common project management features seen on other applications you can use for free.

There are various applications on the market but Trello is one of the easiest to use. One thing that Trello is great is for my freelancers who are not used to project management tools. Most require a lot of time before you can master it but with Trello it is ready out of the box.

It works good for tracking basic projects that are not overly complex.

I did not like the project layout. I found the tool challenging to navigate.

Project management, helps keep things from falling through the cracks.

Notifications are in time, thats good because it let us know about replies in real time. Other thing i liked is easy setup, we didnt take so long to set it up, but we had several problems after it.

it's all messy, you can't have order in it, everyone can edit the cards made by me. for someone who doesnt have computer experience, it's troublesome, so i would recommend you guys add a tutorial for new people (0 knowledge of computer science), that way it will improve. also i dislke the cards, are not really clear, you have to create several cards in order to manage different areas, that's a bit disgusting.

none, we stopped using it, since it's messy and all the company and supervisor's who used it rejected and didnt want to use it, they preferred to use 'email' communication instead of trello. So we decided instead of receiving supp from Trello , to quit using it.

I love organization of any sort, so I liked being able to share boards with team members and manage projects in a collaborative way.

I'm not sure if I just wasn't used to using it, but it felt clunky to me. I found myself forgetting to use it or not wanting to take the time to update it.

We used it for a project collaboration with our development team. It helped to keep bugs organized and let us know when we could retest them.

The only thing i can rescue from this tool is that it has a clean interface and is easy to use, the rest we stopped using it because it did not meet the needs we required, it was very annoying to have to redo everything at the end of the month because it does not give you the option to save things, plus there are free and better tools where you can do the same.

Really almost everything, you could not customize things the names had to be invented because you could not use your name if someone had already used it, the support service is terrible you needed too many emails to solve a fault.

None, it was more the problems than the ones we could solve, we were really disappointed with this application.

I started to use Trello to help manage my own personal workflow. I thought that it would help me better manage but it took so much time that it ended up adding to my workload instead of helping reduce it

There are so many different backgrounds and colors to ping on items that it oftentimes confused me and distracted me

I was looking to help manage my projects but I didn't feel that it helped

Positives: you can put due dates on each card, add team members to cards, colored labels, and add links to outside documents or webpages.

Negatives: can't put a start date, no option to view multiple boards together in a single view, can't add sub-tasks with due dates to each card, no native Gantt view and "power ups" to get it don't integrate well with Trello, power-ups are a must for true productivity in overlapping teams but the number can use is limited unless you pay extra fees.

It has helped our teams share and track tasks.
