Unclaimed: Are you working at Trello?
Trello Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice
As one of the pioneering Kanban web-based project management platforms, more than 2 million teams are now using Trello worldwide since its launch in 2011. Trello is best known for its simple visual interface, with cards that can be moved across different columns. Each card holds all the information teams and assignees need to deliver on projects and execute tasks efficiently. Over the years, Trello has introduced robust improvements to its systems, which include a proprietary built-in and no-code automation feature called Butler. There are also add-ons called Power-Ups that allow teams to link your most-used productivity and business tools with Trello plugins.

Compare Trello with other popular tools in the same category.
it's intuitive and efficient. they have done a great job making this tool. new functionality is easy to learn, I have never needed to reach out for help.
Nothing really. Since there is a character limit I guess I will keep typing.
project management, to-do lists, planning for sprints, even planning for personal vacations.
Add-ons allow you to customize the experience however you wish. An outlook add-on allows us to easily turn emails into tasks, and other buttons on the card itself let us notify the requestor when the task is complete.
The way the Archive is set up makes it difficult to back track and find old cards or task.
We use it for the IT department here and have realized a big benefit is that we can easily track who and what has been done and ensure the ticket requestors know what is happening at all times.
I like the option of having multiple boards and sharing with different people. Being able to add different tabs is great and keeps everything in order.
I wish you could add a date stamp— when things need to be done on time.
Coordinating multiple things by different people— Trello board helps us keep it in order— what needs to be done still etc
The most helpful thing about trello is its easy user interface. I am able to quickly tag, manage, and update statuses on my board. Specifically, I would like to mention that it is a lot faster and easier to use than other boards such as target process. I am able to view large picture on my current product pipeline.
I wish there were additional features. Trello sometimes may feel at bit barebones. I wish I could create tickets, or be able to collaborate better with others.
I have been able to solve my time management. Between the team, we were able to better understand who is working on what and how the product is moving.
I absolutely love how easy it is to use Trello. My work schedule is crazy and this has made it so simplistic to use and organize everything all in one spot
That I didn’t hear about it sooner! Honestly didn’t even know it existed until a coworker brought it to my attention!
It used to be tough to keep track of so many things for work, but now it’s so simplified and I find myself getting more done!
I like how easily accessible it is and how seamless the syncing across all of my devices is.
I wish there were more free capabilities that weren't trial versions.
I am able to stay organized and on top of my work flow.
Its a visual tool to organise everything in your life from personal stuff to business stuff. Its extremely easy to use, even my mom understand it!
Nothing I dislike on Trello. Maybe all those other tools who copy Trello and pretend they launch a new product!
- I plan, follow all my business and personal life
I like how simple it is. There aren't a bunch of bells and whistles; it keeps you on task and allows you to see what your team is working on.
I feel like the desktop layout is a little odd. But it works.
I like the simple function of clicking and dragging a task from to do, to doing, to done, or assigning to someone. Anyone can use it without having to "figure it out. "
It's a great tool for managing tasks that are coming in at a rapid rate.
Dislike the fact that a lot of basic features that were free before are now paid.
Trello has helped me organize my work and has allowed me to view my tasks visually and sort them based on priority. This helps me stay on top of things
I really loved the way it's so counter intuitive and assists me in project allocation
not user friendly, A LOT of user training is required to utilize this product completely.
Assigning and following up on tasks, as we are a tech based real estate company, we sometimes face situations where in we have multiple teammates assigned on various tasks since we
I love Trello because it helps organize everything I need to keep track of in a visual and easy way
I don't think I dislike anything about Trello.
Teamwork issues where instead of hovering over a project everybody can see the progress themselves on Trello
Ability to organize tasks into different criteria
Sometimes it losses connectivity even the internet exists
Organizing tasks
Before Trello I was using sticky notes in a complex grid to keep track of my daily tasks and processes. This was tedious, took longer, and resulted in lost notes that dropped on the floor or forgetting about tasks because there was no way streamlined way to remind me about due dates. Now I use the mobile app and got an extra monitor that is always up to stay on track with tasks. It's even eco-friendly since it helps me to save lots of paper for notes!
I honestly have no gripes with this product. I have never really experienced bugs or had it lose my data. I look forward to seeing what they can add and improve.
Trello helps to quicken the pace at which I can take meaningful and actionable notes that ensure I carry out tasks that are asked of me. This is incredibly valuable in a fast-paced working environment where many requests are made of me within a short period of time, all with varying deadlines, requirements, and collaborators. It also assists in tracking multi-tiered projects that have many moving parts and conditional tasks, where one objective cannot be completed before two others are finished.
It's the closest thing to actual sticky notes. Literally unlimited ways to use and organize. Easy to create your own system using color codes, card titles, whatever.
The email-to-card feature should strip out the signature lines. Some email senders have a 10 line, 2 image signature and it is of no use within the card.
I'm using it as a light CRM to keep the current weeks appointments and activities right in front of me, the way I'd use sticky notes. One running list of STGD (sh#$ to get done) is perfect for by the moment additions of little tasks.
Ability to communicate with multiple people on multiple cards
If you have a heavy set of projects, you can sometimes get lost with many projects.
Making the team as efficient as possible through task management
The interface is perfect to create the Kanba boards and the possibility to move the cards around all the board.
So far, the tool satisfies all my needs, that is the same response from my entire team.
We can monitor what is the status of the tasks and how are the people engaged in a task and validate if we need further resources and we can detect on time issues in the implementations.
The system of cards and boards. Its super intuitive and also useful in several work groups. Also its super flexible for integration and automatization of tasks. As for example we have conected the web page, email and trello to save a lot of time on billings, work reception, workflow, group comunnication and alerts, sells, etc. There is a great benefit for small starups or personal business since the free account gives you heaps of space, cards, and addons to use. Its really hard to imagine that you would be limited without paying the premium, but for bigger projects or when you start to make everything automated the paid version is like heaven. Everything is all ready taken care off in a really clean and great way so you dont have to think that much.
Maybe some feauters could be better displayed. Other than that the update and constant service to the systems taker cares of everything really good.
In on of the startups Im solving the hole organization from accounting to machine services and in the company it resolves great part of teams and inter teams projects managments. Also its really usefull for personal use as I organize presonal projects and even vacations trips with trello. The best part is the monthly fee for premium and all the cool addons that gives you is really accesible for small and personal business
The fact that all tasks needed to be done are communicated to the necessary teams. Everyone knows what others are doing and when the end of the day comes, we all know what has been completed and what needs to be addressed the following day.
Nothing to dislike. It's good for a moving team.
Real time updates and communication to all departments
I like that Trello gives so many options of organizing each card and having separate boards for each project
More access to receiving help or general questions
Organization & allowing my business to grow with my team members
I love the visual aspect of Trello which is so much more engaging and appealing to use than more traditional forms of project management. While it wouldn't be suitable for major projects, I find Trello an excellent way of sharing information across teams and making it really accessible to all.
It is a little clunky at times and not quite as sophisticated as I'd like. But it's free, online, easily sharable software, so I can't really complain. I would upgrade to the paid service but it costs more than I can justify.
I use Trello for sharing annual, monthly and weekly objectives within my team. It's really easy to learn and looks fun, so people use it quite happily instead of feeling like it's another system they have to learn. It's easy to use labels to identify priorities or projects. Checklists under items allow progress to be tracked. And the calendar view is very helpful.
We use it over 4 different departments and it is really nice to be able to log in and quickly see if there is a day free to send out a mass email.
The default view is not super friendly for us as it is more project management. I wish we could change the default page.
Too many people sending out communications on the same day or bothering a single person all the time to see what time slots are already filled.
I love everything about Trello. I use it for my everyday life, my trips, my work, taking control of the appointments that I have with leads inside my current employer. It helps me out to take ownership of every aspect of my life, to take notes and to even organize activities within a team. Personally as a manager it has helped me a lot also to assign tasks and have visibility on what my team is working on and what are their advancements.
I love everything... but maybe and improvement would be to have a full visibility like a dashboard where I could see what tasks/card is about to due in calendar, what have been in the changes regarding the lists... and so.. if it could have some sort of artificial intelligence embedded like telling me what tasks need to be moved or have been sitting for too much in the same list that would be awesome.
Everything... from my personal errands to manage my meetings with prospects and customers.
I use Trello on a daily basis. Most of the individuals I work with are not in my office, so this is a perfect solution for me to keep them up-do-date on projects they need completed.
The only thing I dislike is that members of the board have ability to archive lists, which has happened on occasion.
We use Trello for designs and collaborations between multiple people who are in different locations.
Trello is so simple and visual it makes project management across teams easy.
There isn't really anything I dislike about Trello.
We have used it in a range of ways including cross team communication, project management and even record keeping
Trello's visual representation of to-do items makes it extremely easy to see what tasks need to be done and in what order.
I wish the free version allowed you to customize the look and feel a bit more.
Keeping tasks in order and prioritized in terms of high/medium/low. Color-coded labels really help!
We use this tool to organize the quarterly projects each person on our team is working on. The ability to collaborate, assign due dates, and visualize progress towards our goals drives productivity and makes organization easy.
No real dislikes. We would love to be able to assign due dates for tasks within our cards, but that is a nice to have.
Project management, cross team collaboration.
I like that I am able to organize individual projects with the various work teams I manage.
I'd like for there to be a better 'checklist' option. The one they have now isn't helpful to me.
It helps me stay organized.
I love the simplicity of the lists and cards, and how easy they are to move and reorder, etc... Very easy to use and effective. It makes it easy to check things off my to-do lists and keep track of what I get done.
There are features I don't use, but it's not that I don't like them necessarily. For example, stickers seem a little extraneous for my needs. I also wish there was a better calendaring function within Trello. I appreciate having due dates, but the calendaring is not that easy to use.
I write content for work, and it helps me keep my writing ideas organized. It also helps me keep a log of to-dos and random projects that I want to keep in mind (sort of like a parking lot). It also helps me in my personal life with tracking bills and making lists.
Trello is a great visual way to manage team tasks. It is easy to see what is on the go and at what stages.
If there are too many tasks under a certain label, it can be hard to find them in the board view.
Trello allows my team to collaborate on different tasks and makes the work transparent across the board.
Trello is incredible when it comes to managing work within a team. Quickly adding and assigning tasks has never been easier. You can even use it to help with your personal todo list.
There are some organizational issues I’ve noticed personally, but it could vary from person to person.
My team had management issues in the past, but trello solves those. We’ve found it boosting our productivity and keeping on task during work hours.
