Trello Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

Trello is helpful because it’s easy to help keep large scale teams on task and be able to see what has been completed and what still needs to be done and it’s great to be able to add feedback

Can be difficult to use on mobile or iPad

We are solving communication issues and task timeline issues and missed deadlines

I like the cards because it separates the different categories and I like how easy it is to invite or mention someone in an update.

The system is confusing and frankly all over the place. It’s hard to use and it’s hard to teach others to use.

We can communicate as a team and get ideas and information passed around which is nice.

It looks very pretty. The UI is pretty great. People can make comments and I'm notified. It's also nice to be able to attach files or links for everyone to be able to see and use at the same time.

Anything that can be done here can be done in Google Sheets but better.

We were using Trello to organize rotations for the band for a church. Adding people was easy along with attaching files and such.

the simple interface is easy to use and clear to understand

I am unable to say much in this catagory

How to organise the team so everyone knows what they are doing

I like the fact that Trello helps you see other customers reviews and what they think.

I dislike the fact that it shows you different customer ratings, it should be kept confidential

It has made my work easier as I am able to see different problem areas from customer reviews.

I love to stay organized, so I liked that I could create different lists and drag and drop my items to where they needed to be.

I'm not sure what it was, exactly, I disliked about Trello, I just found it to not be very efficient for me. I would forget to organize my items or forget to look at it. I may have just not been familiar enough with the different tools it had to offer.

We were using it to manage a project within our team & I have also used it for my personal to-do tracking.

I like color coding the events, and being able to assign other users

I dislike the inflexibility to categorize by calendar

My school work, it's easy to map out assignments

Its fast to log in, and it integrates well to my gmail account

Its too simple...I'd rather use something like Google notes to do the same thing that trello does.

I haven't solved any issues with trello that I haven't already solved with Google notes

It's simple. If you need a place to track lists of cards, Trello is the OG. Get your lists organized and in one place where they exist.

It's too simple. Many other companies are out there offer up more project management oriented features and plugins with other platforms. Trello has sort of stayed the same for years.

We constantly come up with lists, whether it be content related, feature related, or task related, Trello is a great place to get the info written down somewhere.

Trellis is useful for mapping out a complex, long term project.

It was way over complicated to use compared to other project management software options.

Trello was good for creating a visual outlay of the timeframe to completion

Trello is pretty clean, and not super difficult to navigate.

The platform is pretty dated, and there aren't as many useful features as softwares like Asana.

It doesn't have great options for time-tracking or built-in reporting.

We use trello to communicate between different teams on development of our mobile app. We have management, UI/UX, and developers all able to communicate and all in 3 different time zones across the world.

I dislike the interface and functionality of the tremolo board. It’s cumbersome to use and I wouldn’t recommend unless you have a very task oriented business. It has to be linear and can’t waver in specificity otherwise I think there is too much to read in between the lines.

We have management, UI/UX, and developers all able to communicate and all in 3 different time zones across the world. We can put tasks up there to be accomplished and discuss them so it’s transparent to all teams.

The easiness to move cards between panels on each board

the search feature is not the best. freezes up a lot

I like that you can easily track progress on specific boards. it is hard to find the board that you want though.

I thought this was an innovative application and well thought out

This ended up having too many moving pieces and data points for my liking

Project Management

I like the idea of Trello a lot- in theory, it would work really well for the collaborative projects my team has that are comprised of many moving pieces.

I find the user design very difficult to use. It’s too easy to move things around inadvertently, but too complicated to make new items and properly categorize them.

I would like to solve team collaboration on projects with many small components that could be accomplished by anyone on the team.

It has organized task boards and priority listings.

I can use "Reminders" just fine. It does not have any additional or superior functionalities, just adds an app to the phone/laptop.

A club I'm a part of is using it to get oriented for the year. I also tried once to organize my personal tasks, then just ended up switching to apple built-in apps (so much simpler interface). I don't really see any benefits.

The ease of use is probably the most useful thing when it comes to Trello

There is a lot going on, a lot to take it, can almost be unorganized compared to organized.

Was trying to coordinate event across the country involving 300 host and gardens, the benefits are just being able to see it all in once place.

I am old school person. I love sticky notes and then when Trello came with its board, I quickly switched to that. I think I am saving trees now 😁

I am not fascinated with the look and file of Trello. I create boards on my mobile app, but I cannot change the color of my list. I enjoy colorful sticky notes

I love the notes look and feel of Trello and I use Trello is my own start-up in tracking my product progress

It gives an overview of topics and tasks that’s easily accessible for a team or group of people

It’s messy, especially when several members of a team handle cards, one can easily loose track of one of the cards or loose it altogether

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t see benefits of this app, for me it created more work than it solved

I liked that we were all able to collaborate in the office

I did not like how I couldn't organize projects and assign tasks to each project like I needed to

It was a way for the office to keep passwords for the whole team secure, if someone changed something we would all know where to find it.

The Trello platform is reasonably OK and adaptable to various scenarios.

I had an issue with their deficient two-factor authentication system which has clearly not been fully tested for issues. In the end, after 3 weeks of chasing their support team, no resolution. Regrettably, rather than trying to find a way around the solution or admit that the platform does not provide any commercially sensible fix, they just drag the matter out and in the end tell me only that I have to set up an entire new account. In my case it will take hours of building new email addresses and involving multiple 3rd parties which will cost me in the thousands of dollars to rectify. For this reason, I would highly recommend against Trello. If you have no issues that require support and you don't uncover the bugs in the system, but if you do - as in my case, you are left hanging. On top of that, not one single offer of credit or compensation.

Standard project management - benefits same as other platforms.

The attachment and checklist features work well and I like being able to assign folks to the cards that concern them.

I can never see the entire board at once and I have can have a hard time sorting through card to find the one I need when I use the search feature.

project management - the whole team should be able to see where in the process we are

The product is easy to use, and makes an electronic organizational system function very similarly to hard paper, aka the old school method.

The product itself doesn't offer me any time savings. I spend more time looking at my tasks and organizing them than just getting them done.

It allows everyone to easily see my tasks and my priorities, which helps to avoid doubling up on work.

I liked the idea of a card based project management system.

The main UI has limited card visibility and relies too much on color labels to convey important information.

I used Trello for 9 months before deciding to move away from it and find a different application to use.

I liked the idea of Trello and that my team could see where each other was in terms of steps for various projects.

It was too complicated to us. It just felt like a lot of busy work without a lot of payoff.

None.

It was easy to figure out and simple to use.

It really only seemed useful for website work, which is only a portion of what we do at my company.

We were trying to figure out a better way to manage tasks / resources and keep timelines transparent. To be honest, this wasn't the right to do that.

Having never used Trello before, It was simple to set up.

It is very possible that I am not using Trello correctly or to it's full potential. It is hard to find my to do items and the calendar function was not working for me. I find the conversations difficult to follow.

Project management, collaboration and communication. Unfortunately, our project has gone off the rails and we have reverted back to just emailing.

I like how simple to use Trello is, and how unopinionated it is when it comes to how you should do project management. It works well for small teams and projects. It's extremely easy for new users to come in and understand how to use the tool to manage their tasks.

* Not very good at integrating with version control systems * Not very good at integrating with other dev workflow systems * Does not support sub-issues in any way * No burndown support * Does not track sprints or epics * Everything is either a card or a column. Distinguishing between a Sprint and an Epic is difficult * Does not reflect build status * Cards do not follow PRs * Extremely easy for new users to misunderstand how things work and put things in the wrong place. * Extremely common for developers to do most of their work outside of Trello and forget to update cards. * Due to poor integrations, Trello gets out of date easily, and requires a PM to really stay on top of cards and of people

Currently using Trello for project management, but there are serious issues as teams scale up and projects become more complicated.

You can add features (power ups) based on your needs. The calendar feature is helpful to understand your and your teammate's timeline. I like how you can assign members and due dates.

You can only 'archive' a project and not check it as complete. I don't really like the lay out, not really organized. I don't like how you need to go into each card to see the details - people often time miss the comments/details in each card.

We are trying to manage projects better and communicate better.

There are many functionalities, I'll give them that. I'm sure there is a ton yo can do with it if you invest the time and energy into learning about it.

I am NOT a fan of Atlassian products. As a long time CSM, I can confirm that the ease of use is awful. Trello is just not an intuitive product.

I hired a coach remotely, and that coach leveraged Trello to manage my projects and tasks. It solved the problem of communicating with a coach on the opposite sides of the world, as well as provided a convenient place to store files and chat asynchronously.
