Good solution for project management. There should be a feature to sort entries in the card by tag.

5.0 last month New

Comments: Ready-made templates are sufficient. However, integrations are a bit complicated. However, it is a platform where you can easily manage your projects or work with cards.

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.

Good at being Kanban, Bad at Everything Else

3.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Trello is good if you know you just want a Kanban board. Otherwise, alternatives will have better features, with Kanban as part of a broader project/task management approach.

Pros:

Its free version is a fairly good value. If you specifically want a Kanban board, then there is nothing better.

Cons:

I don't think that Kanban is a really good interface for project management. I wish that it had a greater variety of views, like lists and Gantt, that you need for larger projects. The use cases where Kanban alone is good enough is fairly small.

Trello as a second-brain platform

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: I have used Trello at many workplaces and environments and it has been found to help me be more effective at tracking my personal to-do lists as well as project-based tasks in addition to wider-ranging initiatives.
Overall, it helps serve as a second brain in many ways.

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.

#1 in my book

5.0 last month New

Comments: I tried several project management tools before finding Trello and once I landed on Trello, I've never stopped using it. It's ease and compatibility with my ADHD brain makes it number one in my book!

Pros:

I love that this platform is easy to use, self-explanatory, and easily customizable.

Cons:

There needs a feature to highlight important info within the cards. I saw that there is some add-ons that would make this available but that negates the whole reason I use Trello - tech dummy friendly

Helpful to keep track of lots of small(ish) moving parts

4.0 last month New

Comments: Good for keeping track of several moving parts. Helpful that others can add and complement. The colour coding is also great.

Pros:

I like the visual organisation of the cards and the ease with which you can add and delete information

Cons:

Sometimes the card view does not quite reflect the dynamics of the project.

Great for small web development teams

5.0 last month New

Comments: Trello is a fantastic tool for web development companies looking to streamline their workflows. The board-based system allows teams to organize projects, track progress, and assign tasks visually

Pros:

Trello is an intuitive and highly visual project management tool perfect for teams and individuals.

Cons:

Trello becomes too lackadaisical for larger projects and cumbersome for large teams. Also there's too many add-ons needed to fully us it.

Trello - A simple and easy-to use project management tool

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I've been using Trello for many years now as both a personal to-do list organizer and a project management tool with multiple contributors. I've stuck with it all this time despite the allure of alternatives because Trello is simple and very easy to use.

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.

For a free tool, what's not to like? 10/10 from me!

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Easy to use, simple design interface, fun to use and better than similar apps, e.g. Teams, Slack and others. For a free tool, what's not to like? 10/10 from me.

Pros:

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.

Trello is like a real witheboard, but digital and powerful!!!

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Because we are a company with employees in various parts of the world, effective and efficient communication is too necessary for us. Trello helps us designate tasks without have long meetings. I also see the progress of projects and who us working on which task. Whenever there is any progress on an assignment, I can move the card to another quadrant of the dashboard, so I know there has been a change. The truth is that Trello is a very flexible software and I can organize my ideas with it.

Pros:

I can integrate functionality from other software into Trello, so I have everything important in one interface. Comments allow us to communicate very well, without the need for chats. Notifications are fast and the interface is very easy to read. The drag and drop functions are very fluid and make the functions very easy to use.

Cons:

I think using the more complex functions are a bit more difficult to use. they are not necessary, really, but I wish they were more accessible.

Increased Task Efficiency Within Teams

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: My experience with Trello has been amazing. I have not encountered a better program that works as well as Trello when it comes to efficiency and organization.

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.

My Encounter with Trello

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.

Trello makes brainstorming and project management easy

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Great! I used Trello for roughly five years to keep track of all my project deliverables, milestones and calendar entries, and to work collaboratively with the team and others on projects and idea boards. It's a great tool for both quick collaboration and long-term planning.

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.

Visually Intuitive and Ideal for Organizing Projects

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall, Trello made managing design projects simple and streamlined. It’s intuitive and visually appealing, which suited my needs for tracking tasks and project stages, though it could use more flexibility for design-heavy workflows.

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.

My trick for staying organized!

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Wonderful! I’ve been using it for almost a decade and it helps me stay in top of all of my work.

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.

Trello wins for me

4.0 5 months ago

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.

Comments: Fantastic - simple clean UI and full customized ability

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

Great Tool for Job Organizing

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.

Good basic tool for tracking projects and tracks.

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall, Trello is a good option for keeping track of projects, tasks, and resources. The free version is a little less powerful than other similar software but it's still a good tool.

Pros:

I like that it's easy to arrange projects and tasks and to collaborate with team members.

Cons:

I don't like that there's not an easy task to do list based on deadlines, at least not in the free version.
