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

5.0 2 months ago

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.

Probably the easiest to pick up and use.

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Great. Especially with the power-up add-ons.

Pros:

Trello is probably the easiest to pick up and use of all the project management software that is commonly found in businesses. If you've worked in a kanban/agile team, especially, however browsing the templates makes it clear that there are many other creative approaches you can take outside of that.

Cons:

I dislike how everyone has to be on the same plan. I use Trello across organisations and I like to be on a premium membership, however, some of the teams I work with don't have paid subscriptions and when I sign up with the same email as them my options are to either pay for the entire team or drop back to the free tier.

Trello review

Comments: I used Trello when I joined my company for a few months to organize our tasks and the different ongoing projects

Pros:

what I like the most about Trello is that you can see everything on a single page, you don´t need to jump from one to another one

Cons:

Everything is a bit messy and unorganized.

Trello as a second-brain platform

5.0 4 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.

The Ultimate CRM

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: My overall experience with Trello has been positive. I've been using it for nearly a decade as a CRM. I've also used in my personal life to keep things on the track, to keep lists of websites and other things I don't want to lose track of, etc. It's a great tool for organizing thoughts and goals and executing on them long term.

Pros:

I like how flexible and versatile it is. I particular enjoy the due dates, as it helps keep me on track. I use Trello as a CRM and have for years, it works wonderfully. The ability to drag cards from list to list is fantastic, making moving prospects through a sales funnel literally a click away.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind. Trello is a great tool that is highly versatile. With all the powerups available, it seems there is little you cannot do with it.
