Great Project Management Cloud Sofware Beset with Issues

3.0 8 months ago

Comments: Trello is easy to onboard new people and set up organization boards in the Kanban style for keeping track of projects as they progress through a workflow. However, many of the basic features that used to be free have moved behind a paywall that is prohibitively expensive for small teams of less than five people. We paid for a two-person setup, but random features reserved for paid users would occasionally stop working. One time we could not user stickers on the face of cards. Another, the drag and drop functionality between cards stopped on the browser. Also, the email-to-board functionality is really limited compared to competitors.

Pros:

* Easy to onboard new people * Easy to set up workflow and multiple boards * Lots of customization if you pay for premium seats * Automation makes board management less tedious

Cons:

* $10 per user price is prohibitively expensive for small teams * The email to board experience is not as robust as competitors * Features randomly stop working with no communication

Trello - Great for teams and managing the mess

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall the software did what we needed, tracking our team and showing our schedule timeline for software releases. Really a great tool for small teams looking to grasp their jobs and find a management system.

Pros:

Was great at managing teams and allowed us to see all the jobs we had on hand. We could categorise and add notes to make it visible which was most urgent.

Cons:

Trello had some limitations eg, not able to add graphs or visuale the data in maths terms. Still pleasant experience though.

Trello's T'riffic

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall my experience with Trello has been great. I like a kanban board! And it's relatively easy to get started and free for the most part!!

Pros:

The ability to collaborate remotely and keep track of tasks

Cons:

Sometimes it doesn't feel intuitive, and joining a board can be slightly confusing if you're already a user and/or have multiple email addresses.

Trello: Amazing Task Management App with outdated UI

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Aside from the UI being rather outdated, overall, Trello has streamlined our workflow significantly.
Highly recommended for teams of all sizes, looking for an intuitive task management tool.

Pros:

Simplicity - it's really easy to start using it in a team and then to create tasks, basically in no time.

Cons:

UI - in my opinion Trello's UI is behind most of its competitors and needs to be seriously updated, especially in terms of how it looks.

Best Project Management Software!

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: It's honestly hard to think of cons; I am extremely satisfied with this software. However, one issue I’ve encountered is the inability to post images solely in the comments—any image posted also gets added to the attachments. For my needs, I want images in comments to remain separate from those in attachments to avoid confusion and disorganization. If users had the option to keep images exclusive to the comment section, this software would be truly perfect.

Pros:

If you're not using Trello for task management, you should be. It's the best software out there for this purpose, incredibly easy to learn and master—I got the hang of it in just 5-15 minutes. Trello's ability to create unlimited lists to customize our workplace pipeline is invaluable. I can update my boss on task progress with a couple of clicks, and she instantly gets notified and provides feedback. I constantly use labels and checklists to track smaller details, ensuring we both fully understand the current status of tasks. My co-workers also use it, making it easy to check project statuses without having to ask them directly. This software has truly transformed the way I work, and I can't imagine going back to a time before Trello.

Cons:

It's honestly hard to think of cons, I am just extremely satisfied with this software. Although one I can think of is the inability to post images in just the comments, if you post an image, it will be added to the attachments as well. For my use case, I want images in the comments and images I add to the attachments to be separate as it can get a bit unorganized and confusing. If they let users have the option to keep an image exclusive to the comment section then the software would be truly perfect.

Trello is the epitome of a user-friendly tool for managing your projects.

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: Overally, I highly regard Trello for its intuitive interface, flexible functionality and robust collaboration features. More, so its ease of use, accessibility and effectiveness in enhancing productivity and teamwork makes it a product I would readily recommend to anyone who needs to get started

Pros:

Promotes teamwork through its collaboration tools and it is mostly free. Additionally, its Kanban boards can be employed as a receptacle for many people's responsibilities, allowing you to view every action they complete on just one board.

Cons:

The free version is somewhat limited however it can be upgraded. Also even the upgraded version has some limitations in dealing with advanced automated tasks that I handle

Feasible and Proactive Project Management at Finger Tips

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall, a great Project management tool to manage projects efficiently for Individual Contributors as well as Team Collaborations. Best thing, it provides the visibility and authoritative freedom to work on projects and move them to in-progress or completion status in real time providing super quick and efficient timeline to other parties involved.

Pros:

This software is a great project management tool to manage multiple projects or a parent project with sub-projects/tasks within the main domain being managed at once that too with great eased and visibility power.

Cons:

The customization is too limited and gets confusing for simple things. There needs to be too many human touches to create a simple workflow.

Pros:

The flexibility of Trello allows me to be as creative as I am in my business. The templates availble have helped me exliminate startup time for my projects. I've found many templates that perfectly fit what I want to do. Also, the way the app starts up and operates, I'm immediately into my working environment.

Cons:

The calendaring functions need some work. I'd like to be able to sync with my Apple Reminders and other built in iOS apps.

Huge Trello Fan

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: I set up Trello boards for my clients so that I can submit my work on one board, they can review my work on the next board and then move it to approved. It helps me streamline and keep track of all of my work for my marketing clients.

Pros:

I love the Kanban style of Trello. I've used the platform for years because I enjoy that method of organization.

Cons:

The only con of Trello is the pricing. I was using it for my large team but then they changed the pricing and they were going to charge me per member so I cancelled it for my organization and just kept it for personal use.
