Trello Reviews

Pros

This software is a very user friendly app that helps organize work on boards for the whole team. It lets you track the actual time a team member spends on a task, set an estimated time frame for another one and add checklists to specific tasks to monitor progress. All of these features make it much easier to handle multiple tasks and manage several team members at the same time.

Cons

The upload size limit for files and images is quite small. The card sorting options are also limited since you can only sort by date and not by completed or partially completed tasks or by other useful criteria.

Pros

Using this platform for my business has been really helpful especially because the visual boards make it simple to drag and drop tasks around. The learning curve is light and I can quickly add due dates and checklists to keep everything organized. I set up a separate board for each client and subcontractor which works very well. The templates are also a big plus since they give you a solid starting point. On top of that, it's free or very affordable.

Cons

There's automation available through Butler but I still haven't been able to figure out how to use it properly. I also wish the free plan included more storage. Even so, the price is still very reasonable. Another thing I'd love to have is one master to-do list that pulls together all the due dates from every board.

Pros

This tool is incredibly easy to use while still offering plenty of customization. Different departments across our organization, from IT to event planning, use it in completely different ways and it works well for all of them.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints about this software. I use it every day and it consistently does the job well.

Pros

This software helps us put together quick to-do lists, track QA for new projects and scope out upcoming work without any hassle. The core features cover all of that really well and adding Scrum for this software gives us even more useful details right at our fingertips.

Cons

Something that could be better is what happens after I move an item to the done list. At that point, I can't tell where it originally came from. It would not matter in every case but on certain projects it would be really helpful to group or trace archived items that way.

Pros

Working with this platform feels very easy. You can set up a board with task lists, create a sprint backlog column and then move cards with drag-and-drop into "in progress" and "implemented" while assigning the responsible person. It's also convenient to attach pictures or screenshots directly to task cards.

Cons

It still misses a few things: there's no text formatting, no task version history, no nested task hierarchy, no project completion charts and no linked tasks with time planning.

Pros

Getting started with this tool is very easy and doesn't take much training at all. Even customers can figure it out on their own without needing an explanation and they're usually able to jump right in and start adding notes right away.

Cons

Cards can sit around and become outdated and the process for archiving or deleting them isn't always completely clear. We also ended up using it less as a true to-do list or Kanban board and more as a way to map out the scope of new projects.

Pros

From the start, this platform offers a lot of guidance on how to get the most out of the product. There are tons of webinars available that help users build a better approach to using this platform effectively. The biggest advantage is being able to clearly visualize priorities and decide what matters most and what needs to be completed, whether for personal goals or team projects at work.

Cons

At this point, I honestly don't have any complaints or issues to mention about using the software. It's updated regularly and there's plenty of support available whenever troubleshooting is needed.

Pros

Right away, this tool feels very easy to use and everything is pretty clear at a glance. The interface is simple to navigate which makes working in it comfortable. One thing I really appreciate is the email notifications I receive for all the labels in the premium version. Another especially useful feature is being able to assign a priority level to any card so it can be handled immediately.

Cons

The platform offers a lot of value at its paid professional price and even the free version is really solid. That said, I still think the notifications and the way people can be searched within groups could be improved.

Pros

Using this software across different platforms at the same time feels very fluid and consistent. It's also user friendly, pleasant to look at and the mobile apps are excellent.

Cons

The mobile apps are excellent but they still miss some text-formatting options that are available in the browser version and I'd really love to see that added. It would also be nice to control image previews in the platform by user instead of only by board. In some cases, search should behave more like a filter too so something like cards by me would instantly filter the board.

Pros

This platform has been part of my workflow for years, whether I'm tracking Scrum and Kanban work, using it as a lightweight CRM or keeping detailed account management notes while cutting down on Slack messages and email. It's not meant to replace tools like Jira, Salesforce or Zendesk but it does a really good job of bringing different processes into one place when you need a central system.

Cons

I'd still like to see a way to pause a board that's currently active or dim it while keeping it visible. Archiving doesn't really solve that need.

Pros

Getting started with this project management tool is really easy. Building boards for Agile, SCRUM or Kanban-style projects is quick and it works well for keeping everything organized in an efficient and effective way.

Cons

A limitation I noticed is that it integrates more easily with Gmail than with Microsoft Office. I also couldn't use Microsoft Teams for conferences and had to rely on Google Hangouts instead.

Pros

This software has been a really helpful way for me to keep information, tasks and basically every part of a project organized. I've been using it for years and it has only improved over time especially with the add-ons. I rely on it for professional project management as well as for my special projects with NASA's L'SPACE program. I also use this software with a premium add-on called PlanWay which adds more project management features like Gantt charting and makes task assignments and ownership much easier for team-based work.

Cons

At the beginning, years ago, I jumped into the application without taking the time to really learn how to use it. Without a clear system for organizing lists and cards, it can become messy and feel overwhelming pretty quickly. What helped was spending a little time reading tutorials and watching videos about the platform on YouTube which made it much easier to structure my information properly. That would be my advice to new users. Other than that, I honestly have no complaints and really love using it.

Pros

This platform keeps things simple, does exactly what I need and offers plenty of plugins if you want to add more functionality.

Cons

It doesn't come packed with a lot of extra bells and whistles but if you're after free project management software that's quick to learn, stays out of the way and gives you a solid place to track project progress more easily, this does the job really well.

Pros

Running both the employer and employee side of my work means I need to stay very organized and disciplined to keep everything moving properly. That's why this tool's integration stands out to me. It gives me a workspace for setting goals while also including a calendar layout which helps a lot with managing different responsibilities at once. It handles multiple tasks really well and makes it simple to separate teams, divisions and departments as needed.

Cons

An area that can be a little frustrating is managing the goal cards and how they function. They're definitely very useful overall but moving, deleting or editing them doesn't always feel as effortless as it should. That part can turn into a slight hassle at times. Aside from that, the software is excellent.

Pros

Breaking bigger projects into smaller tasks works really well with this tool. You can assign specific cards to different people which makes ownership and accountability much clearer and then split those tasks down even further with individual owners and deadlines. It's a really effective way to manage projects especially when everyone is working from different locations.

Cons

Managing several boards at once can become a bit confusing. It also took us a while to figure out the best way to structure everything, like deciding what should be a board versus what should be a task. A training video showing the best ways to use the application, with practical examples, would be really helpful. There are plenty of power-ups being promoted but it would make more sense to teach users the basics properly before pushing advanced features.

Pros

Being free is a huge plus and beyond that, it's a really fun and effective way to organize just about anything. The platform feels solid and there are plenty of third-party plugins available to extend what it can do.

Cons

At the beginning, it was a bit overwhelming. I wasn't very eager to dive in at first because I wasn't sure how to get around the interface. After doing quite a bit of research and talking with coworkers who already used it, I finally jumped in and started working with it.

Pros

Honestly, this software has been amazing for staying on top of my time and keeping track of tasks for both myself and my clients. I usually set up one main task, then break it down into smaller short-term tasks so I have a clear guide or roadmap to follow step by step. As each smaller task gets done, I can check it off which makes it really easy to see exactly where things stand at any moment.

Cons

Issue is that the free version is a bit limited when it comes to sharing. From what I understand, you can only share with around 2 to 3 people for free although you can still create unlimited shared tasks within that small group.

Pros

Back when our team first adopted it over five years ago, we were still pretty inexperienced with project management and needed something to keep us organized and track where our time and effort were going. This software ended up being a really pleasant surprise because the tools were simple to pick up and use. It gave us a solid starting point for learning project management especially with boards, cards and sorting features that helped structure our work.

Cons

We never really dug into the deeper integrations or more advanced ways to use it but it does seem heavily built around kanban and card-wall style workflows. That is not necessarily a downside if that is exactly what you need. But if your team's needs expand over time, the application may start to feel limited and might not scale along with you.

Pros

Right from the start, this platform feels simple to use and it helps me organize my day in no time. I really enjoy how visual it is. Having all my tasks laid out on one screen makes it much easier to see everything at once and plan out my day properly.

Cons

I do wish that certain features, like recurring tasks, were included for free. The free version feels a bit limited and could offer more functionality although I do understand that the company needs ways to make money.

Pros

Does a really nice job of helping our team categorize tasks, stay organized and keep our event planning process running efficiently, even while working with people across different parts of the world.

Cons

A few features feel a bit limited. I still lean toward Asana in some cases because it offers more ways for my team to map out ideas and collaborate across different platforms.
