About Trello
Trello is a project management software that helps teams organize and manage their tasks and projects from anywhere.
Trello is extremely intuitive, fast, and beautiful. It has some of the best UI I have ever had the pleasure of using.
The task management system is bad and when the project gets to an operational phase, the performance of the team suffers.

Good solution for project management. There should be a feature to sort entries in the card by tag.
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Probably the easiest to pick up and use.
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Trello as a second-brain platform
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
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.
A Simple and Intuitive Tool for Project Management
Comments: My experience with Trello was very good. I have used Trello in multiple project of mine. It is very useful tool to manage and monitor the tasks. Helps the development process.
Pros:
1.User-Friendly Interface - Trello's interface is simple and clean, which makes it easy for new users to jump in. The drag-and-drop functionality is user-friendly. 2.Customizable Cards: Each card on Trello can hold a wealth of information, such as checklists, attachments, due dates, labels, and comments. This level of customization makes it flexible for tracking various aspects of tasks.
Cons:
Unlike some other project management tools, Trello doesn’t come with built-in time-tracking features. You’ll need third-party integrations.
A Flexible and Visual Project Management Tool
Comments: My experience with Trello is awesome, I like the feature of personal and team-based task management, offering more flexibility and ease of use. sometime we need the advanced version for team but we managed it by teamwork or by sharing the tasks.
Pros:
Its user interface is user friendly and the interesting drag and drop feature. work for anything from to-do list to smart workflows.
Cons:
Its advanced automation and integration required paid plans.
Trello deserve all the praise and mentions,Unmatched tool for Project Management.
Comments: Trello has been helping us to manage our projects in a more efficient way.Generating and sharing reporta is easy .
Pros:
I like how it's easy to assign tasks and share the project status with all the interestes team members. Provide lot of flexibility when it comes to customizing the dashboard to fit the specific needs.
Cons:
So far haven't experience any challenge ,the experience is amazing.
Alternatives Considered:
Trello is easy to use and visually attractive
Comments:
Very positive for small projects.
Not so good for more complex projects.
Pros:
Visual interface. Easy to use. Power ups
Cons:
No swim lanes by y default. Difficult to have granular follow up of projects like for example Kanbanize had.
The fastest way to manage your projects!
Comments: Whenever I want to manage a project very quickly with an easy to use tool, I open my trello. It's mobile app and notification system is also amazing.
Pros:
This is my favorit! It is easy to use. It has a very good free version. And it has enough flexibility to manage a wide variety of projects with it!
Cons:
I can have tasks and even checklists inside each task but no subtasks.
A+ for Tracking Projects Across Multiple Clients
Comments: Easy to use but a little bit of a learning curve. Lots of integrations (for example we use the Box plugin) which make things smoother. Overall it's an amazing project management tool for agencies or individuals.
Pros:
Trello makes it super easy for me and my team to track our projects across a multitude of clients. Even the free version has allowed us to get what we needed for some early wins.
Cons:
The free version allows only one big project, which there are separate boards within. This is fine but the flexibility of having more projects (which is only in the paid version) would be nice.

Visual Workflow Integration with Trello
Comments: Trello is a very intuitive and flexible way to manage the design tasks and also the design team's work in general; its visual approach to project management helps clarity and team alignment, so it’s a very cool way to organize design flows, work on the team, and keep on time for the project.
Pros:
Trello stands out with something like custom Kanban boards that make visual task management a reality; Power-Ups so you can keep customizing and integrating additional functionality; and a variety of third party tools. By visual dashboards, Trello allows management of design tasks and timelines effectively; it allows the remaining of lines of communication and monitoring of team progress.
Cons:
Complex project tracking still has limited reporting and analytics capability, as well as the absence of embedded time tracking for accurate project estimation.

Best Project Management Software!
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.

Alternatives Considered:
It's simple, easy to use and 'good enough' for most things
Comments: Great for project management for small teams
Pros:
The basic kanban-style board fits most projects and situations. The card-layout makes it very well-organized and all of my team-members quickly got the hang of it.
Cons:
To acces the most useful functions (power-ups) you need to upgrade. You don't have a lot of options for team-member roles or permissions. They can basically do everything within your board and that makes it messy sometimes. The design is a bit dated and not very aesthetic, it doesn't have that professional look some other task management software does have.
Alternatives Considered:
Feasible and Proactive Project Management at Finger Tips
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.

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.

Streamlined Communications With Trello
Comments: Trello makes work easy for us and it improves productivity in our company.
Pros:
Trello has streamlined communications on project collaborations and I love Trello because I can work remotely with this software.

Trello wins for me
Comments: Overall this system helps me plan my days better as well as allowing me the ease of seeing what new starters I have and when whilst allowing me to make any notes I need too so I can always check back on things I have done. This means it helps with minimising any errors.
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.
Trello Easy to use!
Comments: Hands down the best app I've used for warehouse inventory tracking and receiving. really user friendly and customer support is fast and friendly.
Pros:
Trello is really easy to jump right in and make it work for what you need. I used it for warehouse inventory.
Cons:
Hard to find any negatives about Trello for me. Maybe adding pictures to a card that you can scroll through, instead of attachments you have to click through. also, printable QR codes for each card that can be added to inventory would be nice.
Remarkable Tool for PPM and Collaboration
Pros:
Trello is the most robust tool which I use as monday.com alternative. Availability of collaboration features is another great aspect which I crown 👑 Trello for.
Cons:
Never have I experienced drawback while utilizing Trello on my user end.

Pros:
Trello allocates a wide range of features which enables me to track time on projects automatically. Task creation and project issuing are other aspects that I like about Trello.
Cons:
Trello barely fails me whenever I turn to it for PM and TM.

An excellent alternative for PM
Comments: Overall, I find it a fantastic alternative for project management for small-medium teams and projects. It saves a lot of time and money because it allows the team manager to keep track of all the tasks and really helps with the member's collaboration. I highly recommend it!
Pros:
Visually it is very beautiful and feels organized and clean. It allows a lot of customization and movement of the cards so you can really play around with your options saving a lot of time. It is very versatile in this sense. At the same time, it is super easy to learn and when you bring a new member to the team, little explanation is needed to get them integrated.
Cons:
If the project has many moving parts or many members, it starts to feel cluttered and slow. The search tool could use improvement too.
A good way to manage and plan your tasks
Comments: I've been using Trello for years and it helps me a lot on task management. When you have a big project, it's easy to identify and separate the different tasks involved. You can add comments, custom labels, checkpoints, mentions, attach files/pictures, and much more stuff on them. Also you can format the text in a lot of different ways, like headers, code snippets, URLs, etc.
Pros:
- It's web-based, which is always a good point. - Easy to use: intuitive, clean GUI... - I can have all my pending tasks organized and tracked. - It's collaborative. - It has a free plan. - They have mobile app. - They add new features included in the free plan.
Cons:
- From time to time they change the GUI or some features, and sometimes it becomes confusing. - Free plan limitations (which are normal).
