“Handy way to organize information”

Overall rating3.0

For my own website - brianna thomas writes, I tried my hands on Trello and found that it is a handy way to organize information, but it is not as user friendly as some of its competitors.

“Those who prefer simple UX designs and basic collaboration tools, Trello’s boards sound like the perfect solution”

Overall rating3.0

I’ve been using collaboration tools for as long as I’ve been working with the content marketing team at TalentLMS. For those who prefer simple UX designs and basic collaboration tools, Trello’s boards sound like the perfect solution. You only drag and drop cards to the relevant column, and all the information is right in front of you from the moment you log in.

“It's a good, solid tool and well suited for its intended purpose”

Overall rating4.0

Pros: Trello is a great tool to organize team projects. It's a useful tool for projects using an agile project management style, or with a smaller number of tasks. We also found it useful to generate client status reports. We were able to organize and communicate project updates to clients in a more visually appealing way than the traditional Excel format.

Cons: It doesn't have a robust backend framework that other Project Management tools have. It's best suited for simpler, shorter projects without a lot of dependencies. Depending on the size of the project, it can be more useful to have tasks dynamically appear on a person's individual task when they are ready to be worked on.

It's a good, solid tool and well suited for its intended purpose. For larger projects, or managing a large number of projects for my company - DKY, I'd prefer to use a more robust platform as my primary tool and would use Trello to supplement task tracking or reports.

“Clean and Organised”

Overall rating5.0

We run multiple affiliate websites. Keeping in touch with my team at Kurated Media Ltd it is essential to running my business smoothly, which means I have tried out all of the project management tools I could find.

Experience of using Asana software - Pros, Cons and overall Experience



Trello has what you could call a more juvenile design, and it looks a lot like a corkboard. However, it remains clean and organized. The ability to create lists, cards, assign tasks, and attach a variety of files is nice and versatile.

However, completing tasks is easier in the sense that they don’t go away, you can archive old projects, and also connect multiple boards for better organization. The layout is simple but very user-friendly, and navigating Trello is a much easier task.

Organisation is a central part of my work life, and so being able to find tools that help with that is very important to me. Trello is my favorite because it is more flexible and easier to navigate.

“Affordable and easy to use”

Overall rating5.0

As a Writer of Merchant Maverick, I found that Trello is a great solution for businesses that are looking for task management software. It should not be considered full project management software as it lacks time tracking and risk assessment features. The great advantage of the software is it is both affordable and easy to use. Trello is best for businesses that prefer to use Kanban boards to plan and manage projects.

“Very limited tool”

Overall rating3.0

At ProofHub, In our quest to explore other tools and their usage we found out that Trello is a very limited tool with very limited features. Trello has so limited features that people are drawn to choose a no-brainer.

“Amazing software to simplify your overall management process”

Overall rating4.0

As a CMO of Maple Holistics, here are my thoughts regarding Trello software:

Pros of Trello:

Organization - If you have a lot of tasks that need to get done, Trello is great for keeping track of all of them. You can separate your tasks into lists so you can better see a view of your entire day. It also helps you prioritize.

Teamwork - Trello is great for project management for teams because it keeps everyone on the same page. You can easily assign tasks to different people and know as soon as it's completed. It’s a great way to boost productivity in the office as well.

Cons of Trello:

Needs an internet connection - One of the major cons of Trello is that you need the internet to be able to access it. If for some reason you don’t have internet, you won’t have Trello. You may think you always have an internet connection, but there are rare occasions when you won’t.
