Clearview InFocus vs Trello

Likelihood to Recommend

Compared to other accounting software, I think InFocus offers more functionalities and it's very user friendly. It's a cloud based solution you can easily access remotely, and the connection speed is quite fast. It integrates project management data and financial data, which is important for an engineering company like us.

Trello is great for tracking the progress of projects that have specific completion dates or tasks that must be finished in specific orders. We've used it for fundraising projects and event planning, not to mention planning of specific work projects. Trello's flexibility makes it so easy to set up and share new boards with interested parties.

Easy color categorization of the "Cards" (which can represent anything from projects to tasks)
Ease of use overall - you can divide work into columns and move it from column to column depending on status
You can create multiple boards, which are spaces to store tasks (for different work contexts, or even private boards)
You can easily share boards with another person
You can easily assign tasks (Cards) to persons
You can store information in cards, like files and short format text

Swim Lanes - they are nonexistent. There is a third-party tool to add them but it's buggy as all get out
View - I am not sure how to do it but I really wish I didn't have to pick between viewing all cards with no detail or one with all detail. Maybe the ability to collapse and expand?
Integrations - It would be amazing if I could easily pop action items from Gmail over to Trello, but right now I can only copy text or upload screenshot attachments.

Trello 10.0

Based on 3 answers

I am very likely to renew Trello, because it doesn't cost anything to do so. I am also very likely to use Trello's upgraded features in the future because a lot of my team's data is stored on there and they have already gotten used to the platform. Trello is very easy for new team members to pick up, making the onboarding and usability very streamlined.

Trello 8.5

Based on 44 answers

Overall, Trello is a great tool to use. It's very user-friendly, very powerful and we've set it up to work well for our team. I've recommended it to others who need something free or very cheap and it's worked well for them too. If you're wanting something with more muscle, then I'd suggest looking at either monday.com or Airtable.

Trello 8.1

Based on 161 answers

I have never needed to contact Trello's customer support team. For the most part, the app is pretty self-explanatory. I have used their help center and find it really useful, particularly their Getting Started guides, which cover everything from general information to feature deep dives and best practices. The help center is available in six different languages and the Trello Community is there to answer questions along with Trello Support.

Trello 9.0

Based on 2 answers

For our small business, getting a few of us started well on Trello was the key, I think. As long as a couple of us were really comfortable with the interface, we could lead others and help them with any questions. From now on, anyone who works with us just naturally uses Trello for information sharing - it's just part of what we do.

I would say Trello is very well suited for my team's needs as we are relatively small in size but frequently scale up based on the project's size and needs. We tend to use it at a basic level for organizing internal tasks and to-dos, but also develop large complicated boards when need be. It doesn't seem like other systems (like Basecamp) scale very well and really require a more consistent type of workload to make the best use of them.

Trello helps me maintain visibility into what my international teams are doing - even if we can't be in the same room together, we can be on the same board together.
Trello helps us manage WIP so as to reduce the amount of things we are trying to do simultaneously.
(Negative) Our teams often use Trello as a crutch for traditional communication - instead assuming people will detect changes on the board on their own.
