Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Trello across our organization and with client- and supported-organizations. The ability to share Trello boards enables collaboration and management without the confines of more limited solutions, which in turn encourages more effective sharing of content and concepts. Trello enables us to collaborate on virtual boards that organize ideas, collect comments and store assets and links that are essential to website design, social media management, campaign planning and project tracking.
Pros
  • Trello is very effective at allowing a user to organize ideas in a personal fashion. Yes, the software has constraints in which you must work, but the card-based concept is easily accepted by an user who has every written ideas on scraps of paper.
  • Trello is available as a mobile app, a Mac app and as a website so the software adapts to and leverages the advantages of the platform on which you are currently work.
  • Trello also allows easy updates via email so ideas don't have to be filed for later action. Receive an emailed request and forward it directly to the appropriate Trello board.
  • Trello is very good when collaborating with users who are outside your organization, don't have a company email address or are on the other side of the world.
Cons
  • Trello is not as robust a product for the Windows environment, although the web interface is as functional as most users will need.
  • Trello does not make it easy to completely delete content. The archive function is useful but sometimes you just want to get rid of something completely.
  • Trello does note currently offer an offline editing function which would be very useful.
Likelihood to Recommend
I recommend Trello to clients and collaborative organizations who need to manage any size project. For some, the freeform aspect can be intimidating at first but soon becomes an expectation of other software solutions. Trello is especially good for visual learns, visual-centric businesses and projects related to communications and social media. With the mobile app, Trello enables the nice interface features to work without the quirks of advanced web design on tablets and phones.

Great team collaboration tool. Helped to accomplish tasks in our department.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Trello in our marketing department and collaborated with the design and content teams. It helped us set tasks and assign them to appropriate team members. We used labels and integration with Dropbox a lot, as we were dealing with different projects and design files. It was a great experience to use Trello, as it helped us to be more organized and achieve our daily goals for our department. I also used Trello's mobile app which was very convenient.
Pros
  • It's simple and very easy-to-use. You just sign up, create a board and you are all set.
  • The boards are very well visualized and it gives a clear picture of the overall situation. It helps a lot to see the big picture and keep the team organized.
  • It's very convenient to use Trello's mobile app on the go. It's again very user friendly and does the job perfectly.
Cons
  • It would be great to receive reminders when the tasks are approaching due dates.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's a great product both for personal use and also for using with a team. I personally used it with the marketing, design and content teams. It helps to organize the process from A to Z. You create a task on the board, add a description, assign members, set a due date and that's it. Of course, it has a lot of functionality, but you can use it as simply as that.

Very useful app for project collaboration

Our team uses it to make it easier for us to work on common projects. We like that we're able to set deadlines using it and see who that particular project belongs to. We also like how it organizes every assignments that we currently have from the ones that we've already finished.
Pros
  • You can set a pipeline for your projects.
  • Being able to organize all your tasks.
  • Color coding of cards according to the priority of each task.
Cons
  • It uses huge internet bandwidth so a stable internet connection is necessary.
  • Some functionalities like a button that will allow you to bold, underline, cross out letters is not available.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think that the app is very intuitive, easy to use and powerful for all your needs. Of course, if you need it for strong purposes, you need to pay a bit for it, but I think the pricing is very good for all the powerful features the app supports.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Trello in a number of ways in the business. From helping manage my personal tasks to managing the sales pipeline and project management. I use it via the app as a brain dump to get ideas out of my head into a list which I then organise via the cards into their priorities. Saves me having to juggle stuff in my head knowing its in there.

I use it to manage my sales pipeline so see visually the stages. Likewise for when I manage different types of projects. The visual card system helps me keep on track.
Pros
  • App is really handy
  • I like the card-based visuals and the simple navigation
  • I use the Zapier link to maximise the effectiveness
Cons
  • Could have different types of view like lists/Gantt
  • Addition of more custom fields would be handy
  • Struggle to find more cons as its pretty good
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited to manage personal tasks and actions. Especially if you use a GTD (Getting Things Done) based productivity regimen. Great for small teams collaborating and managing projects.
It's not a fully fledged CRM or project management system but it can help businesses make their first steps into using collaborative working systems.

Trello - Only a desktop app could make it better.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Trello to track projects and tasks that I pick up throughout the day. I was introduced to Trello by a previous manager who used it to manage different projects that we were working on. When we would meet together we would create new "cards" for tasks we were working on and apply a label for the project it applied to. Now I continue to use a similar setup, but for my smaller tasks that need to be done throughout the day. When I am in a meeting I create cards for the new tasks that come my way.
Pros
  • Trello is really lightweight. I don't know if it's because of the minimal design or some great coding, but it's extremely responsive.
  • Collaboration! After switching to Trello I stopped receiving update requests via email. Because we were working in real-time we didn't need to worry about updates via email.
  • Mobile! Trello's mobile app is really good.
  • Their free plan is also really good. Maybe I am a bit of a cheapskate but using their free plan is anything but painful. Many cloud based apps give you just a taste in their free plan, but I have yet had a need to upgrade.
Cons
  • Responsive Design: I would like to be able to resize my Trello window to be like a sidebar or something other than a traditional square, however it's not supported.
  • I wish it was easier to remove boards. When I first started using Trello I was using different boards for different projects, after a project was closed it took me quite a while to figure out where the setting was to delete that board.
Likelihood to Recommend
In my mind Trello works great for smaller teams. When using Trello on a team of 6 individuals it was great. I was able to quickly and easily see what each individual was working on. As a team we would create new cards for a project, pass the cards from one person to another attaching docs, images and links needed for each project. However I found that when working with large teams (15+) with separate projects the layout of the cards became too unwieldy.
