Overall Satisfaction with Trello

We use it primarily to manage our engineer to order design and customer approval workflow. It is used by people across the organization. It has helped to provide easy and quick visibility to the status of the workflow. Prior to Trello, we had several unsuccessful tools trying to perform this function.
  • Visually represent project workflow status.
  • Track tasks that need to be completed along with the people assigned to complete those tasks.
  • So easy to use and accessible that compliance is high.
  • Yet another cloud service with a subscription, and login to manage for users
  • Does provide easy executive reporting
  • Quickly address information gaps in our design workflow
  • Got everyone on the same page for managing the status of projects
  • We only use the free version so ROI was great
Still evaluating Microsoft Teams, but since we already pay for Office 365 including teams, and there is significant overlap in functionality, we may consider moving to Teams in the future. One less login id, cloud solution, url etc. to manage.
Never really needed support outside of their support website or google results. Overall it is very easy to use.

Yes

Did Trello live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Trello go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Trello again?

Yes

Great for simple project collaboration tasks with somewhat tech savvy users. Really easy to set up and manage work flows and projects. Less useful where a structured project plan with regular reporting is required. Free version has tons of features so if you are less concerned with locking everything down, it is an easy and quick solution. Paid version adds many admin features, but comes with the overhead of maintaining it.
