Overall Satisfaction with Trello

I use Trello as part of my team to communicate, post leads and track previous work completed. It's easy to review and check to see if I've already submitted a lead before. Also, I like how I receive an email if I'm away from my desk if a team member has asked a question or given me a new task to perform.
  • It's easy to see several things at once, it's a really helpful visual to see what others on my team are contributing. For people that are new, it's easy to give a recommendation about how to best comment and suggest a more efficient workflow.
  • Emails are not sent every time data is inputted, only when someone wants to get your attention or make sure you've received a directive.
  • You don't have to sign in every time you use the program, it's up for days at a time and doesn't time you out if you haven't used it for a day or two. Very nice feature for those of us that have tons of windows open in our browser any given day.
  • I haven't seen anything in particular that I didn't like, honestly.
  • The instructional video was helpful, but I had to watch it 3 times to get the hang of navigating around the software. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's common for learning new programs.
  • Much more tedious to use the mobile version. But hey, when the dashboard is that jam packed with needed info, you can't really complain.
  • It saves time, which allows me to make more money on other projects.
  • No negative impact.
  • I've only used it because my employer asked me to. Now that I'm used to it, I would use it if I were managing a medium size to large team.
Trello is the best of the ones I mentioned because it's visual and shows LOTS of things at once, rather that clicking on several different links to see only a moderate amount of info. One click, lots of info, saves time. Too many links makes it cumbersome and ultimately I might forget to click on one of them.
Best suited for people with at least 4+ team members to work with. Less appropriate if there's only two people. In that instance, just email one another, it's not worth the company fee for only 2 people. Best thing to do is try it out, you'll know then if it's best suited for your needs.
