Overall Satisfaction with Trello

We use Trello internally to plan and manage Product Development/Research and Development initiatives. We also use Trello to manage client engagements if the client company already has Trello in place. Teams, boards, and tasks are easy to create, and Trello makes project collaboration straightforward and relatively painless, particularly when compared to more traditional project management tools.
  • Team creation and management.
  • Day-to-day task management.
  • Collaboration.
  • Reporting is almost non-existent.
  • No dashboards unless you integrate with a third-party tool.
  • Confusing for some users familiar with traditional project management tools.
  • Much easier to manage tasks.
  • Easy ability to see what everyone on the team is working on.
  • Lacks reporting.
We were huge fans of Clarizen back in the bad old days of waterfall methodology. Clarizen definitely had more robust reporting capabilities, where Trello is completely lacking in resource and financial management capabilities and even basic dashboarding. That said, for simple day-to-day task management, Trello is a user-friendly and capable system.
We've had little interaction with the support team, but when we have initiated tickets, response was prompt and friendly.

Do you think Trello delivers good value for the price?

Did Trello live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Trello go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Trello again?

Yes

Trello is excellent for small to mid-size teams that need simple project collaboration and day-to-day task management. If you're looking for a robust project management platform with resource management, Gantt charts, and robust reporting/dashboards, you will, however, be disappointed.
