Overall Satisfaction with Trello

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Trello for my project Management. I have one team working remotely that handles my sales and marketing whereas I handle the development team inhouse. So collaboration between sales and development and management of project with clear communication involves Trello and tracking the project status with daily updates. It also helps me in resource management as well.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Project Management
Resource Management
Collaboration

Cons

Trello Lacks comprehensive reporting. Even with Paid features these things are missing
Trello needs to cover the dependencies on complex projects
Updates part works as comments they just need to be a bit better over there (Recommendation only. Not that its wrong)
The new feature of marking a project and completed is weird. Since we can just move the card to done. Tracking just a tick mark is never a requirement

Return on Investment

It takes my project management to next level and I can just focus on other things not just Project Management.
It lets me automate things. Just require little bit of my time and if I play the cards right I can take of this as well.
The mobile app is just awesome and works exactly like desktop.

Usability

All it takes is to type your update checkmark your checklist and move the card with your mouse. It's not hard even for a nontechy person.

Alternatives Considered

Slack, Asana and ClickUp

Asana is awesome but it comes with a price. For a startup pricing hurts. ClickUp is so vast and has a lot of areas to get lost in, if you don't set some standards there are many ways to do it wrong. Slack is just a communication platform, you can collaborate and stuff but not like Trello.

Likelihood to Recommend

For me, I like the notifications and arrangements of the lists part. I can easily track what is going on with which project. With basic Trello layout, I had to create some SOPs just so people on my team don't use it the wrong way, But it would be helpful if we can lock those SOPs down so there are no mistakes for the new users otherwise every new person is to be taught how to use it.
