Offers not just a free version but also a mobile version that is easy to use
The product has features to support project management workflows and team collaborations. I was using a free version for my personal use and for managing my private activities, and both times, I saw that the tool did the job. I used Trello's board and card system of training with Kanban task management format to handle work in progress and to see whether it has already been completed. I would say that the tool was decent in the aforementioned area. I used the product's mobile version and the handheld device version, and I can say that it was easy to use. In general, the tool's app was quite easy to use. It is definitely a product which is quite highly rated by others. The mobile application functionality affected my productivity in a good way. It is quite good because, if I remember correctly, I could set some reminders for pending tasks. The tool did improve my productivity. The tool did help me deal with my personal backlog and to-do activities. As a beginner-level user, I found the tool very helpful and intuitive. From my friends, I came to know that it is an application that can be used in a wide enterprise setup. If you have an option, you can try it. I rate the overall tool a nine to ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We just put all the data into one place and hopefully, after we have accurate data, we can make more decisions based on real data rather than gut feeling."
"It makes the whole lifecycle of project management a lot easier than using the legacy systems, which we are retiring every few months because of PPM."
"It is very stable. We are on demand. With on demand, those guys keep it running."
"The solution is technically fine and user friendly."
"I enjoy the Risks/Issues section.I use that to raise things before they happen."
"What has been valuable are the workflows that are there today in order to keep our executive staff informed as well as our program managers and department managers."
"It makes it easier to compare different opportunities, and to track the metrics though the process. It helps us make better choices of which opportunities to go after and not go after."
"Value streams, investment cases, road mapping, and fast destinations. These are the ones we use to manage stuff."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
"The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards."
"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."
"It is easy for users to start working with Trello because it has a user-friendly interface."
"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
 

Cons

"The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"In terms of what could be improved, the end user interface could be improved to be more intuitive, because we sometimes have issues with customization. Sometimes we are not able to customize everything for the end user's interface, and they require more customization. We should be able to perform a deeper customization here."
"Look and feel of the user experience."
"As far as a tool that communicates with resources, with individuals - what they're supposed to do next or what action items came out of what meeting - it's not really used that way. Probably I could envision a way that it would be used that way. Until it's as easy as sending an email, it probably won't be utilized by the resources in that manner."
"The risks issues and changes are not in the new UX yet."
"The look and the feel of 14.4 is a bit antiquated."
"Build more capability and unification into the reporting.​"
"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."
"Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists."
"Trello could improve from a UI and UX standpoint and should consider adding enhanced functionality from a release management standpoint."
"In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information."
"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."
"The mobile version of Trello can be improved upon."
"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
"Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, the tool is very expensive and some tools might be able to cater to 80% of the functionality provided by Broadcom Clarity PPM but are not as expensive."
"It is a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
"The subscription is not that expensive."
"The price point of Broadcom Clarity PPM is less than Planisware. If a customer comes to me, and the cost is the main parameter for the selection of a tool, then I'll recommend Broadcom because cost-wise, they are less than other solutions."
"For all the functionalities of the solution, the price is in the market range, since it is a product which offers governance issues and supports the digital transformation, which is where we will go in the next year."
"We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
"In recent times, I have been involved in the purchase of the license for this solution. However, the process of procurement changed and the option to buy individual licenses was no more available. The new subscription model was introduced, as a followed-up trend in the industry. The subscription costs put us in shock because it was double what we paid in the past as the yearly maintenance. We negotiated and the price was dropped. But this incident made me observe a lack of transparency from Broadcom in terms of licensing expenses. This isn't unique to Broadcom but seems to be a broader industry issue."
"The price of Broadcom Clarity PPM is reasonable. My customers pay a license to use this solution on an annual basis."
"It is free."
"The pricing starts from around $6 per license for a subscription, and there might be higher subscriptions available, possibly around $12 per month."
"Trello has a really good price."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"I am tinkering with the free version."
"Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
