A cost-effective project management tool that can be deployed in a very less time-frame
I have been using it for the last eight years overall, the applications, and they've come a long way now. It's really good and intuitive at this stage. However, I still feel that they could do a little bit more in terms of application integrations, like the third-party ones. That could be useful. There are a bunch of its integrations with third parties, but probably a little more would be better. The telephone support provided by the support team should become better. Regarding adding features or functions to Zoho projects, I think I would add more reporting tools to the solution. Some of the default reports in Zoho Projects are obviously useful, but I would like to add some more analytics based on all the activities taking place in Zoho Projects. I would prefer to build my own custom report and all those sorts of things.

"The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need."
"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 Trello board is very intuitive and simple to comprehend."
"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around the mobile version of the product that was easy to use."
"The solution is great for project management."
"I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"The product is very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"Trello was available as a standalone version that does not allow you to collaborate with other people."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Trello has become complex over the years."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
"The mobile version of Trello can be improved upon."
"Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues."
"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"It is not easy to drag and drop a task from one person to the other. I think the resolution for the issue is work in progress. The product's stability can be improved."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
"The solution pricing is okay. The pricing is subscription-based and depends on the features that you need. If you need more features then you will need to pay more. You can use the basic features to lead your project management."

"The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
"We pay $10 per user per month for the product."

"The product is cheap."
"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."
"The solution is cheap."
