The solution is easy to set up, extremely stable, and is available on multiple devices

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very easy to use."
"Kanban is the best feature of the tool."
"Trello is very easy to install and set up. It is also easy to use. Its interface is excellent."
"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."
"Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."
"The product has a lot of integrations."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature."
"We can customize the tool."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
 

Cons

"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."
"The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."
"Trello wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them."
"Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists."
"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 basic reports could be improved in Zoho Projects."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"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."
"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"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."
"Trello has a really good price."
"The product is cheap."
"I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
"I am tinkering with the free version."
"The solution is cheap."
"The product is fairly priced."
"The product has different pricing models for different regions."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."
