Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time
Pros and Cons
- "Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."
- "There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The ability to move cards between boards is really helpful, as well as the labels. The ability to tag different team members in both the description and the comments, and the due dates feature are handy. We are able to customize the labels, both the text and the color, so when looking at a board, we can easily filter or see cards related to specific tasks or team members. This functionality really streamlines using Trello. Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy.
What needs improvement?
There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Trello for probably ten or eleven years now.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is fine for our organization.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used something very outdated in comparison to Trello. I don't remember what it was called, maybe something like Bug Tracker, but I'm really not sure.
How was the initial setup?
It was so long ago I don't remember, but I think it was fairly straightforward. I think we also migrated some tasks or tickets from a previous solution.
What was our ROI?
It saves us time. Sometimes we can have a back-and-forth conversation in the comments, which helps minimize some meetings.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend testing it out. Trello has a free version, which is a really easy way to get started. It's simple to use, easy to add team members or even external consultants. I would rate Trello an eight overall. Trello is good for what we need. It is not too complex, but it has a decent amount of features that we take advantage of. Every solution has room for improvement, which is why I didn't give it a nine or ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
