Trello Reviews & Product Details

I like that Trello is simple, visual, and flexible, making it easy to see what's going on without sifting through spreadsheets or calendars. We've been using a digital Trello board in our office for nearly a decade, and it's super easy for everyone. We organize tasks by assigning them to buckets, create lists and due dates, all within each tag. Being able to assign work to staff by simply dragging a client's tag under their name is very convenient. The integration with Google Docs is useful because we include critical dates and links within the tags, which makes it easy to access needed information. Transitioning from a physical whiteboard to a digital Trello board was smooth, and setting it up was much easier than I expected. Overall, Trello handles our day-to-day planning well, especially as our team works remotely and it helps us keep track of what everyone is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When Trello goes down, I'm lost with my work organization. I also don't see much reason to pay for Trello unless necessary to keep the board active. It would be better if Trello integrated more with Google Meet because now we have to share screens during calls to view the board. I'd like a Figma add-on for Trello to allow previews directly in Trello. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trello is the easiest way we've found to keep internal operations visible and moving. The board and card system is instantly intuitive — new team members pick it up in minutes with zero training. We use it to manage recurring workflows and day-to-day ops, and it keeps everyone on the same page without a lot of overhead. The automation features (Butler) have been a nice bonus for reducing repetitive manual steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For more complex projects with dependencies or timeline visibility, Trello starts to show its limits. It's a kanban tool at heart, so if you need Gantt-style planning you'll need to look elsewhere or use a Power-Up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple drag-and-drop board system, which makes task management very clear. I use boards and cards to track my daily work and moving tasks between stages takes just a second. The UI is clean, so I don’t feel confused even with multiple projects. It integrates well with tools like Slack and Google Drive, which keeps everything connected. Performance is smooth and works reliably even with many cards. The free plan is quite useful, so it gives good value without needing to upgrade immediately. Onboarding was very easy and I started using it without any learning curve. Overall, it helps me stay organized and manage tasks efficiently every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It becomes hard to manage when projects get large. When I have too many cards and lists, the board starts to feel cluttered and difficult to track. Also, the free plan has limits on advanced features like automation and views. I sometimes miss more structured task management options like detailed reporting. It works great for simple workflows, but for complex projects it can feel a bit limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trello is visual, you set it up in 30 seconds and everyone understands it at a glance without the need for training.

For a small team that doesn't want to complicate things, it's perfect, and on top of that, it's free for the basics, so you don't spend money until you really need it.

The integrations with Slack and email work well and you don't have to check every 5 minutes to see what's changed.

You can automate quite a bit with Butler and the Power-Ups connect you with other tools without costing much, although you have to get involved to see which ones work for you from all the options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you have many cards, the board becomes slow and the search doesn't work well, especially if you need reports or productivity metrics because Trello sometimes doesn't make it easy for you and you have to export or use third-party tools.

Notifications sometimes falter and you find out about important changes late.

We sometimes fall into the mistake of adding too many cards and it eventually becomes a digital "dump" that no one looks at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to see exactly where I am in the workflow pipeline, and it also makes it easier to hold team members accountable. The intuitive UI and drag and drop feature makes it more fun, easy and fast to work with moving through the pipeline or leaving important notes. This makes the user experience more appealing.

At first it used to be the learning curve but once you get used to it, it's fairly easy and intuitive. Knowing how to create decent cards that shows all the needed information can take a little bit of exploring which honestly, isn't that much of a time but once you do, you'll create beautiful cards which makes completing your tasks much more fun. It's been way easier nowadays with new updates and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Trello for what feels like forever—for personal projects, professional tasks, and everything in between. It’s still the easiest way to see what everyone is working on without having to constantly ask for updates. I really like the board layout because it’s so visual: you can simply drag a card from “Doing” to “Done” and call it finished. It’s also one of the few tools I didn’t have to explain to my team; they just “got it” immediately. Overall, it never feels heavy or complicated, which makes it a great way to stay organized without the software getting in the way of the actual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It starts to feel a bit messy once a project gets really big. When you’re dealing with hundreds of cards on a single board, it becomes hard to find what you’re looking for, and it doesn’t have the deeper reporting you get with larger tools. I also wish more of the "Power-Ups" were built-in features by default. Having to add a separate plugin just to get a simple calendar view or track time feels like an unnecessary extra step that really shouldn’t still be there in 2026.

This visual board and card system of Trello makes project management so easy to use that our team can easily see the state of each task by looking at the board without having to spend hours in long status meetings. The drag-and-drop interface and workflow customization have simplified the process of departmental assignment and tracking of work. The Power-Ups functionality has been one of the most prominent additions, which links Trello to such tools as Slack, Google Drive, and Jira to have everything under one roof.

Complex projects may get limiting in Trello, because the simple board and card design do not have inbuilt Gantt charts, time tracking and extensive reporting without third party Power-Ups. Its free plan is also very limiting, with a limit on the number of Power-Ups and automations that can be used, a factor that propels expanding teams to subscriptions much faster than anticipated.

I like how dead simple and visual it is. You don’t need a tutorial or a training session to get started. We’re trying to become agile champions, and in one of our departments we have columns for pipeline activities, user story ideas, the tasks backlog, and sprint tasks. Being able to see everything at a glance: from raw ideas to what we’re actively working on, saves so much back and forth. Moving cards from the tasks backlog into sprint tasks feels like real progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is basically nonexistent.You cant see how many tasks were completed last week. With our board tracking pipelines activities, user story ideas and sprint tasks i'd love to see something simple like "how many cads moved from backlog to sprint this week or stuff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we value most about Trello is how it lets us visually organize workflows across different teams in the newsroom. With boards, lists, and cards, we can lay out tasks in a clear, intuitive structure, which makes it easy to see progress at a glance.

We rely on Trello for a range of workflows—editorial planning, SEO tasks, video production, recurring work, and other project-specific initiatives—each set up in its own dedicated board. This setup helps teams collaborate smoothly while still keeping shared priorities visible across the organization. Overall, its simplicity makes it approachable for both editorial and non-technical staff, which is essential in a fast-paced media environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Trello is very intuitive to use, it can start to feel limiting when you’re managing more complex workflows or a large volume of tasks. As projects expand, boards can quickly become crowded, and it isn’t always easy to track dependencies or handle more advanced workflow needs in a clear, straightforward way.

Also, compared with more advanced project management tools, Trello doesn’t offer the same depth of reporting, automation, or workflow customization on its own. To get those capabilities, you typically have to rely on additional integrations or paid features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trello makes it easy to visualize our agency's entire workflow at a glance. The drag-and-drop cards keep project stages clear and organized for everyone on the team. It’s a straightforward way to track tasks without getting bogged down in complex menus. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The boards can get pretty cluttered when a project scales up or has too many moving parts. I also find the notification system a bit overwhelming if you don't spend time fine-tuning it. It sometimes lacks the deeper reporting features we need for more complex agency data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
