What do users say about Trello?

My favorite thing about Trello is how easy it is to use and how well it collaborates with the entire team, allowing me to tag somebody and use my whole platform to share with the team. I also love that it's very clean to look at. Like, the entire board is just very easily read. Visibility is beautiful. I can easily use the cards to create a flow. I can use due dates and color code the board to know what needs to be started, what's in progress, and what needs approval. Several tools like that in Trello just make it super visibly easy to use and to make a workflow. I integrate Trello with Front and Slack, which makes it super easy to keep all of my work through Trello, but on my different integrations and platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything other than onboarding taking a bit of time, but once you're in and understand the functions, it's super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Trello is its simplicity and flexibility. We used Trello as part of a MuleSoft integration to exchange task-related information between systems, and working with its REST APIs was straightforward. The API documentation was clear, which made it easier to create and update cards programmatically. On the user side, the board and card layout is clean and intuitive, so it was easy for both technical and non-technical team members to track work. Overall, it was reliable for managing tasks while also fitting well into our integration workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As projects grow, boards can become a bit cluttered and harder to manage. Some advanced features are only available in paid plans, and while the APIs are easy to use, handling synchronization in integrations can take some extra effort. 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.

I like using Trello because it just does what I need it to do, without being super complicated. The three columns for organizing prospects, work in progress, and finished projects are perfect for me. I've been using Trello for over eight years, and even though other teams prefer tools like Monday or HubSpot, Trello remains my go-to. I also found the initial setup super easy, allowing me to visualize all the moving parts in my projects effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a dashboard that is responsive to voice command. 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.

It's visual and dead simple — anyone can understand a board in 30 seconds, which matters when collaborators aren't tech people. Assigning tasks, setting due dates, and commenting on cards keeps everything in one place instead of scattered across texts and emails. The mobile app is solid for checking status on the go.

Once a board gets big, it can feel cluttered — there's no great bird's-eye reporting without paid add-ons. Automation and integrations mostly live behind the paywall, so power users hit the ceiling fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Trello's very simplistic and easy-to-use UI. It's easy to learn automations with Trello, and I was able to quickly teach other employees how to use the automations and build out boards. Trello is very intuitive software that allows for straightforward automation. The setup process was very easy and took very little time, which made the rollout go a lot quicker for our team.

I think the overall capabilities of Trello lack compared to other project management software. The file management specifically can get a little wonky, and having ownership within sub-tasks gets a bit difficult. It's also not conducive to larger projects, so for big projects, we prefer using something that's more like a spreadsheet format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
