Considered Both Products
ProProfs Project
Chose ProProfs Project
We use Asana and Project Bubble for different project tracking. ProProfs Project is our media/marketing manager's favorite software and has been great for communicating across state lines. I have found pros and cons for each of the software we use for project tracking. …
Chose ProProfs Project
I think Project Bubble is way more streamlined than the others mentioned, as well as way more cost-effective! It is simple enough for my clients to access and keep track of their status, without having to explain or train them in the process. For value of money, customer …

Chose Trello
Our business ended up using Monday due to the holistic nature of the tool. It allows us to collaborate amongst teams and see the project as a whole easier. Trello is for personal usage and task management. I use Monday to organize my overarching needs, and then put specific …
Chose Trello
I don't feel that Trello stacks up to these other tools as well. I used to use Trello much more in the past and, over the last 5 years, have consistently used it less and less because it is easier to stay within the workflow of the tools I listed above.
Chose Trello
Okay, I have to say that at the organization where I work, we completely switched from Trello to Monday.com, and it wasn't an easy decision. As I've mentioned throughout this review, I think Trello works perfectly for small and medium-sized businesses and/or entrepreneurs …
Chose Trello
We actually use both in our company. I personally prefer Slack just because I feel like it gives me more avenues of communication with my peers and coworkers then Trello does.
However, Slack would fail to meet our business requirements for what we need to succeed with new …
Chose Trello
Ease of adaption for small startups.
Chose Trello
Trello is more visual than Todoist and MS To Do. For me, the major advantage of Trello is its functionality around creating Kanban Boards—there is not the same flexibility or options in either of the other two products. I was also able to seek advice from colleagues who were …
Chose Trello
Asana is awesome but it comes with a price. For a startup pricing hurts. ClickUp is so vast and has a lot of areas to get lost in, if you don't set some standards there are many ways to do it wrong. Slack is just a communication platform, you can collaborate and stuff but not …
Chose Trello
Trello is more simple and not as "robust" as the other tools, but it's easier to use and manage and understand and ACTUALLY get stuff done with. It's simplicity is part of the beauty of using it. You don't need a million options that nobody uses, you just need to get stuff done.
Chose Trello
We found that those software, while they included Kanban boards, offered a lot more features. Our tickets tended to get lost and it was harder to navigate through. Our Product team didn't particularly like how they functioned as much.
Chose Trello
Trello won becuase of the easy drag and drop feature that makes it simple for team members to jump on and use from day one. That said, Asans has way more features and for a tech-savvy person it would be the choice; it is still user-friendly. While it has a steeper learning …
Chose Trello
Trello provides precise goal setting, targets, and activity tracking with minimal human intervention, while Trello provides tags and tasks to add users and communicate visual task organization. Trello also offers real-time updates, team collaboration, and project progress …
Chose Trello
Easier to use and easier to integrate with 3rd party software. Better design and we don't need to build everything from scratch.
Chose Trello
For our purposes and my role in the business, Trello is simpler and easier to use. I found Jira very hard to navigate to individual projects, and the process of creating a card was very time-consuming. That said, I think Jira performs a number of roles that Trello doesn't, and …
Chose Trello
Trello offers wide range of features even for free users which other vendors rarely offers.
Chose Trello
I have been able to use the free version of Trello for many years and for the free version, this platform offers incredible value. I have not yet found such value in other free versions of similar platforms. This platform is also very easy to use as a first time user.
Chose Trello
Trello is more in-depth and task-driven, whereas 15Five is more accountable and has personal weekly goals and accomplishments. Trello can be divided up to allow others to do the listed task, and all employees work together to accomplish and complete each required ticket/card …
Chose Trello
We are still transitioning into using Trello but used ActiveCollab in the past for our website management and projects. I do like the layout of Trello better and feel that the notifications work well.
Chose Trello
I also use Whatsapp chat as a task management tool. Whatsapp group chat is very convenient for assigning tasks and making follow-ups. Trello currently lacks here. Whatsapp chat is also way more handy and user-friendly than Trello, because of its better interface and engagement. …

Atlassian Jira Align (formerly AgileCraft)
Chose Trello
Trello offers more functionality and features for use before forcing you to purchase.
Chose Trello
Trello is convenient for tasks management of the team, there are columns, additional tools, and integrations. Regular to-do lists are better to add routine tasks that you need to do daily. In Trello, It is convenient to add small projects or add smaller tasks for a big project …
Chose Trello
Trello is better than Gitlab CI and other tools because it provides a very simple way of managing project with just lists and draggable components. Also, thanks to Mobile version, it is really easy for a team lead to manage his projects at anytime of a day. So I widely …
Chose Trello
Trello has a better and easy UI, very quick learning curve. Flexibility to add plugins.
Chose Trello
Trello looked very simple to use compared to others. And basic features mostly suffice the requirement.

Trello is great for cross-team communication and intra-team organization. It's simple to get setup, with flexible tools that give businesses control over how to make Trello work the best for them. It is an amazing platform for operations tracking, project management, and even organizing customer service requests for a smaller business.

Pros
  • I needed a project management software that had client access, ability to comment, percent-complete tracking, and email integration.
  • The mobile app is a big part of what has improved in the last year and why I have decided to stick with it ultimately. Many others I've decided do not have apps on the marketplace, which is a big hindrance, in my opinion.
  • Invoicing and tracking expenses is a huge plus.
  • White Labeling - I can customize the system with my own logo

  • Helps track employees "to do before hire", "to do after hired," and "to do when employee leaves"
  • Provides important information on each employee like personal information along with data collected during the time of hire and during employment time
  • Allows more than one person to be assigned to a task per employee and will remain open until everyone involved has completed their task

Cons
  • Integration with third-party applications
  • The 15-day trial period of the tool seems a bit short to completely grasp the efficancy of the tool

  • I use colour coding a lot so I would like a wider range of colour options.
  • Also as a visual thinker I would like to be able to easily add images to cards.
  • I would like to be able to attach a wider range of file formats to cards.

I am very likely to renew Trello, because it doesn't cost anything to do so. I am also very likely to use Trello's upgraded features in the future because a lot of my team's data is stored on there and they have already gotten used to the platform. Trello is very easy for new team members to pick up, making the onboarding and usability very streamlined.

Usability

I am technology illiterate, it's my Achilles heel and this program is so easy to use. I have been utilizing it for a decade now. It makes organizing and prioritizing my life, my work, my business, my kids life, etc so much more manageable and without having to hold on to a bunch of into in my head. I can find it and locate it quickly and easily in Trello.

I personally have not had to contact ProProfs Project Customer Support. I know that our media / marketing manager has used this tool for a while and is very comfortable with it. He has never expressed any issues or frustrations that I know of. The product is simple and easy to use and does not seem to require much support.

I haven't had much need to contact their support because the product is easy to use and pretty bug-free. I did reach out to them about swimlanes and I was able to find the information I needed very quickly and it was thorough and accurate information about current functionality. I love that they use their own product. That's always a good sign.

For our small business, getting a few of us started well on Trello was the key, I think. As long as a couple of us were really comfortable with the interface, we could lead others and help them with any questions. From now on, anyone who works with us just naturally uses Trello for information sharing - it's just part of what we do.

  • It's been an essential tool for our onboarding team. We wouldn't be able to operate without it.
  • It's been a very affordable investment for our team as well since we still use the free version.
  • We have had a negative return in the fact that there aren't any reporting tools within the app. We have to spend time tracking certain elements manually.
