Pros

“I can set up boards per project, assign tasks to site managers, set deadlines, and add checklists for material procurement.”
RS

Ricky S.

VP World Class Maintenance Maintenance and Reliability

“The ability to customize boards, add references, attach files, and collaborate with team members makes it easier to maintain a smooth workflow across different stages of product design.”
BH

Braden H.

Senior Product Designer

“It helps create a structured workflow where engineers can track priorities, collaborate with teammates, and stay aligned with project goals. While it may not replace specialized engineering management platforms, Trello remains a reliable tool for managing everyday software development activities and improving team productivity.”
VF

Vincenza F.

Software Engineer

Pros

“it needs to have a built in form feature to capture requests.”
JG

Jorge G.

Creative Director

“I started using it in a multimedia company I worked for, and in 2012 I implemented AC in my current job.”
JG

Jorge G.

Creative Director

“There's a few things I wish it could do but they're creature comforts not missing features.”
CF

Chuck F.

Project Manager

Cons

“The built-in facilities, like reporting and automations (Butler) are fine for basic tasks, but if you want to look at high-level portfolio views, resource allocation, or complex dependency mapping, Trello starts to feel a bit too lightweight.”
MC

Mantesh C.

Assistant Digital Marketing Manager

“The built-in reporting options are fairly limited unless you rely on external Power-Ups. When projects grow massive, the boards can start to feel cluttered, and customer support response times can be slow on the standard tier.”

Shyam K.

Developer

“I was logged out frequently, and sometimes my email account was not recoverable. Since it is paired under the "Atlassian" brands, their customer service was unable to resolve my issue and I had to recreate accounts, boards, and projects.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Kaleb V.

Clinic Director

Cons

“The Self-Hosted version lags far behind ActiveCollab 8.”
JW

John W.

General Manager

“While comprehensive, the limited third-party integrations may hinder seamless workflow connections.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Maria R.

Architect

“I lack anything that is detestable with ActiveCollab as it meets all my requirements and needs.”
