project management, agile team, increased productivity, increased collaboration- especially for remote teams.
Pros
Trello is incredibly simple, and easy to use. The UI is beautiful and the tool does everything I need it to do.
Cons
The only reason we are looking at alternatives after three years is because our organization has grown tremendously so we are looking for a more complex project management solution to track things like task time, and make it easier to reference spreadsheets and project plans within the project or task cards.

Pros
Limited use past a virtual kanban/WIP board, it's good to track progress on a project but stops there.
Cons
Too simple to track overall project status, needs to add the ability format into several views (maybe add a task & Gantt chart view?).

Easy task tracking and project management.
Pros
The UI was easy to interact with and the information was clearly displayed on the screen.
Cons
Honestly there's not much to dislike. I suppose it would be appreciated if you got more free powerups to connect to different services, or if the Saleforce one was free. However, for what we used it for, Trello met and exceeded our expectations.

Not much. Third party integrations do not work perfectly sometimes, but not in a critical way, just some UI issues.

Quick task tracking and iteration
Pros
Trello really excels when you need to keep track of things that represent a subset of major work: team to-do list for next week (like action-items from a meeting), working a specific task and want to keep track of arising questions, etc.
Cons
While you can def track a project with Trello, there are far more powerful tools out there that provide better insights.

Trello also serves as a reminder in our tasks to be executed to a certain schedule.
Pros
I really like the drag-and-drop of cards as it like really a traditional board but much better.
Cons
I would just like to suggest the developers of Trello to add visual representations like Gantt charts, calendars and graphs.

It's a great tool for organizing from professional to personal tasks and to collaborate with teams.
Pros
Also, I really like the ability to collaborate with teams, making annotations in the cards, tagging with different labels and even making checklists of things inside every task.
Cons
I understand the tool is for Kanban boards but it would be nice to have Gantt Charts in order to see the timeline of a project.

Team organization and ability to track task progress.
Pros
Can attach images, files, checkboxes, and comments to each "card" activity to understand how progress is being made towards goals.
Cons
Cards can stack up vertically and horizontally, I don't really like the horizontal scroll, would be nice to be bale to condense certain columns.

More efficient/better tracked communication than email; powerful task management.
Pros
The notification system is great and the keyboard shortcuts make working quickly and efficiently a breeze.
Cons
If the dashboard were to add this feature it would be my go-to; however, because I found myself to far spread out over multiple boards without overview capacity I ended up trying other software (Favro; MeisterTask).
