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.

Have never engaged with Trello's customer service team or help tools.
Pros
Ease of use, editablity, document integration (eg. google docs/sheets, websites, etc.) simple and straightforward functionality with ability to add on layers of details/ complexity as needed (eg. sub-checklists, tags, collaboration tools)
Cons
While that is an overall strength of Trello, especially for everyday tasks, I don't find it as useful for sophisticated project planning or projects that involve dynamic team collaboration and multiple deadlines.

Easy and effective project tracking and task management.

Trello manages to show a lot more cards and projects in the same amount of space without feeling cluttered.

There could be a few more built-in integrations without the need of third-party plugins, like viewing card numbers and integration with sites like Github.
