We performed a comparison between monday.com and Trello based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Monday.com increases the transparency of project management and team management."
"The solution is easily scalable."
"The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners."
"The mobile application is an absolute breeze to work with."
"It has kept all our departments accountable and gives a quick birds-eye to see how projects are progressing."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"Being able to customize the boards to our needs as a dance studio with a smaller staff team has been very helpful."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is easy for users to start working with Trello because it has a user-friendly interface."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."
"All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
"The installation was extremely straightforward."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
"The data linkage could be improved. For example, sometimes you cannot automate item creation when you link different items to each other. You cannot connect the data deeply from field to field. It's somewhat complicated to link a contact to some account fields and automate the contact's behavior based on the value of those fields. The data is sometimes not structured enough for deep processing."
"As a new hire, it was a bit complex for me to learn and understand how to use Monday."
"I do wish that admins could edit everything, no matter who created a post/board/subitems, etc."
"The biggest thing that I have seen is that the automatic animations are sometimes delayed or slower."
"It would be great to have more options on the form for external use, and an easier exporting option for client answers (rather than copying and pasting from each section)."
"The solution could be improved by adding more plugins for Adobe (not just Photoshop) and adding a plugin for Discord."
"I would love to be able to have a chat option with Monday.com's IT so that if I'm looking to add a new view or experience to our planning boards, they could easily talk me through the best option."
"For others who have more varied assignments, some of which require collaboration with other team members, they might find Monday insufficient."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."
"It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."
"There aren't as many tracking tools."
"It is not a scalable product."

This is a good question, but the starting point would be to understand whether your focus is on project management software or portfolio management software because there is a big difference between the two.
In terms of software, project management software is really focused on managing individual projects and can help communicate information about a specific project. Project management software is commonly used by Project Managers and the project team members. Portfolio management software though is focused on the entire portfolio of projects to give senior leaders holistic visibility of those projects. Portfolio management software helps senior leaders to make better strategic decisions. Check out this article for more information on this topic: https://acuityppm.com/project-...
Hi Netanya, for complez projects I recommend Basecamp or Microsoft Project, but for small or low complexity projects I suggest Trello. Best regards.
Hi Netanya,
Trello is a simple and effective project management tool that is easy to use and has a variety of features that can help you manage your projects effectively. Asana is a more comprehensive project management tool that has more features and is more complex to use. Monday.com is a project management tool that is designed to be used by teams, and has features that allow for collaboration and communication within teams.
But, I would recommend Trello, because it is a simple and effective project management tool. It is easy to use and has a variety of features that can help you manage your projects effectively.
Hi Netanya,
If you want to reach a quick-wins at the portfolio level with an intelligent algorithmic and automated approach please look at my favourite tool called Aangine.
It gives you capabilities to run multiple What-if scenarios at the portfolio level, considering various constraints on capacity, budgets, timing and prioritization. It helps PMOs/SPMs very quickly to perform risk & value analysis and run impacts analysis to see what happens if suddenly priorities/capacity/budget will be changed. Visibility on future horizons, possibly bottlenecks and risks gives you the opportunity to compare and run an intelligent algorithm to optimise your future portfolio within a new reality immediately. As an outcome, in the first couple of quarters, you will get significant results on your execution side of the way of working.
Regarding the execution part of the delivery for the corporate customers, I would recommend Micro Focus PPM review.
Kind regards,
I. Bayraktar
I’ve used Trello, Asana, and Monday.com.
My favorite by far is ClickUp due to following reasons:
1. It’s inexpensive.
2. Support is great.
3. Very flexible - we do sprints with points and it’s great for this.
4. They are constantly launching new improvements.
5. Most important - my team loves ClickUp and actually uses it! We particularly like the goals feature.
Jira is what we currently use and I have no complaints about it at all.
Since 1998 I have been using the Planisware project portfolio management solution for multiple pharma organizations.
The application initially had the esoteric name OPX2. For easier international name recognition, its name sensibly became Planisware in 2009 with the release of P5. Subsequent releases of Planisware P5 and Planisware P6 (or V6) and currently Planisware Enterprise (E7) have brought substantive improvements to the stakeholder community in user interface, capabilities, reporting, and performance.
Planisware documentation has evolved markedly with more frequent publishing of detailed functional guides, videos, and release notes, available online for customers and from within the application. For example, the fifth set of release notes for E7, specifically 7.0.4; March 2022, is 133 pages long. Planisware Academy is another tool for gaining proficiency with project and portfolio management.
What I especially enjoy with Planisware is unsurpassed flexibility for managing project activities--not just as list tables and Gantt charts, but also with Kanban cards, roadmaps, stage and gates, deliverables, ideas, etc. Modules for resource management and cost management have similar depth of execution. Another module for tracking risks and opportunities is selectable when needed.
Planisware's implementation of activity types as a discrete breakdown structure facilitates the use of consistent, defined activities across projects and improves the accuracy of planning.
Project templates and activity library features are valuable for creating new projects more efficiently.
Data visualization is another Planisware strongpoint. It's possible to make dynamic slide presentations of working projects.
Given the depth and breadth of Planisware modules and the software's overall capabilities, each corporate organization has to make a long-term commitment to adopting Planisware. Providing stakeholders the opportunity to gain needed proficiencies with Planisware is also essential for reaping the considerable benefits of using this fascinating enterprise solution.
I have experience with Asana. It's an easy-to-use and configure solution, especially for medium and non-complex plans.
