"The scalability is unlimited."
"We use less paper thanks to this product."
"All of the features are valuable. Especially, creating tickets for projects and assigning workers. Having trackable conversations and archive items for reference. We offer our customers a live update of their project by sharing a board directly with them. This allows them to comment or submit documents directly to Monday.com."
"The product is quite simple to use."
"We use also integration with Jira, to see the updates so the CSM team can see the update from Jira."
"It has allowed our small team of five to deliver more projects on time and with quality as well as instill trust with clients that their projects do not fall through the cracks."
"It works perfectly and runs very smoothly."
"Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."

"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"Sometimes the limit of parts on a board (500 units) can inhibit growth."
"A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of... If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference."
"We'd like to see cross-board automation."
"When replying to colleagues, it would be useful to see the formatting options (bold, bullets, etc.)."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
"It would be ideal if, when you are assigned a task, to somehow link it with your calendar on Outlook or Gmail."
"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."
"Trello was available as a standalone version that does not allow you to collaborate with other people."
"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."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."
"Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms."

"Pricing can be improved."

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.
