Teamwork.com vs Trello: Which is a better fit?

Blake: Hi, I'm Blake. I work as a program manager. We have about 56 people that work for our company. And I would rate Teamwork at a three out of five. Prior to Teamwork, we chose to go with Trello. We had it for a while. And it was a great program, but it didn't really have as many features as we needed as we were experiencing growth. We chose Teamwork because of the robust amount of features that it had. It offered a lot of different views for projects, and the task management tools were really good for it. We really also enjoyed the reporting structure that came along with it, as well as the financial side of it when it comes to projects management. We also really enjoyed the fact that de-collaboration was easy for Teamwork. Getting started with Teamwork wasn't very difficult at times, but we did have an issue with massive amounts of people trying to [inaudible 00:00:52] at one time. It was a little confusing. It was a little bit bogged down. The program was very large, so it seemed over stifled. Teamwork was a little bit messy for us. It was a struggle for our onboarding team to work with them as their supports team was a really great. They didn't get back with us in time on a lot of things, so we missed out on a lot of opportunities with them. We also had issues with the bugs with the system. There were a lot of technical issues that came along with Teamwork. The Gantt chart, which is what we primarily use for our project management, was terrible when it came to bugs, and it unfortunately made our projects late and our tasks off queue. And the collaboration was good, but the collaboration was buggy, so it was also a little bit lax and lagging behind, which caused us to eventually decide to go against Teamwork and move towards ClickUp. Which we have actually been using now for over three years, and we really ClickUp. It is definitely a program that's customizable and it's also very neat to interface. I would definitely recommend not using Teamwork if you are planning on growing or if you're in the process of a lot growth. Teamwork is definitely made for enterprise clients.

Xavier: Hi, my name is Xavier. I'm the founder of Mixtons, and I would rate Trello a 5 out of 5. So prior to Trello, we were using monday.com, and I found that it was actually too convoluted and too confusing to try and integrate with the team. So Trello, being a simple Kanban, was far easier for our team to understand, and therefore we decided to implement it across the board. We chose Trello, A, because it was free to begin with, which obviously made it much more appealing for us as a team, as a small business. But secondly, just how simple it was. It's probably the simplest of all the platforms. And you do have very simple integrations that you can have. So for us, it just made sense given our size and scale. The biggest perk of Trello is just how simple the whole thing is. A couple of YouTube tutorials can make you easily understand how to set it all up. And given how customizable all the Kanban boards are, you can have different ones for operations, sales, marketing, et cetera. So it was very simple to implement. So the biggest piece of advice I'd have for someone integrating Trello is to make sure that you have each of your pillars of the business set up in different boards, making sure that everything is trackable, but also that if you do have a premium account, which I would recommend, that you utilize the Power-Ups because they can be a little bit hidden, but once you discover them, they're actually very useful.
