Use Todoist as your own personal task manager and/or with your team to collaborate on projects and execute ambitious plans.
Trello is for teams of all sizes, for the creators and doers, and for those who take dreams to done. Trusted by millions, Trello powers teams all around the world.
With the many features, beautiful UI and even productivity strategies explained and supported in the app, it's fantastic.
There is one annoying feature that is turned on by default: it reminds you of your unfinished tasks every day. I ass tasks to remind myself whenever I need to, not every day.
The Kudos feature is amazing. And the report that you get at the end of every year showing all you did during the whole year is pretty cool as well.
Initially, it can be somewhat confusing to figure out how to use. It seems quite complicated and can be difficult to use efficiently.
Todoist helps the creative person whose ideas are all over the places. It helps to put it together and create a timeline to complete / convert those new creative ideas into tasks.
The main dislike I have is the collaboration. I don't have buy in from my family to integrate the software into my group.
The design is really great at promoting a sense of accomplishment when you mark something as done and this helps you keep going.
There are some features that are lacking such as inability to add details to your tasks, limited entries and even some basic features such as reminders are not available in the free version.
It can be great for documentation because of the comment structure and meta available for each card. It has some nice integrations with other software, too, like Bit Bucket.
I hate the way that they don't have a customer for Linux. I likewise hate that it's an electronic application that you must be online to utilize.
Overall I use it, I recommend it and I strongly believe you get a great deal for its price. Just try Trello and you will love it.
The task management system is bad and when the project gets to an operational phase, the performance of the team suffers.
Trello is extremely intuitive, fast, and beautiful. It has some of the best UI I have ever had the pleasure of using.
The fact that I cannot erased a card it's quite annoying sometimes. In addition to that, the fact that there is no side scroll with the mouse is a bit annoying as well.
I love how easy it was to just start using this software when compared to other more heavyweight alternatives. If you have a use case for just yourself or a team you will love Trello.
It can be exasperating typing a lengthy comment and losing everything because you exited or minimised the app.
Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm the founder and owner of WalletWin, an e-learning company, and I give Todoist 5 stars out of 5. Before I started using Todoist, I was all over the place with my to-do lists. I was using paper and pen and losing them. I was using Evernote and then forgetting to check it. I was all over the place. And finally I found Todoist. I chose Todoist and have stuck with it because it's all over the place. I've got the app on my computer, on my phone, on my watch, so I always have my to-do list available. It's easy to use, easy to check things off, especially when I'm out and about and I can just call it up on the watch and check off my item. It was incredibly easy to get started with Todoist, downloaded the app, I think created my account, and then just got started creating my lists and my items. It was very easy to figure out. I think it's a pretty intuitive interface that makes organizing my tasks nice and easy. If you're checking out Todoist, I'd say just go for it, download it. They've got a very nice, generous, free tier, so give it a shot maybe for a week or two. See how you like it, how it fits into your workflow, and it might just be a winner.
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.
