GlassFrog vs Trello: Which is a better fit?

Marnie J.: My name is Marnie. I'm a co-executive director in a nonprofit, and I give GlassFrog five stars. Before we found GlassFrog, my team used Smartsheet, Google Sheets, and Excel to track our roles and accountabilities. But none of those tools are suited to a context where people are using Holacracy to organize their work. My team chose GlassFrog after we had adopted Holacracy and we were looking for a tool that would support us in our practices. We adopted GlassFrog after trying to use other ways of tracking our work, and it vastly exceeded our expectations and really supported all of our ways of working together in Holocracy. When we adopted GlassFrog, it was very intuitive and easy to use. We encountered supportive tech support, and we also found that the publishing of Holocracy habits by HolacracyOne really supported us in using the tool more effectively. I found that for myself and for other team members whose roles were primarily oriented around desk jobs and computer use, it was extremely easy to rely on GlassFrog for much of our day-to-day work. For team members whose roles tend to be more physical, away from their desks, there's less day to day use of GlassFrog, but nonetheless GlassFrog is still a very important part of their work life because it supports them in meetings. And especially in having the wealth facilitated governance and tactical meeting format that is useful for all team members regardless of the nature of our roles. My organization practiced holocracy without the support of GlassFrog for some time before we found this product. And I'm so glad we adopted GlassFrog and started using it in our team. I find that the way we work together is so much smoother and more effective now that we have this tool. If anyone is practicing holacracy without the supportive GlassFrog, I highly recommend adding this product it's well worth the cost and it supports the team and supports the people and the work.

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.
