Hello everyone. I have a small startup, and since my team’s grown more than five people, I want to make communication better, to make all the processes clear and visible for each member.

Positive argument for “Trello”

Easy to use

9

The main advantage of Trello over other popular project management systems is its simplicity. The visual representation of the tasks allows you to visualize the entire project, developed according to the agile methodology, and easily organize teamwork. With Trello, it is possible to deploy a new project board in minutes and customize it with existing features and applications. Trello boards, cards, and lists meet the diverse requirements of tasks ranging from personal cases to large business or startup projects. The intuitive interface helps you get started right away on the project you just created, avoiding unnecessary clicks and keeping your attention focused on what's happening right now. And thanks to color cues, it's always possible to separate some tasks from others.

Cheap

Trello offers three pricing plans for its users: free, Business Class, and Enterprise. Trello prices start at $10 for the Business Class plan. So you can select the right plan for your small or medium-sized business. In addition, if you have a small team or startup, you can choose the free plan for life.

Freemium business model

6

Trello has another advantage for its users - the freemium business model. With this model, you can save money, which is very important for small companies and startups owners. You can use the free version of the product and expand the existing Trello functionality for an additional fee. In this case, you acquire the ability to add images to board cards, merge multiple tasks into a list, and use color stickers and progress tracks when completing a project

There’s no Gantt Chart

8

A large number of users often miss such a simple but still necessary feature as the Gantt chart when working in Trello. Visual task scheduling with this type of chart is a must-have for managing projects of any size. To solve this problem, you have to resort to the help of a third-party plug-in, which must be integrated into the browser. There's no other way to get a much-needed tool in Trello

No complicated automations

13

Trello objectively has few integrations with various services such as messengers, Google Docs or CRM. The lack of such advanced functionality greatly affects the choice of the tool by large companies and projects. Trello also has difficulty when working with reports: they can only be sent to email. Unfortunately, other ways to save your reports aren’t available. All of this needs to be improved for the benefit of the end-user, who is in great need of such features

Flexibility

10

If we look at Jira from a developer's point of view, it is very flexible. This platform is a convenient tool with fine-tuning and a huge number of functions for project management. With the help of Jira, it is possible to group the work, correct mistakes in advance, and calculate the performance of any team member. Today, Jira offers its users more than 100 applications for integration, allowing it to lead the market and bypass Trello

Accountability

8

One of the main features that sets Jira apart from other similar tools is its convenient reporting. The platform offers extensive information about any changes made by the user, tracing the entire history of a project, and examining the progress of a particular goal. With Jira, it’s possible to build a variety of diagrams, from the smallest to the most impressive and voluminous ones. Jira's comprehensive tools help you to structure the entire picture of a project and reflect the processes with the help of clear infographics.

Negative argument for “Jira”

Complicated

8

Jira's interface is hardly called easy from the point of view of the average user. With its screens, views, and functions, setting up Jira is very difficult for customers who don't have a lot of technical knowledge. This tool isn’t designed for beginners. However, for developers, Jira is a unique tool that can be customized for any business, project, or company. But for others, Jira has a too heavy interface, overloaded with elements, which makes it very difficult to use. Also, when you customize Jira's settings, you can't be sure that there won't be a system failure or serious error due to incorrect changes made in the future

Expensive

8

Using Jira for teams of more than 10 people isn’t very cost-effective. For teams with fewer than 10 people, they offer to use Jira for free. For all other customers, the initial price is $7 per user (on the Standard plan) and higher. Jira tariff plans depend on the number of users you plan to add, if you have more than 10 people, then you have to choose from 3 tariffs - Standard, Premium, or Enterprise. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have to pay a lot of money for the use of the platform's tools
