Microsoft Planner vs Trello: Which is best for you?

Microsoft Planner is a hidden gem, it's completely in the cloud, so you can take it anywhere and is a great tool for personal use or for businesses to keep track of things. But where it really starts to shine is with the ability to automate tasks - in conjunction with Microsoft Forms and Power Automate, you can have different teams or customers fill in a form, which then populates Planner with tasks.

It becomes a little challenging on this especially if you want to customize certain things for your projects's workflow which you will eventually have to find a way around, but that is my concern.

I love the automations, allowing me to renew weekly/monthly tasks where I can set the target dates to recur in a week, one month etc.

Trello lacks any kind of admin priveleges, user restrictions or any kind of board management options, and while that’s great for simplicity and flexibility it can lead to accidental deletion and data loss in collaborative environments.
