Online retrospective without the hassle
Facilitating a meaningful agile retrospective is challenging as it is, even more, when your teammates are working remotely. TeamRetro allows me to run an engaging meeting for everyone whether they are remote or co-located, focusing on the actions and conversations instead of technical difficulties.
PROSIt's easy to use and very intuitive for everyone, no matter their previous experience. It just encourages collaboration between people with every feature - from the customizable timer, grouping, voting, and comments. Built-in templates allow me to easily introduce new people to the challenge of facilitation and new retrospective techniques.
CONSI'd love to see some new options to share and download a summary of finished retrospective, like a jpeg with an overview of the whole brainstorming board. Currently, I can only download it as a pdf, which sometimes can split board overview into several pages.

Easy to use agile retrospective tool
I've greatly enjoyed using TeamRetro and find it a helpful way to facilitate retrospectives quickly. As I'm juggling four teams right now, it helps me to facilitate all of their needs right now. I like to mix my retros up, so I have to be creative at times to run a retrospective that is a little different from the TeamRetro format.
PROSTeamRetro allows for fast and easy managing of retrospective activities. I like how easy it is to create an activity, message a link out to all participants, and track actions identified during the retrospective. The summary page it creates at the end of the retro is very helpful to remind participants what happened and the new actions for the team.
CONSTeamRetro does prescribe a particular activity set that starts with ideas, then grouping, then voting, and then discussion. If you have a different retro concept in mind, it will force you to get creative. I've had to create multiple retrospectives and link each one to the team if I want to do something that deviates from TeamRetro's norm.
Reason for choosing TeamRetro
I found TeamRetro more user friendly at the time of purchase over Retrium. I actually still use Metro Retro, but it is currently a free product. I may reconsider my stance once the paid version of Metro Retro is released.

Making our retros better, funnier, and easier than ever
Facilitating retrospectives and team health are two key and recurrent events on our company, and since we switched to TeamRetro all our users are really happy doing it, and they just focus on the process always feeling supported by the tool.
PROSThe UX is just great, and makes it really natural and intuitive, with all the steps involved on the retro are fantastic and fully supported with timers, voting, grouping, presentation mode, summary, actions, etc.In this way, any user could facilite a retro without training, and the features, and flexibility allows each team to perform them in its own way.
CONSAlthough it is super easy to export the results of a retro to files like excel and PDF, or directly to publish it into Confluence, there is a room of improvement to customize them in a way that allow us to collect the information as we need it.
Reasons for switching to TeamRetro
Trello is great for task management with the kanban board, but a lot of the retro stuff should be done ad-hoc on top of it, which is not ideal and require extra effort to the facilitator, and some times is quite counterintuitive.
Vendor Response

Awesome Retro Facilitator
There is no other product on the market that delivers this number of features at this level of quality at this price. It is extremely valuable for a remote teams, but we also found value using it for in person retros for its organization, anonymous capabilities, and reporting.
PROSGuided retro experience Anonymous users, topics, and voting Agile on the fly retro configuration Great reporting Also includes a nifty survey module
CONSUI can be a bit quirky, but once you get it setup the way you want it, or just use it a couple times it is fluid.
Reason for choosing TeamRetro
Features and price were superior to all other offerings.

Easy to use and Engage Teams in Retrospectives
A very positive experience that I have now come to rely on Team Retro to be able to monitor and keep engagement on multiple Engineering Teams.
PROSEasy to use and keep a pulse on multiple teams. Allows to create actionable follow-up items that are implementable as well as creating a safe space to allow all team members to engage and participate. The variety of options and health checks has had positive feedback from the teams to ensure retrospectives to not always follow the same monotony. The teams enjoy doing the Health Checks every few months sna dthe results have led to positive changes and improvements from management teams
CONSAlthough a little expensive, the ease of use and manageability of the different action points for the teams balances out this point for me

Great Tool for Retrospectives and Health Checks
I really like the templating possibility and the flow of retrospectives and health checks. Moreover the historical data and the extraction of files in different format is also great
CONSSometimes I would like to have more flexibility in the formatting of retrospective pages, if there are too many columns it gets tricky

Amazing simple tool for retrospectives
Simple but effective tool. We use it also to brainstorm ideas for product development or any other purpose where we need input from the team
PROSI love the UI/UX of this product. We are a remote team and this tool really help us to keep everyone alligned and improve process. Easy to brainstorm, vote and later share the notes with everyone
CONSIntegration with JIRA is not perfect. After assigning people in TeamRetro and sharing tickets to JIRA resets assignees. Otherwise everything else is perfect
