Featured Reviews

An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The stability is good."
"I love the time-tracking feature."
"You can create a group of tasks and can write down sub-tasks under each task."
"Has very good collaborative functions."
"There are many incredible features, however, the ability to tag each other in comments, mark out progress, and get alerts through the app keeps us moving forward."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that we can make the tool as we want, in the way it is the most useful for us."
"We use less paper thanks to this product."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include the charts which are very useful for the reports."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"They need to add more data values and fields, such as currency and functional fields, as well as more trigger functionality for automation and time-based management."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"Sometimes, I had difficulty moving items from board to board and would have to move them twice to get them to successfully move."
"Monday is one of the more expensive tools available."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"The iPad version of Monday.com doesn't have the same functionality."
"I would like to see more flexibility with sub-items as well as more customization of branding for dashboards and exported documents."
"If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
