Featured Reviews

Abenazzer Tadesse - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"It saves me from having to interrupt my team to get simple answers I can look for myself."
"The solution offers the simplicity of use with no need for 'experts' to build a suitable product for us (like Salesforce does, for example)."
"The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
"I especially like the dashboards where you can combine info from different boards into one."
"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."
"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"File upload and communication save hunting for messages or files across devices and shared areas."
"The product is quite simple to use."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The constant reminders are very distracting."
"Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information."
"It would be helpful if there were a little more flexibility with user numbers and the ability to add guests for a period of time."
"We have always wanted to be able to perform a global search for a phone number."
"The addition of subtasks was really great. It helps reduce a lot of the clutter on our boards. However, sometimes it is inhibitive to use them as the features available using main tasks don't apply to subtasks."
"We often have problems with bugs and slow service."
"Sometimes automation is delayed, which can lead to duplicate items being created."
"I'd like to see more integration with outside software such as social media publishing sites and cloud services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The product is not expensive."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
