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.

Project collaboration has improved and automation saves time and reduces errors
The best features monday.com offers are reporting, customization, and company contacts, tracking communication, and project plans. All of the features are really important, especially the project planning, which gives us the ability to manipulate project plans, and it's very helpful. Also, tracking our communication is valuable. I love that I can see both my communications and the communications of my coworkers with the company contacts. When it comes to company contacts, I appreciate the ability to have the company as well as various tags, documents, and contact types. It has really boosted our team collaboration, where different departments are able to collaborate within one project, and we are able to complete many projects on time and deliver them to our clients. Our clients have become very happy over time since we started using monday.com. We've been able to complete many projects on time and meet our deadlines. This has really made our clients happy, and they have trusted us a lot. Through automation of tasks which were previously time-consuming and tedious, we've been able to save a lot of time and cost. We've also improved our team collaboration. We can collaborate securely remotely, thereby improving our productivity. We've been able to save thousands of dollars since we started using automation. We're able to save approximately 80% of our time through automation. We've also been able to reduce human risk, where there is no human contact with the data, thereby greatly reducing human error.

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."
"I like monday.com's automation capabilities the most, but the reporting is also excellent. Jira and our other tools provide decent reporting, but monday.com adds another layer. We can drill further down into processes, problems, and issues. These reports have helped us to control our sales funnel."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"Monday.com has provided a centralized and easy-to-use area for my team to store all of our information and collaborate together."
"I like the update feature. It's almost like you can replace email with it. You can communicate on a particular item within monday.com, and then you can see the history of who commented, when they commented, what they said, and the reply to what they said. It's much easier to follow up on a particular item than have a thousand emails going back and forth. In a big project, you can usually have a ton of emails. If you use monday.com as a communication tool, you can almost eliminate email and have better tracking on what was done, when it was done, and what was said about the items. That's probably my favorite feature."
"It is easy to use and our processes are much better organized and reviewed."
"Being able to add comments to line items makes it easier to provide updates on tasks and flag if there are delays or issues in completing something."
"The flexibility to create any sort of format has been very valuable."
"I love being able to "check off" a task by changing its status to "done." It also disappears off the list when you complete it."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"I'm not such a fan of the infinite scroll to the right."
"We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."
"I'd like better integration with other services."
"The user admin module could be more accessible."
"Load time and glitches do occur on the site."
"The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."
"It could have a few more features when it comes to managing projects."
"It would be great to have more options on the form for external use, and an easier exporting option for client answers (rather than copying and pasting from each section)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"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."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
