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 ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"Automations are the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress."
"Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity."
"It's probably one of the most user-friendly platforms I've ever used."
"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."
"Our team uses the platform for many different functions, and the ability to have multiple Kanban boards that are integrated into various other platforms our team uses has helped us become more efficient in our content creation strategies."
"The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues."
"The sub-items have been incredibly helpful."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"Load time and glitches do occur on the site."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"BCC Outlook integrations could be better."
"Monday.com is always upgrading its features. I struggle to keep up with it all as I am not a tech expert."
"Monday.com can be improved by becoming even more simplistic in settings/layout."
"In my main table, I changed sometimes the timeline values mistakenly. That should be prevented via a smart warning or some sort of coloring."
"The stability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"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."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The product is not expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
