Abenazzer Tadesse - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Operations Officer at BeOnline ICT
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.

Centralized workflows have boosted cross-team collaboration and made complex projects manageable
monday.com can continue to improve their AI capabilities. When comparing monday.com to several alternatives when I was evaluating a project and project management, product road mapping, and workflow management platform for us, I looked at competitors such as Asana, ClickUp, SmartSheet, Airtable, and Notion. In my opinion, competitors such as Airtable and SmartSheet, especially followed by Asana and ClickUp, have worked on their AI and generative AI roadmap to combine database functionality with a very user-friendly interface for knowledge management and project tracking, essentially combining both worlds. Their AI is more sophisticated than what monday.com has released thus far. They provide a cleaner task-focused workflow management platform and I think that monday.com can still improve on this core piece of their technology. I think monday.com could also seek to be more process-oriented and intuitive. Other alternatives such as Asana and SmartSheet offer that approach. There is a steeper learning curve to learn monday.com in my opinion compared to Airtable, Asana, and others because I have also used those tools and platforms at other organizations. There is a bit of a learning curve with new users on monday.com because it is not as streamlined as I have experienced with competitors such as SmartSheet or Airtable. The capability sets are great, however, you may need to be hand-held via a monday.com rep when you get started within your organization or view the library of tutorials that monday.com has available. You can also view them on YouTube and that will help you get started on monday.com.

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 app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"It's made our lives so much easier. Managing multiple projects with various deadlines, updates, people and costs has become a breeze with Monday."
"All-in-all, Monday.com has changed how we worked for the better and easily saves us dozens of man-hours a week."
"Monday allows for all of this to be put in one place and the constant changes within the system allow for us to constantly grow our business strategy and ensure core objectives are reached throughout the year."
"When I show this to clients (and even my mother who I do business with sometimes), they are so impressed at how organized and easy it is to access information."
"It is nice that you can color code everything."
"The templates were always the best part as not starting from scratch made the process so much easier."
"Organization, in general, has been greatly improved and it has had a marked improvement in communication also, cutting down on wasted time during meetings and making life a little easier for everyone."
"Monday is the perfect time management tool."
 

Cons

"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I think monday.com could be improved by being more flexible at times."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
"The export options are also not yet flexible and comprehensive enough."
"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."
"The iPad version of Monday.com doesn't have the same functionality."
"In premium accounts, the amount of transactions allowed is so low. We have not been able to integrate more apps due to this limitation."
"The setup was complex. We had to learn on the run."
"Sometimes, I had difficulty moving items from board to board and would have to move them twice to get them to successfully move."
 

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."
"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."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"I am using its free version."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"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."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
