It streamlined our project management and resource management process.
I think the functionality with the reporting capability can be improved and I know there's a new version of KeyedIn coming out. I haven't had the opportunity yet to look at the new version, but I would say that reporting is actually one are for improvement. The way their functionality is set could be improved because, basically, what it does is: you can pull a resourcing report and you can pull a financial report, and it seems like they pull from different databases. You're not always able to compile all the data into one report. You have to pull separate reports to look at different data. That's one thing that I found that has been kind of hard with KeyedIn, because you can't view all the data you want into one report. It's not that flexible. You have to work with two separate reports in order to come to look at the data that you want. I would say that's one area for improvement: You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report. I'm also looking for integration here. Integration with, for example, a BI platform. We're implementing a BI platform here. I know that in KeyedIn, there's no real data connector that connects straight – although you can still connect via API - but KeyedIn does not have a data connector right now. I talk to the rep each week and that's something that I think would be a big win for KeyedIn. If it had a data connector already, it would be easier to integrate with other platforms.

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

"It is a practical and useful tool which benefits both us and our clients."
"KeyedIn has been very valuable in helping us streamline our process here in terms of project management and resource management."
"Guest access for the client significantly increases their loyalty and understanding of the value of what we do for them."
"I love how I can customize so many items on the boards to fit my exact needs."
"My business is very streamlined and efficient from sales to project management and execution to billing."
"In terms of being more organized, Monday has greatly improved overall productivity in the workplace."
"We have saved an incredible amount of time by having all of our tools and resources in one place."
"The most valuable feature of Monday.com is the ability we have to customize it to suit all of our needs."
"In a previous organization, we completed a Windows 11 deployment through monday.com that finished faster because I was able to track each department and we did not have to hold progress meetings."
"The solution provides a one-stop place for notes, progress, and sharing the status of projects."
 

Cons

"It was more complicated than it needed to be, but with a KeyedIn implementation manager it was not an issue."
"I would say that reporting is actually one area for improvement. You're just not able to filter all the same data into one report."
"There are some features that are overcomplicated to implement and that are not great for the user."
"This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."
"Having more integrations for different specialties that use Monday would be great."
"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"The mobile application of the solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial to consider incorporating features that enhance the platform's customization capabilities in the next release."
"The solution is expensive yet worth it."
"Currently, we run our accounting on Quickbooks Online and we are forced to use their reporting tools to bring out the data we want to see. I would much rather have Quickbooks integration that allows us to more seamlessly pull transactions into Monday in real-time and allow us to manipulate that data on the Monday interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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."
"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."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
