Sr. Project Manager at Stradley Ronon
Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.

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.

Pros

"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The ROI has been pretty huge."
"The user experience of Monday.com is exceptional; it's very easy to navigate and customize to our needs, and it's an outstanding product."
"Monday.com increases the transparency of project management and team management."
"All of the features are valuable. Especially, creating tickets for projects and assigning workers. Having trackable conversations and archive items for reference. We offer our customers a live update of their project by sharing a board directly with them. This allows them to comment or submit documents directly to Monday.com."
"Over time, we were able to move almost 90% of our workflow into Monday.com, and it has been a game-changer for us."
"The notification system is well done."
"I cannot say enough good things about Monday.com."
"It has allowed our small team of five to deliver more projects on time and with quality as well as instill trust with clients that their projects do not fall through the cracks."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case.

"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome."
"Perhaps my only comment is that it is not cheap but in saying that, it is worth every penny."
"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."
"If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful."
"We have difficulties playing with automation."
"The user administration needs to be improved."
"I have to use a ton of filters to get the exact data I want on an overview board."
"When replying to colleagues, it would be useful to see the formatting options (bold, bullets, etc.)."
"The export options are also not yet flexible and comprehensive enough."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"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."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"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 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."
"The product is not expensive."
