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.

C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The automation is great."
"I really enjoy all the additional columns you can add to your Monday pulses to cater to what information you need."
"Monday.com has made it much easier to keep track of a wide range of tasks whilst we have a team distributed over multiple countries and timezones."
"I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
"The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress."
"I like planning out steps within an item with dates."
"It allows us to get everyone on the same page at their local terminal without having to sync everyone on ten different software solutions."
 

Cons

"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.

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."
"Having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful."
"I do find the emails too frequent and notifications or inbox for things that aren't tagged for me inconvenient and occasionally confusing."
"Making adjustments to the My Work section that it includes deadlines for multiple columns on a board instead of just one would be very useful."
"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."
"It would be good if we could have the option to choose custom colors for the status fields and groups so we can make some boards more branded."
"A more personalized dashboard displaying each account's unfinished assignments would be helpful."
"In my initial exposure to the interface, I did not find it to be very user-friendly."
"I'd like to see some kind of way to display our data to realtor partners without giving them access to our entire board."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"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."
"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."
"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's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
