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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable, and we are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general."
"Monday.com colors are friendly to the eye."
"The solution is easily scalable."
"It's probably one of the most user-friendly platforms I've ever used."
"The possibility of having multiple boards is indeed a great feature that allows us to see the many projects (and their progress) at a glance."
"Monday.com has changed the way our organization works as we are now able to be confident in the software we are using to organize our work and grant access to clients to look at."
"The UI is so smart."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It allows us to know in advance when each part of the project would be finished, and thus optimize our time."
 

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.

In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality."
"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."
"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
"It does everything we need it to, so no improvements are necessary."
"The marketing notification emails from Monday.com are really poor and of little value to the user."
"I would enjoy my own personal board on Monday that only I can see."
"The tabs (color coding) featured is great for distinguishing different areas of our workflow."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"They need to add more data values and fields, such as currency and functional fields, as well as more trigger functionality for automation and time-based management."
"The license tiers are a little difficult to manage, as Monday sells seats/licenses in bundles of five or ten. Too many times I've had clients with six users who are forced to pay for ten user licenses due to the pricing structure."
"It helped us a lot in content management issues for TikTok and YouTube, however, it would be good to have an integration for each social network to get all the data within a single platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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 is worth it."
"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."
"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."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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."
