A rigid product that is hard to customize, has no mobile app, and is rarely updated by the vendor
There is no mobile application. The product is unmoving, as there is no obvious development or enhancements being made. When we are trying to compete in a market we need an updated product. The product is not easily customizable and we have to depend on the reseller for that. It's a rigid product. There are no reports available.

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

"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"It essentially greatly improves team communication, making it so easy for someone to take over and understand exactly what has been done and what's next."
"Ultimately, Monday.com gave everyone on the team a workspace to get their work done."
"The tagging and notification features are great."
"Monday has given us a process around how we manage sales leads, marketing, social media promotion, and event setup and implementation."
"Automation is by far the most valuable tool ever."
"I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
"Monday is our home base for everything product-related, but we also use it for other teams as well."
"The customization ability of Monday is unmatched."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"A little more customization on the UI would be good."
"The only issue was that if I work with numbers for budget tracking, it is difficult."
"What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps."
"A message center that is similar to texting or Facebook Messenger would be useful."
"The site could load a bit faster."
"We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."
"As far as I know, when I make a new entry on a Board, and I'm putting in the first piece of information, you can't just hit return or tab to the next element."
"The product could have more templates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"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."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"I am using its free version."
"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."
