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."
"Being able to keep track of everything has never been so easy."
"Monday is the perfect time management tool."
"There are many templates to choose from when you are creating your first board."
"It's made our lives so much easier. Managing multiple projects with various deadlines, updates, people and costs has become a breeze with Monday."
"Monday.com paid for itself immediately by allowing us to be more productive and less frustrated."
"Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity."
"Since bringing in Monday.com and using this for all projects, all stakeholders know their roles and responsibilities - meaning that projects now run in a timely manner and are very rarely overrun."
"It has drastically helped me to get organized in the office and for personal to-do lists as well."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"It would be great if there was a setting where you could customize the email reminders."
"We run into technical issues a lot with monday.com, where certain errors just pop up randomly, and we would want to have a little bit more developer-friendly part from monday.com."
"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"In recent months, Monday.com has been down about once a week."
"The biggest thing missing that would be beneficial to us is a time tracking app."
"The product can be improved by adjusting some of the ways in which the "boards" work."
"We've tried to use the marketing analytics and some of the integrations to pull outside data in, but they've never worked well."
"While there are most of the features that users aspire to see in managing daily plans and tasks, they could focus to bring in extensive and comprehensive features of project management and grant management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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."
