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."
"Monday.com is a very organized and easy-to-use tool."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It has saved a million emails from flying into our inboxes."
"We would have not been able to manage our pandemic response as seamlessly without Monday."
"You can create a group of tasks and can write down sub-tasks under each task."
"The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards."
"We use the solution for project management for upcoming large-scale events, working with multiple departments to keep everyone on the same page, and it has been an efficient source for our team."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include the charts which are very useful for the reports."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
"The tabs (color coding) featured is great for distinguishing different areas of our workflow."
"The system has been pretty buggy as of late. My business comes to a grinding halt when the platform goes down, which has been nearly once a week this past month."
"I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com."
"The constant reminders are very distracting."
"The stability could be improved."
"Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"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."
"I am using its free version."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
