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 has made our company far more efficient and has saved on a lot of unnecessary chasing for updates."
"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"We love the live updates in real-time for all parties."
"Monday.com has enabled my organization to get on top of both individual and collaborative project management-related duties."
"Shareable boards with external partners and a couple of automations are valuable. I also like the simplicity or the clarity of the platform, and how it's a one-stop shop for everything rather than having multiple spreadsheets and folders."
"Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up."
"We've seen an ROI of at least 5X."
"It helped us automate our hiring/onboarding process."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"The user admin module could be more accessible."
"The only issue was that if I work with numbers for budget tracking, it is difficult."
"We'd like to see less downtime."
"The feature which needs more improvement or development is the dashboard."
"A message center that is similar to texting or Facebook Messenger would be useful."
"Regarding improvements for monday.com, while costs are reasonable for smaller teams, for larger enterprise projects, costs can become high as advanced features are tied to higher plans, making it less cost-efficient as team sizes grow."
"I wish there were more calculations available across boards and pulses."
"I would like to see Monday.com create a Work Package Template which could be created and adjusted as per each project but could also be amended via an app on site should this be required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"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 its free version."
"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 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."
