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."
"The solution is easily scalable."
"Other than that, this solution has helped me stay on track with my deadlines and miscellaneous tasks that I would otherwise forget about and overlook."
"I love that Monday.com has boards that can change with a click from a list, to a calendar, to a form that you can send and collect data, etc."
"monday.com increased the efficiency of the teams using it, thereby decreasing costs. We needed fewer people to do the same amount of work once the tasks were organized and presented in a simple way."
"Monday has been the better asset, our team has enjoyed using it and I feel like it's eliminated any overlap and confusion that we might experience on projects, especially the larger scale ones."
"I use the templates function to create standard templates for my project plans that I can easily duplicate and disperse organizationally."
"All employees can access it so everyone is in the know of what jobs are coming in and what jobs are going out."
"The product makes it much easier to manage and organize workload within the team since you can easily see what tasks are assigned to who, and how long these are expected to take."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"Monday markets itself as a project management tool that is flexible to work the way you want. That said, it has more limitations than we expected."
"Alongside the integrations, a Mailchimp one would help to add tags directly from Monday to the Mailchimp account."
"I'm unable to send messages or update any projects from my tablet or cell phone which makes it hard when you are in the field all day and can't be at your desk."
"The permission settings require workarounds for some use cases."
"I would really like to see the reporting functionality updated."
"However, larger firms need a robust CRM tool and features that Monday doesn't provide."
"Making adjustments to the My Work section so that it includes deadlines for multiple columns on a board instead of just one column, would be very useful."
"Poor implementation and training have caused individuals to reject using the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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 am using its free version."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
