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.

Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Besides the boards that we use daily to organize our information, we love the survey aspect of Monday.com too."
"Monday.com keeps our communication so simple."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Since we started to use Monday, we have been able to have a clear view of how organized we are, we have created a board for the important things that the school has to do, and we assign responsibilities for each activity and they receive an email about it, it is awesome."
"Monday.com has been our best ally regarding project management and file sharing."
"Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done."
"We also find it very helpful to make forms for events and to channel all the information in one specific board and then at the end of the month to see it all visually really impacts our decision-making process to make improvements."
"There are many templates to choose from when you are creating your first board."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in. You have a board like Kanban when you log in, and you've got a column on the left and several other columns that move to the right, depending on where you are in a particular deal. If it's a prospect or someone who is just looking, you move it along the process, and it really helps you keep track of where you are."
"Anyone thinking about using this solution should definitely look at it and seriously consider it because it's a very good product."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"Pipedrive offers a lot of value for the money because it includes e-signature, document generation, CRM, and workflow automation in one not-expensive solution."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Pipedrive makes it easy to understand who I'm talking to at a glance. It has all the activities, node features, opportunity interface, deal interface, and time drive deals.The sales process is extremely simple, which saves me time and energy. I can send the document for e-signature and make the most out of my deals. I can automatically send emails and phone calls. You need to do only a little API programming. It offers massive flexibility. You can run an entire enterprise on the platform. The ease of use facilitates huge adoption."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"It would be good if we could have the option to choose custom colors for the status fields and groups so we can make some boards more branded."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"Sometimes allocating between team members via the communication tool can be difficult."
"I work with many internet tabs open and would prefer having Monday.com as a separate program - not opened via the website."
"In terms of pricing, it is not the cheapest. They could offer more packages."
"The key limitation I face is that I don't find the tool to be fully intuitive as more time is required for me to learn how to use it optimally."
"More customizations for automation would be useful."
"I struggle to use the mobile version of Monday.com."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"The platform could be even more robust."
"Pipedrive could be more efficient. I want the management to be more transparent so it's easier to monitor the sales team's activities and results and do business forecasting. It would help them to improve the quality of the sales cycle."
"The product is expensive."
"The automation process is challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"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."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The product is not expensive."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
