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.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Monday.com has allowed us to maintain a company culture and working structure while working completely remotely."
"The ROI that my team and I obtained from Monday.com covers the cost and then some; we've been able to raise internal efficiency and improve the overall capabilities of corporate operations."
"File upload and communication save hunting for messages or files across devices and shared areas."
"Monday.com is a must-have for any individual or business in the event or wedding planning industry."
"With Monday, everything is just one click away."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."
"We have many different automations set up for different use cases."
"Monday.com is our centralized location for managing all projects, to-dos, and tasks, as well as for managing a cooperative team."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
 

Cons

"Coordination with different social media platforms would be a convenient feature."
"The user administration needs to be improved."
"The ability to build the dashboard and visualizations out of the data that is in the platform could be better. There are no color themes and no further customization on that front, so you cannot brandify or white label all the platforms to make it look more like your business rather than a generic one."
"I struggle to use the mobile version of Monday.com."
"I'd love it if there was an instant messenger built into the product so I could talk with other teammates live in-product, as opposed to needing another solution like Slack, Google for chat, or Signal."
"I would love to see better integration with Google Suite."
"I've had trouble trying to link or merge together a board with my team in which we can collaborate and comment on each task or file without having our client in on the early stage conversations."
"A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of... If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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 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 solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
