monday.com Reviews

We are a design and marketing company and have grown from one freelance designer to a team of ten people. As we have expanded the team, we needed a platform to put all job requests which allows us to allocate each job to a specific team member. I believe we started using this just before lockdown. 

We had previously used a system called Redbooth however we needed something a bit more sofisticated. The main use of this was so we can see all jobs at a glance and also mark them with a status as to where they're up to, and when they're complete. 

Monday.com has allowed us to organize our workload in a much more efficient way. 

We can communicate better within the team, especially throughout lockdown and when some of the team are working from home. 

We have also been able to give access to clients at time which has been useful, to keep them up to date without having to send emails. 

We can now allocate jobs to multiple team members and they can communicate the progress within the job notes and status. It has really helped us to manage our ongoing work.

Monday.com has allowed us to list all our jobs on different client boards, and organize our workload as a team and as individuals. Throughout lockdown, this was especially useful, as we could use Monday.com to communicate and leave notes about each job. The automation options are also very useful as once a job is complete, it can be moved to the bottom of the board, into a different group. Being able to tag multiple people onto one job is also beneficial too us, as we often have two to three members of the team working on one project.

The biggest thing missing that would be beneficial to us is a time tracking app.

We currently use Toggl daily to track all our client time. We would much prefer this function to be within Monday.com so that we can manage all our jobs and time within the same platform. 

It would also help if we could see all jobs under one user's name within a calendar format. I know this is something you offer but at the moment we don't find it very clear. Also, when a user's name is searched, all jobs they are to show, however, this includes completed jobs that we don't think should appear.

I've used the solution for two to three years.

Technical support is very good. It's quick and helpful.

We used to use Redbooth. We wanted something with more features.

One of our developers set up the functions on each board and found it easy.

We have suggested Monday.com to clients, however, we haven't spoken about pricing.

The evaluation of other options wasn't something that I was involved with.

My company uses Monday to keep track of tasks for every employee. We set up meetings and engage in active conversations about due dates and timelines being adhered to. 

Monday is used for uploading critical documents which can be accessed by permitted co-workers. We use it to keep track of financial statement procedures. We are a financial and auditing firm, the website allows for multiple boards which we like to use per client. This website has truly helped us keep on board with all our clientele. 

Monday is really easy to use. The website allows for unlimited boards and practically a virtual board. We mainly use it to keep track of financial statement procedures, that is, where exactly are the auditors along with the audit. We also use boards to maintain our clientele information, for example, usernames, passwords, emails, addresses, tax numbers, and company registration numbers, the possibilities are endless.

This website has truly helped us keep on board with all our clientele, literally.

My favorite feature is time tracking. It is extremely precise and useful. We also provide accounting services at the firm and it is so mundane to sit with a stopwatch every time we work on a client. 

This feature helps us bill the clients for the exact hours and minutes. Some clients have a tough time believing the time spent on their company. 

If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful. This way we can attach supporting documentation to our clients, with proof of the hours worked on for their company. 

In respect of time tracking, the reports option would be of great help in implementing invoices to clients. As we provide many services to our clients, for example, tax submissions, vat submissions, company, and individual submissions. We also provide registrations and deregistrations of various elements in businesses. Trust is vital. We are able to print out reports to support our time spent on these companies and individuals. In addition to this feature, I would like for Monday to introduce personal chats, this will help communicate and address information to related persons. 

I would also like for Monday to introduce more customizations to the columns, such as notify, approving, etc.  

I've used the solution for about a year.

The app is definitely one of the most stable.

The scale has great scope. This is used throughout my firm.

I have not yet needed any support.

Neutral

I have used Monday only, and I absolutely love it.

I'm not sure how easy or difficult the setup was.

The setup was handled in-house.

The ROI can be found in great tracking, task allocation, and easy management.

The price is totally worth it, however, the advertising could use some help.

I did not evaluate other options.

I work in an accounting and auditing firm and I use Monday.com every day.

We use it for many purposes, mainly for keeping track of all the clients in the company as well as what work is required and when such work is due.

We use Monday.com to store passwords and completed financials, tax returns, and so forth.

Allocating work and keeping time spent on a project is always helpful along with due dates, emails, and reminders being sent and storing contact details, the multiple columns, and pages, Monday.com does it all.

Monday.com has improved our organization in many ways including planning, amongst many employees and many projects, and tracking time spent on a project as well as who does the work. 

We are able to store valuable information such as digital files, contact information, due dates, and so forth and not have to worry about whether it is safe or not.

Since we started using Monday.com, we have been able to do work more efficiently and keep track of everything. Everyone enjoys using Monday.com and cannot go a day without it. 

The feature that I have found most valuable is the boards on Monday which allow for allocation, time tracking, and storing of important information. This is quite valuable when it comes to an organization that is big, has many clients, and many employees.

We are able to keep track of clients and what they require and who needs to do what and we can get rid of the old whiteboard/pen and paper, saving us time and money and helping us go green. It is very user-friendly and the interface is clean.

The product can be improved by allowing for some sort of autonomous deadline creation. I'm not very certain of the possibility, however, it would be great.

Another aspect of improvement that would be great would be integration with other websites or applications such as Sage and CaseWare. Being able to directly upload information and so forth back and forth between two websites or applications would create a huge game-changer, that would completely allow Monday.com to the true title of "all in one place".

I've used the solution for two years.

The stability is excellent. There have been no issues on my side.

The scalability is good.

I have not had a need to reach out to support and therefore have no experience yet.

Neutral

We did not use a different solution previously.

It was straightforward and we did not have any issues. It was just your normal expected setup.

We had an in-house implementation.

The ROI is impressive and has improved in many aspects. We are quite highly satisfied.

Getting Monday is the best decision you can make - it is worth it.

We did look into Notion.

It changed the way our business works and it is great.

We use the product for internal project management for every department in the business: marketing, product launches, finance, logistics etc. 

We also invite our external agencies to internal projects like SEO, Ads and Press.  

We are a small full remote team. As we grew, the complexity of projects grew as well as the number of projects. Monday helped us scale easily, understand bottlenecks, and plan accordingly. It's also been a life saver as I don't need to remember anything. It's all on Monday! We've totally moved away from emails. 

It gives managers a clear view on how projets are moving forward and they are able to give support where needed without having to constantly follow-up.  

Board templates are really good when you have recurring projects. 

Automations are perfect to save time and remind people of various tasks. 

Overall the product is really good and can adapt to any team with specific columns for each board. 

"My Work" gives you a great view of all the tasks that are due and upcoming.

The dependencies and Gantt chart could be better. I would love it to have personal views with hidden columns per board. Sometimes it can get quite overwhelming. 

I'm not a big fan of the new left panel organization by workspace. Maybe this is due to the fact that we are in a small business. 

We'd like to send emails via Monday. Ideally, being able to cc Monday tasks from our mail account could be better. (ie. sending attachments, being able to cc the task with people not in Monday (they received an error message when replying).  

I'd love it if their could be feature to plan for work time for a task (not a timeline as it shows in your "My Work" view)

We've used the solution for three years.

Stability is pretty good. Every now and then server is down. 

The scalability is very good although it would be great to have more onboarding videos. 

Technical support is super helpful and very fast to respond.

Positive

We did not use solutions.

The initial setup is super straightforward. We imported our Excel files.

We handled the setup in-house.

The ROI has been very good.

We looked into Asana, Trello, and Notion.

I run a laser treatments business and use Monday.com to keep all my important information together in one place. 

I run a laser treatments business and use monday.com to keep all my important information together in one place. 

Automation is definitely my favorite feature as it makes our lives so much easier. Also, being able to create a hiring process on Monday.com which links a form to our website has definitely helped us a lot.

Monday.com is always upgrading its features. I struggle to keep up with it all as I am not a tech expert. However, if I had to pick an area that could be improved it would be the user-friendliness of the platform compared to other similar apps. 

I've used the solution for three years. 

It seems pretty stable to me. I've never been concerned. 

It could be as big as Microsoft. It's scalable.

Customer support at Monday.com is great. They are always giving fast replies and useful answers. 

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

I handled the initial setup in-house. 

I've seen an ROI of 350%

The product offers fair pricing.

I also looked into Asana.

The solution helps to organize our workflow, to stay on top of projects and too manage team projects and to see if our team is overworked. 

We use it for our graphic department and our video production, making it easy to see where are we with the projects. The request forms saved us a lot of time and made things more organised, without them we would have a big mess and miss communication with our creative team. Our main use case is to track our projects if they are done in time so we don't miss any deadlines or if the team is overworked. 

Monday has drastically improved our workflow by helping us stay on top of up-and-coming projects or our internal projects. 

Before using Monday we were sending e-mails for project requests. The number of emails made everything confusing and some projects missed their deadlines since we weren't organized. 

Since we started using Monday about a year ago, our creative team has been organized and we don't miss any deadlines. We stay on top of projects and see what has a higher priority and what can be done later. 

The best feature is the form for requests for new projects. This made our workflow much easier. Before the creative request, we tried to enter requests manually, however, that lead to misinformation or missing key features. Since we started implementing the request form, our creative team has more than enough information to start creating and making the deadline. Project tracking is also one of the best features so we know where the project is and how close to the finished product it is.

The solution could be improved by adding more plugins for Adobe (not just Photoshop) and adding a plugin for Discord. Our creative team loves using Discord as the main source for communications. If there was a plugin that would combine the two that would be amazing. Similar to the plugin for Photoshop, we would love to see another plugin where we could see in the threads updates of the projects, if the project is done, and if the project is stuck (and needs some helping hands). If this would be all synchronized it would help our team a lot.

We have been using the service for about one year.

We haven't had any problems with Monday. We are impressed with the stability of this site. We didn't notice any crashes with the app (iOS and Android) so the stability is excellent.

Scaling means being able to create and control customer experiences for any type of customer, any size group of customers, and for any or all portions of a business. Ever since we started using Monday, this solution made us scale much faster. 

Support is excellent.

Positive

We tried using Trello. For our line of business, Monday is the only solution that we need.

For our new members of our team, Monday was and is the easiest solution to pick up and start working on. For users that never met with this solution, it was surprisingly easy for them to pick up and start working on projects.

We implemented this through our in-house creative team.

We are well organised with the solution, which, for us, represents a 25% ROI.

We advise upgrading to a pro user account. The features alone that you get will save you time and money in the long run.

We Googled a lot of other solutions, however, we found out that Monday is the one we need and is easier to pick up for new members.

We would just like to see more plugin support, like a plugin for Discord

Our marketing team uses Monday.com as a project management system. We are currently a two-person team and this solution helps us stay on track and provide updates about various projects. We look forward to expanding the use of Monday.com into other departments. 

When I used Monday at my last job, we had a team of four which meant there were so many moving pieces and projects. Monday helped us silo everything we were working on into one place. Our boss could easily see items needing review and could get a status update pretty easily.

Instead of using flagged emails, a spreadsheet, or a paper calendar as a way to keep track of various projects, I can easily create an item on Monday. Nothing gets lost, and I can add notes and details to each item. 

Subitems really help me stay organized when a project has more than one piece. (Which happens more often than not.) The automation is very helpful in the review process on many projects. Having an email sent to the person requesting the project automatically when the status changes save so much time.

The introduction of subitems has been a game-changer. I love being able to group together different pieces of projects under one item. It keeps me more organized. 

I also love having different automation set up to make our workflow between us and different departments seamless. I have boards for each month so I know what I should be focusing on. 

I also like being able to sort projects based on who owns them or how I've tagged them. I've just recently started looking into the different ways to view a board, and I can't wait to dig in further.

There are so many bells and whistles that I don't feel like I'm using Monday to its full potential. I know that's on me, however, maybe offering more webinars or having users show other users how they use Monday, in full detail with examples would help. Perhaps having industry-related groups that could have a "show and tell" every month would be helpful. I'd love to find someone who has a job similar to mine in the same industry show me how they use Monday. There are so many options and ways to use it effectively. 

I've used Monday.com since late 2018. I liked it so much that I also took it with me to my new job in 2019.

I've never had an issue with stability. It works exactly like I want it to when I want it to.

Monday can be fully customized and used in so many different ways. I can't even imagine the possibilities. 

My other solution was using my Inbox, a paper calendar, and a spreadsheet. Using Monday makes way more sense. 

I thought it was straightforward, however, having all of the options available make it a little overwhelming at first.

It was set up in-house by me.

I'm unsure as to if we've seen an ROI.

Any setup cost or money spent will be well worth it by all of the time you get back into your day.

I did not evaluate other options.

I cannot say enough good things about Monday.com. I'm a customer for life.

The primary use case of Monday.com in our office experience is for event planning, organization, promotion, and execution. It is helpful in the process of identifying what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and when it needs to be done. 

Overall, it is really helpful in the behind-the-scenes processes of event planning. Our environment for event planning is a non-profit educational organization and our events range from 50 to 12,000 people in attendance. We primarily use it for mid-size events, however, it has been helpful in other types, too. 

It has helped us organize details and tasks that need to take place leading up to an event. 

It helpfully can assign tasks to co-workers while also notifying them. There are several sections where they can fill in more information about details. 

In event planning, it is easy to let small things slip through the cracks as you are attempting to execute the big picture of the event, however, details like name cards, reserved signs, table numbers, and smaller gifts can be forgotten in the process. Monday.com is helpful in reminding us who is helping with those small things.

The features that are most valuable to us include creating sections of lists in an event, being able to assign tasks to different people (and having them automatically get notified), assigning different aspects like dates/details to these tasks, and also being able to attach important documents to tasks like schedules, menus, and other event details. 

Monday.com has been helpful to us in multiple ways, however, primarily it has been great in the ability to think through details and assign them to different coworkers. 

Monday.com can be improved by becoming even more simplistic in settings/layout. 

I have had multiple co-workers tell me about their confusion at first glance of the website. However, they typically get used to it. 

I would recommend creating an even simpler layout of the main screen as well as of the settings. I have had difficulty trying to figure out how to adjust the settings for various items, including setting up notifications. 

Overall, I think Monday.com is user-friendly, however, improvements can be made.

I've used the solution for about two years.

We tried using Slack, however, it was not very user-friendly because I have had many co-workers tell me they could not understand how to use it. Comparatively, Monday.com was easier to learn to use on a daily basis. 

It is a little pricey, yet worth it if you have the extra revenue stream.

We have not yet evaluated other options.
