  • "Role-based access control is the main thing I would identify when it comes to needed improvements for monday.com."

What is our primary use case?

I use monday.com for project management.

A specific example of how I used monday.com for product management is to keep a list of competitors that we use; it is basically to keep a list of competitors or keep a list of potential prospects.

I also keep track of where our progress is in response to things we have to do regarding my main use case.

What is most valuable?

The best features monday.com offers are definitely the user interface.

The ease of use of the user interface stands out to me.

Gained flexible reporting and daily visibility but have needed more intuitive field handling
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, monday.com has impacted my organization positively, providing an overall view and an end-to-end view of status."
  • "The user experience of monday.com can be better, but this is true for any platform."

What is our primary use case?

Since January 2025, I have been working as a CEO, so I'm not doing a lot of hands-on tasks anymore, but I'm using lots of Google tools and monday.com, mainly.

The Google tools I'm using include Google Analytics, and I utilize analytics and all the advertisement platforms they have. I do not work with Google Analytics 360.

I mostly use monday.com for reports, as the company's use case is for workflow and for CRM. I'm using it only for reports.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of monday.com are mainly its flexibility that I can add any field that I want and it's very light. That's the main thing, and from my perspective, it's also that it's subscription-based per user.

Overall, monday.com has impacted my organization positively, providing an overall view and an end-to-end view of status. I gain more visibility.

What needs improvement?

The user experience of monday.com can be better, but this is true for any platform.

It could be more user-friendly. From my perspective, it's how you handle the fields, but I'm not the one that's using it, so these are observations I've heard about.

For how long have I used the solution?

Since January 2025, I have been working as a CEO, so I'm not doing a lot of hands-on tasks anymore, but I'm using lots of Google tools and monday.com, mainly.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding stability and reliability so far, it's good. I have no issues and I've not heard of any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

So far, scalability has proved itself to me as good. I hope to expand by increasing the number of users or to include monday.com in our infrastructure. I am confident that monday.com is able to do that.

How are customer service and support?

I have not personally communicated with the technical support of monday.com. I don't know if I needed any help or any cases that needed to be solved, as I'm not the one that's handling it.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before monday.com, I used Excel for these use cases. I chose to switch from Excel to something else because I grew the number of customers, and everything grew, and I just needed something which would be more reliable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did evaluate other options before monday.com, but I don't remember which one.

What other advice do I have?

For advanced reporting features of monday.com pertaining to my use cases, I'm using only the reports. I don't think I use any advanced reporting features; I only use things that are out-of-the-box there.

We do leverage automation capabilities of monday.com in our use case. I wouldn't know how important and useful these automation capabilities are for me, as I'm not the one that's doing the implementation. I do feel the impact of automation on my workflow; it has become quicker, and I've managed to save some time. It's very useful. The time-to-market is very good.

The detailed dashboards on monday.com are good. I'm using it on a daily basis.

They have not helped me improve productivity across departments like HR, sales, and marketing, as it's not relevant for my use case. We're not using it for that.

I chose monday.com mainly because of the subscription-based model and no commitment, which caught my eye.

I rate this review at 7 out of 10.

Centralized student onboarding has transformed tutor workflows and now supports automated attendance
Pros and Cons
  • "Tutor satisfaction is definitely one of the points that I would like to share about monday.com."
  • "We run into technical issues a lot with monday.com, where certain errors just pop up randomly, and we would want to have a little bit more developer-friendly part from monday.com."

What is our primary use case?

monday.com acts like a very user-friendly CRM tool that helps us keep our users in check. What we do is run the systems for student accounts and student onboarding, which is the data that gets stored onto monday.com. We use monday.com for its better user experience so that we can extend the access to our tutors, which will have access to all the students in their particular classes, and they can take some actions based on what they want.

For example, we can provide a monday.com admin action to mark attendance, and the tutor can use that board to mark the attendance for a particular student, and there could be back-end automations running to do the same for the user. There are a couple of automations that run in monday.com, which is probably Google Sheets on steroids with enhanced features, multiple processes, and even automations baked into it.

As those automations are not fulfilling our purpose, we can have certain values of a column updated or certain parameters of any particular item updated using monday.com automations directly. For example, we can set up automation in monday.com that will mark something that runs every Monday and marks something based on having recurring classes every Monday.

If we have an absent flow, when the tutor marks absent, we can trigger a particular value in a certain board using monday.com automations. For more complex scenarios, we use the webhooks feature for monday.com so that we can better handle our use cases by calling a webhook in Make.com, Zapier.com, or N8N and call them to do complex workflows directly on monday.com.

The main use case for monday.com is that, and apart from that, the other day-to-day workflows would be the seamless integrations between multiple different boards and the mirror column facility, which facilitates data to be on one single board but displaying across multiple different regions. With monday.com, we are able to handle thousands and thousands of students that we intake based on our different education brands, like test prep, med prep, or even school-level mathematics.

Having monday.com makes it more centralized where we can handle student accounts only in one board and then for different classes, we can extend access to different boards and use mirror columns to showcase the students while we still have one central source of truth.

What is most valuable?

Probably the best feature of monday.com would be the intuitive user interface and user experience, which any user who has used Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel would find themselves familiar with, along with built-in automations, the ability to call webhooks, and the various number of column types.

The better user interface and user experience definitely stand out to me because this is a tool that can be used for both the development team as well as extended access to the consumer or the customer side of the system, or in our case, the tutors and other relevant stakeholders who need not understand the deep technicals of things but can take actions directly from the board.

What needs improvement?

We run into technical issues a lot with monday.com, where certain errors just pop up randomly, and we would want to have a little bit more developer-friendly part from monday.com. There could be better communication with mirror columns or have a better experience in terms of the technical side of it and not the front-end side of it, which can be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using monday.com probably two years ago, and with this particular company, I have been using it extensively, so I have around one and a half to two years of experience working with monday.com.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Because of the technical issues that we run into on a monthly basis, if those can be improved, the score can definitely be improved.

How are customer service and support?

Tutor satisfaction is definitely one of the points that I would like to share about monday.com. Before monday.com, we were using HubSpot, which, even though it is a very good technical tool, does not provide a very good user interface for people who are not working in sales or people who do not really want to know the technical side of things. Having a simpler UI with technical functionalities of a backend and a good user-initiative front-end, where we can change labels based on certain parameters, is definitely something that the tutors were eager to try out, and they really liked the systems from the time we set it up.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for those looking into using monday.com is to probably start using it, especially if they are dealing with stakeholders who would want to review things directly on the database side and take actions directly on their own, as monday.com would definitely provide a good user interface and experience for that. I also advise the technical team to probably use a side automation platform such as Make.com or a script running on some cloud to talk between platforms using the automation functionality of monday.com.

We have very good GraphQLs for monday.com that help us do most of the work, with the monday.com community also being good enough to push updates on a regular basis. A one-word description for monday.com is "Google Sheets on steroids", and I think I would stick to that. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
Pros and Cons
  • "I recommend monday.com as a great tool for managing projects, especially those that depend on tasks with new tasks needing completion."
  • "I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult."

What is our primary use case?

I use monday.com for project management. We worked on a project that required managing various groups working independently on separate aspects but contributing to the same project. We created groups and projects and tracked every task. We also used it as a communication tool and a place for feedback, where someone could comment on delays or issues.

What is most valuable?

The creation of tasks and subtasks is very effective in monday.com. Grouping projects is also beneficial. However, I would like the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks. Additionally, I appreciate that monday.com helps in quick decision-making by facilitating communication on the go through the comment section and email alerts when someone comments. This feature helps in making decisions faster instead of waiting for stand-up meetings.

What needs improvement?

I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with monday.com for about one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

monday.com was stable and reliable during my usage.

How are customer service and support?

I contacted support only to ask about subtasks. They informed me that the feature I wanted was not available, but I did not encounter any issue that required opening a support ticket.

How would you rate customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?

monday.com is easy to set up. However, for my project, it took a few hours due to its complexity and the need to handle several dependencies and subtasks.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend monday.com as a great tool for managing projects, especially those that depend on tasks with new tasks needing completion. It is reliable for tracking progress in real-time and for projects where different teams work on different parts that aggregate to the main project. I rate monday.com as seven out of ten due to the need for improvement in creating more than two levels of subtasks and dependency management across groups.

Facilitates team coordination and streamlines project monitoring while offering valuable notifications
Pros and Cons
  • "monday.com saves time and gets everyone on the same page within my team."
  • "If monday.com was cheaper, that would be better because it's quite expensive."

What is our primary use case?

We use monday.com on a daily basis for our to-do lists and to stay in touch with our team to see how projects are progressing. We have everything on monday.com for each project step, allowing us to monitor how things are going.

How has it helped my organization?

monday.com saves time and gets everyone on the same page within my team.

What is most valuable?

monday.com is easy to use, and making authorizations is straightforward. If there are any changes, I receive an email which is very useful because I don't check monday.com daily. Whenever something changes or my team makes updates, I get an email notification about it, which is quite useful. monday.com saves time and gets everyone on the same page within my team.

What needs improvement?

If monday.com was cheaper, that would be better because it's quite expensive.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

monday.com is stable. We only experienced downtime once, which lasted for almost an hour. It was a global issue, so neither monday.com nor us could do anything.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

monday.com is scalable. It is not hard to add another user.

How are customer service and support?

Although I never used their customer service, during the setup we received sufficient help and training sessions. I would rate their customer service a ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Trello before switching to monday.com. Trello was confusing and adding another person to our team was quite hard.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of monday.com is quite easy. We had someone from their team show us some basics, and they provided trainings.

What about the implementation team?

We received help from someone in their team for setup and training.

What was our ROI?

monday.com saves time and consolidates our team's progress in one place.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We pay almost 20K per year for approximately twenty users. It is quite expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We used Trello before switching to monday.com.

What other advice do I have?

monday.com is not hard to use for adding another user, although it is really expensive. I would rate the overall solution a nine.

User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
Pros and Cons
  • "The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues."
  • "The synchronization feature is not functioning optimally"
  • "The need for a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down. Additionally, the synchronization feature is not functioning optimally."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering.

What is most valuable?

monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues.

What needs improvement?

The need for a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down. 

Additionally, the synchronization feature is not functioning optimally.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using monday.com for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are issues with stability, such as network and performance slowdowns.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We only use it within our department, comprising 50 to 70 people. We are uncertain about its scalability in other departments.

How are customer service and support?

I've never contacted customer support for monday.com as I am not responsible for managing the tool.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. I would rate it an eight out of ten for ease of setup.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are considering building a custom tool in our company rather than using another commercial tool.

What other advice do I have?

There must be other tools more useful than monday.com, but so far, it's good for our needs. I would recommend it for normal company users with standard project management requirements.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
Pros and Cons
  • "The power of the dashboard that the solution gives you means you can do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming quarters."
  • "There are a lot of ways that monday.com does not work, for example, when it comes to HRMS. A particular employee can't apply for leave or check the status of a leave request or check his 401(k) status. Those are things that are missing in monday.com."

What is our primary use case?

I work for a company called Enreap and we are a preferred partner and reseller of monday.com, based in India. I lead the practice of Monday.com within my organization for the entire APAC region. I take care of product operations for monday.com in the region, including the entire sales, implementation, and support cycles.

With regard to the use case, I started off using monday.com for product management. Now, I cater to several use cases, including project management, CRM, sales, product development, HR, and admin.

Recently I've been working with a customer from a logistics company wherein I'm building their entire HR system on monday.com. I'm also working with a manufacturing company to build their entire production cycle on monday.com.

How has it helped my organization?

My organization now uses monday.com internally for service delivery management, as well as to track ongoing internal initiatives. First and foremost, as a result, collaboration has improved drastically. There is flexibility to have collaboration across the different functions of the organization.

Another way we have benefited is visibility, wherein the key stakeholders at the C level have visibility into the entire timeline of an initiative. They have clear updates on what's happening and the current status of an initiative. The C level is concerned about the reporting so we have set it up so that there is a workstation that every team or function is working from. That data gets rolled up to the C level so they have consolidated reports available at the click of a button.

In addition, we use real-time reporting. Previously, people used to struggle for a couple of hours before project reviews to get the data to prepare presentations and reports. Now, the reports are available at the click of a button. The entire report generation process has scaled down to a matter of a few minutes.

Breaking down silos is one of the biggest use cases of monday.com. It has cross-functional collaboration capabilities, which definitely break down the silos right away, the moment you start collaborating.

What is most valuable?

It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable.

monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes.

Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well.

Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data.

There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start.

And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds. 

What needs improvement?

There are a lot of areas that monday.com is building solutions on. For example HRMS, Ecommerce, Logistics, and Retail. There are very few options for customers that need an on-premise server as this iSaaS-based solution (Cloud). There is a lot of work going on in the roadmap to improve functionality with common Chat systems like WhatsApp and other Financial Accounting Systems (FAS).  

As a partner, we are enabling our customers to integrate with third-party tools using custom APIs and other connectors available.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using monday.com for almost four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable. I've rarely seen it go down. Even for Enterprise accounts, where a customer of mine has 1,500 users using the solution, it's pretty fantastic.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There is no end to the scalability with monday.com. You can scale up as much as you want and define as many functions as you want. You can define as many rows, items, and columns as you need. There's no end to it. You can define as many automations and integrate as many tools as you want.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted their support several times. We use the solution internally in our organization but, at the same time, I sell monday.com to a lot of customers because I'm a channel partner and there have been some billing issues. In India, where we are located, if you're not a registered company you can't collect recurring payments. monday.com isn't a registered company here so recurring transactions have stopped completely. That is why some of our customers do need support and we have had to raise a ticket when it's time to renew their licenses.

I rate their tech support at six out of 10. The reason is that it takes a bit of time. There is a lot of back and forth and there is very little that the tech support can really help with because most of the customizations and requests need to be handled by the product team. Their tech support has very little know-how about what needs to be done and you end up relying on the product team. Due to this a lot of people switch to a workaround, doing it on their own and coming up with their own solution. That's one area where significant improvement is needed.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used to use Jira but it was predominantly being used from a technical standpoint. In our organization, we have about 70 team members on the delivery side who are purely technical, and about 100 members who are non-tech users in marketing, HR, ITIL desk, initiative tracking, and program management. The non-tech members were finding it a little difficult and cumbersome to manage Jira. To manage Jira, you need to have a certain level of technical acumen.

Creating a project in Jira takes a bit of time compared to monday.com because you need to map a lot of the details in a project and create epics, tasks, et cetera. 

How was the initial setup?

It's a cloud-based platform that is deployed on AWS. There are no private servers to install for monday.com. It's a purely SaaS platform. So you just put in the URL and log in and you're done. There isn't really a particular deployment. You just sign up for an account and that's it.

Because it's SaaS there is zero maintenance. All maintenance is taken care of by monday.com.

What was our ROI?

It has definitely helped to reduce project delays. We did an ROI calculation with a couple of our customers where we deployed monday.com and we managed to save no less than 15,000 hours per year for a team of 50 or 60 people. Multiplied by the daily employee wage in India for an average worker of $10 an hour, that's a return of $150,000.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit higher than most of its competitors, but when compared to the ROI year on year, it does justify the investments. 

Pricing needs to be linked to the available features, capabilities, and flexibility in customization. Once you have the automation and integrations in place correctly the ROI is much better than with the other tools. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did look at Asana and I had some experience with it as well as with Zoho Projects. But monday.com turned out to be pretty intuitive and easy to adopt. The learning curve was pretty low compared to Asana and Zoho. 

And with Zoho, there is a very fixed structure and much less customization available. If I wanted to set my delivered value as ARR, for example, I couldn't rename that particular field in other solutions. That lack of customization was a deal breaker for us.

What other advice do I have?

Training is a part of the onboarding process that I do for my customers. If you talk about two years ago, it used to take around one or one and a half months to onboard 50 users. Today, with the adoption of low-code, no-code, and AI, people have gotten used to having a tool that is easy and flexible. Now, the entire learning curve has been reduced and, within two to three weeks, I have 50 users onboarded.

My advice would be that before you buy it you need to know your use case really well and there has to be a particular challenge or pain point identified. Are you facing difficulties in tracking? Are you having problems with visibility into your resources and capacity? Are you having difficulties with reporting or streamlining your workflows? If your answer to any of these issues is "Yes, I do have that," monday.com is definitely an answer and solution for you.

Overall, I would rate the solution at around 8.5 to nine out of 10.

We can collaborate with our customers efficiently and professionally, and automation makes it easy for everyone
Pros and Cons
  • "It's very easy to use. When we were trying to pick a system, we looked at Asana, Jira, and other platforms, and they were very cluttered. But monday.com is very user-friendly. As a user, everything is very clear. You don't need to be too tech-savvy to understand it and it's very easy to pick up on and learn."
  • "We can send emails from monday.com, but when it comes to the format, we don't necessarily want to always have the monday.com logos. We want to be able to make the emails we send out from monday.com, especially if they're coming from a specific person, look like they would if they were coming from our Outlook."

What is our primary use case?

We use monday.com for pretty much everything. We use it for project management, internal project management and task management, and we're starting to use it more for internal HR processes such as time off. 

We integrate it with Microsoft SharePoint and Outlook so that we have visibility across the board for ourselves.

How has it helped my organization?

We pretty much couldn't survive without it now. It's our go-to system. We've been able to do everything internally, saving us time with meetings, and helping with communication internally and externally. We can assign guests to our account and they see certain things so we can collaborate with our customers efficiently and professionally through the platform. We can do simple tasks like requesting time off, as well as financials, balance sheets, customer satisfaction surveys, communication plans, risk management, and time sheets. We pretty much do everything in it. We would have a hard time using any other system now. We heavily rely on it because it works.

It helps give our customers visibility. We use the automation for automatic responses to emails. We develop forms in monday.com and embed them into our website and they can use them to submit a ticket. It helps our customers have visibility and understanding of what's going on and allows us to scale at an efficient rate without incurring a ridiculous cost.

And its scalability has been another benefit. monday.com has been able to save us time and reduce the overhead costs that would normally be associated with running a project. I've been with companies that are still managing projects out of Excel sheets and they can have a project manager only handle a handful of projects. But with monday.com, you can have a project manager manage eight different projects efficiently and effectively.

Another advantage is that the cost is predictable. You're not going to get any crazy costs as you scale, so it's a good model. We have had a good growth rate in staff and we can pay better salaries and have better benefits because our one system can do pretty much everything that would normally take three other systems to do. It integrates with everything. It has been great.

It also gives managers the information they need for decision-making. It makes it so easy to see a lot of data in one dashboard. You can stand back from data and get an overview or drill in as close as you want on it. If you want to see something as a whole, as an organization, you can do that easily. If you're trying to dial in and see specific data, that is also easy to do. You can make more informed and strategic decisions based on reliable data, knowing that it's all accurate and up-to-date. You can alter it in any way you need to, to make whatever decision you're looking to make.

While every project has its issues, monday.com has created a way for us to get ahead on a lot of things before those issues become actualized. When it comes to projects with our customers, it helps us communicate and say, "This is the risk," and we can constantly update them and say, "We're getting closer." We can set time limits on things and triggers. It has helped us mitigate risk and increased our efficiency on projects so that some of that risk doesn't even get realized. And if it does, we planned for it, we saw it coming. Nothing is taking us by surprise.

Without wanting to sound super dramatic, it has reduced project delays for us by almost 100 percent. You're never going to be able to completely eliminate some risks, but the fact that we're able to see risk coming from a mile away makes all the difference. We do IT work and professional services work for the government, which means we do a lot of planning at the beginning. A lot of the risks that are associated with the projects that we do are supply-chain related. They're very common. The risks in our projects are very repetitive. 

It has really created visibility across the board so that we don't get blindsided by anything. And if we do, monday.com still supports us through it. If we get blindsided by a risk or a discrepancy on our project, we can use monday.com to help manage it and do "lessons learned". We can look back at historical data and see what happened, what triggered it, and adapt and move forward from it, making tweaks here and there to our templates or adding something to our risk registrar management tool.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features for us are the 

  • automation
  • scalability 
  • ease of access—the low-code, no-code part
  • user-friendliness
  • integrations.

It's very easy to use. When we were trying to pick a system, we looked at Asana, Jira, and other platforms, and they were very cluttered. But monday.com is very user-friendly. As a user, everything is very clear. You don't need to be too tech-savvy to understand it and it's very easy to pick up on and learn.

We're primarily an IT company, but we do have some non-tech staff. We developed the platform in the beginning and templatized everything. That means we're able to create workflows and create diagrams for workflows, making it very easy to understand. The automation helps by taking the guesswork out of a lot of things and that makes it very easy for anybody, at any level of technical experience, to pick it up fairly quickly.

The visuals, the way the interface is presented, are great, very user-friendly. It's quick to load. You can see the lanes everybody has and where they divide and where they overlap. Going back to the workflows, you see how everybody works together and the dependencies.

It's also customizable so that we can share a certain view with our customers and have an internal view. It's clean, it's professional, and color-coded so it makes sense. There are features that enable you to color code certain things when certain triggers happen. For example, when something financial goes negative, you can make it turn red. A lot of it is one-and-done. You templatize something and it's going to be like that every single time.

It's very flexible and very forgiving. If you mess up, it's pretty simple to go back and see exactly where you messed up, but it even creates things in a way that it's hard to mess up. The permissions it enables are great. Overall, it's just a great system.

And one of the main reasons why we did end up going with monday.com was because of the Gantt charts that it comes with. A lot of it is native and it comes with templates already created. Often, if we don't have a template that fits a certain project, monday.com's templates will be the perfect starting point. We have a choice of a number of styles when it comes to project management, including the standard Gantt chart, WBS, and agile frameworks, which help because we do sprints. All of that is native and very easy to access and use. It makes sense. You can drop and drag, create relationships and dependencies. You don't really need to know all the crazy technical aspects of project management to understand it and see what's next, what's been done versus what needs to be done.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see a little bit more versatility with the integrations that it has. It's pretty versatile as it is. We can send emails from monday.com, but when it comes to the format, we don't necessarily want to always have the monday.com logos. We want to be able to make the emails we send out from monday.com, especially if they're coming from a specific person, look like they would if they were coming from our Outlook.

Sometimes the formatting or embedding in our website gets a little weird. If that were a little bit more customizable, that would be nice. 

And being able to change the format of the forms that are used, visually, would be helpful. The forms are still great, but if they were a little bit more customizable, that would be nice.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using monday.com for almost a year now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I've never had any issues with the stability of the platform. I believe it's on AWS and it has an uptime of 99.8 percent. I've never experienced any downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's extremely scalable. That's one of the main reasons we picked it.

How are customer service and support?

I contacted their technical support a couple of times in the beginning. I didn't have any issues, and they got back to me quickly and they followed up.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Microsoft Project and another solution called VTiger before, with companies that I was with prior to starting my own company. They were confusing with a lot of moving parts. It was almost like you had to go through training just to understand them. Whenever it came to onboarding somebody, it was always a lengthy process to get them up to speed. With monday.com, it's very forgiving so you can go in and just mess around with it and figure it out.

How was the initial setup?

Once we got the licenses, I went through all the templates that it already had and went through their YouTube channel, which was very informative. I learned as I went and, after about a month, I had a very solid foundation for what I was looking to get out of it. It developed past that and now it's well-established.

Now that it's all templatized, it takes no time at all to create a new project. We created a master template when we got monday.com. Once an opportunity is won, we switch the status to "won," and that triggers a new project in a folder, and it is already templatized. We make a few tweaks here and there, which takes 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how complicated the project is. But we have a pretty solid process that we follow for just about every project. Even if we do change things, it's not by much.

Almost every solution that I've worked with offers templates, so creating new projects with them is very similar, but a key difference is that when we do have to make those changes, the relationships are still easily established with monday.com. If we get a project that is not what we normally do, if it's something completely different, we can support it and still get the right data without needing to revamp or create something completely from scratch. We just alter whatever we need to alter and it's there.

Our monday.com admins can do whatever they need to do, including adding other users, guest users at no cost, and as many viewers as we want, at no cost, because we have the Pro licensing. In terms of deployment, it's very easy and straightforward. We have it templatized and it's all automated, so we don't have to think about the deployment part of it. It does it for us already.

In terms of maintenance, depending on what I'm doing for dashboards, sometimes I need to go in and establish a relationship, but it's just a matter of connecting a board for the data transfer. But I don't have to do updates or any sort of maintenance on that side of it.

What was our ROI?

We have absolutely seen return on our investment. People can handle more projects without overextending themselves, getting burnt out, and without being overwhelmed.

There is also a return on investment from the hours saved.

And the ratio of revenue to how much our licenses cost us is significantly in our favor.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it.

If we need more licenses, we know exactly how much that's going to cost us and our licenses go further thanks to the scalability. The cost for monday.com is predictable and we don't ever need another system. If we ever get to 1,000 employees, we know exactly how much it will cost us to have those licenses.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did trials of five different project management software tools. Aside from monday.com, I tried Asana, Jira, Microsoft Project, and Zello. monday.com took the cake against all of them, primarily because of the user-friendliness and ease of access.

Anybody with any skill level would be able to use monday.com and be efficient. You don't necessarily have to be a project manager to use monday.com. You can be in any type of position and it will make it more efficient. We're able to do HR and finances in it. Whatever the work you do, it can be transitioned easily into monday.com and easy to figure out.

What other advice do I have?

Have a clear understanding of what you're looking to get out of a system. monday.com makes more sense when you have a clear idea of what you're looking to get out of it. You're not going to be able to take advantage of all of it and there could be other systems that are going to better suit your needs. But monday.com is a really good system when it comes to being able to scale, manage your costs, and still focus on customer satisfaction.
