monday.com Reviews

We use the solution for company project management and projects project management. We are a marketing agency consisting of 25 people. We are using Monday to basically manage the whole company including HR, time tracking, project management, and personal management.

I use Monday to plan and manage my personal and work tasks. We use Monday to manage our teams and also to manage projects with our clients. Basically we would not be able to operate without Monday at current moment. All of our processes are currently build around Monday.com.

Our company switched to Monday four years ago and it changed our everyday lives. We are managing our HR processes, our client's projects, and our various teams via Monday and are extremely pleased with it.

The solution helps the most with effectiveness and has great overviews to visualize our team's work. Thanks to Monday, everyone in our organization can keep up to date with all the tasks being done and we are doing it extremely effectively. We have tried several other PM solutions before without luck. The best part is, it is a good fit for everyone in our company and this does not happen often.

The tablewise approach, file management, adjustability, ability to invite clients to collaborate are all valuable aspects of the solution.

We can have different boards for different needs. Each of our team has got its own board (design, copywriters, strategists, web developers) and they manage their workload there. Each project is using its own board and everything is interconnected. 

We are using time-tracking on Monday which has changed the way we are working on projects and invoicing them. Also, unlimited storage within tasks is great thing to have as we are able to go back in history to find all materials that everyone worked on really easily.

Reliability has had issues these last few weeks. We noticed that the platform is down from time to time for several minutes.

Some boards are just buggy. For example, we are not able to see tracked times from other people and cannot add a new update. After contacting support they were unable to help. The problem is strangely happening on just one account and the only fix that we have found was to create a duplicate board where the problem looks fixed. 

Other than reliability problems we are really happy with the solution itself.

I've used the solution for four years.

It used to be stable, however, in the last few weeks we have noticed some problems with the reliability where the solution was down from time to time.

To understand the context, we have all tasks for each team set up within Monday. When we are planning a work for a team there is a meeting scheduled. When meeting starts and Monday is down, we can't really evaluate work or plan anything until it is back up. Also when a specialist is assigned a task in Monday, and Monday does not work they are unable to know what to work on. That happened several times in the last few weeks. It was not an issue before, the last two weeks or so seem okay again.

I can't really answer as to if this solution is scalable. 

Technical support is all good.

We used to use Wrike, Trello, and Asana. None of them worked for everyone or for every team and for every task. On Monday we can adjust to everyone's needs.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We handled the setup in-house.

The ROI was immediate.

New users should just go ahead and try it out. If you have been struggling in the past with PM solutions, you won't be anymore.

We did not evaluate any other solutions. 

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.

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.

We use Monday to help manage our software development projects. Its flexible boards also allow us to easily record a variety of business data. 

Monday's workspace functionality allows us to group boards by relevance. When we have a client for whom we do a lot of projects we can have a workspace dedicated to them. This also allows us to share certain boards with clients where necessary. That way they can see progress and contribute by providing information for marking tasks as complete. 

We also have some administration boards which contain sensitive business data that can be made private.

Since Monday is so flexible, it allows us to maintain projects in our own way. It doesn't force us to use a particular structure or make it difficult to add information which we find useful.

Having the ability to build what is essentially a more feature-rich spreadsheet and then pull reports from that is excellent from a reporting perspective. Using statuses allows you to enforce what information a user can enter and is colour-coded without faffing with conditional formatting. It is also possible to create formula columns and hide columns if you want to do more complex operations.

Being able to extend boards to include dashboards is very useful. We can have a board summarising an area of our business and see at a glance the status of everything going on there. Being able to build these into graphs and formulae provides good insights into progress (or lack thereof).

We have a large board which provides an overview of our business. The dashboards we have created then give us an instant oversight as to what is happening and what potentially might happen. As you can add multiple dashboards to the same board you can filter them to summarise the data from a variety of standpoints.

There are infrequent periods of downtime which can have an impact on our usage. Since we rely very heavily on Monday, when it goes down we really feel it. These happen a little too often for our liking, however, to say they happen all the time would be an exaggeration.

There are some small usability issues which can be an inconvenience. Changing deadlines often causes the date to jump or change unexpectedly. The application tries to be live so that your colleagues changes happen in real-time. This sometimes causes problems though and it gets confused, showing you old data which you've already updated yourself.

I've used the solution for around two years.

We have previously used Basecamp and ActiveCollab. Both of those are excellent products, however, Monday has more flexibility when it comes to the data we are using.

The cost is fairly high yet not unreasonable. It can take some time to set up your boards. That said, the time invested is worth it. You can also duplicate an existing board or create templates making the task near enough instant the next time you have to do it.

We looked at more general project management solutions like Trello and Jira. However, those would not suit our requirements.

Explore the range of different columns, automation, and apps available within Monday when you first start using it. It seems simple at first yet there is a lot of depth available to suit almost any of your needs.

The solution is primarily for end-to-end marketing, planning, and e-commerce sales planning. Our marketing team uses the tool to build out all of their previous job bags digitally and create visibility for cross-functional marketing teams to keep up to date with the work the teams are doing. 

Our e-commerce teams use the tools to plan mini-projects, brief digital marketing work required and obtain visibility of all the marketing activities that the teams could take advantage of. 

The primary benefit for me is visibility of all our current work.

We have gotten rid of all our paper-based systems and our marketing work is now 100% visible to anyone in our planning organization providing ultimate accountability between teams. 

The power behind Monday.com is not just the fact that the teams are now visibly accountable to each other, they are also able to build best practices and cut out checks that would be required in a manual process. For example, we used to have multiple sign-offs of work previously. Now, teams are assigned and can easily review multiple streams of work simultaneously.

There are too many valuable features to mention in detail. Most notably, the workflow automation and assignment features plus the ability to work in email too have been a game-changer for our teams. 

The email feature is very valuable as the teams work collaboratively with many agencies and this means that agencies do not have to adopt the tool completely and can still "work via email" whilst our teams continue to have the visibility they require on their tasks. 

If only there was a way for the @ feature to work properly via email.

I wish there were more calculations available across boards and pulses. 

The biggest reason this would be a valuable resource is the teams could then use the calculations feature exclusively - replacing the need for Excel. This could also create a great way to manage budgets, forecasting, actual spending, and analysis of data from our campaigns. 

The tool is used already in this way, but the calculations are way too manual which means that teams often have to resort to exporting and completing calculations outside of Monday.com.

We've used the solution for three years and five months.

The solution is stable. We have had no noticeable downtime in three years of using the tool.

The solution is highly scalable!

Technical support is very good and responsive.

Positive

We used Excel and manual paper-based systems before and moved straight into Monday.com

The setup is a five-minute process at a maximum. It's super simple.

All in-house setup was done by non-technical teams.

ROI was not a consideration for the cost of the tool. Our primary goal was workflow improvement and team collaboration with ultimate visibility.

Licensing can be expensive if you are only using it for tasking. The tool is best used when multiple teams use the tool for multiple use cases.

We did not evaluate other options.

It's a great solution and we've been very happy so far.
