monday.com Reviews

We use the solution to manage, oversee, and collate various projects within the telecom, security and IT sectors. The projects are of a great variety and contain many stages. I assign and delegate tasks to all project stakeholders inclusive of deadline dates. When managing multiple projects of no less than 15 at any one time, this software is great to get an overview of where you are and what deadlines are upcoming. With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, this saves valuable time when preparing for project meetings

With setting up different users and tasks for each project stakeholder, when managing multiple projects the work overview board creates a clear list of what tasks are required from each stakeholder and when they are needed by. This is not only on the actual date. It is for future dates ahead as well. 

Since bringing in Monday.com and using this for all projects, all stakeholders know their roles and responsibilities - meaning that projects now run in a timely manner and are very rarely overrun. 

When working away from the office, the speech bubble for updates makes it easier to receive updates rather than via email. 

The fact we are able to set automatic deadline reminders means that we will never forget a task that could delay the project and break various project tolerances.

With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, valuable time is saved when preparing for project meetings.

Extracting individual work boards to send to each client to give them an overview and update of the status of their project saves valuable time creating individual RAID Logs.

It's vital when you are managing multiple different projects at any one time. 

I would like to see Monday.com create a Work Package Template which could be created and adjusted as per each project but could also be amended via an app on site should this be required. 

In addition, it would be good to have a signature field that clients could either sign via the app or email. This could be then utilized to sign off any jobs or acceptance once the project has been completed. 

We'd like software for all elements of project management including sign-off in one central place without the need for an additional subscription - that would be perfect. 

I've used the solution for three years.

There have been a few outages, however, it is quickly fixed.

Adding a signature field would fulfill my needs in terms of scale.

The product offers excellent customer service.

We did not use a different solution.

The initial setup is very easy.

I created and installed the solution myself.

The solution is expensive yet worth it. 

We did look at Smartsheet as well.

We primarily use the product for:

• To-do lists
• Project management
• After-sales management

We use less paper thanks to this product.

The automation capabilities are great.

It allows us to build workflows between departments.

The mirrored columns are not real columns and cannot be used as variables for notifies or other formulas.

We need fewer system outages.

We would like to be able to open Monday from a link directly in the open browser window without opening a new window - which takes too much time.

The speed of the loading process should be better.

I've used the solution for three years.

The solution has recently been unstable.

The large list loading time could be improved.

I have no such experience with technical support.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup was done by myself.

We had some help from our vendor, however, that was single questions and not a set-up training.

I've never calculated ROI since the alternative was a paper solution which we wanted to avoid at all costs.

There is no cost per single user since licensing comes in various ranges of users.

Make sure your user numbers match the range, otherwise you will end up paying too much.

We also evaluated Trello.

We use the solution as a CRM, track project progress, and keep client notes all in one place. We also use My Work to keep track of everyone's day-to-day at the company and ensure that all deadlines are met. This was a big step for us to implement.

We also use dashboards to track our most important numbers, which are revenue and sales. We also use personal to-do lists and communicate internally as a team. Half of our team is virtual, so Monday.com has been our source of communication as a whole for the entire company, which is awesome.

The product has been amazing. 

Now we can see our client data and sort by column with the data that is most important to us as a business. We can run reports with real data that allow us to take decision on a higher level. We can now also track per person their book of business, how much revenue they are managing as a whole, and, based on column data, we can run reports. 

As a company we operate on quarterly goals, so we have a board that is just to track these goals and their progress. We can run reports and it has been really great.

Integrations with Slack and integrations as a whole are wonderful. We want to use Monday.com as our source of truth. We also use automation and think it's great. When we were looking for a project management software during our sales process, Monday.com really stood out because of these features. 

We want to be efficient and this software has allowed us to do that. The insights tabs are also amazing. Again, we can run reports on those and make higher-level decisions and see data per person on specific metrics.

The solution offers more integration features with Hubspot and more options to connect within boards. We love using My Work, however, there are also limited capabilities within boards. My Work cannot be connected to specific line items in boards or subtasks, and therefore it is currently causing a gap in communication with our team. 

An area that can be explored, similar to Salesforce, is a task board for each client. I'm not sure that this will be ideal for everyone. However, in our case, we use Monday.com as both our CRM and project management software.

I've used the solution for over a year.

The stability is great.

The scalability is great.

Technical support is great.

Positive

We did not work with a different solution.

The initial setup was good.

We handled the solution's set up in-house.

We've seen a 3X ROI.

We did look at Salesforce and Hubspot (we have Hubspot right now - just as another source).

We have more capabilities to send email templates within each task. We have workflows and we would love to have white-labeling services since we have client-facing boards and they are confused as to what is monday.com. That is just not user-friendly for our clients.

We use Monday.com to track training project status, project, and deliverable timelines, resources, updates, and assign work. 

We also use it to track training completions (through forms) and requests for support (through forms). 

My team also uses it for personal task tracking, team task tracking, sharing of accomplishments, and dashboard summaries. We are a learning team and finding new ways of using the tool all the time. It is a helpful tool to communicate with people outside our group so they can quickly find status updates as guests.

Monday.com has allowed me as a manager to stay up-to-date on team training project status and get real-time updates about issues. It saves me from having to interrupt my team to get simple answers I can look for myself. 

We are able to be more organized as we use it to organize our training schedule and coordinate our communication launches and quarterly planning schedules. 

Monday.com makes it easy to understand the new features and so they are easy to implement so we find new uses for it all the time. The visual nature of the boards makes them easy to understand.

I really like the forms option. It allows us to collect the information we need from our customers upfront without having to speak with them first and it makes the process more efficient. Once the form is completed, the information automatically compiles into a board making the assignment of tasks very easy. 

We have also been able to use the form option to track self-paced learning course completions for smaller projects to ensure the required people are completing their training. 

It also works well for data collection. 

I wish that you could have different columns for each of the groups on one board. 

I wish that you could turn off the sub-item menu if you accidentally enabled it. 

I'm unclear about the notifications feature in that I receive way too many emails. 

I've had requests for once an item is created that it duplicates on another board and automatic updates to both items if they are linked. 

I really like, however, how new features are sent out all the time so I can slowly learn more and more.

We used the solution for two years.

We previously used Excel. It was not working well.

I don't manage this area.

I did not evaluate other options. I saw a commercial for Monday.com and I was sold.

It really a great tool that I would recommend.

We are using Monday.com to manage our projects and tasks. It gives us more ways to handle and see the overview of the projects/tasks. It helps us to track each task assigned to my colleagues. 

We also can depend on Monday.com because we have all our needs on it. Before we used to have to send files via email or USB. Now we have Monday.com and we can all share our data and information via the app. 

We are also using Monday.com to reach our deadlines and accomplish everything on time without any delay.

We improved a lot. We are now organized in all of our tasks and schedules. It helps us to be more professional in our work. Every task will be monitored well. Our bosses can now see all our tasks without asking us personally. By use of Monday.com, we can track the tasks and projects we are assigned and we are able to accomplish every single task on time. 

We really enjoy using Monday.com now. It helps us as a company to really get organized and manage all our workloads by using only one single app.

The date, timeline, and task management features are great. They are really useful to track every project we made and we are able to work on time without any delay. 

We are using the date to put the deadline date of each task we are assigned to. 

We use timeline to keep us on track of how many hours or days we need to accomplish tasks or a project. 

Task management helps us to easily manage our time and tasks and keep us up to date on all the tasks they assigned to us. Also, the sub-item functions also help us to dissect each task that we have. 

The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement. Sometimes it is hard to manage the GUI of the Monday.com. We are getting confused about the menus, and other functionalities as well. 

For the 3rd party apps, it would be perfect if we will have a connection for some 3rd party apps like Facebook Ads or Google Ads. Something to help us manage these apps on Monday.com will be perfectly awesome. Also, they need to add a function where we can save a template of a group. We are always duplicating a group and we don't want to include any updates and comments.

I've been using this software for two years.

The stability is very impressive and our files are secured 100%.

The solution is the perfect fit for our work related needs. 

We haven't talked to the customer service and support. You just need to learn and get used to using this tool and you will be fine.

Positive

This is the first solution we used. 

The setup is complex but not too complex. 

We implemented the solution in-house.

We've seen ROI in self gained and self-improvement KPIs. It helps us to work efficiently and well.

I'd advise users it's better to use the standard package first to check it out if it's for first-time use. You can always upgrade to an enterprise package, which will give you more services.

We also looked at Zoho solutions.

This is the best task/CRM solution we ever had. It's the best tool for any startup company to get used to it. It is 100000% not a waste of money.

We use the solution mainly for project management. We use it as a system for our project managers and for our customers. This gives us, on the one hand, an overview on a high level across all projects, and, on the other hand, a detailed view of the specific project. 

As a result, each role in the team has an instant view of what's going on and what individual tasks are required. Thus, nothing is forgotten anymore and double work has been drastically reduced. The number of emails has also been reduced.

With Monday.com, in the area of project management, we have a daily updated overview of current and upcoming projects. Each individual can make their own focused contribution through the assignments and interaction options, such as commenting and tagging.

The direct involvement of the customer in ongoing project management is also possible. This can make communication more targeted and can speed up approval procedures. For this purpose, a sufficient guest function with permission setup is offered by Monday.com in some plans.

A maximum of insights can be generated from a single data set with the help of different views and connections to other data sets. The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners. The numerous different views and filters cover the typical use cases in the project management area. In combination with the dashboard, reporting to internal and external stakeholders is ensured. Other tools can also be integrated via the API, making Monday.com a core enterprise tool.

An important point of improvement is the subitems. These are essential in everyday project work and not every comparable tool has this function. However, the functions of the subitems are not yet developed enough. For example, they are not fully compatible with all automation. They are also still limited in the area of dashboards. However, further functions will likely be added here successively through regular updates.

The export options are also not yet flexible and comprehensive enough. Although some things have been done here, all too often you have to rework things after the export.

We have been using Monday.com for about two years.

It's a basic system for me to keep tracking what is happening in my project at a high level. If I don't know and want to go in deep and check exactly what is happening, I use Monday as an overall picture for my monthly projects, let's say.

It's great for providing a general overview of projects in one snapshot. 

The initial setup is easy.

It's quite a stable product.

Monday has a lot of space, let's say, for improvement. Especially when you create a new board. The board is like a new project; it's called "board". When you create a new board, you add everything manually. It doesn't come with a template by default. If you want to change the status of your task, you should change it manually. Even changing the date is manual. If you have an update on the project, or if the project closed or went away, all the dates are added manually. This is time-consuming if you are comparing it with Jira. In Jira, when you open a task, the date is read automatically, which is easier. On Monday I need to add it manually.

The solution really needs to offer templates. That would be very helpful. 

I'd like to be able to add different panels under the same project. For example, at the moment I can create groups, which is fine, however, all of them include the same columns. I cannot have them in group one, five columns, and in group two, three columns due to the fact that it's under the same project, under the same board.

I've used Monday only for the last couple of months. It's been four or five months now.

The product has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have about 15 people on our team using the solution. 

I've never had the need to contact Monday's technical support team and therefore cannot comment on how they are to deal with. 

I also work with Jira.

I found the initial setup to be simple and straightforward. It's easy. It's not complex. 

My understanding is that it is open-source. There is a standard installation fee, however, in regards to users, it's free.

I'm not sure of which version of the solution I'm using. 

I'd advise a new user to try to create a few projects as an example before you create a real one. It's a little bit complicated and I'm not aware if there's a manual to read or find out how to properly do the setup of a project. If a new user tries to create a few examples before they start, it will help them get comfortable with Monday.

I would rate the solution six out of ten. I'm always comparing. Monday and Jira are both for project management solutions. Comparing it with Jira, Monday doesn't have as many features or abilities. It's a very basic program. You cannot create Casper flows or create automated approval or check the availability of your team based on your resources. It gives you an overall picture, the high-level picture, of your tasks and that is basically it.

Our use case is tracking tasks within a project.

It has exposed people to tracking tasks in a software solution versus on paper or in Excel. It provided for automatic reminders, like a tickler file. It provided dashboards for executives so they could look at a quick snapshot of the status of a project and the necessary security to only have certain people have access to it.

What I've found the most valuable is that you can set up a project quickly and track and retract information very easily.

It would be great to see additional automation rules and have varied fields per subcategory.

It could have a few more features when it comes to managing projects.

I have been using monday.com for a couple of years probably. 

Performance has been good. Stability has been good. I haven't lost any data, which is fine.

I assume it is very scalable. I have not run into any limitations. We have about 70 users across different departments. 

I think they respond pretty promptly. If I remember correctly, they have 24/7 support and you can get an answer or get in touch fairly quickly.

The company was not using anything previously but I use Microsoft Project. I introduced monday.com in our organization because I needed a solution that would be readily accepted. People will hesitate to use anything complex. 

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

We deployed in-house. Deployment took about 20 minutes. 

Just evaluate it and try not to compare it to higher end products that will cost you a lot more money.
