monday.com Reviews

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.

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 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.

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.

We have a wide range of services that we provide from the reports that we write, Podcasts that we do, and webinars. 

We categorize each deliverable by categories, such as a research report or an infographic, or a video, or a podcast. We create a series of steps or deliverables, and we assign people to tasks within each project.

It's very granular. The good thing is that we had a lot of steps in the budget process, and in the development process. It allows you to be granular, and send each step.

They just did a reorganization of the solution. Before if you had one topic, you had to put everything you do under that topic, or under that umbrella. Now you can break things up by task. For instance, we were doing research summaries or infographics. Before, they were combined under one umbrella, and now, if you want to look them up individually, you can do that. It has been better since then.

It's not that great. It clutters your mailbox. Every time something becomes due and every time you have something due, you get an email. If you are working on several projects, you could get several reminders. For example, just today I was inundated with 15 emails reminding me, of different projects.

It's not necessarily things that are due right that minute, or you're not otherwise aware of.

While it keeps you organized, and you always have a place to look at, you can be overwhelmed. There is no way to disconnect yourself. It just appears automatically. If you have subscribed to something, you will be inundated with messages.

It's still fairly manual. If for example, I wanted to make a change such as a date, there are 10 steps to process, and if I change one, they all have to change but there is no way of doing that automatically.

We have to go and individually update each one. What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps. But, for example, there are at least 20 steps involved in producing a research summary for our research firm. If I change one step at one deadline at the start, I have to go through 19 steps and change the date manually for each one.

I have been working with monday.com for a little over a year.

We just updated to the latest version.

We are a fairly small firm and we use several different programs for project management, communication, and conferencing.

The price is reasonable for the number of users we have.

I would rate monday.com a seven out of ten.

We work in construction for an architectural firm. We do the design, and construction in an agile management system.

monday.com is easy to set up.

It is more user-friendly than others and it adapts well to different project delivery environments.

It really offers us all the tools that we need to cover the design and construction bases.

I have been working with monday.com for a month, but I also worked with it two years ago, for six or seven months for a specific project.

monday.com appears to be stable. To date, we have not had any issues.

monday.com is a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. I have reached out to the marketing team and researched on Youtube. I am really impressed.

I have worked with Asana, and have tested it on pretrials.

I have been working with Asana for three weeks. It was a bit more difficult for me to set up.

When I was trying to set it up, it was a bit more complicated, the screens were not as nice as the screens on Monday, and they are not as adaptable on monday.com. I put it aside.

In terms of pricing, Asana was the most expensive product of all.

Their free trial version doesn't give you many options, it does give you options, but not enough. There are just enough to get you interested. Once you decide on the options that you need, the price goes up quickly.

The initial setup was very easy.

I viewed some tutorials on YouTube and the tutorials were very easy to find and well done.

I am recommending it to my owners because it was really easy to setup.

In terms of pricing, it is not the cheapest.

They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference.

Fees are paid monthly per user.

I would rate monday.com a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for project management.

The product has provided our organization with improved efficiency.

The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The product is very scalable.

The solution is stable. The performance is great.

Technical support has been helpful.

The solution is very flexible.

The pricing is excellent. They make it very affordable.

The user administration needs to be improved. The user admin module could be more accessible.

We've been using the solution for two years. It's been a while.

We've had a positive experience with the stability. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability has been excellent. If we want to expand it, we can do so. It's easy.

We're up to 75 users and they include project managers, a project stakeholder team, and project team members.

We use the product extensively. However, I'm not sure if we plan to increase usage, as I'm not sure if we plan to increase users.

The technical support is excellent. They are helpful and responsive. We're very satisfied with the help they provide to us.

We moved right into Monday. It's my understanding that we didn't previously use another solution.

The initial setup isn't overly complex or difficult. It's very straightforward and quite simple.

The entire setup only takes a few hours. Deployment is fast.

The product doesn't require a lot of maintenance. It takes less than one person to manage it.

We handled the solution completely in-house. We didn't need to hire an integrator or consultant to assist us.

The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately.

There aren't any extras that you need to pay for.

We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Monday.com.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

While it is deployed on the cloud, I'm not sure which cloud service we are using.

I'd advise those considering the solution to first run a pilot project first to try it out and get to know it.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for our hiring tracker.

It helped us automate our hiring/onboarding process.

We like the traffic light system, the auto-notifications, the search function, and the filtering functionality.  

It would be great to be able to pull an activity report.

I've used the solution for one year.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

I haven't had to use technical support yet.

Positive

We primarily used Excel spreadsheets which offered less automation. 

The initial setup was simple and easy to use with clear instructions.

We handled the implementation in-house.

I don't know if we have seen any ROI.

We did not evaluate other options. 

I use Monday.com as a project management tool. It helps me to assign every single project to the different software development cycle stages and accurately track the status of each one of those projects.

As a support assistant support, helps me triage, plan, and schedule for development for every support ticket that turns out to be an issue that will be corrected.

Given the integration with different tools that we use, we don't have to spend any time looking for items and then updating them as it automatically adds information as needed.

The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage.

The first area where Monday.com helped the team is planning. Sharing a common dashboard where all the information is stored, helps answer any doubts about what everyone has to focus on each day. The different views also helps to detect any overlapping across the team members or the different projects being developed.

Losing ticket information was a huge problem as often fixed issues notifications where not sent. With automation this issue got solved.

Basically, the fact that each board inside of Monday.com is fully customizable in the element that it contains, as well as, the interaction across all of the other boards and different applications, helps solve all of the communication problems we used to have.

The different views help me as a manager properly schedule all of our projects and properly assign them to all the team members that need to be involved.

Integrations with most of the commonly used applications are a huge point in favor as well.

The iPad version of Monday.com doesn't have the same functionality. It would be great if the app have the same views as the browser or desktop app.

The split view is not available in the iPad app, complicating the workflow designed when on the move.

A way to highlight an entire row based on the content of a cell would help currently you can only change the color of a cell-based on content.

A way to have the same pulse at different boards and to both pulses to update the matching information base on updates.

I've used the solution for four years.

The stability is great.

The scalability is great.

We used MS Project and Trello. The main reason to switch was that none of the other tools gave the ability to properly reflect the company's workflow. Monday.com adapts to the company instead of the company having to adapt to the tool. This means that whatever way you company is used to work, whatever way the information flows within the company and the teams, you can create a simple board in monday.com and reflect such workflows. As an example, Trello is pure canvan, and at my company we needed to have canvan but other kind of views to have a better planning; this feature is not included there.

The price is something that you have to consider and that also includes the headaches that a tool provokes. If you weigh it, however, even with the cost of the subscription, usually you end up winning.

Yes, we did evaluate other options, however, I don't remember which ones.
