"The subitems make it crystal clear what tasks are done, in progress, or complete."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."

"The board customization is an incredibly valuable feature."

"The customization ability of Monday is unmatched."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"The template library is huge. I have a few suggestions with respect to that. But to complete automation, I think a bit more documentation around that would be really helpful because there are a lot of features in that which common people explore them less"
"The product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."
"The tool has changed the syncing time between the tables which has affected our multiple systems. I would like the product to add more calls per second to the API. It also needs to improve data storage. The tool starts to have problems after having huge amounts of data."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."

"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."
"Maybe they could improve a bit more on how to connect with other apps - especially for CRMs like Hubspot."
"We would love it if the system could communicate with our accounting system, QuickBooks."
"The pricing is a bit steep, and it's built on tiers rather than incremental users (not ideal for a small company that's adding people slowly)."

"The site could load a bit faster."
"Having more integrations for different specialties that use Monday would be great."
