"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"With Monday, everything is just one click away."
"The automation makes moving items around the boards easier and saves us time."
"The possibility of having multiple boards is indeed a great feature that allows us to see the many projects (and their progress) at a glance."
"I like monday.com's automation capabilities the most, but the reporting is also excellent. Jira and our other tools provide decent reporting, but monday.com adds another layer. We can drill further down into processes, problems, and issues. These reports have helped us to control our sales funnel."
"The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners."
"Microsoft Project has much room for improvement. The solution is still stuck where it was in 2013. Not much has changed since then. There is a lot that can be changed in the enterprise segment."
"The scalability is co-dependent on the stability of the product. We have 4000 users, and at times the product is slow."
"When you start getting into the more advanced features, it can become unstable. The more you use the advanced features, the more exposure you have to an unanticipated result. I think we need to add the Kanban Board capability to the product that would help them advance that board into the project management methodology that's being used in the industry today. Being able to depend on Scrum management is key."
"It is a traditional Waterfall-based solution, so it doesn't lend itself particularly well to Agile development. You can record Agile sprints within it, but it is not really an Agile-based product. It can store the basic information about budgets that an Agile set of work is looking to use, but that's about it."
"It needs to be more comprehensive."
"I find the setup a little bit cumbersome."
"The stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Collaboration is an area that needs improvements."
"We have always wanted to be able to perform a global search for a phone number."
"It would be so cool to have live chat with team members when needed instead of having three different apps for work-related tasks."
"The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"I wish there were better notifications and dashboard views with analytics around the status of projects, etc."
"If Monday.com could increase the refresh rate of the site, that would make things a little better."
"They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference."
"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."
