We performed a comparison between Microsoft Project and monday.com based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find all the features of the solution valuable."
"Microsoft Project integrates well with the Microsoft Office family of applications. It has plugins that interact with it and you can use it with Microsoft Teams. We can use plugins to communicate with JIRA, Projectplace, and Planview. It's not widely used in the company, of course, but it's something that can interact with the official tools that we have."
"The integration between SharePoint and Power BI has been great."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are you can create critical paths pretty easily, and you can import from an Excel spreadsheet to your task list as you create it during your working sessions with your team."
"Microsoft offers good support."
"It is easy to use and pretty intuitive. User interfaces have stayed the same for the most part for the last 20 years. So, there is a familiarity."
"The solution is well established and runs very accurately."
"The most valuable feature is the Auto resource leveling tool because it shows students that often, expert resources get over-scheduled, and that dealing with the issue by just using the auto-resource leveling tool would have a large impact on the delivery date."
"I don't go on Monday every day so being notified through email and Slack is helpful."
"Integrations such as the one for Slack have helped us receive updates on tasks immediately as they occur by other team members."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
"It works perfectly and runs very smoothly."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"File upload and communication save hunting for messages or files across devices and shared areas."
"We use also integration with Jira, to see the updates so the CSM team can see the update from Jira."
"Could be more user-friendly, and forecasting could be better."
"The solution could offer waterfall options for agile and sprint planning."
"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"It would be ideal if the solution integrated more with Azure DevOps and other work management platforms like Jira."
"Tracking timeline, resource allocation, and monitoring are areas of concern for the tool where improvements are required."
"Tech support needs improvement."
"Its user experience can be improved while configuring it. Its reporting can also be better. Reporting is not very easy. Reports do not always work. I was trying to download some reports, and they didn't work. I don't know if it was related to the configuration that I was using. I didn't go too deep to check if something was missing."
"I would like to see the inclusion of multi-currency support."
"It does have some native report widgets, but there are limitations on those. They're still building that capability out in my opinion. The reporting in monday.com is probably the weakest link, but there are third-party apps that you can add in that do some great reporting for you. You can also tie monday.com into a data warehouse and use something like Tableau, Power BI, or any reporting tool that can report out of a data warehouse to get the more in-depth reports that you need. Monday.com will get there, but it doesn't seem to be one of their top priorities."
"The mobile app is not as user-friendly and as adaptable as I'd like it to be."
"Sometimes, I had difficulty moving items from board to board and would have to move them twice to get them to successfully move."
"Once timers are cleared, there is no way to recover this data."
"Monday, the service, can be improved with even greater integration and configuration."
"I have never not found a feature I want."
"Load time and glitches do occur on the site."
"Though it offers full customizability, the table is an area where the product's performance is not quite up to the mark."
