monday.com Reviews

This initiation of a systematic approach allowed me to seamlessly track progress and engage in efficient communication with the project lead. The structured workflow enhances visibility and fosters a collaborative environment, reinforcing the symbiotic relationship between my role as a designer and the leadership provided by the project lead. This deliberate coordination on monday.com by streamlined processes and heightened productivity ensures that the design projects unfold with precision and creativity.

monday.com has significantly enhanced our organizational efficiency and collaboration. The platform serves as a centralized hub where design briefs are assigned to me every day. This feature streamlines communication with the project lead, enabling real-time updates and fostering a transparent workflow. The visual nature of monday.com ensures that project timelines and task statuses are easily trackable, contributing to improved project management.

The platform's interactive interface has facilitated seamless communication and reduced the likelihood of misunderstandings, creating a more cohesive work environment. Additionally, the ability to attach files and leave comments directly on tasks has streamlined the exchange of information, making collaboration more efficient.

The most valuable features of monday.com for our organization are undoubtedly the dashboards, checklists, calendar functionalities, and file-sharing capabilities. Dashboards serve as a visual command center, offering a comprehensive overview of project progress, deadlines, and key performance indicators. This visual representation enhances decision-making and facilitates a quick understanding of the project landscape.

Checklists play a pivotal role in task management, allowing for a structured approach to project execution. The ability to create, edit, and update checklists within the platform ensures that team members stay organized, tasks are completed in a systematic manner, and project timelines are adhered to.

While monday.com has been an invaluable tool for our organization, there are areas where improvements could enhance user experience. Specifically, expanding pulses could be more user-friendly. Currently, users need to click on a small text line to expand pulses, which can be somewhat cumbersome. A more intuitive approach would be to enable users to click on the entire table cell for pulse expansion. This modification would streamline the process, making it more accessible and reducing the risk of oversight.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to consider incorporating features that enhance the platform's customization capabilities in the next release. Providing users with more options to tailor their boards, dashboards, and views would contribute to a more personalized and adaptable user experience. This could include advanced formatting options, customizable templates, or the ability to incorporate additional data visualization tools.

I have been using monday.com for about four to five years

We previously used Trello, however, have found monday.com to have a greater product offering.

We are a digital marketing agency and we were using monday.com as a platform to set up our projects and our clients.

The document sharing was very useful and a feature that really helped us to easily create and share documents freely in our team and with our clients. We could create a document in monday.com and share it with a client and they could also access and edit it at the same time. Overall, it was easier to collaborate as a team. Tasks weren't under the radar. The simplicity made it very helpful for us.

We have different clients for whom we do digital marketing. We could track reports and see which tasks had been done and which had not been done. We could also plan the tasks we should focus on ahead of time, the ones that were crucial. We had that in one dashboard and could track progress from onboarding to finalizing the project. That was a day-to-day use of monday.com which was really helpful.

With the platform that we were using before, we couldn't do that. We had to have another tracking system just to clock in on our tasks and record how long the tasks took. With monday.com everything was put together. We didn't have to purchase an additional service, which saved us costs and time.

The most valuable features are the way we could easily add tasks and track the timelines of tasks through a Gantt chart. That made it easier for us to see which crucial tasks were finished. It kept us aware of what tasks we have to do and which tasks were coming up. We could see, when we did onboarding of a client, each and every step that was put in place.

Monday.com was pretty easy and simple to use. Before it, we were using Basecamp and tasks could get forgotten and were not easy to track. monday.com made it easier for us to track our tasks in a timely manner.

The visuals were another of the good aspects. The colors and appearance made it way better than the other user interfaces that we used. The visuals were very helpful. The color combinations were very nice. Other platforms that we used, like Basecamp, didn't have all the visuals that monday.com had. It only had one visual, and you could change colors here and there. But monday.com made it very simple and very attractive.

A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of. Within our team, there were different departments and sometimes we received notifications that were not really for us. They would be about a project that we were all in, but we wouldn't want to receive notifications from that project because we did not work directly on that part. If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference.

Our company is based in Cape Town, but I work remotely in Pretoria. We also have workers who are overseas. Our content team is in Canada and most of our clients are from Canada and the US, while some are local.

We could easily get a hold of the support team. They were always friendly and very helpful when we were stuck and gave us different options for us to move forward. It was very easy and we could get assistance at any time.

We attended webinars that provided us with different tactics on how to use monday.com. That was very impressive because with other platforms we never had webinars or conferences in which they showed how different projects could be done.

Neutral

We used ClickUp and we used Basecamp before that.

monday.com was very straightforward. Even our clients could easily use it. The reason we moved to monday.com was that our clients were struggling to track things on Basecamp. monday.com was very easy and we found that we could work directly with our clients, collaborate and share documents very easily.

To create new projects using monday.com we had a systematic structure, so it was very easy. It was just a matter of finding what we needed to get ready and which documents were required. For onboarding, it would take us 20 minutes, maximum, to get our onboarding documents and send them to the client directly.

As long as we had added the client on the platform, we could easily communicate with them directly, and all the communication could be tracked as well. The client was able to easily integrate into the system and we didn't have to send emails.

It was easier, with monday.com, to create a new project than it was with our older solutions because we didn't have to send additional emails after we had integrated the client. With our other solutions, in some instances, we had to send emails separately to clients to follow up. But in monday.com, the clients could respond quite quickly because they could easily understand what was expected of them and what to expect from us, in a very simple and straightforward dashboard.

There was definitely a return on investment, even though it was a little bit pricier. The fact that we didn't have to purchase additional platforms to help us meant we saved a bit of money. We didn't have to pay for a time-tracking platform, which Basecamp, for example, didn't have.

The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp.

We evaluated ClickUp. We were using Basecamp and then we tried to use ClickUp but we found we preferred using monday.com. With ClickUp, there were things here and there that we were still not getting right, so we ended up using monday.com.

Maintenance is required when we assess challenges to make things easier to use and to integrate additional clients.

If you're looking for a platform where you can have an overall view of the progress of different projects, monday.com is an easy platform to use and you can track everything in one place. Everything is clearly set up for you to understand and see what comes next. It made it easier for us as a team to prepare on time and understand what the coming tasks were. If you want to simplify and track your work, monday.com is definitely the platform to use.

One of my customers is in the US and they wanted an integration of monday.com with QuickBooks. At that time, it was not available, not on the monday.com marketplace or in the monday.com native integrations. But I did it through custom app development and they were very happy with that. It was quite useful for them because they could easily generate invoices from the monday.com platform and an invoice would automatically be generated in their QuickBooks system.

If you implement things correctly, the entire team uses the platform and gets the benefit from it. It saves a lot of time. If they want to shoot out an email from monday.com, we can create an automation for that. For example, if the status of something changes, an email can be sent from the platform itself.

It also gives you visibility into the entire project and what phase your project is going through. This is what the reporting is all about. You get the complete analysis of a certain project, so for making decisions about project management, I would not give it less than an eight out of 10.

In terms of reducing project delays, the best part is that there is a widget in the monday.com dashboard that gives you insights into the project. It shows whether it is moving along and how many days are left, because we have given a timeline for the project. The platform calculates how much your project is at risk of missing the deadline. If it is at risk, management can decide to take certain actions. I would give it 10 out of 10 on this aspect. You can certainly reduce the risk by 20 to 30 percent.

From the user's perspective, and even for me as an implementation consultant, one of the most valuable features is the integration of different platforms with monday.com. In addition to that, the real-time reporting from the dashboards is also valuable, as is the ability to customize it. You can customize the dashboard according to your requirements and group things the way you want them. You can structure it per your requirements. The flexibility of the customization is most important on monday.com.

The solution's interface is fantastic and easy to use. This is quite a plus for monday.com, because the interface is quite user-friendly. Anyone can come onto the platform, analyze things, and start using the platform. And for viewing projects and timelines, it's a nine out of 10.

I have had customers whose requirements are so complex that we could not implement them on the monday.com platform. We have said to them, straight out, that it was really not possible on monday.com due to some of the restrictions of monday.com. The solution keeps evolving over time and I'm sure that we are going to overcome all the challenges that we have right now.

There are features that should be part of the monday.com platform. Because I am also part of the monday.com expert community, I keep on posting things, and I keep on doing boards for new features that most of the community members want to have.

One important feature that would help is if you store a file on monday.com and you want to email a message to someone along with that particular file, monday.com does not send the actual attachment, but a link to the file where monday.com has stored it. You can click on that link to read the file. But the link expires after no more than 10 or 15 days. I overcame the problem by integrating monday.com with Make.com. The process downloads the attachment from the link on monday.com and then sends it as an actual attachment so that it doesn't lapse. If monday.com could do that, it would be a good feature.

I've been using the solution for over three years.

I generally implement the solution for the users. I provide services to clients around the globe and I integrate and manage different applications in PaaS as well. If there is a requirement for a custom app development I also do that.

I started my career as a developer but the organization that I was working for partnered with monday.com for the North American region. They gave me an opportunity to switch to this platform because I had an interest in it and, at that time, it was very new to everyone. Even I was not aware of what the tool was about. I grabbed the opportunity, did my certification and all my research from the monday.com articles and documentation on their website, including the API documentation.

It's a stable platform.

It's quite scalable.

Their support is good.

Positive

Most of the time, the initial setup is straightforward.

It can be complex when you have to design the layout of monday.com, such as whether you want the information related on a single board or you want to bifurcate it on two boards. It can also be complex to design what the boards are going to look like and what kind of interaction there will be between boards.

The number of staff required for deployment depends on the complexity of the project. If custom app development is involved, then a team will work on that. Otherwise, I can usually do it myself. One person for a project is enough if there is no integration or custom development involved.

The solution doesn't really require maintenance, other than if you include renewal of the licenses. But, as time passes, you may have changes in requirements and what you want to implement. In that case, if there is custom development, there is that kind of maintenance.

The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com.

However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals. People are now coming to the technology and learning monday.com skills. But when I started, I believe I was very one of the few monday.com professionals in India. That's the reason the rate is so high for monday.com implementers.

monday.com is divided into two server regions: One is based in the US and the other is in Europe. When you deliver a solution to the customer, the customer has to buy a license and gets his own domain or account, which is already deployed on the cloud. 

If we refer a customer to monday.com, we will get a commission. That is how the monday.com partner channel works.

I was going to use Asana, because a customer from the US, a very large healthcare organization, wanted to migrate data from monday.com to Asana. When they reached out to me and said that they want to make that move, I was shocked because monday.com was doing so great. I asked why they wanted to move. They said they were not happy with the platform. They were not initially my customer. When I went through Asana, to be honest, I found it more difficult to use than monday.com. The user interface of Asana is not so clear or user-friendly, compared to monday.com.

monday.com is not difficult to use, but you would require training and certification to implement things on your own. As an implementer, what is more important is that your analytical abilities should be strong enough to analyze the customer's requirements, what they want and how you are going to proceed with the implementation of monday.com. Anyone can come to the platform, create a board, and create the columns, but it's the consultant's responsibility to analyze the customer's requirements. You should have training or certification. Without that, I don't think you'd be able to implement the complex solutions.

The time it takes to create a new project using monday.com totally depends on the requirements and the complexity. Integrating monday.com with different applications will take more time.

My advice would be to do a proof of concept first. It depends on the requirements of your organization, but I would definitely recommend monday.com. But, be careful to go with a good implementation consultant. You may go to a consultant and say, "This is the solution that we want," but he implements a simple solution and charges you heavily, and there is still a problem in your system. So be very careful about choosing your implementation consultant.

In our advertising agency, we use Monday to collaborate, schedule tasks, share items, and coordinate among the team. 

It's a solid solution that allows us to create a more streamlined workflow and connect in an organized way with clients. 

With Monday.com we're also able to share deliverables and get them reviewed or approved by clients keeping everything in the same place. 

The software is used also to coordinate among Collaborating Professionals that can have access to specific boards and have tasks assigned there.

The Monday.com software solution has improved our ability to get things done in an organized and streamlined way. 

Every task can be set, scheduled, and assigned with easy access. The UI is simple but at the same time strong enough to provide ease of use with many levels of detail that can be added progressively.

The Monday.com software also improved our ability to connect with clients in a very organized and detailed way: clients can leave comments on topics and change task status, those aspects together with the notification system combine into a great solution.

The notification system is well done. 

The UI is very easy to use and improves progressively. 

The templates provided also are a great resource. The items are well displayed in many kinds of display resolutions which can vary from ultra-wide screens to 13" notebooks. The really impressive and most valuable aspect of the Monday.com software is the fact that it simply works. From past experience with other similar software that used to be fully packed with as many features as possible, with Monday.com you can create really tailor-made working boards.

There aren't so many areas in which the software from Monday.com could improve. 

The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration. 

The ability to preview Google Drive links that are strictly connected to images, videos, or text files could be a huge improvement for those who work with a collaboration between the two software solutions. 

Also, the ability to match with the Google calendar from teammates with task assignments with visual alerts could be a great addition.

I've used the solution for two years.

The stability is rock solid.

The solution offers great scalability.

We didn't need any help from support yet.

Positive

We did use Asana, however, it had a heavy interface.

The solution is easy to set up.

We did an in-house implementation.

We have seen ROI in terms of customer satisfaction.

You can grow at your own pace. The software is great, however, it costs accordingly.

We looked into Trello, however, it was not as deeply organized as Monday.com.

I use this solution for project management and events planning. I manage a school (kids from three years to 17 years old). In my school there are more than 1200 students and 80 teachers, so it has been hard to organize them all. We use the Google Suite, however, we needed a tool to manage the projects and plan the events.

We also use it to organize the documentation we need to have to achieve our quality standards. As we can have a clear view of what we have and what we do not; we realize in what areas we have to work harder.

It has helped me to organize the important things, projects, and events in a better way. We have bought ten accounts for the managers, so we are connected and working on the projects. We would like to integrate all of our collaborators but it is expensive. 

Since we started to use Monday, we have been able to have a clear view of how organized we are, we have created a board for the important things that the school has to do. We assign responsibilities for each activity and they receive an email about it, it is awesome. 

The most valuable tools I have found on Monday.com are the calendar, automatization, and the capabilities to link apps like Google Forms. We have been able to integrate our Google Suite to Monday. 

It is also good to receive reminders about projects and deadlines. Besides that, it has been not hard to learn how to use it. I really love the integrations, we use Integromat to link our Google Forms to Monday. 

It is also a great app for desktops and cellphones. 

I have found many good options to organize my time, my projects, and my events.

It should be cheaper. 

It should have more options to create panels.

It should also have options to share the boards or some info directly to Gmail. 

In premium accounts, the amount of transactions allowed is so low. We have not been able to integrate more apps due to this limitation. 

There is not enough information in Spanish. Most of my users do not speak English. It has been hard to learn to use all the functions.

I would also want some plans with fewer permissions. Maybe they could have access to just one board so that accounts could be cheaper. We have 80 teachers and we need that they are enrolled in just one board. We do not want to pay just for one board. 

I've used the solution for two years. 

We have not had problems with the solution. There have just been some crashes on my iPad.

I really like that we can grow as much as we want. The only bad thing is the price.

It has been good. I have written two times and I have received good and quick answers.

Positive

I did not use a different solution. We use the Google Suite, however, it is not the same. It does not have a management tool.

There is not enough information in Spanish; the tutorial videos were not so clear, however, it is easy to use it.

I implemented the product by myself.

The ROI of using this app has been 4 to 1 as we have optimized our work.

I always say it is expensive, yet it is worth it, especially if you run a company with many projects and events.

We evaluated Asana, however, we did not like it at all. We also tried ToDo app, however, it was not enough.

There should be cheaper plans with fewer options and maybe with access to one board or something like that.

The primary use case for the solution is to plan our projects and to put pipelines in place for all the project participants to make sure that everyone is within the plan and making great contributions to the project. 

We start our plan using the Agile approach to set our goals and tasks with the plan that already includes some phases and steps to make sure that the goal is achieved successfully and within the planned timeline.

The user interface of Monday.com is very friendly and easy to use. It's simple to assign tasks to my colleagues.

Monday.com improves our work within the organization by automating our work and making it friendly and easy to use in order to achieve our goals.

We have integration with third-party applications and can send notifications through email to the participants - making the application very interactive and keeping the project members up to date with the latest on the project and the plan.

Monday.com saves time by automating the work through the pipelines. The features are drag and drop. You can see the status for each task easily.

The most valuable features that I loved with Monday.com are:

• Notifications
• Task status and project status
• Monday.com colors are friendly to the eye
• I can task assign to my colleagues
• The screen size works with others and there is easy sharing of images and documents
• Automation and set up of automation is done in seconds and leaves your routine tasks in the dust
• Integration with other applications such as MS Outlook.com, MS Excel, Slack, Google Drive, LinkedIn.com, Dropbox, and One Drive is great
• Monday workdocs for workflows are helpful

There is nothing to dislike about Monday.com. 

There are some new features they need to improve within the application. For example, it would be awesome if we had some themes for each project and for each user.

If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great.

It would be nice to make a plan according to the historical data that Monday.com has already stored that's related to the user and the company.

I've used the solution for more than two years.

The stability is awesome.

The scalability is fantastic.

Technical support is professional.

Positive

I didn't use a different solution previously.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did the setup through a vendor team.

We saw an ROI within three months.

Monday.com is the best solution with a great price.

I didn't evaluate other options previously.

I own a 3D design studio in Belgium and work with several clients in Belgium and the Netherlands. My team consists of 12 3D artists and three project managers. 

We work on up to 30 projects at the same time which means keeping track of each and every project can be difficult and get very messy sometimes. That's why we use a tool like Monday to keep a good overview of each project and in which phase each project is. 

We track the next deadline, the amount of previews that our client has already gotten, extra notes, etc. Basically, it helps us to be organized and never have a project fall out of sight.

Monday has given us a clear overview of all our projects as well as all our tasks.

We write down to-do lists for the other managers so they know what's a high priority and a less high priority. We can also see which task has been done which is super handy.

We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing. Is the project ready or still in review. Now I can just look on Monday and see what is going on internally. We save a lot of time with this.

We also have integrated Monday into many other systems like Airtable and Stacker and built a whole system around it to make our lives so much easier.

The most valuable feature of Monday is that we have a clear overview of what is actually going on in our company.

I can see in which phase a project is and what the next deadline is as well as if the project is on hold or almost done. 

Each project is categorized between the different 3D renders that get ordered and we can keep track of each individual render step-by-step. 

When I am away my other colleagues can check the Monday board and find the status of each project that I have been working on. The note option makes it very convenient to leave little remarks for my colleagues as well.

Monday could be improved if it could be linked with Google Calendar. This way, I can add deadlines directly on Monday for my whole 3D team and they can automatically see it in their Google calendars or the general calendar when their next deadline is going to be and for which project. Now we fill it in separately and it could save us a bit of time.

We also use Clockify to track the time spent on each render. Maybe it would be handy to have some type of clock or icon that shows how much time is left within the budget that the specific project got sold for.

I've used the solution for 1.5 years.

So far, we had not had any incidents with Monday.

We have an automation in place that allows us to easily duplicate setups.

A standard workflow is pre-made and it saves us a lot of time when starting up a new project.

We set up our project in Airtable and all the data gets processed on Monday automatically.

Customer service replies fast and has helped me many times.

I can't say anything bad about it.

Positive

I did not use another solution.

Standard templates were not suitable for our company after a while.

We, therefore, built a whole automated system with a professional which is quite complex to do ourselves.

We did not have any outside help. 

There is no way of directly measuring an ROI, however, it's my understanding it saves us a couple hours per week.

Monday can get expensive if you want to add a lot of members to it. Only members can change things on the board. Click-up is free, however, Monday is just much easier to work with so that's why we went with Monday.

We also looked into Trello, Asana, and Click-up.

We use the product mainly as a project management tool. We need to provide an impact report every year to different stakeholders. These reports have different deadlines and usually need the participation of several members of our organization. We are a large organization and we close several partnerships year after year, and the amount of reporting that needs to be produced and coordinated is very high. Also, these reports are crucial for the continued success of our unit.

Monday.com has helped us to automate processes and develop a space where different members of our team can communicate and share information. 

Monday.com has helped us to meet all our deadlines by allowing us to be proactive and develop the different reports way in advance. 

Monday.com is able to show us on one page all the different commitments we have in the future, allowing us to assign responsibilities and manage our resources efficiently. Ultimately, Monday.com is a tool that has improved our internal communication.

The number one feature is the ability to automate pretty much everything. This feature has allowed me to save so much time by avoiding repetitive tasks. 

I love how flexible and easy to customize it is. I have been able to build a different board for different projects, and every single time Monday.com has been able to provide the right tool to build something that works for my team. 

Monday.com is a user-friendly platform. It is very intuitive and easy to use. I am able to build new tools or boards in no time.

I have small criticisms since it's excellent and simple to use. 

I would recommend developers to continue focusing on the user experience and putting the consumer at the core of their functionality. Due to the fact that it is so comprehensive, it can be difficult to understand each functionality at times. 

The tool is beneficial for some businesses yet prohibitively expensive for others. 

Something that would be beneficial for me would be the ability to download or export many of the graphs or boards so that I can quickly share them with other colleagues who don't use Monday.

I've used the solution for two years.
