User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues. The need for…

A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects
The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
"Monday.com has provided a centralized and easy-to-use area for my team to store all of our information and collaborate together."
"The automation is great."
"Besides the boards that we use daily to organize our information, we love the survey aspect of Monday.com too."
"The ability to track dates and times we need cases to be completed has been of great use to my firm."
"I love the ability to communicate within the app itself by leaving comments."
"It works perfectly and runs very smoothly."
"The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails."
"The financial planning capabilities are very useful. We have integration for an SAP system, and so we load financial data from SAP into Planview for prior months. And then we use the forecasting capabilities to get a complete picture of the cost of a specific project. The financial management is very useful."
"In my opinion, the financial planning feature is the most valuable feature of Planview Enterprise One."
"Planview has helped connect funding and strategic outcomes with work execution. That is the key use that we have for it. We use it to validate the work that we're doing and the funding that we need. The difference between the previous version and current version for us would be the ICPM and the way it gives us different scenarios. We can go in and build that out."
"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."
"We use time reporting. We convert time reporting into financial costs and do contractor and capacity planning for our resources. We track our work. So, that's the module we use extensively. As a matter of fact, we have upwards of 300 open projects at this given moment. It is pretty close to 300 open activities that are working."
"We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that."
"Enterprise One provides a variety of types of resource assignments for assigning work to people. It's very easy and straightforward to configure these assignments. Planview allows us to see the entire workforce. We can see where our skill sets of people are, what they're working on, and allows us to make informed business decisions based on priority."
"We're still in an early stage. Things will change as we use it more. I did program reports that are important and that will provide us with value."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to consider incorporating features that enhance the platform's customization capabilities in the next release."
"It could have a few more features when it comes to managing projects."
"If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app."
"The stability could be improved."
"The solution shouldn't let the system directly pull out Outlook (the Windows default mail system) whenever we click on an email address."
"In recent months, Monday.com has been down about once a week."
"Sometimes the limit of parts on a board (500 units) can inhibit growth."
"Making adjustments to the My Work section that it includes deadlines for multiple columns on a board instead of just one would be very useful."
"The reporting is absolutely shocking. It's not good reporting and requires improvement."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made."
"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."
"The solution out-of-the-box that we established was insufficient. We had to purchase and set up OData. I don't believe that it's a great solution out-of-the-box but eventually you can get there."
"I think the capabilities are there, but it seems difficult for me to even create a report as I am not a Planview technical expert. It is not particularly intuitive. It slows us down in reporting the big picture to management."
"It is a bit of a rigid system."
"The reporting capability and access to the fields for our system administrators to have access to the data without having to pay Enterprise One to get the data that's needed to create custom reports for management to create reports need improvement."
"The outcome management and work resource management in terms of teams needs improvement. Team handling, how team requirements are generated, and how the resource managers can work with teams needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."
"We are on the Flex licenses."
"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."
"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."
"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."
"Planview is a little pricey. From a licensing perspective, for just a simple timesheet user who does nothing in the system but reports time, the licensing is a little pricey, but you have to look at it from what it is that you get. We have 6,000 users, and I don't manage the system at all. I just have to do add them to the system. The servers, maintenance, OS levels, security patching for the OS, and all other things are not something that we maintain. So, you have to look at it from an operational perspective. It is not just the product itself. A holistic view has to be taken when you look at the product and how you're going to support it. I would have to hire an entire operation staff to bring it in-house, and at the end of the day, that might cost me more."
