Featured Reviews

Laura Oosterbroek - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Markting at Vanderkamp
Easy to use, efficient marketing automation and CRM tool
AI is upcoming, so for reporting and dashboarding, it would be nice to have some AI integrated into the system. Overall, some AI features can be added. For example, I can ask, like, we have imported conversion rates, and you can ask like, "What is the trend of the conversion of the last half year?" So, more on a reporting side you can get those kinds of AI skills. Not that you have to download an Excel and put it into another AI system to do the analysis, but that it would be possible to do it on its own.

Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ActiveCampaign is for medium-sized companies is the better solution because it’s way less complex than the other solutions."
"There are a lot of features and once you understand how to use them, it's quite easy to get the benefit out of them."
"I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
"The most valuable feature of Monday.com is the ability we have to customize it to suit all of our needs."
"I love that Monday.com has boards that can change with a click from a list, to a calendar, to a form that you can send and collect data, etc."
"I am able to add in deadlines and filter by work assigned, in progress, and completed."
"It's probably one of the most user-friendly platforms I've ever used."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
"I especially like the dashboards where you can combine info from different boards into one."
 

Cons

"AI is upcoming, so for reporting and dashboarding, it would be nice to have some AI integrated into the system."
"I would like to see Monday.com create a Work Package Template which could be created and adjusted as per each project but could also be amended via an app on site should this be required."
"We often have problems with bugs and slow service."
"The solution could be improved by adding more plugins for Adobe (not just Photoshop) and adding a plugin for Discord."
"The solution shouldn't let the system directly pull out Outlook (the Windows default mail system) whenever we click on an email address."
"It would be helpful to have a direct comparison table/spreadsheet for Monday.com versus Asana and the many other project management software platforms."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"Email notifications from Monday.com can sometimes not lead to the relevant update I am being notified about, which can be frustrating."
"I would enjoy my own personal board on Monday that only I can see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The development costs are lower because you don’t have to have consultants changing and all that stuff."
"I am using its free version."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
