Helps us to implement and understand the status of our projects
The initial setup is straightforward. The solution's deployment takes around two months time. We have to set up the solution. We have to put in the data to ensure that the solution is working. We need to fill out our process, our tools, and our data. Two developers were involved in the deployment process. It is a self-maintained solution that requires updates from time to time. I rate the setup an eight out of ten.

Centralized workflows have boosted cross-team collaboration and made complex projects manageable
monday.com can continue to improve their AI capabilities. When comparing monday.com to several alternatives when I was evaluating a project and project management, product road mapping, and workflow management platform for us, I looked at competitors such as Asana, ClickUp, SmartSheet, Airtable, and Notion. In my opinion, competitors such as Airtable and SmartSheet, especially followed by Asana and ClickUp, have worked on their AI and generative AI roadmap to combine database functionality with a very user-friendly interface for knowledge management and project tracking, essentially combining both worlds. Their AI is more sophisticated than what monday.com has released thus far. They provide a cleaner task-focused workflow management platform and I think that monday.com can still improve on this core piece of their technology. I think monday.com could also seek to be more process-oriented and intuitive. Other alternatives such as Asana and SmartSheet offer that approach. There is a steeper learning curve to learn monday.com in my opinion compared to Airtable, Asana, and others because I have also used those tools and platforms at other organizations. There is a bit of a learning curve with new users on monday.com because it is not as streamlined as I have experienced with competitors such as SmartSheet or Airtable. The capability sets are great, however, you may need to be hand-held via a monday.com rep when you get started within your organization or view the library of tutorials that monday.com has available. You can also view them on YouTube and that will help you get started on monday.com.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend trying planningIT"
"ERP approach to IT (edit architecture elements as data using forms, easier for many people compared to drawing / modeling) Hundreds of predefined reports (not only for analysis but also for displaying profiles for single elements like an application including dynamically generated diagrams based on edited data) Very sophisticated meta model (dozens of man years of experience condensed in it) Enterprise collaboration features Web client for the enterprise, either on-site installation or running in a private cloud."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"My personal experience with the product was good, primarily because of the support team's responsiveness."
"Shareable boards with external partners and a couple of automations are valuable. I also like the simplicity or the clarity of the platform, and how it's a one-stop shop for everything rather than having multiple spreadsheets and folders."
"I am not sure how we would be able to function without using Monday.com on an every day basis."
"Monday.com is full of great features which enable collaboration and strategic execution of projects."
"It's nice that there's a single point of truth for all of our projects."
"There are many incredible features, however, the ability to tag each other in comments, mark out progress, and get alerts through the app keeps us moving forward."
"The ability to track dates and times we need cases to be completed has been of great use to my firm."
"Monday has helped us track our open projects, and complete projects more efficiently for our marketing and sales teams, it also provides visibility into the work we are doing and the cycle time from when a project is opened to when it is marked as completed."
"Monday.com is basically our office now."
 

Cons

"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"Only few predefined integrations with other tools exist, most integrations are implemented via an integration module based on XML typically needing vendor expertise."
"The tool is clearly not very intuitive."
"Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."
"Perhaps a direct interface integration with social media channels would be ideal."
"Monday.com can be improved by becoming even more simplistic in settings/layout."
"The user communication aspect could be improved."
"Another aspect of Monday that I'm not such a fan of is the infinite scroll to the right."
"The solution could improve messenger-based communication with clients in CRM."
"I feel like we experience system outages (where we can't load Monday.com at all, or things are lagging because of system issues) more with Monday.com than we did with Trello, our previous project management solution."
"Not a suitable solution for complex projects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."
"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."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"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."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
