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

"My personal experience with the product was good, primarily because of the support team's responsiveness."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"Monday.com has allowed us to maintain a company culture and working structure while working completely remotely."
"The sub-items have been incredibly helpful."
"Monday is a big part of our entire product lifecycle, and we're launching hundreds of products a year."
"The main improvement Monday has provided is keeping all of the tasks across our boards organized and up to date."
"I have certainly after using monday.com for about two years now, seen tremendous return on investment and time to value with the platform."
"This is one of the primary services that we use daily, allowing us to organize new customer requests, monitor communications about customer inquiries, and communicate efficiently with other teams in the business."
"Automations are the most useful aspect of the solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"When replying to colleagues, it would be useful to see the formatting options (bold, bullets, etc.)."
"It would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software."
"Without having to go to the Enterprise level, I would love to see better access controls so that we can securely build boards that we can share with clients to manage their work/projects (and in our own branding and own URL)."
"I work with many internet tabs open and would prefer having Monday.com as a separate program - not opened via the website."
"The export options are also not yet flexible and comprehensive enough."
"It would be good to have a countdown timer to a deadline date so you could see 'days remaining' to work on a project to help schedule time, as currently it only shows the end date."
"The constant reminders are very distracting."
 

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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The product is not expensive."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"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."
"I am using its free version."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using the tool's free version."
