User-friendly, customizable, and very affordable
Because of Apptivo's capabilities, lead conversion has happened very effectively. There is no spillage with lead tracking. We ensure that every lead is followed up. If any of those are not converted, we use the platform to engage with them again after about six months. We try to convert as many as possible, and that has been possible because of the CRM.

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

"It's very customizable and very friendly. I could tailor it to my business."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."
"It allows us to get everyone on the same page at their local terminal without having to sync everyone on ten different software solutions."
"To say I am passionate about Monday.com is an understatement."
"I use the templates function to create standard templates for my project plans that I can easily duplicate and disperse organizationally."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Monday allows for remote work perfectly."
"Monday.com is our centralized location for managing all projects, to-dos, and tasks, as well as for managing a cooperative team."
"Monday is extremely useful in so many ways by helping keep projects on track and organized."
 

Cons

"Its integrations could be better. The UI/UX could also be better, but that is not essential for us."
"We'd like to see less downtime. There have been times when I really needed to use Monday and it would be down for half a day and saying there is an error with the system."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"There are occasional glitches in the system that cause the website to be down temporarily."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"The setup was complex. We had to learn on the run."
"While there are most of the features that users aspire to see in managing daily plans and tasks, they could focus to bring in extensive and comprehensive features of project management and grant management."
"It would be good if we could have the option to choose custom colors for the status fields and groups so we can make some boards more branded."
"It clutters your mailbox; every time something becomes due and every time you have something due, you get an email, so if you are working on several projects, you could get several reminders and be inundated with messages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very affordable. As a small business, it's very affordable for me. They're giving it to us at $10 a user, which is very comfortable. I would rate it a 10 out of 10 in terms of price. If we wanted to get some implementation and support from them, they had some pricing, but we didn't want that. We said that we'll set it up ourselves."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The product is not expensive."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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."
