"Monday.com is the best platform for working with project organizations."
"Monday.com is effortless to use. You can customize it to adapt to your needs and work style. The product is beautiful and intuitive, which makes the work enjoyable."
"The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage."
"Monday has been really beneficial in allowing us to place all of our records in one place."
"We love how we can create boards specifically focused on one topic and have all tasks and projects pertaining to that in one place."
"The time savings alone is worth every penny and man-hour it took settings up the business profile."
"It has kept all our departments accountable and gives a quick birds-eye to see how projects are progressing."
"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."
"It is very good for managing the timeline. I'm a quality manager, and I have different testing projects running with different work breakdown structures. Asana makes it very easy to implement and monitor the plans. It is easy to move the tasks and complete them, break them down, and assign them to people."
"What I like most about Asana is its simplicity. For example: we're not the only ones using it, and we onboard our customers to it, and normally, they have no questions."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"Asana provides a lot of options and a lot of customization to give the best efficient way for your business to operate. For example, I can customize my tasks, tables, and pipelines the way I want them to fit my business model. It's easy and highly customizable."
"The ability to share projects and tasks among team members appears to be the most valuable feature."
"The ability to build subtasks and break things down off of our major tasks has been very valuable. It is very stable and extremely scalable. The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The fact that you can have different access groups is definitely a pro for Smartsheet. It also has the ability to integrate with a lot of tools."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"Enables coordination and sharing of information that is relatively inexpensive."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"The dashboard feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It's very user friendly."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"The permission settings require workarounds for some use cases."
"Better integration with Outlook would be awesome."
"The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"There have recently been a lot of lagging and loading delays with saving."
"A little more customization on the UI would be good."
"Monday.com has tons of features and capabilities. However, you’ll need to upgrade your plan to actually benefit the most from these tools."
"The ability to implement a timetabling functionality would be really useful for an education provider."
"There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized. One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast. JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"In some instances, there were subtasks where more than one person needed to review it, but I could only assign it to one person. I would have to create a subtask under a subtask and then assign it to other people. This could be improved."
"We don't get enough notifications."
"Their workflows and automation could use a big improvement. I don't even know if they have anything in that regard right now. I would really love to see a way where you can send custom alerts based on a task's completion or status change or an approval coming through. I would love to see a way to get some low-code functionality into Asana because right now, that is a big miss."
"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"It's hard to integrate Asana into other parts of the company workflow, so integration is an area for improvement."
"The stability of Asana is good. However, there are some issues with maintenance, when the solution is down. For example, there might be maintained for a few hours where we cannot use the solution."
"I would like if Smartsheet allowed more formulas in its sheets. I don't think working with formulas is as intuitive as it is in Excel. I use Vlookups and index matches in some of my sheets, and I had to find an outside consultant to help me build out those formulas."
"You were forced to create a new tab rather than add another sheet."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"Lacks the ability to edit attachments within the solution."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"There are some pain points for me. Other people use it a little differently, but I would like to be able to do a little more with it. I would like database functionality with it wherein if I bring in several Excel spreadsheets of data and load them into Smartsheets, I should be able to make a correlation between an index field and run a report against those two. I can do it, but it's a little clunky. So, I need a little more experience to feel comfortable doing that."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
