Featured Reviews

Abenazzer Tadesse - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Efficient project management that's comprehensive and and helps with time efficiency

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"In terms of scrum teams, I find that usually, the product backlog depends on charts and especially reports like Sprint Reports. I find the reports to be very useful."
"The user interface is simple."
"This solution focuses on lean methodology which we have found useful and it can also be used on any device."
"Overall, it is very intuitive. It is so lightweight and easy to use. It is easy to manage our product backlog and user stories, and it produces great reports."
"The level of stability is quite good."
"The solution offers up great transparency that makes it possible for everyone inside the departmental organization to see what's happening."
"The features on offer are great. It has everything we need."
"The burndown charts help track projects."
"Having visibility of all projects and every team member's workload has been invaluable."
"The features I found most valuable are the Kanban boards."
"There are many templates to choose from when you are creating your first board."
"All employees can access it so everyone is in the know of what jobs are coming in and what jobs are going out."
"Automation is by far the most valuable tool ever."
"We use also integration with Jira, to see the updates so the CSM team can see the update from Jira."
"Monday.com colors are friendly to the eye."
"Dashboards serve as a visual command center, offering a comprehensive overview of project progress, deadlines, and key performance indicators. This visual representation enhances decision-making and facilitates a quick understanding of the project landscape."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"From the project management perspective, I would say there are a lot of different issues that could be tweaked. There can be small improvements with traceability, for example."
"The next-generation software projects lack a lot, and I found quite a few bugs. There are some really basic things that you still cannot do. For instance, to put a mandatory due date for a task that you create in one of these projects is still not available. That's a bit of a block because people, especially those who are not technical, are not going to add anything if it's not mandatory. It's going to be difficult to teach them that they should do it anyway."
"The biggest complaint industry-wide about JIRA is they need to purchase additional extensions, such as reporting automation. If they could provide some additional extensions from the initial purchase it would be a huge benefit."
"The permissions can be challenging to get right."
"So at one point in time, they did a huge UI upgrade. At that time, I felt like they had changed something, so it was hard to figure out. Now that we are habituated, it's not an issue now."
"I would like to see visualization of release planning. I can list the releases and I can give dates to releases, but to show how they are happening on a timeline, I would need to order the Portfolio part. But just for this, it may be too much to use the Portfolio for that."
"Users can be confused about how to use this tool as it's very complex."
"If Jira would be interested in offering a SharePoint version, it would be beneficial."
"It would be helpful if I could integrate Google Docs with Monday somehow."
"This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."
"It would be great to have better email integration so that you could have all of your inboxes consolidated there."
"I do wish that admins could edit everything, no matter who created a post/board/subitems, etc."
"The workload widget should work with the time-tracking column for more accuracy in managing team resources."
"They should make it possible in the inbox to select all inbox updates and mark them as read."
"Having more pre-defined formats and/or templates or having the ability to make public some formats/templates (not the information on them) would be useful."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is about $10 per user, per month."
"The standard package of Jira is for 100 users. They should offer more packages for other increments, such as 500 or 2,000. In my previous company, there was a free package that provided a minimal number of users."
"It is certainly a long-term solution for our company and for previous companies that I have worked for. They have these long-term term licenses, but I'm not sure if they really pay on a yearly basis. They are certainly using it for a really long period and for a lot of users."
"It depends on the type of license. In terms of subscription, it is cheap, and it works pretty well."
"It is very cheap if you forego the local instance and stick to the cloud."
"Its price is good and similar to other products. It is about five or six dollars per user."
"It is subscription-based, and we probably pay yearly. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of price."
"The price of Jira is reasonable."
"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."
"The product is not expensive."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"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."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
