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 ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"Perfect for keeping track of large amounts of bugs, tasks queries and releases for fixes."
"The most valuable features of this solution are workflow and reporting."
"The two features that have been most valuable have been backlog management and sprint planning and tracking."
"I have experience with Jira's bulk tracking and issue management. We use it to add new features to our product, fix bugs, and address customer feedback."
"Its integration with Bitbucket, Confluence, and other things is most valuable."
"It has enabled us to keep track of features or projects. Previously, we used to manually keep track in Office. We now have a centralized repository for all the information."
"The user story map is excellent. The features can be composed into stories and they can be allocated to each of the sprints in a program increment. It allows you to see all that in the user story map, and you have various dashboards to see the stories in various views. You can see them as a backlog view, for example, or you can see as an actual sprint view."
"The initial setup isn't too complicated."
"I love how we can color coordinate between statuses and how statuses jump into their respective groups automatically once chosen."
"Being able to add comments to line items makes it easier to provide updates on tasks and flag if there are delays or issues in completing something."
"I like monday.com's automation capabilities the most, but the reporting is also excellent. Jira and our other tools provide decent reporting, but monday.com adds another layer. We can drill further down into processes, problems, and issues. These reports have helped us to control our sales funnel."
"The filters are extremely useful."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"It's very easy to use. When we were trying to pick a system, we looked at Asana, Jira, and other platforms, and they were very cluttered. But monday.com is very user-friendly. As a user, everything is very clear. You don't need to be too tech-savvy to understand it and it's very easy to pick up on and learn."
 

Cons

"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"From a very software-centric or a lead developer standpoint, there should be the ability to work at multiple levels. You have epic stories and use cases or epic stories and tasks. It would be nice to be able to have multiple levels of stories and multiple levels of epics work with it. It's lacking a little bit there, and this is the big thing for me because it makes it difficult to do a real sprint when you're limited to one story per epic. It's really hard to isolate tasks at multiple levels to match the type of use cases you normally do. That's the biggest difficulty. Other than that, they've been improving year to year, and every version seems to have a level of improvement."
"Some of the interfaces, especially on the administrator side and for permissions, are not so clear. They aren't very user-friendly."
"I want the tool to integrate connectors."
"If CI/CD is integrated with it, it would be better. I've used Azure DevOps before, and it's nice to have everything, such as CI/CD Repos and other things, integrated. Jira has fewer integrations. Azure DevOps has an easier interface, and it has got everything in one spot. I don't have to jump around in different applications."
"The pricing is quite high."
"Jira required a significant amount of system resources, particularly for larger organizations with extensive workflows and numerous projects."
"The help desk and services management features are in need of improvement."
"It would be very useful to have drag and drop time tracking."
"Alongside the integrations, a Mailchimp one would help to add tags directly from Monday to the Mailchimp account."
"Managing project status and product development may be quite difficult unless you have a project manager."
"The docs could be improved."
"I have to use a ton of filters to get the exact data I want on an overview board."
"It is difficult to create templates for repeat use cases."
"If monday.com was cheaper, that would be better because it's quite expensive."
"Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information."
"The user admin module could be more accessible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our client handles the licensing aspect. They have not yet purchased the premium version."
"JIRA's pricing is very economical. I would say that JIRA is a great deal more economical than Microsoft."
"We are using the enterprise license which is nice because it ensures that we always have the latest versions of Jira software."
"The price of Jira is reasonable."
"I don't have the number, but I sure wish Jira was less expensive. Its price point should be a little lower, and it should be more flexible for users who are just ticket viewers."
"One of my customers told me that they were receiving better pricing for a similar tool from Microsoft."
"Its price is fine, but we would like it to be less expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis."
"I understand JIRA is quite expensive."
"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 price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"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."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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 solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
