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.
Alan Chiou - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues. The need for…

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."
"The possibility of having multiple boards is indeed a great feature that allows us to see the many projects (and their progress) at a glance."
"Integrations such as the one for Slack have helped us receive updates on tasks immediately as they occur by other team members."
"It has helped us to divide work by assigning tasks and forecasting how busy we will be in the future."
"The team follow-up is really easy to do with just one click."
"Timeline and countdown systems have been great for us as well as the ability to "@" team members in comment sections to have collaborative conversations, give feedback, and share files."
"Board templates are really good when you have recurring projects."
"We have gotten rid of all our paper-based systems and our marketing work is now 100% visible to anyone in our planning organization providing ultimate accountability between teams."
"Since Monday is so flexible, it allows us to maintain projects in our own way."
 

Cons

"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
"I'd love it if there was an instant messenger built into the product so I could talk with other teammates live in-product, as opposed to needing another solution like Slack, Google for chat, or Signal."
"The solution shouldn't let the system directly pull out Outlook (the Windows default mail system) whenever we click on an email address."
"I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult."
"The biggest thing missing that would be beneficial to us is a time tracking app."
"We'd like more automation."
"We have difficulties playing with automation."
"More demos on how to navigate and set up certain functions could be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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 am using the tool's free version."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
