Featured Reviews

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.

Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
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. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.

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 date, timeline, and task management features are great."
"Time tracking has been a godsend."
"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."
"The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"Guest access for the client significantly increases their loyalty and understanding of the value of what we do for them."
"The reminder function and tagging function work really well."
"All of the features are valuable. Especially, creating tickets for projects and assigning workers. Having trackable conversations and archive items for reference. We offer our customers a live update of their project by sharing a board directly with them. This allows them to comment or submit documents directly to Monday.com."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"A more personalized dashboard displaying each account's unfinished assignments would be helpful."
"They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference."
"The workload widget should work with the time-tracking column for more accuracy in managing team resources."
"I'd like better CRM integrations."
"We have difficulties playing with automation."
"We'd like to have the ability to start a screen record or screen grab that a user can initiate from Monday.com."
"More customizations for automation would be useful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 product is not expensive."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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 solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
