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 ease of use is valuable."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"I don't go on Monday every day so being notified through email and Slack is helpful."
"The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
"It has made the entire tracking process much easier."
"The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list."
"The best feature is the form for requests for new projects."
"Shareable boards with external partners and a couple of automations are valuable. I also like the simplicity or the clarity of the platform, and how it's a one-stop shop for everything rather than having multiple spreadsheets and folders."
"Monday.com has been helpful to us in multiple ways, however, primarily it has been great in the ability to think through details and assign them to different coworkers."
"The number one feature is the ability to automate pretty much everything."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"We can send emails from monday.com, but when it comes to the format, we don't necessarily want to always have the monday.com logos. We want to be able to make the emails we send out from monday.com, especially if they're coming from a specific person, look like they would if they were coming from our Outlook."
"It would be nice to have some more training such as webinar opportunities and refresher courses."
"The ability to build the dashboard and visualizations out of the data that is in the platform could be better. There are no color themes and no further customization on that front, so you cannot brandify or white label all the platforms to make it look more like your business rather than a generic one."
"I'd like to see some kind of way to display our data to realtor partners without giving them access to our entire board."
"The user communication aspect could be improved."
"One item we feel we is missing is more board templates that would allow us to work within the agile methodology."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"We'd like to have the ability to start a screen record or screen grab that a user can initiate from Monday.com."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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 its free version."
"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."
"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 was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
