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.

Centralized workflows have boosted cross-team collaboration and made complex projects manageable
monday.com can continue to improve their AI capabilities. When comparing monday.com to several alternatives when I was evaluating a project and project management, product road mapping, and workflow management platform for us, I looked at competitors such as Asana, ClickUp, SmartSheet, Airtable, and Notion. In my opinion, competitors such as Airtable and SmartSheet, especially followed by Asana and ClickUp, have worked on their AI and generative AI roadmap to combine database functionality with a very user-friendly interface for knowledge management and project tracking, essentially combining both worlds. Their AI is more sophisticated than what monday.com has released thus far. They provide a cleaner task-focused workflow management platform and I think that monday.com can still improve on this core piece of their technology. I think monday.com could also seek to be more process-oriented and intuitive. Other alternatives such as Asana and SmartSheet offer that approach. There is a steeper learning curve to learn monday.com in my opinion compared to Airtable, Asana, and others because I have also used those tools and platforms at other organizations. There is a bit of a learning curve with new users on monday.com because it is not as streamlined as I have experienced with competitors such as SmartSheet or Airtable. The capability sets are great, however, you may need to be hand-held via a monday.com rep when you get started within your organization or view the library of tutorials that monday.com has available. You can also view them on YouTube and that will help you get started on monday.com.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"We are a lot more organized, and have transparency throughout key areas of our business thanks to this solution."
"My business is very streamlined and efficient from sales to project management and execution to billing."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The user experience of Monday.com is exceptional; it's very easy to navigate and customize to our needs, and it's an outstanding product."
"It is fundamental to every facet of the business, as now something as simple as an order can flow from a sales rep to invoicing in QuickBooks and then automatically trigger project work and ingredient ordering once the client pays."
"Monday is the perfect time management tool."
"I have certainly after using monday.com for about two years now, seen tremendous return on investment and time to value with the platform."
"Having this software is great as it does a lot of the work for us and guides us when needed."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"I think monday.com could be improved by being more flexible at times."
"I archive the data, but I don't know where to find it or how. When I was testing, I thought I saw all the archived files sorted in no order and without knowing where they came from."
"If monday.com was cheaper, that would be better because it's quite expensive."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
"The site could load a bit faster. I notice when I'm in locations with internet that isn't as speedy (like when I'm tethering with my phone) it can lag a bit."
"I could say that I have not seen a return on investment, but it efficiently helps to centralize planning, tracking, and collaboration."
"I’m disappointed that I can no longer speak with a person for technical assistance."
"As far as I know, when I make a new entry on a Board, and I'm putting in the first piece of information, you can't just hit return or tab to the next element."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
