Featured Reviews

Abenazzer Tadesse - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Operations Officer at BeOnline ICT
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 ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"To say I am passionate about Monday.com is an understatement."
"Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done."
"I like the update feature. It's almost like you can replace email with it. You can communicate on a particular item within monday.com, and then you can see the history of who commented, when they commented, what they said, and the reply to what they said. It's much easier to follow up on a particular item than have a thousand emails going back and forth. In a big project, you can usually have a ton of emails. If you use monday.com as a communication tool, you can almost eliminate email and have better tracking on what was done, when it was done, and what was said about the items. That's probably my favorite feature."
"Having the ability to build what is essentially a more feature-rich spreadsheet and then pull reports from that is excellent from a reporting perspective."
"The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"The notification system is well done."
"I would recommend the solution to other users."
 

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."
"Having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful."
"There is a feature I think should be included in the next release."
"The product can be improved by adjusting some of the ways in which the "boards" work."
"The product can be improved by allowing for some sort of autonomous deadline creation."
"This is a light solution so it's very good for small projects but when it comes to more complex projects and managing dependencies, I don't see the capabilities between tasks and more detailed resource management."
"It would be quite cool if it could connect to my Outlook calendar and put the project deadlines in there."
"It would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software."
"If Monday.com could increase the refresh rate of the site, that would make things a little better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The product is not expensive."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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 pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
