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.

Good reporting, quick configurations, and helpful support
It's a cloud-based setup, so there's no challenge in getting everything up and running. The downtime should be minimal. I'd rate the process nine out of ten in terms of ease of deployment. There is a three-month implementation exercise that we control. We have five people who were part of the implementation and maintenance process. They are admins and web developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't really use the tool's advanced features, but I think it is quite convenient that I can just link the remaining timeline to calculate the set of end dates and the start dates."
"All employees can access it so everyone is in the know of what jobs are coming in and what jobs are going out."
"The ability to assign members to tasks and then have them update the status on them and even ask related questions under the task has been very helpful."
"The product is quite simple to use."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"We are a lot more organized, and have transparency throughout key areas of our business thanks to this solution."
"I mostly like automation and recently added custom automation so we can brainstorm and find the best fit for our particular use-case."
"The board customization is an incredibly valuable feature."
"The reporting part is very good."
 

Cons

"A new feature that we would love is the ability to create custom reports from our workspaces."
"Sometimes automation is delayed, which can lead to duplicate items being created."
"I'd like to see more integration with outside software such as social media publishing sites and cloud services."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
"Not a suitable solution for complex projects."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"The only issue we have now is that Monday sometimes crashes and does not recognize a change we make."
"What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps."
"Some of the reports could be automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"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."
"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 project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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."
