Featured Reviews

Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.
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

"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"Email integration is easy."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"Automation is by far the most valuable tool ever."
"Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up."
"Shared boards help entire teams to plan out campaigns with ease and clarity."
"The way everyone can work together is fantastic."
"I like monday.com's automation capabilities the most, but the reporting is also excellent. Jira and our other tools provide decent reporting, but monday.com adds another layer. We can drill further down into processes, problems, and issues. These reports have helped us to control our sales funnel."
"It's really easy to use."
"The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards."
"It has made the entire tracking process much easier."
 

Cons

"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"Constant updates mean the service is down sometimes, which isn't ideal."
"The mobile application of the solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"I would like to see Monday.com create a Work Package Template which could be created and adjusted as per each project but could also be amended via an app on site should this be required."
"I'd love it if there was an instant messenger built into the product so I could talk with other teammates live in-product, as opposed to needing another solution like Slack, Google for chat, or Signal."
"There was one time that I had used CTRL + C to copy one of the text fields, and accidentally pasted it into all other rows/projects. I know there is an "undo" button you can click on for a few seconds, however, it would be helpful if you could undo it even after it's been a few minutes/hours."
"It is a touch expensive, especially when just starting out."
"I often find it difficult to keep track of all the projects I am involved in."
"There are a lot of ways that monday.com does not work, for example, when it comes to HRMS. A particular employee can't apply for leave or check the status of a leave request or check his 401(k) status. Those are things that are missing in monday.com."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshsales is an economical product."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"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 think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"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."
