SS
Sr Manager at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
Provides efficiency in metadata storage and implementation
Many applications perform similarly to Hive, offering metadata implementations. I'm looking into their advancements, such as aggregated joins and MBT joins. Hive's virtual implementations are evolving, and tools like Snowflake offer specific use case advancements. In future releases, the Bloomfilter function should be a part of Hive. Windowing functions should also be there. I would also like to see AI implementation.

Project manager at WITS
Effective project tracking enhances decision-making but requires improved subtask hierarchy
I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult. It would be more efficient if it were easier to establish dependencies across different groups.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It excels in handling diverse data formats and is particularly beneficial for constructing a data lake for companies with mixed data types, such as videos and structured data."
"It is a good solution for us when it comes to metadata implementation. It's beneficial to have metadata stored in Hive."
"File upload and communication save hunting for messages or files across devices and shared areas."
"The way everyone can work together is fantastic."
"We use the status column quite frequently and the search bar to easily find specific customers and orders."
"The power of the dashboard that the solution gives you means you can do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming quarters."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"Shared boards help entire teams to plan out campaigns with ease and clarity."
"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"Pretty much everything is customizable and easily editable."
 

Cons

"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal."
"In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."
"In my initial exposure to the interface, I did not find it to be very user-friendly."
"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."
"Having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful."
"If there was a way for Monday.com to take over, or interface with, my inbox, such that my email messages became associated with a particular task, group, or board, that would be incredibly useful."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"We would like to have less downtime as it happens now and then!"
"It would be great if there was a setting where you could customize the email reminders."
"If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"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."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"I am using its free version."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The product is not expensive."
