Satya Raju - PeerSpot reviewer
A versatile and scalable data warehousing with SQL-like querying capabilities on large datasets stored in Hadoop, offering ease of use, flexibility and compatibility with various data formats
If the use case involves creating a data warehousing solution with complex functionality, data analytics, and extensive querying requirements, especially if there's a need for a data lake, then opting for Hadoop and Spark is advisable. In this scenario, Hadoop with technologies like Hive and Spark can provide the necessary capabilities. On the other hand, if the application's primary focus is on handling large volumes of data without the requirement for complex features, data warehousing, or advanced querying, and if dashboarding visibility is not a priority, then MongoDB could be a suitable choice. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to 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 months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

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."
"We have gotten rid of all our paper-based systems and our marketing work is now 100% visible to anyone in our planning organization providing ultimate accountability between teams."
"We have been able to keep our projects and acquisitions more organized by using the automation features to move line items over new sections based on the status."
"monday.com saves time and gets everyone on the same page within my team."
"The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I especially like the dashboards where you can combine info from different boards into one."
"Monday.com has made it much easier to keep track of a wide range of tasks whilst we have a team distributed over multiple countries and timezones."
"Automations are the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The solution is more of a streamlined Slack."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."
"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal."
"BCC Outlook integrations could be better."
"A new feature that we would love is the ability to create custom reports from our workspaces."
"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."
"The permission settings require workarounds for some use cases."
"My Work cannot be connected to specific line items in boards or subtasks, and therefore it is currently causing a gap in communication with our team."
"There are some small usability issues which can be an inconvenience."
"I have never not found a feature I want."
"I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using its free version."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"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 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."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
