A rigid product that is hard to customize, has no mobile app, and is rarely updated by the vendor
There is no mobile application. The product is unmoving, as there is no obvious development or enhancements being made. When we are trying to compete in a market we need an updated product. The product is not easily customizable and we have to depend on the reseller for that. It's a rigid product. There are no reports available.

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

"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"It has improved our organizational skills and kept us up to the task."
"It has drastically helped me to get organized in the office and for personal to-do lists as well."
"Support from Monday.com makes you feel super comfortable communicating any inquiries you may have."
"It's really easy to use."
"Over time, we were able to move almost 90% of our workflow into Monday.com, and it has been a game-changer for us."
"The product is quite simple to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The mobile application is an absolute breeze to work with."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"There are some features that are overcomplicated to implement and that are not great for the user."
"The site could load a bit faster. I notice when I'm in locations with internet that isn't as speedy (like when I'm tethering with my phone) it can lag a bit."
"If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful."
"Technical support could be better with live chat functionality."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"It does have some native report widgets, but there are limitations on those. They're still building that capability out in my opinion. The reporting in monday.com is probably the weakest link, but there are third-party apps that you can add in that do some great reporting for you. You can also tie monday.com into a data warehouse and use something like Tableau, Power BI, or any reporting tool that can report out of a data warehouse to get the more in-depth reports that you need. Monday.com will get there, but it doesn't seem to be one of their top priorities."
"I wish I could have different columns for each group."
"We need to have conversations within the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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 product is not expensive."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"I am using its free version."
"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."
