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."
"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"There is no price you can put on the quality, on-time delivery, and peace of mind our CEO gets."
"The date, timeline, and task management features are great."
"It gives me an overall view of everything someone is working on. I can go to the My Work feature, click on someone's name, and see all the tasks assigned to that person; their whole workload."
"The sales sheet where we keep track of all transactions including transaction history, customers, and all necessary records is great."
"Monday.com is our centralized location for managing all projects, to-dos, and tasks, as well as for managing a cooperative team."
"Monday.com has helped us greatly in the organization and flow of our processes."
"We have many different automations set up for different use cases."
"The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list."
 

Cons

"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"There are no reports available."
"It is difficult to create templates for repeat use cases."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
"As far as I know, when I make a new entry on a Board, and I'm putting in the first piece of information, you can't just hit return or tab to the next element."
"I'm unclear about the notifications feature in that I receive way too many emails."
"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"Sometimes the limit of parts on a board (500 units) can inhibit growth."
"Maybe they could improve a bit more on how to connect with other apps - especially for CRMs like Hubspot."
"The biggest thing missing that would be beneficial to us is a time tracking app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I am using its free version."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
