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."
"The ability to assign members to tasks and then have them update the status on them and even ask related questions under the task has been very helpful."
"With Monday, everything is just one click away."
"Monday.com has revolutionized our ability to function as a non-traditional educational model."
"Monday.com improves our work within the organization by automating our work and making it friendly and easy to use in order to achieve our goals."
"It has brought a sense of organization, structure, and clarity into the department."
"It is an invaluable tool to my team and prevents miscommunication among the company as a whole."
"I like the update feature. It's almost like you can replace email with it. You can communicate on a particular item within monday.com, and then you can see the history of who commented, when they commented, what they said, and the reply to what they said. It's much easier to follow up on a particular item than have a thousand emails going back and forth. In a big project, you can usually have a ton of emails. If you use monday.com as a communication tool, you can almost eliminate email and have better tracking on what was done, when it was done, and what was said about the items. That's probably my favorite feature."
"There are many incredible features, however, the ability to tag each other in comments, mark out progress, and get alerts through the app keeps us moving forward."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"The need for a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down. Additionally, the synchronization feature is not functioning optimally."
"They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference."
"My issue is with learning about and taking advantage of existing features."
"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 should be on-screen PC/Mac notifications when the website/service is not open on the screen."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"I'd like better CRM integrations."
"Monday has a lot of space, let's say, for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"I am using its free version."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
