We can collaborate with our customers efficiently and professionally, and automation makes it easy for everyone
I would like to see a little bit more versatility with the integrations that it has. It's pretty versatile as it is. We can send emails from monday.com, but when it comes to the format, we don't necessarily want to always have the monday.com logos. We want to be able to make the emails we send out from monday.com, especially if they're coming from a specific person, look like they would if they were coming from our Outlook. Sometimes the formatting or embedding in our website gets a little weird. If that were a little bit more customizable, that would be nice. And being able to change the format of the forms that are used, visually, would be helpful. The forms are still great, but if they were a little bit more customizable, that would be nice.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Offers integration with hosted solutions."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service has valuable customization features."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness. Being part of the Microsoft 365 suite, it is easy to use and understand, much like Excel."
"There was a situation where we needed to integrate our system with other platforms quickly. Typically, this process would require using middleware or additional testing tools. However, integration was easy because we were using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, which is a Microsoft product. It has built-in connectors that integrate with Microsoft systems, making the process much easier."
"I mainly do customer management, setting records, and things like that."
"The data is always available to the users regardless of location because of the tool's cloud-based nature. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. The product is highly scalable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service stands out due to its rich features, ease of deployment, and straightforward licensing structure."
"The insights are quite helpful."
"Integration is seamless. I have integrated Microsoft Dynamics customer service with other systems."
"I mostly like automation and recently added custom automation so we can brainstorm and find the best fit for our particular use-case."
"Being able to customize the boards to our needs as a dance studio with a smaller staff team has been very helpful."
"Automations are the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Integrations with Slack and integrations as a whole are wonderful."
"The most valuable features are the way we could easily add tasks and track the timelines of tasks through a Gantt chart. That made it easier for us to see which crucial tasks were finished."
"You can create a group of tasks and can write down sub-tasks under each task."
"Being able to add comments to line items makes it easier to provide updates on tasks and flag if there are delays or issues in completing something."
"I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
 

Cons

"The product doesn’t meet standard functionality. There should be enough features included in it."
"The things that are needed are not available in the documentation."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward because assigning the new processes with 365 was a bit complex."
"The technical support should be dramatically improved."
"They could add a new chart or dashboard for visualization in the product."
"There are some occasional performance issues."
"They could improve the components to be more user-friendly. It needs to be more interactive for new users to operate."
"The product is expensive. It keeps improving. Once you've invested a lot in it, switching to a different system is hard."
"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."
"They need to improve the user interface of the automation/integrations."
"We have always wanted to be able to perform a global search for a phone number."
"Some boards are just buggy."
"I find that I sometimes have used the "status" column has input values other than done, working on it, etc., which conflicts with this bigger picture, and over the years is building up in a way that looks daunting as I'm not sure how to go back and mark it another way, so I skip it."
"When replying to colleagues, it would be useful to see the formatting options (bold, bullets, etc.)."
"Monday is one of the more expensive tools available."
"Monday, the service, can be improved with even greater integration and configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
"The solution has a corporate enterprise license, which large corporations sign."
"I rate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing a five out of ten."
"It is more expensive than other vendors."
"It is a decent price compared to multiple vendors and products available in the market."
"The tool is a bit on the expensive side if we purchase it individually."
"While it will apply to all employees, not all will utilize it fully. From a cost perspective, it strikes a balance: It's not overly expensive but also not too cheap."
"The pricing seems fair."
"I am using the tool's 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."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"I am using its free version."
