User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues. The need for…

Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility to create any sort of format has been very valuable."
"We love how we can create boards specifically focused on one topic and have all tasks and projects pertaining to that in one place."
"monday.com increased the efficiency of the teams using it, thereby decreasing costs. We needed fewer people to do the same amount of work once the tasks were organized and presented in a simple way."
"Our team uses the platform for many different functions, and the ability to have multiple Kanban boards that are integrated into various other platforms our team uses has helped us become more efficient in our content creation strategies."
"The solution offers the simplicity of use with no need for 'experts' to build a suitable product for us (like Salesforce does, for example)."
"Being able to customize the boards to our needs as a dance studio with a smaller staff team has been very helpful."
"I love that status updates move items from board to board."
"Automation is great."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
 

Cons

"The service could improve in its ability to automatically update."
"Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."
"I would like to see is to have a brief explanation of what a certain function does."
"It would be good to have a countdown timer to a deadline date so you could see 'days remaining' to work on a project to help schedule time, as currently it only shows the end date."
"In my initial exposure to the interface, I did not find it to be very user-friendly."
"The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration."
"Monday could be improved if it could be linked with Google Calendar."
"While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is not expensive."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"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."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
