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…

Creates customizable systems and improve team collaboration
Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need. The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication. Once I understand the basics, it's easy to use despite an initial learning curve. It also significantly improves team collaboration through customized views and visualizations of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy to use. When we were trying to pick a system, we looked at Asana, Jira, and other platforms, and they were very cluttered. But monday.com is very user-friendly. As a user, everything is very clear. You don't need to be too tech-savvy to understand it and it's very easy to pick up on and learn."
"Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up."
"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."
"Before signing on with Monday, we had no idea what the total value of our book of business was, and keeping track of renewing policies was very difficult."
"It has made the entire tracking process much easier."
"The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"I love being able to "check off" a task by changing its status to "done." It also disappears off the list when you complete it."
"There are many templates to choose from when you are creating your first board."
"Notion has a lot of integrations."
"Customer support is great, effective, and easy to reach."
"Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need."
"The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion."
"We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"It is easy to use, and I love its UI."
"Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more flexibility with sub-items as well as more customization of branding for dashboards and exported documents."
"There are minor bugs that delete information or don’t autosave information placed. It doesn’t happen often, however, when it does it is inconvenient."
"Once timers are cleared, there is no way to recover this data."
"If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"There are some small usability issues which can be an inconvenience."
"The ability to implement a timetabling functionality would be really useful for an education provider."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"User management needs improvement."
"It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The product could be integrated with external platforms."
"The platform's documentation feature needs improvement."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"The only problem I experience is that it often hangs. I might find myself trying to load a new page, but I am unable to move from one page to another due to frequent hanging."
"Notion's UI could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"The product is not expensive."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
"The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much."
"The product has good pricing."
"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
"The product has good pricing."
"It's pretty affordable."
