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.

Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has simplified communication on our team when it comes to relaying any and all information for our email marketing campaigns."
"All-in-all, Monday.com has changed how we worked for the better and easily saves us dozens of man-hours a week."
"All of the individual features, integrations, automations, and customization makes it amazing."
"The company has absolutely benefitted from this tool as a project management tool and is great for remote work as well."
"The customization ability of Monday is unmatched."
"It has improved our organizational skills and kept us up to the task."
"Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity."
"Monday.com is basically our office now."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"The solution is very stable."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"The most useful thing is the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting."
 

Cons

"Another aspect of Monday that I'm not such a fan of is the infinite scroll to the right."
"The docs could be improved."
"The system has been pretty buggy as of late. My business comes to a grinding halt when the platform goes down, which has been nearly once a week this past month."
"The speed of the loading process should be better."
"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."
"The marketing notification emails from Monday.com are really poor and of little value to the user."
"The mobile application of the solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"New features sometimes seem bolted on rather than being smooth."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"The product is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"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."
"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."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"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."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"I am using its free version."
"The product is not expensive."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
