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…

A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects
The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation is definitely my favorite feature as it makes our lives so much easier."
"We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing."
"In short - it keeps a remote asynchronous team in sync."
"Board templates are really good when you have recurring projects."
"The structure it has, the sites, the boards, and how easily you can transfer information from one place to the other is great."
"The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners."
"It's probably one of the most user-friendly platforms I've ever used."
"We can remove, add, and modify a project or task charter easily."
"The Kanban board has really helped us be more agile and we can keep track of everything that is ongoing."
"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."
"It maps back to our SDLC process pretty well. I'm able to see the stage of where things are at. We also use Azure DevOps for all of our requirements and our coding."
"The solution is flexible. Planview is always introducing new releases and functionality, which ends up being beneficial to the company. We are able to do some customizations on our own along with our IT department, and that's very helpful."
"We do a lot of big projects which are pretty expensive to structure the product development around and see the progress. Every time we start a project, we have to expense the spends for certain amounts. We need some baselines, like predictive versus actual."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."
"I would say it works really well for forecasting remaining effort, especially in terms of forecasting the dollar amounts. We've gotten pretty good at adjusting rates because we have a lot of contract workers."
"The integration stuff from tool to tool, like Projectplace to Planview, to manage projects is the most valuable feature. It keeps all our tasks up-to-date. It closely follows up with everything, which is really cool."
 

Cons

"It has more limitations than we expected."
"I would like to see an app version similar to Teams, or even have them integrate with Teams."
"It would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software."
"As far as I know, when I make a new entry on a Board, and I'm putting in the first piece of information, you can't just hit return or tab to the next element."
"The stability could be improved."
"If I want to use the product after I have completed my assignment, or if I want to use it for some of my other projects, I don't really get to use it again."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"The inbox and notifications section is not great, therefore, we don't use the comments field to communicate with each other."
"The reporting is absolutely shocking. It's not good reporting and requires improvement."
"We are not very happy with the customer service. This is one of our main pain points. It doesn't cover the entirety of customer service, as there are reps who are really great and we've had good experiences. Many times, we've had people give us attitude, there was a delay in the response, or just a lack of interest. This got to the point where if there was a problem, we would rather try to solve it ourselves then call customer support."
"I would like to see more documentation pieces. Right now, they do have the content repository. I would like to see more out-of-the-box features with document repository capabilities."
"Its reporting needs to be improved. My main complaint when it comes to Planview is that it is good to maintain all the data but to actually use the information that is in it, you actually have to use a different tool. We use Power BI. So, we pull all the information, and then we use a Power BI dashboard to stage or look at the information."
"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."
"When you think of planning at a PI level, roadmap planning, or release planning, I think they should make a little more headway into how agile delivery works, tying it back into the financials and the planning to Planview. I think it would be good."
"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."
"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"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."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"I am using its free version."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."
"We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."
"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."
"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."
"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."
"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
