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…

Easy to understand with fair pricing and lots of unique features
We use the desktop version of RationalPlan, and It seems some desktop software has the ability to share a document as a web view. This would be a nice feature allowing us to share our plans with clients without needing additional software. This may be something that is offered in the RationalPlan cloud plan. However, it would be nice for the desktop version to have this ability to bring it one more step ahead of the competition. As a side note, RationalPlan does have a free viewer as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like how you can trigger notifications and reminders automatically when different statuses are changed or updated."
"It gives me an overall view of everything someone is working on. I can go to the My Work feature, click on someone's name, and see all the tasks assigned to that person; their whole workload."
"The flexibility to create any sort of format has been very valuable."
"It is easy to use and our processes are much better organized and reviewed."
"The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails."
"Being able to duplicate boards from sitting to sitting and also being able to upload .csv files for tasks is great."
"The customization ability of Monday is unmatched."
"The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards."
"Support is top-notch whenever help is needed."
 

Cons

"The mobile app is not as user-friendly and as adaptable as I'd like it to be."
"Maybe they could improve a bit more on how to connect with other apps - especially for CRMs like Hubspot."
"While there are most of the features that users aspire to see in managing daily plans and tasks, they could focus to bring in extensive and comprehensive features of project management and grant management."
"It would be nice to have more customization around the documents, such as different title headings, fonts, etc."
"I would like the web-based app to be able to switch between different accounts. The mobile app can switch between accounts pretty easily, but with the web-based app, you have to log out and log back in to do it."
"Automation is often glitchy for us. Maybe we have too many automations set up?"
"Some boards are just buggy."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"We use the desktop version of RationalPlan, and It seems some desktop software has the ability to share a document as a web view. This would be a nice feature allowing us to share our plans with clients without needing additional software. This may be something that is offered in the RationalPlan cloud plan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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."
"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 product is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
