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

"The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress."
"I really really like the sort by name or dates functions as they toggle and make being able to offer super-quick organization a breeze, especially when client-facing."
"The appearance of Monday.com makes it easier to consume and digest."
"The way everyone can work together is fantastic."
"The flexibility to create any sort of format has been very valuable."
"The "My Week" view and task list are probably the most helpful for us - it's really great to set a project schedule and assign people to tasks."
"Monday.com has allowed us to organize our workload in a much more efficient way."
"The various integrations have made it easier for us to focus on keeping our information in one place so that we're not spending time (wasting time) trying to find information in different places online."
"Support is top-notch whenever help is needed."
 

Cons

"We can send emails from monday.com, but when it comes to the format, we don't necessarily want to always have the monday.com logos. We want to be able to make the emails we send out from monday.com, especially if they're coming from a specific person, look like they would if they were coming from our Outlook."
"A new feature that we would love is the ability to create custom reports from our workspaces."
"The addition of subtasks was really great. It helps reduce a lot of the clutter on our boards. However, sometimes it is inhibitive to use them as the features available using main tasks don't apply to subtasks."
"I would like to see an app version similar to Teams, or even have them integrate with Teams."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"They need to improve the user interface of the automation/integrations."
"What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps."
"The solution has dashboards, however, you have a limited amount. You may only get ten when you need closer to 30. We often need to create many boards. For example, we might need one board per customer. If we have more than ten customers, we run out of boards available. I'm not sure if you can pay more in order to get more or if it's just a design limitation. It's unclear. In any case, they should be more generous."
"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

"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."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
