"It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"The possibility of having multiple boards is indeed a great feature that allows us to see the many projects (and their progress) at a glance."
"It allows us to get everyone on the same page at their local terminal without having to sync everyone on ten different software solutions."
"Being able to assign our individual tasks helps us a ton. I’ve worked with other companies that did not use Monday, and sometimes things would fall through the cracks as there were misunderstandings about who’s the responsibility it was to do something."
"Being able to add comments to line items makes it easier to provide updates on tasks and flag if there are delays or issues in completing something."
"In general, this solution is very user-friendly."
"The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage."
"The solution is stable."
"We use SAP CRM for customer service improvement. The main idea is to make sure our team has the right information when talking to customers. This helps them process things like price approvals for quotes faster. The goal is to make the product more efficient, and faster, and, in the end, provide better customer service."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"The flexibility to design the portal and customize it according to the needs of the clients is valuable. The integration with SAP ERP is also valuable."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of... If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference."
"The calendar selection for dates is not the easiest to navigate."
"Monday.com has tons of features and capabilities. However, you’ll need to upgrade your plan to actually benefit the most from these tools."
"Making adjustments to the My Work section that it includes deadlines for multiple columns on a board instead of just one would be very useful."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"If I have 20 items that all have a deadline of 3/24, I'd love to be able to update them all at one time rather than individually."
"The B2C features of SAP are strong, but they are not very known to the public and companies. They must make it more known for B2C applications or B2C use cases."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues. Most of them were with the ERP integration. Many other issues were around the client's integrations between the ERP and CRM platforms. It could be more user-friendly. It wasn't very user-friendly initially, but now it's easier for them to use. Now, the users can use that platform better than at the beginning. We would like to see reports with more analytic features and artificial intelligence in the next release. For example, show more metrics and KPIs and more dynamic dashboards. Because the platform has some models, but it's not easy to use. It's a little complex."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
"Improvement is needed for SAP CRM's integration with Microsoft Teams and Outlook Its integration with Microsoft collaboration software, including Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, is not very good. There are issues with synchronization between appointments in CRM and Outlook, as well as challenges with managing contacts, which creates problems."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"Content management is one area where SAP CRM could use some work because we were seeking a CRM solution that could store BLOB data, like PDF and email data, which takes up a lot of space in the database. Recently, we migrated to a content server, but it would be nice if CRM had built-in BLOB data management because BLOB data is a challenge we've been dealing with since last year."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
