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…

Customizable, easy to configure, and reliable
My company is considered a customer and an end-user. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using right now. It's a company that offers lots of user manuals and you can find most of your stuff there before starting development. I'd advise potential new users to go through everything. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team. It's a system that includes everything related to the client and you can see everything under one screen without having a different product or system. It's been great, for the most part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way everyone can work together is fantastic."
"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."
"The boards and the sub-boards are great."
"Has very good collaborative functions."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"With Monday, everything is just one click away."
"Having visibility of all projects and every team member's workload has been invaluable."
"We really like the dashboards, automation, and spreadsheets."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable features of the SugarCRM platform include its flexibility in customizing fields, layouts, and dashboards."
 

Cons

"My Work cannot be connected to specific line items in boards or subtasks, and therefore it is currently causing a gap in communication with our team."
"We'd like to have the ability to start a screen record or screen grab that a user can initiate from Monday.com."
"I have to use a ton of filters to get the exact data I want on an overview board."
"The product could have more templates."
"The mobile app is not as user-friendly and as adaptable as I'd like it to be."
"Adding more features would be ideal since there are limitations as far as scalability."
"It would be helpful if I could integrate Google Docs with Monday somehow."
"The key limitation I face is that I don't find the tool to be fully intuitive as more time is required for me to learn how to use it optimally."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"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."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
