monday.com for Enterprise Reviews

Monday helps our decentralized team connect digitally. 

Its flexibility allows information that was once only prepared and shared in one way to be presented in a way that is appealing and even more useful for other disciplines, without fundamentally changing the way a person needs to work. 

It also allows us to show aspects of our project to our volunteers in a way that doesn't break the bank. The guests feature is important for an organization like ours, that spends a lot of time connecting and communicating with people from coast to coast.

Our teams know about candidate launch deadlines, and it takes the burden of an organizing staffer being required to also make sure every department head has been alerted to an event, even if it's as granular as a task handoff. 

All our info, all in one place, is infinitely expandable with a myriad of integrations that work like a charm. We were able to remove bulky, siloed CRMs and tools that perhaps only one person from one team would use, and consolidate everything into Monday. 

Cross-team collaboration shifted from challenging to "just the way we do things" overnight. 

External facing development boards, countdowns, email alert systems for deadlines, and progress summaries have been great. Having all our stuff in one place, within one tool is extremely helpful. 

Being able to pull entire departments into their own ecosystem, while managing the user access from one dashboard is incredibly valuable. 

One of the best features I can speak to is getting alerts based on status and progress, task by task. Monday has really changed the notion of update meetings for our team- we can view updates at a glance, and get as granular as we need, or take a wide-angle view of the entire organization's progress. 

It's always great to get more training support for new folks. We highly recommended it so that you are able to get the most out of the platform. 

This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters. Everyone should be immersed in its workings if you want to truly revolutionize your organization. 

The feature set is so robust, that my suggestions are really quite narrow in scope - as basic as expanding the color palette to folders in a workspace. 

My organization has been using Monday for three years. 

I've found Monday to be a very stable platform. Over the course of my using Monday, I cannot recall a time that the service was down or inaccessible to me. 

It scales up and down, depending on your contract. 

Nothing to complain about in terms of technical support. They are responsive, engaging, and always checking in. 

Positive

We used several different solutions and Monday took care of many of our other 3rd-party tools - everything from our CRM to our helpdesk to our research. Those 3rd party tools we had to keep were easily integrated into Monday. 

The solution offers a fantastic team setup and support options. It's a la carte and scales up to a more robust integration. 

I run two different instances of Monday, one in-house, one through the vendor team. I am partial to the in-house. 

We haven't done the exact math on this, however, in morale alone, the return is a net positive. 

I'd advise new users to get the training you need for all the staff who will need discrete spaces carved out on Monday.

Don't get me wrong, Monday is easy to pick up and use for folks who don't need to do deeper stuff, however, your organization will need to consider how best to integrate the tool into your business. 

If there are choices, only integrate the parts of your business that you want to relieve from being crushed under the weight of your organization's ad-minutia. 

Monday was the first alternative to our current toolset that we looked at. 

Monday is a whole-team solution. Make sure everyone gets a crack at seeing how they could use it- and let them play around a bit with the new ideas presented via the toolset. It's fun. 

We are a marketing and branding agency. We are in consistent communication with our clients and have multiple projects and clients to manage daily. 

Monday helps keep us on track, prioritize, and communicate within our team as well as with our clients. 

We manage creative projects of various sizes; with projects from social media graphics, all the way to the complete rebranding of an organization. 

With Monday, it has helped us to stay organized as well as allow the clients to see where we are on a particular project. 

Monday has been a huge help to the team through personal organization and measuring team success. 

It keeps everyone on the same page and gives us a way to streamline our projects and client communication. Not only does it allow our team to keep track of where we are and due dates, but it also allows our clients to view our progress and how we are doing on the timeline. 

It is a huge help to see our team and daily progress and have comments available directly on a project. We use it to keep track of projects, timelines, and personal tasks. 

The most valuable features have to be the ability to create separate boards, both for external and internal communication. Having the ability to add tasks and reminders to our individual board as well as the team board helps keep communication in one place. 

A feature that we utilize daily is the form option (and the link) that we can send to clients. Instead of receiving requests via email, this helps us to keep all client requests prioritized and organized by date as well as the client. This not only helps our team by getting the information we need rather than going back and forth through email but helps the client have one place to put all their requests. 

It would be great to have more options on the form for external use, and an easier exporting option for client answers (rather than copying and pasting from each section). For example, right now we are limited in the questions we can ask our clients when they fill out a form. They are also limited with the lines and spacing. So allowing us to customize this to our needs would be helpful. It would be helpful to also have a calendar section with different options to select per board, etc, where it could lay out what the calendar looks like for the month or week based on the due dates. 

I've used the solution for over one year.

We have had little to no issues. It's very stable. 

This platform could work for larger teams as well as smaller startups. 

The solution offers great support and service.

Positive

We used Slack as well as Asana. Monday helps us to both communicate and keep track of tasks in a more streamlined way. 

It was a straightforward setup for the most marketed tools (organization, boards, teams). However, finding forms and plugins was more difficult. 

We handled the setup via an in-house team. 

We've had an incredible return on investment. It is very affordable and user-friendly. 

Monday is 100% worth it!

Monday was always on our radar. We did look into Notion, however, Monday works best for us.

We have had a great experience with Monday. 

I use Monday.com to manage four different content editorial calendars. There are several different approval processes for each calendar, and Monday helps us submit content as updates, and have them reviewed, approved, and ready to publish all in one platform. 

Once the content is published, it remains on the Monday board so we can see which items were completed in the past and whether they need to be updated again. 

In the past, I’ve also used Monday to manage a social media calendar. It was the easiest way to keep track of social media posts, even with ownership of many different platforms. 

It has kept us very organized. 

In the past, we used email to send content items back and forth for review. In this shuffle, items would get lost in inboxes. Sometimes, Word documents would be shuffled so colleagues may be editing older versions. 

With our Monday calendars, content stays on one platform, so version control is stronger. 

We use automation, so it’s also helped us stay on deadline by including reminders as the dates approach. 

At a glance, Monday tells us whether we’re producing enough content. 

Automations have proven most valuable. Most notably, when I mark a pulse as “complete” it automatically tags a colleague. This means I no longer have to manually send emails to colleagues to push items along the approval process. 

It also saves us room for error - if a colleague forgets to send an item to the next person, it no longer costs us time because the next person is already tagged. As mentioned above, these automations also help us to stay on time. 

With the timeline feature, if a content update is nearing or past its due date, the date will turn red and I know to prioritize it. 

It's very simple to use and very useful.

It would be beneficial to have the ability to toggle between the traditional Monday.com pulse view and a monthly calendar view. Sometimes I’d like to see a more high-level overview of what our content looks like for the entire month or quarter. 

For social media management, it would be incredibly useful if Monday could connect to social media platforms so that we could schedule and publish social media content directly from our calendar. For planning purposes, this would also tell us right away whether posts had too many characters or whether photo or video files are small enough for each social platform. 

I've been using the product for over two years.

The solution is fairly stable. There are sometimes outages, however, they’re transparent about those. 

I'm not sure if the product can scale.  

So far, technical support is very transparent during outages. 

Positive

We used Trello before. We switched when my organization decided to use Monday. 

I wasn’t involved in the setup. 

We used a vendor team, however, I'm not sure about expertise. 

I wasn’t involved in the licensing process. I don’t know much about pricing.  

I wasn’t involved in the decision making process. 

I use the product for project and task management and communications between different departments. It's great for design requests and updates on deliverables. 

We use the software at the marketing agency, where having different clients sure gets overwhelming at some points. How we’ve designed our boards, makes it easier to keep track of all the clients and the progress status of their services as well as review the weekly KPI analytical reporting for each client. 

The platform is also pretty easy and straight forward to use. 

It has helped us be super creative with how we divide our boards between departments. 

Now we have one main workspace for launching clients, one for waiting, one for recurring, and one for internal. 

Under the internal we have it sectioned per department, per client and per service signed up. We also have sections for analytics reporting so that we have all our info in one place. Each client gets a board with all their needed information and links. 

This has definitely made it easier for everyone on the team to be updated.

The templates they provide are super helpful to make you start off right the way. The automation available is also a great way to take things off of your hands by automating the process behind it. The ability to track the timelines of every single project and see all the comments and updates makes it easier for upper management to easily review work and keep track of the progress we’ve come through. 

We actually base all our internal team meetings on Monday, where we start going through each workspace and client boards. 

Often we receive technical difficulties on the platform and the entire website will be down. We’ve noticed this happens more often recently which interrupts our internal process as we work on the platform on a daily basis. 

It would be great if the platform has a Kanban look and board to track all projects and tasks from backlog, to to-do, to in progress, in review, approved, and all the steps necessary so all requests are going through all steps to ensure seamless operations between all departments.

I've used the solution for over four years now.

The stability looks promising.

The platform needs to be more US-focused with local offices and local talent. 

We've never gotten into Monday support.

Positive

We used Asana and Jira. Monday has better aesthetics.

The setup is pretty simple and easy to get the hang of.

We handled the initial setup in-house.

We've seen an ROI of at least 5X.

The enterprise plan can be a bit cheaper.

We evaluated Asana and Jira.

We started by looking for a task tracking tool - something other than Microsoft or Google. Since then, we have expanded our usage to include vacation tracking, project tracking and management, lead tracking, sales funnel tracking, vacation tracking, hourly reporting and approvals, applicant tracking, and onboarding. 

Basically, we attempt to use Monday.com for any task we can think of that will simplify our day to day communications and operations management. The tool provides great flexibility for that.

Before Monday.com, we struggled to keep track of who was doing what and by when. We had multiple spreadsheets, some that we shared via email, some in Google drive. It was chaos. Dates were missed and we didn't have a clear picture of who was assigned to what, nor did we have the ability to accurately hold each other accountable for what we were working on. This was clearly not a good situation for a startup.  

Since implementing Monday.com, we are more organized, tasks are getting done, and no one can claim, "I didn't know what I had to do."

In order of impact/importance, the three key figures for us are automation, templates, and role assignments.  

The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails. We use this on virtually every board in the system even if it is just to send a completed item to the archive.  

The templates are expansive (and growing), detailed, and battle-tested.  We can often slot something in with little or no modification.  

Finally, the ability to easily and quickly assign someone to something is a tremendous time-saver.

There is very little to improve with Monday.com.  

Occasionally, it takes some time to get a response from customer success, though they are always helpful. The help system is very extensive, allowing us to resolve most of our questions on our own.  

There are no features that come to mind to be added. They are so far ahead on the product roadmap; we're continually playing catch-up via the monthly webinars to be sure we're taking advantage of the new features they have been dreaming up. It's a great plus for how they handle enhancements.

I've used the solution for two years.

Occasionally (maybe once or twice a month), we'll get an error message, usually cleared up by redoing the activity (therefore it may be just a network issue). The system itself has never been down for us.

The solution scales to whatever we need. At some point, we might need an administrator.

Early on, it was fantastic and nearly in real time. Since then, there have been times when we had to wait a day or more for a response. We haven't had to use it in the past several months as we have become more self-supporting.

We previously used Excel, Google, and Outlook Tasks. They were not automated or universally visible to us. That's why we went looking for a solution.

The setup is simple. You just log in and go.

We did the setup in-house. One person learned the system and then trained everyone else.

We didn't calculate ROI, however, it has saved us hours of time and many dollars that would have been spent on point solutions.

There is virtually no setup cost other than the time it takes to learn the system and set up boards/automation.  

The pricing is a bit steep, and it's built on tiers rather than incremental users (not ideal for a small company that's adding people slowly).

We looked into Excel, Google, Outlook Tasks, Basecamp, and a couple of others in the project management space.

The sky is the limit. How big is your imagination? You can build it on Monday.com.

Our business uses Monday.com to communicate assignments to each of our departments. Our management then receives the notice of the new assignments, can communicate with other staff in an organized location related to the said assignment, and can do all of this for multiple assignments at once. 

Monday.com is a very organized and easy-to-use tool. 

We also use this tool as a way to track the status of online sales. We only have about half a dozen of online sales active at any time (we are 99% storefront retail, with very rare cases of online sales) and Monday.com allows the storefronts to keep track of the online sale status all in one convenient place that one of our users keeps updated as the status of the sale changes.

Our business has produced a new level of communication and understanding of work needing to be completed that we did not have prior to using Monday.com. Prior to using Monday.com, we were primarily using texts and phone calls to communicate, but by not using an all-inclusive form of communication, a lot of vital information was lost in the weeds and Monday.com has resolved all of these issues. Monday.com allows us to keep all communication local to the problem in question, while not losing the information needed to succeed.

The communication/update section on each assignment is excellent. The ability to ask and answer questions and update each other on the progress of an assignment, while staying in the confines of that specific assignment, while also not disturbing other assignments or adding confusion is a priceless asset. 

As I included in my previous answer, we were primarily using texts and phone calls to communicate, but by not using an all-inclusive form of communication, a lot of vital information was lost in the weeds and Monday.com has resolved all of
these issues. 

Monday.com allows us to keep all communication local to the problem in question, while not losing the information needed to succeed.

There should be on-screen PC/Mac notifications when the website/service is not open on the screen. If they made it similar to a social media notification, that would be a bonus. From what I've been able to find, this is not a current feature with Monday.com. 

Another area of improvement would probably be a form of inclusion from outside sources of communication. I would love to be able to read a Monday.com notification on an Apple Watch, use voice-to-text to respond to the said notification, and then have that response get added to the Monday.com assignment in question.

Again, these may already be implemented in some form or fashion, however, I have yet to find them.

Our business has been using Monday.com for almost two years now.

Our company's instance of Monday.com is cloud-hosted and we have no impression of the service halting in the future. We plan to use this service as our sole project management solution.

Our company's instance of Monday.com is fairly small compared to other instances that I have seen. Our company only has around 25 employees that use Monday.com on a day-to-day basis. We keep everything within a couple of pages, and I've seen corporations that have dozens of pages open within their instance with each page essentially being used as an individual storefront. I have definitely seen cases of use where we could grow our company's instance into much more in-depth management, however, we have yet to see a need to.

We have had minimal communication with customer service and/or support, only due to the fact that we haven't needed support in any way so far. Everything has run smoothly.

Positive

We have tried multiple solutions in the past (Asana, Whatsapp), however, have found that Monday.com has been the easiest product to integrate completely into our day-to-day with our staff. 

We have a staff of upper-level management that doesn't always want to conform to new technological inclusions into our business, especially on a day-to-day level, and we have had little to no push back on our integration with Monday.com. 

All levels of management use it on a day-to-day basis and company-wide, we have had great success in communication and a higher rate of completion by the deadline on projects and assignments created within the Monday.com platform.

The initial setup is completely straightforward. Our VP had no issues setting up the service for our company.

The solution was implemented in-house.

Our ROI with Monday.com is primarily based on job accuracy and completion by goal dates issued by upper management. While we don't directly quantify a financial ROI for Monday.com within our business, we do acknowledge the growth in information retainment, higher job accuracy within our lower-level staff, and higher completion by goal dates company-wide since implementing Monday.com into our business.

I'd advise new users to prepare to budget around Monday.com being a needed product that is never considered a dropable product. It has become a massive asset to our day-to-day production, and we plan to run full speed with Monday.com as our primary project management tool. 

It was extremely simple and easy to set up for our vice president who was then able to individually invite the required staff into our company's instance of Monday.com, and within an hour he had created the infrastructure that we have operated for the last two years.

As I said previously, we have tried multiple solutions in the past (Asana, Whatsapp). I have found that Monday.com has been the easiest product to integrate completely into our day-to-day with our staff.

Monday.com is a fantastic project management tool that our company would recommend to any company working in any field with a deadline.

I use this solution for project management and events planning. I manage a school (kids from three years to 17 years old). In my school there are more than 1200 students and 80 teachers, so it has been hard to organize them all. We use the Google Suite, however, we needed a tool to manage the projects and plan the events.

We also use it to organize the documentation we need to have to achieve our quality standards. As we can have a clear view of what we have and what we do not; we realize in what areas we have to work harder.

It has helped me to organize the important things, projects, and events in a better way. We have bought ten accounts for the managers, so we are connected and working on the projects. We would like to integrate all of our collaborators but it is expensive. 

Since we started to use Monday, we have been able to have a clear view of how organized we are, we have created a board for the important things that the school has to do. We assign responsibilities for each activity and they receive an email about it, it is awesome. 

The most valuable tools I have found on Monday.com are the calendar, automatization, and the capabilities to link apps like Google Forms. We have been able to integrate our Google Suite to Monday. 

It is also good to receive reminders about projects and deadlines. Besides that, it has been not hard to learn how to use it. I really love the integrations, we use Integromat to link our Google Forms to Monday. 

It is also a great app for desktops and cellphones. 

I have found many good options to organize my time, my projects, and my events.

It should be cheaper. 

It should have more options to create panels.

It should also have options to share the boards or some info directly to Gmail. 

In premium accounts, the amount of transactions allowed is so low. We have not been able to integrate more apps due to this limitation. 

There is not enough information in Spanish. Most of my users do not speak English. It has been hard to learn to use all the functions.

I would also want some plans with fewer permissions. Maybe they could have access to just one board so that accounts could be cheaper. We have 80 teachers and we need that they are enrolled in just one board. We do not want to pay just for one board. 

I've used the solution for two years. 

We have not had problems with the solution. There have just been some crashes on my iPad.

I really like that we can grow as much as we want. The only bad thing is the price.

It has been good. I have written two times and I have received good and quick answers.

Positive

I did not use a different solution. We use the Google Suite, however, it is not the same. It does not have a management tool.

There is not enough information in Spanish; the tutorial videos were not so clear, however, it is easy to use it.

I implemented the product by myself.

The ROI of using this app has been 4 to 1 as we have optimized our work.

I always say it is expensive, yet it is worth it, especially if you run a company with many projects and events.

We evaluated Asana, however, we did not like it at all. We also tried ToDo app, however, it was not enough.

There should be cheaper plans with fewer options and maybe with access to one board or something like that.

We use Monday.com to manage all of our design and marketing departments. It helps us track all the projects in the pipeline, who is the lead of the project, and who is the designer. This makes it easy for our marketing strategists, who are in charge of the designers, to see which projects each of the designers are working on and be able to assign tasks easier. 

We do a lot of events organizing on Monday.com too. This is why we like to have specifically different boards for our tasks that aren't the same as our everyday boards. 

We love that we can track all past projects that we've done, and segment them based on who worked on the project. We work with a lot of clients that need a breakdown of everything that we've implemented each quarter for them. Being able to export a PDF based on the tags on each task has made it a breeze for us to stay organized and know exactly what we've done for each of our clients. We have 200+ clients, so sometimes it can be chaotic, however, Monday.com makes that aspect so much easier for us. 

Adding subitems to each task has made multi-dimensional projects easier to manage. We have a lot of projects for the events and tradeshows that we host, and sometimes we need to break down a simple project into multiple steps and assign each subitem to a different person. 

We also love that we can keep track of the status of the project and assign deadlines, as well as have tabs on where the project is in the process. 

Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity.  

We'd really like to have the ability to have different types of boards within a board. Sometimes we don't need the same columns for every task and we'd like to customize each task board within the motherboard. We use to have tasks with different columns and information rather than it having to be the same for every task board within the main board. This would make it so much easier for us when it comes to special projects that have varying needs and not every column will fit into the same board. 

I've used the solution for about one year now, however, my team has been using it for more than two years. 

The stability is great. 

The scalability is great. 

I personally have not had any experience with customer support, however, technical issues are usually fixed very quickly. 

Positive

We used to use multiple different programs, including Teams, however, it didnt have as much functionality that we need. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and super easy to navigate. 

We handled the setup in-house. 

It's definitely worth the cost when you are using it for work or for a team of employees that you need to manage. 

We evaluated Microsoft Teams, Asana, etc.
