monday.com Reviews

It's a great app for project leading. As an event and promotion agency, we're more than ever very sensitive to all the costs of managing and communicating streams of understanding. We also use it for event and shift scheduling. 

It's great for feedback with clients where you could have all the relevant information associated with a particular project in one place. The solution is great for sharing attachments and links for all photo albums on our Google Drive. 

I definitely use it for my personal goals and projects. 

All the improvements though years are very handy.

We were struggling with duplicate information previously and Monday brought more effectiveness to our work in many ways. We could share all information in one "live" stream. 

With a client "on board" who's are very comfortable with this particular service, it helps to improve business relationships as well. 

When you have a tool that anybody can use from all devices, it spares some time so that you could do and handle way more things. 

The custom-made boards and solutions are good.

The dashboard is great for knowing what's most important and what's next. 

We would like to have more open boards at one time and more CRM functionalities.

We've used the solution for four years - since 2018.

The stability is great.

The scalability is great.

We used Asana. It was too difficult.

We've had an ROI of $560 USD.

I'd advise new users to always check you filled out their VAT ID.

We did not look at other options. It was love at first sight.

I'd advise customers to try it for free first and then decide. 

We use the solution for project management for upcoming large-scale events. We work with multiple departments on our events and to keep everyone on the same page using Monday.com.

It has been an efficient source for our team. We communicate with our graphics team the most through Monday with deadlines and approvals and edits. 

Monday.com keeps our entire team in check with deadlines and projects. We plan for multiple events at once so organization is key. This platform allows everyone on the team to be added to a board and also allows them to make their own board. 

The boards and the sub-boards are great. It helps our team divide up the important topics of each event logistics. A great feature is also being able to add viewers without the cost of a user, this allows other departments to view boards we create and share deadlines with people outside of our team or company. 

There have recently been a lot of lagging and loading delays with saving. This comes and goes, however, I have found it difficult to use when boards are unable to save when going back to update. 

Additional features that would be cool would be adding different formats for multiple workspaces on one board. Right now, each workspace has to have the same type of board set up and you're unable to have multiple types in one board. This becomes inconvenient sometimes because you like to keep everything under one topic type but with different layouts.

We've used the solution for two years.

We previously used Excel and email.

There are additional user fees.

My team and I use Monday.com for project management, task tracking, and internal communication. Also to keep version control and go back to the latest version or a final approved version of a particular project. 

In our company we support many business units with different needs and goals, we use Monday.com to plan our strategic communications and marketing efforts such as daily tasks, product launch progress, ongoing long-term projects, or media covering tracking.

The environment is a user-friendly interface that is easy to use and learn, yet it is very powerful and available in a browser as well as in an app.

The solution has helped us keep track of our work, by helping us keep organized in an environment that is friendly and easy to navigate. The automatic notifications on tasks help for visibility at a high level and the reminders on tasks and timelines help staff keep on top of their work.

Previous to using Monday.com at another company I was using other solutions Team Gantt and even Excel documents for project management. Those solutions are not powerful enough and definitely wouldn't fit the current needs at my job right now.

The most valuable aspects of the solution include:

1. Automatic notifications
This helps us keep track of everything. In the case of leaders of a project, they can see when a change was made within a task or when a task is done. In the case of staff, they get notifications once they're assigned to a task and keep getting reminders so they don't lose sight of the task.

2. Color coding and labels
Color coding and labels help us keep the interface lively and friendly with the benefit of assigning colors to different things such as the status of a task or in our case, different business units within the company.

3. The ability to add new members and keep communication flowing.
This is crucial for us to be able to share what's happening with different members of the organization outside of our department.

Perhaps a direct interface integration with social media channels would be ideal. We use Monday to schedule our social media posts. However, once everything is approved on Monday.com, we copy and paste it to another platform and then published it on a specific social media platform. Ideally, we could just publish straight from Monday.com.

Currently, we use Falcon to schedule and publish on our social media channels, however, the whole planning and approval process takes place on Monday.com.

A social integration directly from Monday.com will take away one step and the cost of another platform.

I have been using Monday.com for just over a year now.

It is rare that we have any issues with the app or the platform itself. It has been down every once in a while but it was not alarming, I'd say the solution is very stable.

Stability is great. In a previous role, only a handful of people used Monday.com in a separate department, in this new company a larger group uses it so it can be scalable to fit the needs of any business size.

I haven't had to use customer support yet. I haven't heard anything bad about it from my colleagues.

Positive

I was using TeamGantt. I left that company and we use Monday here.

the setup was straightforward and was set up by my IT department with just a quick sign-in.

Implementation took place before my time.

I'd advise users to do the research and not always go for what's the cheapest option. Users need to look at what's the right solution for their needs.

I was not part of the choosing team.

I am impressed with the interface and the look and feel without compromising performance.

We use the product for marketing, ordering inventory, new product process tracking, scheduling, and website maintenance.

It has improved team collaboration. The notifications are great. Seeing the status of all our many projects has been helpful. It's easy to export into Excel.

The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards. It's sharable and overall beyond easy to use and understand. 

I would like to see an app version similar to Teams, or even have them integrate with Teams. I would also like to have more templates available to choose from on different projects. We need more integration with Office 365.  

I've used the solution for two years.

I am very pleased and impressed with the stability.

I am very pleased and impressed with scalability.

In every job, I have had interactions with customers and support, and understand how it is important to listen, empathize and work together to communicate, both in positive and negative situations.

Positive

This was new to me when I joined the company. I didn't use something else.

Yes, the setup was straightforward and simple.

Monday.com has helped track, organize and optimize our production, ordering, web design, marketing, and scheduling. I cannot even start to truly measure the ROI we have seen in the different aspects it has helped bring our team together, track all our main projects and keep our businesses running smoothly as we grow and expand.

I am unaware of the pricing aspect.

We're pleased with Monday.com.

It is used internally, as well with our vendors and product manufacturers all over the world. It has truly helped us in so many ways.

The solution is used to keep track of time and effort on my job. It is also used to keep track of company projects such as event planning, social media planning, and to-do lists for everyday tasks. 

It's also a great way to stand up to an audit as we are funded by the US Department of Education. I find it to be very helpful in helping me see what my staff is up to on a daily basis and account for what was done and not done in the event of an issue with my boss. Our environment is very fast-paced and there is a lot to do all the time so Monday provides a quick solution. 

It provides us with an easy way to keep up with company projects and keep track of what each employee is doing. It's an awesome tool for us as all supervisors are able to look at their employee's work and account for the time that was used with our boss. 

It also does a great job with adding new features that have made our jobs easier such as giving us the option to upload files and pictures and it's super nice that they allow us to post gifs and bring a fun feel to our workspaces. 

The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list. My agency plans a lot of events - from college tours to large back to school events, to large community events. Being able to keep up with all the different moving parts and keeping it all In one once place is really helpful for me. There is no way I was able to pull off our back to school fest with over 500+ people if it had not been for being able to create a list of tasks and go through one by one and keep track of progress on each task in relation to that event. 

They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform. 

A few weeks ago, Monday.com wouldn't even come up, and on a normal day that poses a huge problem as we use this platform to ensure that employees are working on a daily basis. 

When you're not able to do that, that is a problem. I had to tell employees to record their work through email and that just creates a bunch of extra steps as opposed to logging on to Monday. I do not like this as it happened more than once. 

I've used Monday for about four years.

The stability is great.

The scalability is very good.

They offer very good customer support. 

Positive

I do not know if a previous solution was used. 

The set up was fairly easy. 

We implemented one-on-one with the company. 

Our ROI is very high.

I am not in on that process of licensing, therefore, I can speak to this question. 

We did not look into other options. 

I just want all the tech kinks to be worked out. It is an awesome platform. 

We use the solution for project management for designers, marketing, and comms teams. It's used for collaborating on campaigns and big projects alongside monitoring day-to-day tasks. Our work environment is in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) so we have a lot of fast turnaround projects for multiple brands. 

Monday helps us manage and organize these efficiently while allowing for total transparency to other people in the business, so they can check the statuses of their projects and liaise with different teams accordingly on details or updates.

It's made our lives so much easier. Managing multiple projects with various deadlines, updates, people and costs has become a breeze with Monday. 

We previously were using Excel and it was an absolute nightmare as it was so rigid, uncollaborative, and of course, didn't include anywhere near the number of features that Monday provides. 

It has also allowed transparency within the business in regards to workloads, timelines, and time management and allows team members to check up on their projects without lots of emails flying around.

Timeline and countdown systems have been great for us as well as the ability to "@" team members in comment sections to have collaborative conversations, give feedback, and share files. 

As a design team, we work very closely with the marketing team on bringing projects and ideas to life. It's great to have a system that allows us to do that fluidly and have visible conversations in case anyone further needs feedback or input at different stages on the project. 

Monday provides great capacity for storing files, conversations, and seeing the history of a project.

It would be good to have a countdown timer to a deadline date so you could see 'days remaining' to work on a project to help schedule time, as currently it only shows the end date. 

Also, a way to ensure sub-items in a project has a bit more visibility would be ideal, rather than being hidden in a drop-down.

It would be good as well to include some more interactive features within Monday, for example, for mood-boarding ideas and an easier way to live comment/feedback on files without having to leave multiple separate comments in the notes section.

I've used the solution for two years.

The solution is very stable.

For SMEs in particular, it's very scalable. It's great

I have a rep and she's always been helpful. We don't need much support as the system is very straightforward.

Positive

No previous solution was there, other than Excel.

The initial setup was easy and straightforward.

We did the setup using an in-house team.

The cost seems expensive, to begin with, however, it is well worth it if you utilize the system.

We also looked at Trello.

As a provider of professional education, Monday.com is used within our environment to manage a program lifecycle, assign tasks to individuals, and manage the delivery of our products end-to-end. We use it for tracking workflow from individual programs, informing managers of capacity and availability within a team, and making live requests using the 'form' functionality for website changes (by way of example). 

Monday.com provides a holistic oversight of all the activity required to complete a project from start to finish.

Used as a project management tool, our business is able to utilize the clear visual display provided by Monday.com to manage workloads, allocate tasks, and have a greater oversight of tasks within each program. 

The ability to change the layout of each project to the form of a Gantt chart, kanban, table, and more allows for more accessibility within the same programme. Users are able to choose a view that they find most beneficial, without having an impact on the content visible for managers within the business.

Using the deadline feature to manage priorities has been the most valuable. Having a visual representation of the week and month ahead in the 'My work' category allows for improved organization and workflow planning. Being able to tag other colleagues to support with tasks and allocate jobs when members of the team are taking annual leave has also proved incredibly helpful. The tagged member of staff knows what the job required of them is, has a deadline allocated, and is able to receive further information using the comment feature - it saves lengthy handover documentation.

The ability to implement a timetabling functionality would be really useful for an education provider. Currently, dashboards can only be created with a small number of boards (20 I believe) which can limit the amount of information to view across multiple boards. We can implement more programs within one board, however, this is not always useful when programs need to be archived each sitting. 

Easier reporting functionality or more regular training in this area would also be of great value to the business.

I've been using the solution for one year.

The solution's setup was straightforward and easy to navigate.

We also looked into:

• Asana
• Mavenlink
• Trello

We use Monday.com in our business as our main and core business strategy tracking platform allowing our strategy to be put in place, assigned to the relevant departments/team members, and then updates provided through the platform. Monday allows for all of this to be put in one place and the constant changes within the system allow for us to constantly grow our business strategy and ensure core objectives are reached throughout the year.

We are an e-commerce-based business that has multiple brands.

The system has helped improve our organization through better objective tracking. This has allowed us to put in place our business strategy and departmental strategy all into one platform and assign it to relevant team members who have specialities within the area.

Using Monday has also allowed us to use the time tracking feature which allows us to ensure the workload of our team isn't too high therefore ensuring that objective are still reached within the timeframe.

The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers. The possibilities surrounding the automation allows for the platform to run itself with very little manual work behind it for objectives which may have fallen overdue etc.

A further additional feature that is useful is the inbox which allows you to see all updates that have occurred throughout the company on a given day. This ensures you don't miss an important objective update.

I would really like to see the reporting functionality updated. Sometimes it feels as if the reports are too visual and lack the hardcore data behind it. If you could get reports all in one place that would then allows reporting across multiple workspaces and boards, this would be awesome. 

Additionally, albeit small, being able to create smaller more custom automation would be beneficial and would allow for further enhancements to the system. 

Overall, Monday is a good platform and the improvements suggested are minimal and would only support the positive experience. 

We have been using Monday.com for one year or more.

We previously used Cascade (Executive Strategy).

The pricing structure is all very transparent.
