monday.com Reviews

Since January 2025, I have been working as a CEO, so I'm not doing a lot of hands-on tasks anymore, but I'm using lots of Google tools and monday.com, mainly.

The Google tools I'm using include Google Analytics, and I utilize analytics and all the advertisement platforms they have. I do not work with Google Analytics 360.

I mostly use monday.com for reports, as the company's use case is for workflow and for CRM. I'm using it only for reports.

The most valuable features of monday.com are mainly its flexibility that I can add any field that I want and it's very light. That's the main thing, and from my perspective, it's also that it's subscription-based per user.

Overall, monday.com has impacted my organization positively, providing an overall view and an end-to-end view of status. I gain more visibility.

The user experience of monday.com can be better, but this is true for any platform.

It could be more user-friendly. From my perspective, it's how you handle the fields, but I'm not the one that's using it, so these are observations I've heard about.

Since January 2025, I have been working as a CEO, so I'm not doing a lot of hands-on tasks anymore, but I'm using lots of Google tools and monday.com, mainly.

Regarding stability and reliability so far, it's good. I have no issues and I've not heard of any issues.

So far, scalability has proved itself to me as good. I hope to expand by increasing the number of users or to include monday.com in our infrastructure. I am confident that monday.com is able to do that.

I have not personally communicated with the technical support of monday.com. I don't know if I needed any help or any cases that needed to be solved, as I'm not the one that's handling it.

Before monday.com, I used Excel for these use cases. I chose to switch from Excel to something else because I grew the number of customers, and everything grew, and I just needed something which would be more reliable.

We did evaluate other options before monday.com, but I don't remember which one.

For advanced reporting features of monday.com pertaining to my use cases, I'm using only the reports. I don't think I use any advanced reporting features; I only use things that are out-of-the-box there.

We do leverage automation capabilities of monday.com in our use case. I wouldn't know how important and useful these automation capabilities are for me, as I'm not the one that's doing the implementation. I do feel the impact of automation on my workflow; it has become quicker, and I've managed to save some time. It's very useful. The time-to-market is very good.

The detailed dashboards on monday.com are good. I'm using it on a daily basis.

They have not helped me improve productivity across departments like HR, sales, and marketing, as it's not relevant for my use case. We're not using it for that.

I chose monday.com mainly because of the subscription-based model and no commitment, which caught my eye.

I rate this review at 7 out of 10.

We use the solution for various purposes, including demand management, project management, logging pre-sales activities, and planning. It helps us keep track of customer budgets, leads, and other important information related to demand and project management.

The tool's most valuable feature is its intuitive interface, which allows project managers to create comprehensive project roadmaps. This interface lets us list tasks and allocate them to team members, tracking who works on which task and when. We utilize it for project management from the initial phase.

The solution is flexible. The grid-based interface allows for customization, so I can focus only on what's relevant. This flexibility and dynamic sorting among the columns are strong features. Another valuable aspect is the board feature, which allows for much customization. You can organize your work, weeks, or schedule according to your preferences.

monday.com's dashboard feature helps boost my team's productivity. I've found the Azure DevOps integration to be the most beneficial. I believe there are third-party extensions available on the marketplace that fill the integration gap. It seems that monday.com is working with vendors in the market to make more of these integrations available.

It's a great tool. It allows me to manage many things in one place, both my tasks and day-to-day interactions within the team. I think the whole team resonates with it. 

I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com.

I have been working with the product for one and a half years. 

We haven't experienced any lag so far. We use monday.com for cross-team collaboration. I can attach files and it works like a charm. The cloud version is very responsive for us, which is great. I rate its stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 400 users who spend at least an hour daily using it. 

We switched from Jira because monday.com offers a much more intuitive interface. It's more stable and has a simpler learning curve. Additionally, the interface is more visually appealing and easier to navigate than Jira, which we found to be more complex.

I rate the tool's deployment ease as seven out of ten. I found the installation process to be straightforward. Setting up multifactor authentication may take some time for those who are not tech-savvy. 

Within a week of management making the decision. It was up and running quickly, taking only a few hours or days for setup. Overall, I would classify the deployment process as simple.

We can see ROI due to the solution's ease of use and improved management capabilities it offers. It has certainly alleviated a lot of pain points for us in management.

I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. 

I rate the tool a seven out of ten. My advice would be to explore the capabilities that it provides. Many people overlook some of its features. For instance, check out the options available in the marketplace. There might be integrations or extensions that monday.com doesn't offer out of the box, but third-party extensions can fill those gaps. Also, take a close look at the features within monday.com. Consider what you need to customize versus what it offers out of the box.

I am a consultant who helps companies implement monday.com. I do not use the solution at my organization. The use case depends on the client. Every company needs tools for collaboration and organization, and most use Office 365, Google Docs, etc. Around 80 percent of my clients are agencies, but they've reached the limits of what they can do in terms of collaboration with their existing tools. 

Most of the clients who contact me already know that they want to implement monday.com, so it's not like I'm selling them the solution. They want something to facilitate their collaboration and communication. 

monday.com is an excellent tool to follow your project timeline to see where you are and where you want to go. It's super flexible. Thanks to all the automation, you can do practically anything with monday.com. 

It's great for managers. The dashboard gives you an overview of your team's workload, so you can see how long it takes for each person to complete a task. There are many kinds of dashboards, each with widgets that offer insight into what is happening. 

monday.com helps you avoid delays because you can visualize your deadlines and track your progress. It can help you break down silos in an organization to some extent, but it's just a tool. Some companies think a tool will change everything. The tool will help you manage your files, but it depends on the company's politics and how people want to work together. If your directors and managers want to avoid silos, monday.com will help them do that easily. It's an excellent tool for collaborating across various services, but it depends on the company's policy. 

I like the automation you can do with monday.com. You can automate priorities, status changes, notifications, etc. You may need another solution to create this automation in other tools, but monday.com includes everything. The Gantt view for project planning is also pretty good. 

The interface is another area where monday.com shines. It is colorful and visually appealing. You can paint with colors, and there are multiple views. If you are the type of person who wants all of your information displayed linearly, you can set it up in lines. 

It's the best tool for evaluating timelines and projects. The most challenging part is deciding how you want to display your information, but as soon as you know what you're doing, it's effortless to view where you are in the project and who's involved. 

You can set up a simple project in under five minutes, but a super complex one might take a few days. I think it's straightforward if you know how you want to organize your information.

monday.com is accessible to non-technical users but takes a lot of time. They have many tutorials, and you can easily use monday.com if you can take the time to go through them and learn. When you initially create a project, it's only a board with lines on which you enter the tasks. You have some columns with the task owner, status, deadlines, etc. It is not that easy to understand all the features and how you can use them for your case, which is why people contact me.

When you implement the tool, you decide which layout to use and what information you want to disclose. I've seen clients who have been using this for three years, and they still only know how to do things one way because they haven't taken the time to understand all the features. It's crucial to spend time at the start and learn the tool. I don't think the learning curve is that huge. 

monday.com is missing a few features but not many. For example, let's say you're working on a global project for a marketing campaign, and you have the video team working on it. Maybe the video team only wants a board that shows the packages that are related to them, but you cannot do that on monday.com. You can't have the same task in multiple projects. 

I have been working with monday.com for about a year.

If you are doing a lot of automation, it can start to lag a little. 

monday.com is highly scalable. You can use it with teams of any size. 

I am a partner, so I have access to many different resource sets. I have never contacted their tech support because I already have access to all the information I need.

I use Asana every day, and we work with Optix. I've also used Trello and Excel. Asana is easier to use, but monday.com is more flexible and can do more. Asana is user-friendly, and monday.com is more powerful.

Setting up the tool is straightforward, but you also need to consider the process that you're implementing and do some work beyond the tool itself. I have teams of 20 to 30 people, and three or four are usually involved in the integration. After deployment, it doesn't require any maintenance. It just works.

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 rate monday.com a nine out of ten. I remove one point for the performance issues. I recommend taking your time in the beginning. Don't rush into implementation. It's only a tool, and you can't expect it to instantly transform your organization. Take the time to understand all the features and what you hope to get from it. 

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 a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down. 

Additionally, the synchronization feature is not functioning optimally.

I have been using monday.com for two years.

There are issues with stability, such as network and performance slowdowns.

We only use it within our department, comprising 50 to 70 people. We are uncertain about its scalability in other departments.

I've never contacted customer support for monday.com as I am not responsible for managing the tool.

Neutral

The initial setup was easy. I would rate it an eight out of ten for ease of setup.

We are considering building a custom tool in our company rather than using another commercial tool.

There must be other tools more useful than monday.com, but so far, it's good for our needs. I would recommend it for normal company users with standard project management requirements.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

It's for cross-collaboration across multiple departments and external partners to have clear information in one centralized place rather than emails or spreadsheets.

The main benefit has been having something that is non-Microsoft-based software for integration, where there are more ways for you to not let everyone create duplicates. So, access management obviously is one thing, and the other thing is that it's a central repository with very clear features. You can add names, and you can add people in different splits. For me, its benefits are communication, clarity, and transparency on plans and also the ability to access the data asynchronously across the business.

It hasn't helped much with reducing project delays, but it has been helpful for project participation and collaboration. All of the work is marketing or campaign-based. It's more about information sharing and clarity rather than making things faster. It's just about making things work together. We were not doing that previously, but now, we are doing it. We are 50% better because previously, we were not able to do it, but now, we are able to do it. The other half is the people aspect of it.

There is more clarity on what other people are doing. Previously, things were locked in behind spreadsheets and SharePoints. In a large organization, you don't have access to everything. So, a lot of times, it took a lot of time to just ask for access to different things, whereas now, people need to come and put things forward.

Shareable boards with external partners and a couple of automations are valuable. I also like the simplicity or the clarity of the platform, and how it's a one-stop shop for everything rather than having multiple spreadsheets and folders.

There is definitely a learning curve in setting it up and using its features. What is lacking is some more proactivity from the monday.com team to teach. They gave us ours, but they never reached out to check if we wanted to use more of the features or do any kind of improvement on the usage. It has been very hands-off even though we had a couple of hours with them. Any nudge, videos, and things like that would be helpful. Other companies have done a much better job in terms of educating users, but at the same time, non-tech companies never thought about workflows and automation in that sense.

The ability to build the dashboard and visualizations out of the data that is in the platform could be better. There are no color themes and no further customization on that front, so you cannot brandify or white label all the platforms to make it look more like your business rather than a generic one.

In terms of flexibility, sometimes, I'd like to lock more features so people cannot add things that are not validated. At the same time, there are sometimes too many features and you don't know which one would be best for each use case or each type of data. That's where working with someone who is the monday.com champion would help from their end. 

In terms of providing the insight to empower decision-making, it's very user dependent. In my case, the main challenge is to get people to fill in the data and provide the data into it. There's no way to load the data from a spreadsheet or do something like that. A couple of the integrations with other platforms are a bit lacking. If I want to import something from Jira, it hasn't been bifurcated. How do I import things from Trello or other platforms? The integrations with Teams to send chats are also not that great. It claims to have a lot of integrations, but when you do a big deep dive into those integrations, they are not quite there, or you need to program a lot. You feel unsure of how to do it. It starts to become time-consuming after that initial adoption. It becomes more of an organizational challenge if you are in a big business. It doesn't necessarily sponsor the project management office to have those automations.

We have been using it for 18 months to two years.

The uptime has been 98% from what I've checked. I had more issues with them locking out our licenses because of their own internal mistakes. So, technically, it's good. I had to email them three or four times because our license expired or something like that, and I constantly get a tag of when your trial version is going to end. So, it's a bit annoying from a customer service perspective.

It's scalable, but you need someone to manage the solution. It will never be very automatic to put a lot of people in and do lots of bulk edits. That's the piece that I'm more concerned about. You will need someone more technical to do such things.

It's mostly used within marketing across different local offices and then the global central office, but it's primarily marketing. It's a small team.

We've got 80 licenses that we've got approved, but we've got 180 users. What happens is that we give access to a lot of agencies to visualize the data. That's usually the most important thing, but they're not all participants in the workflow. It's more like they can see what's happening. It's not like we have 180 people logging in every day.

In terms of maintenance or governance, we don't have all the things because there's no one who's a technical product owner of the solution, which is the main challenge when adopting these things. The first couple of months, it's easy, but as you start to create the technical depth of owning a platform, it's a hidden thing, and people don't realize that that work needs to be done.

I'd rate it a five out of ten. I haven't used it a lot. They could do some more customer success where they do more proactive scouting for opportunities telling us that we see that you have five boards that are the same, you should do this with them, or we see that this field here is having lots of different entries, this is how you fix it. That's what I expected to do with them, which I haven't.

Neutral

We relied on Excel spreadsheets, which was terrible. It was mostly manual work, and there was a lack of continuity when people left.

I am doing its implementation. We have 80 pay users and then another 80 on the agency side, but we have lots of different pods of users of monday.com across the business as well, which is a bit challenging. We have people using monday.com adopting the license from the agency instead of our own license. It's more of an internal challenge than a monday.com challenge, and then monday.com is also not able to disclose who's using it from a privacy point of view.

The initial deployment is easier, but it becomes more complex over time. The more use cases and the more people you have, the more you start to need someone dedicated to all the management, such as handling access and managing the platform as an asset. The internal change in the business is also what's driving us to be able to adopt it. It's not only on the platform, it's how the businesses are changing, especially working on different sites or in different location time zones. These are the things that typically did not happen before because there were fewer digitally shared things.

It took us a year to reach some kind of saturation of users. The way you set up the board is fairly quick. One thing we're struggling with now is the governance of it and having multiple boards with the same information and not being able to govern them correctly. You do one or two boards, it's fine, but if you do 10 of the same piece, suddenly, you need to have some governance. Those are the kind of things that we would have done more with the monday.com team, but I know nobody else pushed that much. In my opinion, it's more on them to nag us on customer success than the other way around. That's how it happens with my other partners. They try to get us more engaged.

It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well. The difference between adopting it across both is more than twice the cost.

We didn't have any other tool. I brought it in as a champion to the business. The big challenge in a large organization is that adopting IT software becomes shadow IT because it just becomes hard to manage it. The other piece is that if you adopt a couple of users here and there, they don't want to invoice users individually in five different countries, which is completely understandable from a business cost perspective, but it's definitely a barrier to adoption. They've been super flexible on this in terms of allowing us to bring users, but from an admin perspective, it has been hard to adopt when it's bottom-up adoption.

It's good for helping break down silos within our organization. If people do adopt it, it becomes easier for everyone to see the data in one place. It doesn't solve the problem when the organization is really messy, but it's a key driver for data sharing transparency and reduction of emails.

You need to define the process first rather than trying to get the tool to solve the process. It's a medium to enable something that is already somewhat defined in your business. You probably need a change management sponsor because adopting new tools is a lot about user engagement. I'd advise having someone who's going to manage the tool moving ahead. You cannot just adopt and have no one who is going to be the actual admin of it because it will create complexity over time, even if it's going to simplify things in the long run. So, keep that in mind when doing it.

It's pretty straightforward but only for more technical people. I've been using it for a long time. I've been using it in other companies, and it's a four out of five in terms of ease of use for non-technical people. I really enjoyed the tool, and I'm a champion of it within my business.

People who are not used to project management or some scrum methodologies or anything like that might struggle with it because typically, people think in waterfall or Gantt charts, so they don't have the management background to run these things. In terms of its ease of use for non-technical users, I'd rate it a seven out of ten.

It's quite good for viewing projects and timelines. Being a mostly web-based platform, there are a couple of limitations to how you visualize it. I don't use it a lot for that use case. Typically for me, the most value is for a centralized slate that is not a spreadsheet where you can add project items rather than digitized timelines. My projects are less time-bound and more feature-bound, so timings are not so important for me. I'd rate it a seven out of ten from that perspective.

Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten. I'm still happy and still pushing forward and going ahead.

I'm a COO of multiple companies that do business management consulting. I implement monday.com at every company that I work with for managing workflow, HR, SOPs, payroll, invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, meetings, and agendas.

If people know what they're doing, or the boards are put up the right way, or dashboards have been built, managers can usually assess how far along a project is and what needs to happen next. It's pretty amazing at showing a project's completion rate. You can pull almost any data you need out of it.

It helps me in terms of reducing project delays by giving me a bigger, comprehensive idea of where a project is at by listing the critical path, all the steps, and creating milestones of what needs to get done next. monday.com does a pretty great job of tracking the statuses of projects.

It's also great for breaking down communication silos between different departments that are not talking to each other. Being able to mirror boards or different departments' projects, statuses, and completion rates on other boards are elements that really help people to understand what might be delaying them in one department, and that this other department is coming along and getting things done. While people know which boards they need to be on because they're working on a given project, they are able to "get inside" other departments without being overwhelmed by their workload.

Collaboration is quicker through updating status boards and setting up automation for notifications. Before, you might have had a Google Sheet that said, "This bill is paid, or this task is done." Using logic-based automation means that it can function such that, "If this turns to this, then notify these people."

It gives me an overall view of everything someone is working on. I can go to the My Work feature, click on someone's name, and see all the tasks assigned to that person; their whole workload. One of the things we've implemented in our company is that if you're working on something, it has to be in monday.com. There are no other boards or other checklists that people are using somewhere else. That way, when I want to see somebody's full workload or the projects they're working on, I can do so. That's probably my favorite feature.

I like the fact that it's drag-and-drop. The way I explain it to people is that it's Excel on steroids. The interface, visually, is great, and I give it five stars for viewing projects and timelines.

I like the integrations and workflows as well. When I am running agendas or workflows, I'm able to automate follow-ups. We create an agenda meeting board and assign tasks in real time. We'll follow up on the tasks in real time. We have people's agendas and work assignments all managed in monday.com. 

And being able to duplicate a successful board architecture as a template and implement that in other companies or departments is helpful.

monday.com is also flexible and very robust. I can basically do anything with it. Whenever I meet with a client, I find out what systems they're already working with. There are a lot of integrations and APIs available with monday.com, so I can usually have it pull data from other sites or other systems, or build custom workflows. The amount of integrations that it does, along with the ability to import boards from a Google Doc or Sheet, makes it pretty successful.

I would like the web-based app to be able to switch between different accounts. The mobile app can switch between accounts pretty easily, but with the web-based app, you have to log out and log back in to do it.

I've been using monday.com for about three years.

Stability-wise, it's an 8.5 out of 10. There are updates going on all the time and sometimes you have to refresh your board. But it's pretty stable.

It's scalable, 100 percent. There are no issues with that.

I very rarely use their technical support, but when I have had a question, I've never had it take longer than a couple of days for them to reach out to me or get the right tech onboard with me.

Positive

I was in the Google Workspace world for a bit, and I still use that, but I did not previously use a work management program like monday.com.

The setup is all pretty easy. The hardest part is building the templates. But once I imported my boards and the workflows that I normally use, it wasn't difficult. 

And when I meet with a client, I look at their current solutions and build boards for workflows based on their checklists or their steps. I build their action items or critical path for a project into workflows and then create templates for them. From that point, they can pretty much use them and modify them as needed.

It does not take very long at all to create new projects. That's one of the reasons I chose to jump in with the solution. Once I realized how easily I could import my current work programs and implement them, I was up and running pretty quickly. It didn't take me a long time to bring my data into it. The import feature is pretty quick.

The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it.

I looked at a few, but I fell in love with the way monday.com works, so I didn't spend too much time on other companies.

It's pretty easy to use although it's a little intimidating at the beginning and people are a little apprehensive about learning it, because it is so robust and there are so many features. But once I force people to get into the ecosystem, they really start to understand it. Usually, the most difficult part for me is getting somebody to sign up for what, for them, amounts to another app or website or system they have to learn. But once they're in it, it's pretty easy for people to understand.

Once I've got somebody on the platform, after a couple of days they're usually pretty good with understanding how to navigate and get around in it. I usually have a little boot camp board for them to go through, so they learn some of the features. The challenge is just getting somebody to actually spend the time to go through and do it.

Another difficult part is trusting a team to use all the features available. A lot of people don't necessarily understand how to connect boards or how to implement their own ideas in it. As long as they utilize me as a resource and say, "Hey, this is the idea, and this is what I wanted to be doing on it," and allow me to jump in and connect all the dots for them, I'm able to help. But that's often one of the biggest challenges.

I would advise you to get somebody who is comfortable with monday.com, or an expert, to assist with the program. Dedicating a person to really assist all departments in utilizing it as much as possible is going to help.

I work for a company called Enreap and we are a preferred partner and reseller of monday.com, based in India. I lead the practice of Monday.com within my organization for the entire APAC region. I take care of product operations for monday.com in the region, including the entire sales, implementation, and support cycles.

With regard to the use case, I started off using monday.com for product management. Now, I cater to several use cases, including project management, CRM, sales, product development, HR, and admin.

Recently I've been working with a customer from a logistics company wherein I'm building their entire HR system on monday.com. I'm also working with a manufacturing company to build their entire production cycle on monday.com.

My organization now uses monday.com internally for service delivery management, as well as to track ongoing internal initiatives. First and foremost, as a result, collaboration has improved drastically. There is flexibility to have collaboration across the different functions of the organization.

Another way we have benefited is visibility, wherein the key stakeholders at the C level have visibility into the entire timeline of an initiative. They have clear updates on what's happening and the current status of an initiative. The C level is concerned about the reporting so we have set it up so that there is a workstation that every team or function is working from. That data gets rolled up to the C level so they have consolidated reports available at the click of a button.

In addition, we use real-time reporting. Previously, people used to struggle for a couple of hours before project reviews to get the data to prepare presentations and reports. Now, the reports are available at the click of a button. The entire report generation process has scaled down to a matter of a few minutes.

Breaking down silos is one of the biggest use cases of monday.com. It has cross-functional collaboration capabilities, which definitely break down the silos right away, the moment you start collaborating.

It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable.

monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes.

Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well.

Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data.

There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start.

And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds. 

There are a lot of areas that monday.com is building solutions on. For example HRMS, Ecommerce, Logistics, and Retail. There are very few options for customers that need an on-premise server as this iSaaS-based solution (Cloud). There is a lot of work going on in the roadmap to improve functionality with common Chat systems like WhatsApp and other Financial Accounting Systems (FAS).  

As a partner, we are enabling our customers to integrate with third-party tools using custom APIs and other connectors available.

I've been using monday.com for almost four years.

It's stable. I've rarely seen it go down. Even for Enterprise accounts, where a customer of mine has 1,500 users using the solution, it's pretty fantastic.

There is no end to the scalability with monday.com. You can scale up as much as you want and define as many functions as you want. You can define as many rows, items, and columns as you need. There's no end to it. You can define as many automations and integrate as many tools as you want.

I have contacted their support several times. We use the solution internally in our organization but, at the same time, I sell monday.com to a lot of customers because I'm a channel partner and there have been some billing issues. In India, where we are located, if you're not a registered company you can't collect recurring payments. monday.com isn't a registered company here so recurring transactions have stopped completely. That is why some of our customers do need support and we have had to raise a ticket when it's time to renew their licenses.

I rate their tech support at six out of 10. The reason is that it takes a bit of time. There is a lot of back and forth and there is very little that the tech support can really help with because most of the customizations and requests need to be handled by the product team. Their tech support has very little know-how about what needs to be done and you end up relying on the product team. Due to this a lot of people switch to a workaround, doing it on their own and coming up with their own solution. That's one area where significant improvement is needed.

We used to use Jira but it was predominantly being used from a technical standpoint. In our organization, we have about 70 team members on the delivery side who are purely technical, and about 100 members who are non-tech users in marketing, HR, ITIL desk, initiative tracking, and program management. The non-tech members were finding it a little difficult and cumbersome to manage Jira. To manage Jira, you need to have a certain level of technical acumen.

Creating a project in Jira takes a bit of time compared to monday.com because you need to map a lot of the details in a project and create epics, tasks, et cetera. 

It's a cloud-based platform that is deployed on AWS. There are no private servers to install for monday.com. It's a purely SaaS platform. So you just put in the URL and log in and you're done. There isn't really a particular deployment. You just sign up for an account and that's it.

Because it's SaaS there is zero maintenance. All maintenance is taken care of by monday.com.

It has definitely helped to reduce project delays. We did an ROI calculation with a couple of our customers where we deployed monday.com and we managed to save no less than 15,000 hours per year for a team of 50 or 60 people. Multiplied by the daily employee wage in India for an average worker of $10 an hour, that's a return of $150,000.

monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit higher than most of its competitors, but when compared to the ROI year on year, it does justify the investments. 

Pricing needs to be linked to the available features, capabilities, and flexibility in customization. Once you have the automation and integrations in place correctly the ROI is much better than with the other tools. 

We did look at Asana and I had some experience with it as well as with Zoho Projects. But monday.com turned out to be pretty intuitive and easy to adopt. The learning curve was pretty low compared to Asana and Zoho. 

And with Zoho, there is a very fixed structure and much less customization available. If I wanted to set my delivered value as ARR, for example, I couldn't rename that particular field in other solutions. That lack of customization was a deal breaker for us.

Training is a part of the onboarding process that I do for my customers. If you talk about two years ago, it used to take around one or one and a half months to onboard 50 users. Today, with the adoption of low-code, no-code, and AI, people have gotten used to having a tool that is easy and flexible. Now, the entire learning curve has been reduced and, within two to three weeks, I have 50 users onboarded.

My advice would be that before you buy it you need to know your use case really well and there has to be a particular challenge or pain point identified. Are you facing difficulties in tracking? Are you having problems with visibility into your resources and capacity? Are you having difficulties with reporting or streamlining your workflows? If your answer to any of these issues is "Yes, I do have that," monday.com is definitely an answer and solution for you.

Overall, I would rate the solution at around 8.5 to nine out of 10. 

I used the tool for my assignment as I am a university student. I use the tool as a project management solution for presentations. I am using the tool to manage my final year presentation and thesis. As I am required to use a project management tool, I started to use monday.com, specifically because its interface is quite attractive and easy to use.

For project management purposes, I use monday.com to manage my timelines.

I don't really use the tool's advanced features, but I think it is quite convenient that I can just link the remaining timeline to calculate the set of end dates and the start dates. The tool can also auto-calculate the remaining days, and I can also figure out whether it is overdue or is still within the timeline that I had set, making things quite convenient for me.

The product fails to provide a free version for a long period of time. From an improvement perspective, the tool should provide its free version for a longer time. If I want to use the product after I have completed my assignment, or if I want to use it for some of my other projects, I don't really get to use it again.

I have been using monday.com for two months. I am a user of the tool.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I am just using the product for my assignment.

I rate the product's initial setup phase a seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is easy and one is difficult.

The product's deployment phase took a day after watching a tutorial from YouTube.

The solution is available on its website.

I am using the tool's free version.

The tool's automation feature is not relevant for me because I don't really need it for my assignment.

I recommend the tool to others because it is easy to use, but I am not sure whether it would still be easy to use if you have more complex applications.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
