Simplifies communication, offer helpful project labels, and is easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
  • "The service could improve in its ability to automatically update."

What is our primary use case?

As an email designer, I use Monday to organize copy for emails between myself and our e-commerce manager. It really helps us keep timelines straight and organized with information that could be easily lost in someone's inbox. 

Someone will upload a copy and any necessary imagery, and assign the task to the appropriate person and it helps keep every team member all on the same page.

The archive system is also very helpful for clearing out tasks once they're finished. 

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com is an easy and simple way to share ideas that can undoubtedly get lost in inboxes. 

It has simplified communication on our team when it comes to relaying any and all information for our email marketing campaigns. Nothing is getting lost in anyone's inbox - the information is all right there to be referenced by anyone at any time. 

All of our deadlines are being hit in a prompt manner with time to spare. This solution has made our organization very happy with managing timelines and workflow.

What is most valuable?

The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools. I find that this keeps everyone on the same page and limits questions about who's working on what and what stage that project is in. When those questions arise they can be answered by going to Monday.com and the team members who are working on the project can continue to work on it uninterrupted by simple questions. It helps keep the flow of the workday running without any hiccups.                    

What needs improvement?

The service could improve in its ability to automatically update. In my experience, if new projects are created or old projects have been updated the view of anyone who is already on Monday.com does not automatically update. This can lead to people working on old or outdated parts of projects. I have found it necessary to manually refresh the page periodically just to be sure everything I'm seeing is current and correct. This would be a nice update to include in the next release.

Easy to use with helpful columns and great search functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "We use the status column quite frequently and the search bar to easily find specific customers and orders."
  • "It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."

What is our primary use case?

We use Monday.com to keep track of custom orders and backorders. Lots of our work needs to be tracked throughout each stage so we use the different columns to easily link to CRM pages and invoice pages of each order. 

We also use this to keep track of deposit and balance payments as well as add tracking information and delivery statuses. This helps to show all orders and their statuses at a glance. Thanks to Monday, we avoid having orders forgotten or sent at the incorrect time.                

How has it helped my organization?

We are able to efficiently keep track of orders throughout each stage from ordering to dispatch. Monday.com displays this in an easy-to-view way. We use the link option to easily link our orders to our customer CRM pages and invoices. We also use the status columns to keep track of payment and dispatch. We have transitioned from Excel to Monday.com and have seen a huge decrease in errors. With its easy-to-use features, we are much more efficient and effective in processing orders.

What is most valuable?

We use the status column quite frequently and the search bar to easily find specific customers and orders. 

It also helps to be able to organize boards under different categories with folders to make them easy to locate. 

We use the collapse group function to help us easily locate current orders and business matters without needing to lose information from past orders. 

It’s been helpful to be able to allocate items to different staff members and notifications help to make sure that we do not forget any tasks.

What needs improvement?

It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards. For example, if the status in one board were to be changed to a certain status, this would trigger an action in a different board. 

It would also help to be able to have a better day view of allocated tasks with due dates. Improved integration with different software would also be helpful to make processing orders much more efficient and reduce the risk of human error. These improvements would help to make the process much more streamlined.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We are impressed by the stability of Monday.com.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We’re very impressed by the custom abilities of Monday.com and how this can adapt to all our needs.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Excel and chose to switch as it was too manual and open to human error.

How was the initial setup?

The setup process was very straightforward as the setup prompts were clear and easy to follow.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are happy with the pricing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes, we considered many options, however, they were all too complicated and not what we were looking for.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great live updating, allows accessibility from various devices and has great dashboards
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "We would like to have more open boards at one time and more CRM functionalities."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is great.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is great.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Asana. It was too difficult.

What was our ROI?

We've had an ROI of $560 USD.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Great for storing files, conversations, and seeing the history of a project
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No previous solution was there, other than Excel.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We did the setup using an in-house team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also looked at Trello.

User-friendly with helpful visualizations and great support
Pros and Cons
  • "Support from Monday.com makes you feel super comfortable communicating any inquiries you may have."
  • "Better integration with Outlook would be awesome."

What is our primary use case?

Our company started using Monday to track tasks and workflows. Later on, we started using it to keep records of employees and documents. For example, our HR department creates items with check columns and it tracks the required documents of all employees. 

Furthermore, HR personnel uploads all the documents corresponding to the new employee, and then it goes for authorization from the HR manager. Subsequently, when the yearly evaluation comes the department has all the required files in one place and digitalized.

How has it helped my organization?

We were in deep need to find an online solution where everyone in the company could work together and keep track of workflows. Since using Monday.com our productivity has been elevated by at least 35%. Having a platform where you create and automate a lot of small things like creating a sum or other formulas where you normally would have assigned someone to do it manually in a simple Excel locally or in SharePoint decreased our time to respond to our internal requests from any other department. It's very simple since we started using it and we don't see ourselves trusting any other platform.

What is most valuable?

Having multiple boards and different user-friendly items and visualizations were what we needed to have all employees familiarized with the platform. For example, our business in Facility Management has a lot of personnel where technology isn't their area of expertise. Therefore, having a platform with such expertise in creating features and keeping them with such simplicity is a unique asset that we couldn't find somewhere else. 

Support from Monday.com makes you feel super comfortable communicating any inquiries you may have. 

What needs improvement?

Better integration with Outlook would be awesome. For example, an add-on where the user could write an update on Monday via e-mail will literally elevate the whole experience for our business. It would minimize the time to search for the corresponding item on different boards and update them.

Another great option might be to give admin privileges and elevated access to multiple boards. For example, if someone leaves the company and somehow you need his uploaded work documents you cant exactly get them. It creates an issue that involves contacting the support.

For how long have I used the solution?

As a company, we've used Monday.com since 30 October 2018.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We literally trusted Monday.com since day one.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'd advise potential new users to not bother with such small details in terms of cost and licensing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did various evaluations.

Great analytics view, helpful integrations, and has excellent organization capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
  • "Managing project status and product development may be quite difficult unless you have a project manager."

What is our primary use case?

The product is used for tracking customer success activities and daily interactions with customers. We're using dashboard views to analyse data gathered on the boards and track due dates for customer engagements. It's helpful for product release planning and sharing updates with team members as well as onboarding project management. 

The primary use case, however, is tracking customer engagements and reporting to higher management. We also use Monday.com for managing training activities for new joiners. We have close to ten workspaces with five boards on average.  

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com helps my organization track the pulse of our customers and gives a 360-degree view of our users to everyone in the organization. It has helped us in tracking customer engagements and reporting to higher management. 

We also use Monday.com to efficiently onboard new users and give them access to all the training material needed for communicating with the customers. We have close to ten workspaces with five boards on average.

What is most valuable?

The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations. The integration capabilities to bring in data from external sources like Gmail, Zoho, and HubSpot. Even connecting to Google Sheets is very helpful. 

Prior to Monday.com, all requests were sent by email, making it difficult to keep track of the workload. With Monday.com, all team members can view what's in the project file and know where each project job is in the process. 

I really enjoy the customizing features that Monday.com provides; we have a number of clients that want a tailored experience to make things simpler for both us and them. Monday.com has so many excellent features, however, if I had to select one, it would be the organization.

Monday.com also facilitates internal and external collaboration. The time management and cross-team functionality are fantastic.

What needs improvement?

Managing project status and product development may be quite difficult unless you have a project manager. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years.

What was our ROI?

The ROI that my team and I obtained from Monday.com covers the cost and then some; we've been able to raise internal efficiency and improve the overall capabilities of corporate operations. This has enabled us to work in a more organized and effective manner, allowing us to finish more tasks and increase our productivity bonus.

Excellent integrations with great color coding and various board views
Pros and Cons
  • "Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done."
  • "Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information."

What is our primary use case?

I use Monday in my work. I work for a Marketing and Advertising Agency. 

We are a 20-member team. Monday is really useful. The best thing (recently added) is that you can see everything that is asigned to you and keep track on what's on your plate. 

As a small team with a variety of roles (like designers, code developers, writers, social media managers, and consultants) it is really useful to keep everybody up to date.

There is a way you can share a board with clients so they can see in real time how is the project running.

The app is great too. You can work even if you do not have your computer near.

How has it helped my organization?

When I joined the company, they already used Monday, however, compared with other tools that I've used in other companies, this is superior. 

Monday allows for remote work perfectly. You can see the contributions made by others. You can get notified every time something has been updated.

Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done. Other tools are just like live chats, however, Monday keeps track of everything. 

You can have different roles for every person in your team. 

The productivity tool is one of my favorite aspects. You can even track the time it takes you to complete a task.

What is most valuable?

The productivity tool is great, as is task dependency.

You can create specific groups on your boards and give them color codes. This is really useful.

It is great that you can select if you want to see the project in list, kanban, or Gantt. This is something really useful that other tools do not allow you to do. Usually, you have to use more than one solution. 

You can integrate Slack, Google, Excel, Drive, or Dropbox.

As a company that uses a variety of tools, it was great to have everything in one place, Monday was the solution.

What needs improvement?

Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information. That is something you can already do. Instead, we'd like to add a client as a client so they can give real-time feedback, answer questions, and see the whole project and its stages. It takes time to copy and paste things that the client could be adding on Monday, and the team can see it with no problem, with controlled access.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is completely stable and trustworthy.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

They are adding some great things, however, a client version would be a really big step.

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, I did use a different solution. I changed as my new work uses Monday.

How was the initial setup?

It was all set up when I began with the company.

What about the implementation team?

I don't know how the company set up the solution initially.

What was our ROI?

I don't know what our ROI is.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not know about the pricing; my company pays it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

Monday is wonderful.

Very customizable with great automation and lots of templates
Pros and Cons
  • "It is extremely customizable to each and every one of my clients' needs."
  • "One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."

What is our primary use case?

I work in an advertising agency setting with more than ten people and we use Monday.com for our internal project management for our different departments including graphic design, social media content, social media ads, google ads, billing, project planning, and website creation and development. We also have a board for each and every one of our clients. 

I utilize Monday.com constantly via my laptop and my cell phone. The syncing between my phone and computer is flawless and I never have any issues with it.  

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com has improved the organizational efficiency of our advertising agency. Before Monday.com we were using multiple apps whereas with Monday we are able to only check one place. It accomplishes everything that we need from it and I love how they are always developing new add-ons or integrations. A lot of my clients really like when I specifically set up a Monday board for them. Monday is incorporated into all of the branches of our industry and has improved the efficiency of each one.

What is most valuable?

The automation settings on each board are amazing to me. I love how many options there are. It is extremely customizable to each and every one of my clients' needs.  

With over 200 different templates for creating boards and automation, I always have what I need. 

Monday is perfect for small and medium-sized businesses. It is a one-stop shop for everything you need. 

I also love the trendy aesthetics that it offers, it really steps up the game when our clients receive their own custom Monday board.  

What needs improvement?

One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature. Our office mainly uses iMessage right now to instantly communicate with one another. 

The only other software that we use that we wish we could get rid of is Evernote. I would love to be able to share notes with my colleagues in the same way that you can on Evernote. You can also search within your notes by typing certain words or phrases within a search bar.  

Those additions would be the final elimination of any other software that I use.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for five years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options.
