monday.com Reviews

We primarily use the solution for work, looking at the list of available articles to write, making progress, and the status of deliverables/articles.

It has helped to archive the amount of work completed and have our editorial team work more efficiently.

Marking the status of deliverables is the most useful aspect.

The site could load a bit faster. I notice when I'm in locations with internet that isn't as speedy (like when I'm tethering with my phone) it can lag a bit.

I've used the solution for more than three years.

The stability is very good.

The scalability is very good.

I've never had to contact technical support.

We did not use other solutions previously.

The setup is straightforward.

I just had to log in.

I'm unsure of the ROI I've seen.

I did not evaluate other options. 

We handle event projects. We are using Monday.com for driving our projects.

Monday.com is the best platform for working with project organizations.

The solution is so good.

We have difficulties playing with automation.

It's a very good platform, We are using Monday.com for 25 workers. This is our third year on the solution. 

I use this tool for product management and project management planning. It shows me resource balance and that makes me able to plan development resources. 

I am a manager in a thirty-member technology department. I work with development teams, product teams, and the project management team. Monday.com provides a plan and roadmap view for our works.

In addition to that, it is really simple to categorize the project. That makes me have power to focus and manage the different projects.

As a result, it provides well-organized plans.

We had a need to manage product roadmaps, project roadmaps, and organize program management of the technology department. Thus, I compared some tools using their trial versions. Monday.com was the tool that provides the below solution for us.

It is well organized and user-friendly main table that let me see and be aware of each type of task. I can see Gantt charts and I can manage tasks on Kanban regarding the statuses. That makes me have different views of tasks regarding priority.

The UI is so smart. The Gantt view is the most valuable feature for me. The Gantt view provides smart and quick filters to see focused tasks. It has a well-designed user interface, that let the user get to pursue the tasks.

In addition to that, the Gantt view has a powerful setting utility. It provides an easy and simple view settings. I could managed any view on Gantt.

Also, it has a smart Excel export button that exports Gantt views to files. 

In my main table, I changed sometimes the timeline values mistakenly. That should be prevented via a smart warning or some sort of coloring.

In item card, when you need a field, you have to firstly add it on the main table. However, if you need many fields, it is not a proper way to keep the fields on the main table.

When I need like a collection field, I cannot do it. For instance, for keeping related links, I cannot create a field to save an undetermined number item. I need this. I have to create many new fields.

I've used the solution for around one year.

We are a marketing agency and primarily use Monday.com for resource scheduling. We also use it for Project Management on bigger projects, timelines, finance progress, database, social media planning, and scheduling.

We've been able to centralize a lot of moving parts on a digital platform that was reached by everyone in real-time (even third-party resources that weren't in the office). Having the platform since 2018 gave us a couple of years before the pandemic to really get it working and definitely was helpful having when everyone was working remotely.  

We love the live updates in real-time for all parties. It is visually intuitive which helps when working with clients that have less marketing and project management knowledge.  

One item we feel we is missing is more board templates that would allow us to work within the agile methodology. 

We've used the solution since February 2018 (over four years ago).

We didn't previously use a different solution.

We did evaluate other options. I can't remember all of them, however, Asana was definitely one of them. 

We use the product for managing all the projects and tasks of a non-profit association. 

We have several groups and task forces, and all our board members and volunteers live around the globe. We also have guest members who work on occasional projects and need access for a short period of time. We also have service providers, with whom we share several projects which needed to be on time. 

We have projects ranging from short to longer-term, including our strategic planning, which is also done on Monday.com.

After we started using Monday.com, the benefits were clear. We could centralize all our demands and responsibilities in one place. We have several service providers, board members, volunteers, and guest participants, and having the possibility to check the progress of their activities easily, in one place, and with a few clicks is a great service and has been much appreciated by everybody in the different teams. We now have a better idea of how we are doing with daily tasks and with the planning of long-term projects.

The possibility of having multiple boards is indeed a great feature that allows us to see the many projects (and their progress) at a glance. 

The workspaces are also an extremely valuable tool since we can have many separate workspaces for teams with different credentials. That is important to have more confidential projects set aside, and have people only assigned to their assigned projects or assigned tasks at a particular moment. 

Of course, the add-ons are important to integrate the other tools we use.

One important feature that would improve Monday.com would be an application for desktops (Windows/Mac). I work with many internet tabs open and would prefer having Monday.com as a separate program - not opened via the website. That could improve the daily managing and practical use of Monday.com. 

I do not use the Monday.com mobile app, since I concentrate on work-related things on the computer. I also work with several Google Workspaces, so that puts more difficulties for easy visualization.

I've used the solution for one year.

Until now it has been shown to be very stable.

We have not scaled up yet.

We did not have any need to reach out to technical support so far.

I did not use a different solution previously. 

The initial setup requires some time to learn to navigate it.

We implemented the solution via an in-house team

I am not the administrator and have no sense of the ROI.

We use Monday.com throughout our entire company - from sales to content to marketing campaigns. We are a company that has a lot of balls in the air with a lot of tracking required and Monday has been a big help. 

Initially, we used it to track various stages of content production and post workflow and now it has transitioned into intra-department use. We utilize forms for asset requests with our design team. We also use external trackers for our sponsorships team to communicate with our partners on collaborative projects. 

It has kept all our departments accountable and gives a quick birds-eye to see how projects are progressing. 

Prior to using Monday there was little to no project tracking. Things were assigned and it was up to managers to keep track on their own end using whatever means they had. Monday not only allows easier tracking but it can also set up team members the ability to know what projects are coming up next for them and not have to wait for something to be assigned to them if there are projects in queue for them.

Getting us to an easier UX/UI experience and away from spreadsheets has been great. Forms for asset requests have been a boon to our design team. It forces people to have to think about what they're actually asking for and spell out the delivery methods, attach references, dimensions, use cases, brand guidelines, etc. Having the ability to work with external teams on Monday also helps us stay in communication with our partners. It also helps communicate with freelancers as well as contractors. This gives us the same level of communication and progress tracking as we would with any and all of our staff.

We need more cross-API integration with creative apps in the Adobe Suite and other communication platforms. We utilize Discord a lot with some of our talent and teams. Therefore, having the ability to a quick reference that way would be great. Having the ability to add notes on project files in Adobe similar to Frame.io and other creative project review outlets would be a big gain. Maybe even having the ability to sync with Frame.io would be good as well. 

Load times can sometimes be a bit inconsistent on web and mobile. The mobile interface seems a bit too cramped and very difficult to work with on the go.

We have been using Monday.com for four years.

We did not use a different solution.

It's worth it for any sized team and only scales in terms of pricing as your teams increase.

We did not evaluate other options.

We use the solution for managing lots of projects from multiple customers. 

Monday is extremely useful in so many ways by helping keep projects on track and organized. My favorite part is you can see who is leading in production and sales numbers. 

I like being able to customize your views and add what works best for you and you can always continue to learn and improve. 

I'm unable to send messages or update any projects from my tablet or cell phone which makes it hard when you are in the field all day and can't be at your desk. It causes you to play catch-up and you cant keep your projects moving.

I've used the solution for over a year. 

I'd advise new users to take advantage of all the tools offered and learn more and faster ways to complete projects.

I use the solution for project planning for software and UX design projects. 

The product has helped our organization greatly. It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth.

We really enjoy table planning, documentation, instant Gantt charting, and collaboration. Emailing the board in updates is great. It offers helpful kanban views and multiple views in general. We can share it with clients as guests. 

Story mapping would be ideal. Being able to create topic threads, not as updates and instead similar to Basecamp (in that it becomes a forum) would be useful. 

Timetracking should be a little more powerful. A full harvest integration or something similar that allows time spent vs budget would be good. 

The solution should offer burndown charts.

I've been using the solution for two years.

The stability is quite good.

The scalability is good.

Technical support is excellent and very proactive. 

Positive

We used to use Jira and switched as it's horrendously overcomplicated, scaled terribly, and takes the hardest path to a simple outcome. 

The setup is easy. It's great to let the user demo it for free. 

We did the setup in-house. It was not a great experience. I did it mostly myself. 

ROI is unmeasurable in context of the product, however, I feel very satisfied we get value from the Monday investment. 

We looked at Jira and Basecamp.

We are a small startup media company with a lot going on. As we grew, disorganization became a serious problem. I turned to Monday, which has allowed us to work and flow as a growing team. It has also provided a concrete organizational basis for how we run our day-to-day.

It’s all about organization and communication. Monday has a million different features, so we can organize how we want, not how we’re told to. This has led to more creative problem solving when it comes to growth and has greatly improved client rapport and retention. 

The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress. I also really enjoy the ability to tag coworkers in projects instead of emailing them or using Slack. Also, the shareable boards have been a game-changer with clients. The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress.

While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us. It’s hard to not know what the client sees and that makes us look a little unorganized. They can also be a little buggy sometimes.

The solution is somewhat expensive.

We manage our mortgage company through Monday. We are all remote, so visibility for all our loans that are in process is absolutely critical to keeping us on task. This sends out trigger emails when things are updated and keeps track of our payroll (for example, when things have and have not been paid out). We even track leads here and store key data so we have one place to go in order to see key data for our client.

Everything is organized in such a way so that we don't miss critical dates, know who is up next in closing, and see what has and has not been paid out.

The automation makes this board amazing. I love that status updates move items from board to board.

I'd like to see some kind of way to display our data to realtor partners without giving them access to our entire board. I need something that encapsulates just key points and nothing else. We find that realtors want communication and visibility - that is hard when all you have to use is email.
