What is our primary use case?
I use Monday.com as a project management tool. It helps me to assign every single project to the different software development cycle stages and accurately track the status of each one of those projects.
As a support assistant support, helps me triage, plan, and schedule for development for every support ticket that turns out to be an issue that will be corrected.
Given the integration with different tools that we use, we don't have to spend any time looking for items and then updating them as it automatically adds information as needed.
How has it helped my organization?
The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage.
The first area where Monday.com helped the team is planning. Sharing a common dashboard where all the information is stored, helps answer any doubts about what everyone has to focus on each day. The different views also helps to detect any overlapping across the team members or the different projects being developed.
Losing ticket information was a huge problem as often fixed issues notifications where not sent. With automation this issue got solved.
What is most valuable?
Basically, the fact that each board inside of Monday.com is fully customizable in the element that it contains, as well as, the interaction across all of the other boards and different applications, helps solve all of the communication problems we used to have.
The different views help me as a manager properly schedule all of our projects and properly assign them to all the team members that need to be involved.
Integrations with most of the commonly used applications are a huge point in favor as well.
What needs improvement?
The iPad version of Monday.com doesn't have the same functionality. It would be great if the app have the same views as the browser or desktop app.
The split view is not available in the iPad app, complicating the workflow designed when on the move.
A way to highlight an entire row based on the content of a cell would help currently you can only change the color of a cell-based on content.
A way to have the same pulse at different boards and to both pulses to update the matching information base on updates.

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 MS Project and Trello. The main reason to switch was that none of the other tools gave the ability to properly reflect the company's workflow. Monday.com adapts to the company instead of the company having to adapt to the tool. This means that whatever way you company is used to work, whatever way the information flows within the company and the teams, you can create a simple board in monday.com and reflect such workflows. As an example, Trello is pure canvan, and at my company we needed to have canvan but other kind of views to have a better planning; this feature is not included there.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is something that you have to consider and that also includes the headaches that a tool provokes. If you weigh it, however, even with the cost of the subscription, usually you end up winning.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Yes, we did evaluate other options, however, I don't remember which ones.
