Customizable with good integrations and helpful status views
Pros and Cons
  • "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 iPad version of Monday.com doesn't have the same functionality."

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for four years.

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 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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Helps with organization, offers great automation, and has helpful status update capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year.

Flexible views, great automation, and helps with communication
Pros and Cons
  • "The automation is great."
  • "Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for project management across the different functions of our marketing team. It's also used as a content and social planner.

How has it helped my organization?

The product helps keep responsibility and accountability clearly communicated, and helps stay on deadlines. 

It's a great place to float new ideas. We find it great for archiving. If something comes up, we can reference archived tasks. 

The automation is great. 

It helps keep responsibility and accountability clearly communicated, and helps stay on deadlines. 

What is most valuable?

The different views are huge for us and each member of our team has found a view that helps them quickly see and action the tasks ahead. Not everyone has the same preference for visuals to keep organized. 

The integration with socials would be really powerful, however, we haven’t had a chance to get into that yet. 

What needs improvement?

This may be out of scope for Monday, however, it would be cool to have an asset management side of things. It may already be in existence and I just don’t realize it. 

Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for about two years.

Visually intuitive with great live updates and excellent for resource scheduling
Pros and Cons
  • "We love the live updates in real-time for all parties."
  • "One item we feel we is missing is more board templates that would allow us to work within the agile methodology."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.  

What is most valuable?

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.  

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

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

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

We didn't previously use a different solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

Pros and Cons

What is our primary use case?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for over a year. 

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

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