Great automation and date tracking with easy assignment capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to track dates and times we need cases to be completed has been of great use to my firm."
  • "Having more integrations for different specialties that use Monday would be great."

What is our primary use case?

My office is a boutique immigration firm. We use Monday to keep track of our active cases from beginning to end. 

It helps us organize our different departments and keep track of who had what case and how they are working on it. We use Monday to provide guidance on different cases from beginning to end. We also use Monday for administrative tasks and projects. We are able to organize our different departments and sort out important cases on Monday. The automation helps everything run smoothly. 

How has it helped my organization?

Monday has greatly improved the accountability everyone in my firm has regarding cases. Case managers are able to quickly assign cases and we can keep track of the entire process on Monday. 

We are able to see all the active cases we have on a day-to-day basis and quickly assign them if they are unassigned. We have been able to organize each department thoroughly and separate them as necessary. We also have used Monday to aid in administrative tasks throughout both offices. It aids in our office-to-office communication as well. 

What is most valuable?

We thoroughly enjoyed the automation to help us see where our cases are going next. The entire visual aspect of Monday is also a great resource for our firm as it makes it easy for us to point out certain things and for our management meetings to go smoothly. 

The ability to track dates and times we need cases to be completed has been of great use to my firm. Our attorneys are able to monitor and track our cases with ease every day as they please. It has greatly improved how we track out cases and hit our deadlines. 

What needs improvement?

Having more integrations for different specialties that use Monday would be great. Monday is awesome as it is, however, expanding would also be helpful. 

Monday should have people reach out to different heads of businesses in different sectors to see how they use Monday and create more templates and maybe even videos on how they use it so there are more ways for people who are just starting out to find more examples to see how to tailor Monday to their needs. 

I met up with a specific immigration attorney who helps immigration firms organize and pull their business to more paperless solutions she introduced us to Monday and showed us how she uses it and we tailored it for our needs.

For how long have I used the solution?

My office has been using Monday.com for over two years.

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

We only used paper to "assign"/give assignments and Excel to track our cases. It was hard to keep track of who had each case and how they were doing with the assignments. The papers would also get lost in files or paper stacks, so a lot of assignments were falling through the cracks. It was hard to maintain and the switch to Monday was excellent for our case tracking. On Monday, we are able to notify those who are newly assigned to a case and track their work as well. All of our case tracking and assignments are easily visible to everyone in the firm so that nothing falls through the cracks if it is put on Monday. 

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

Having someone from Monday work with you on your needs for Monday is a great way to get started. It helps you see the price you should go for. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We met with an immigration attorney who works with organizing businesses. She said Monday was the best one so we stuck wiith it.

Easy to manage with various display options and great templates
Pros and Cons
  • "The templates were always the best part as not starting from scratch made the process so much easier."
  • "All in all, we primarily used this software for Project management because it allowed me to monitor the progress of my team, allowed us to manage hybrid programs and operations (and transition seamlessly), and communicate 24/7."
  • "While I appreciate the templates, some of them are extremely complex and not as tailored to non-profit work so they required quite a bit of customizing (but worth the trouble)."
  • "The email log-in sensitivity would be a challenge and would lead to guests being added as members and the account getting overcharged frequently."

What is our primary use case?

I run a coaching and training department that requires me to manage a large team of full-time, part-time and seasonal team members. Our projects vary from month to month and require quite a bit of cross-functional communication and high levels of collaboration. Some projects also require the assistance of strategic partners who were added as guests. All in all, we primarily used this software for Project management because it allowed me to monitor the progress of my team, allowed us to manage hybrid programs and operations (and transition seamlessly), and communicate 24/7. 

How has it helped my organization?

When you first get in, the set-up and overall functionality were easy to use. Not to mention I appreciated all of the many integrations. It made it so easy to build systems and processes for my team. 

We’ve also had quite a bit of turnover in staff, so it was super great when it came to transitioning new employees in and old employees out. My multi-generational team loved it. It was also pivotal in teaching my collegiate interns how to manage their time and break down their projects into smaller tasks.  

What is most valuable?

The templates were always the best part as not starting from scratch made the process so much easier.

The various display options and formats were great -especially when you have a large team with varying needs. They appreciated the tutorials and how-tos available with each board as well. 

As someone who has to manage their team’s as well as my own projects and tasks - it made it easier to see everyone and everything from a bird’s eye view. I also really appreciated the daily reminders, progress updates, and little (but impactful) notes of encouragement. 

What needs improvement?

I wish I understood and had taken advantage of the automation more. it was kind of hard to figure out.

While I appreciate the templates, some of them are extremely complex and not as tailored to non-profit work so they required quite a bit of customizing (but worth the trouble).  

The email log-in sensitivity would be a challenge and would lead to guests being added as members and the account getting overcharged frequently. 

I also wish the software was more affordable as I would love to use it for my small business as well. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you had a variety of pricing options I can see this going far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is definitely possible to scale. 

How are customer service and support?

We have never had to use technical support, however, the tutorials were great.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We used Microsoft Teams and were unable to customize it the same way. 

How was the initial setup?

It is very easy to use if you follow the promptings and watch the videos.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it with our in-house team.

What was our ROI?

The ROI is very high.

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

The budget is quite pricey. If you can afford it, it’s worth it. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Trello and Airtable.

Efficient, great for task tracking, and helps with organization
Pros and Cons
  • "The way everyone can work together is fantastic."
  • "Monday.com has greatly improved the efficiency of all the resources working together collaboratively."
  • "If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use of this product is to keep a track of all the tasks assigned, update the progress of the tasks assigned, and get reminders in case of meeting all deadlines. 

It's great for keeping track of various works and timelines. At times, we tend to forget things. It's handy in that it can be updated from anywhere, unlike a physical diary which cannot be carried everywhere.

It is a better way to keep a track of all the work that has been done by you throughout the year so that while evaluating your performance at the time of your appraisal you can claim the same if your manager feels otherwise.

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com has greatly improved the efficiency of all the resources working together collaboratively. The way everyone can work together is fantastic. 

How you can assign tasks to your fellow members and keep a track of them is helpful. Also, how easily anyone can assign you a task is great. Once assigned, you quickly get an email. 

We literally update all our tasks every Monday and our Manager can have an overview of the progress simultaneously. It has basically improved the efficiency of the organization with the optimum utilization of its resources.

What is most valuable?

The app is loaded with features. The most valuable feature is getting a reminder email of the deadlines assigned to you on the emails and how the color of the task is coded, like green for the task done, red for pending, and yellow for stuck. Likewise, one can get a pictorial depiction of all the tasks to be carried out and what is the current status of the same. When you will filter out the task assigned owner to your name, you will get a list of all the tasks assigned to you by different departments, so it's easy to keep a track of it.

What needs improvement?

If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app. They need some improvements to allow for the making of real-time changes in the task updates while working on the small screen of a cell phone.

Anyone can make changes to your task, like adding or deleting any sub-items assigned to you. An additional feature that should be included should be a track of all the changes/deletions made by any third person to your task. If anyone wants to do mischief, we could track them down.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for almost six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is pretty good; there are no bugs

How are customer service and support?

We did not really need any technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We did not use any different solutions.

How was the initial setup?

The solution already existed when I joined the company. I did not help with the setup.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the solution's setup in-house.

What was our ROI?

Returns are intangible, so the exact values for ROI are not assigned.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Slack.

What other advice do I have?

If there could be a feature to chat with all the members online, that would be ideal.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Custom tabs, good linking capabilities, and works on various devices
Pros and Cons
  • "It works perfectly and runs very smoothly."
  • "My point is, Monday works perfectly and the exact same way on the phone, computer or iPad."
  • "The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."

What is our primary use case?

I work at a custom cabinet shop, and this isn't the first company I have worked for in this industry.

It is very convenient as all jobs/projects that I have upcoming or in progress, are really easy to keep track of. Once there is progress in the project, it gets organized into different categories so that other departments can see and use the information to their own benefit and progress. 

Once the completion happens from my side, it goes into the next category, which at that point is finished from my side.

How has it helped my organization?

It is really convenient thanks to the custom tabs our company has created. If there is some information missing in one department (for example, a color code that is very crucial to the paint department), I know that I need to fill that information in before the job gets sent out into production. 

Also, sometimes when it seems like you have all the information, you miss certain tabs, and they need to be filled in. Even though sometimes there isn't any information that is needed, we have a "does not apply" tab.

What is most valuable?

I found it really useful that when uploading certain files or PDFs, you can have it linked through Dropbox or Google Drive. That way, I can hop onto my phone or iPad, and can easily see the content that is linked within all the devices. 

Also, to add to that, it's really awesome that they are on all platforms. 

It works perfectly and runs very smoothly. A lot of times programs are on multiple platforms, however, they don't seem to work well, or even don't have updates to fix little bugs. This program constantly gets updated, and works flawlessly on all platforms, or should I say very well compatible. Sorry if I'm repeating myself in a different way, but for example Instagram works perfectly on phones. But when you get on the iPad or PC/Mac then it works a little differently and does not allow you to have/get certain features than you would on the phone. My point is, Monday works perfectly and the exact same way on the phone, computer or iPad.

What needs improvement?

I have used it for a year, and I don't see much that needs to be improved. It seems like the updates happen pretty often, and so far, I am very happy with the product. 

The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them. However, I am aware that anytime you do that, it adds the categories for all the consumers under the same company.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the program for a little over a year - since March of 2021.

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

No, I have not. It was on paper at my other company.

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

I don't know the details about pricing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other products in this situation; this is the program that was chosen by the company.

Very straightforward with a clean interface and helpful automation
Pros and Cons
  • "I love the ability to communicate within the app itself by leaving comments."
  • "We started using Monday when it was Dapulse and never switched, which reflects our contentment."
  • "For others who have more varied assignments, some of which require collaboration with other team members, they might find Monday insufficient."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for receiving task assignments. As one of my team's content writers, we deal with plenty of assignments each month, and monitoring our own tasks is made easier with Monday.com. Monday simplifies the flow of tasks, starting from the content assignment, completion, and submission reviews, to publications. 

Through Monday, it's easier to monitor where we are in each assignment. We could monitor the overall progress in one quick glance and see where the delay is happening. We could easily identify what stage someone is stuck in and address issues promptly.

How has it helped my organization?

Assigning tasks is automated, making the jobs of our project managers easier. 

The interface of the platform is clean and simple. As a content writer, I can see all the important details, particularly the deadlines, at a glance. This is a very important feature for someone who struggles with organization. 

Everything about Monday.com is straightforward. I have used other task management apps over the years and so far this is my favorite. 

We've been using it since its Dapulse days, and we never switched, which reflects our contentment.

What is most valuable?

My absolute favorite is the ability to filter assignments. Since there are other writers in the team, filtering by person lets me see easily which ones are mine, and I could also sort them out based on urgency. 

It's quite easy to accidentally click on someone else's assignment and work on it, but with this feature, that accident can be avoided. In other apps, the focus is personal boards with lots of subtasks within, which I find unappealing. 

I also love the ability to communicate within the app itself by leaving comments. 

What needs improvement?

Honestly, it's perfect so far. It has the simplistic, spreadsheet vibe which I love. I can't think of anything major that I want to be changed or at least I find Monday more than enough for our team's needs. 

For others who have more varied assignments, some of which require collaboration with other team members, they might find Monday insufficient. 

They're also a bit lacking in the reporting department, which isn't a big deal for us, however, it might be for other users who have more rigorous protocols when it comes to tracking. 

I also wish that subscription costs are a bit cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I see they're coming up with new improvements all the time which is a good sign stability-wise.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

They should try to drive the cost down to onboard more users.

How are customer service and support?

We haven't tried to reach out to technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

No. We started using Monday since it was Dapulse and never tried anything else.

How was the initial setup?

It's pretty straightforward and doesn't require a real tech genius to set it up.

What about the implementation team?

We used the solution in-house.

What was our ROI?

ROI has increased since using Monday.

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

I recommend Monday to small and medium companies.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Not here in my current team. In my previous organizations, I have tried Asana and Trello.

Excellent automation, saves time, and has great color coding
Pros and Cons
  • "The automation is huge."
  • "Overall, Monday.com has been essential to our growth over the last couple of years."
  • "Sometimes automation is delayed, which can lead to duplicate items being created."

What is our primary use case?

We use Monday.com to track all of our open projects.  

We have multiple workflows that are separated onto their own boards, with one central board showing all of the projects and statuses using mirror columns. We have a board for items that are ordered readymade, a board for custom projects that require materials and assembly, and also a board for service requests.  

We have recently implemented forms on our website to automatically create an item when a customer fills them out. When projects are ready, they are automatically sent to our scheduling board to complete the project.

How has it helped my organization?

I can't believe we ever got by without having Monday.com to manage our projects. Not only can we see jobs and statuses at a glance, but we are able to automate messages regarding backorders or other problems so nothing slips through the cracks. We had record sales numbers in 2021 and were able to handle the increased volume with a lower headcount that in previous years. We also spend less time looking for job folders and calling one another to check on project statuses since all of the information is available on Monday.com.

What is most valuable?

The automation is huge. We have about 25 employees across three different locations, so communication regarding projects has always been an issue. Now, notifications are sent to the salespeople about their projects with the click of a button. We also use automation to create new items on the scheduling page after they are marked as ready. This is a small thing, however, the couple of minutes it saves on every project amounts to a huge time saver.

The map locations are also a huge help when we are scheduling. Items are color-coded by group, so we can look for unscheduled items nearby and create efficient routes.  

What needs improvement?

Sometimes automation is delayed, which can lead to duplicate items being created. 

There are occasional outages, however, they are usually resolved quickly. 

We also use the program to track our scheduling. Any kind of integration with scheduling software would be a great help. 

As I mentioned, we have been implementing the forms, however, it would be great if we had the option to view the items created by the forms in that same form format.  

I haven't tried the calendar integrations recently, however, it would also be great if a scheduled item could link to an Outlook calendar and also export all of the item information into that calendar item.

For how long have I used the solution?

We started using the product in October 2018.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Overall, the stability is great.  There are occasional outages such as connectivity issues or delayed automations which can be an issue given how much we rely on it.  These issues are usually resolved quickly and the Monday.com twitter account provides prompt updates on the problems they are experiencing and estimated resolution times. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, however, the data entry aspect is getting to be cumbersome as we grow.  

Any integrations/automation to create new items can solve this in the future.

How are customer service and support?

We have had a few instances where we were having issues or just had some questions on functionality. Customer service is always responsive and helpful.  We also follow the Twitter account so we know quickly when there are outages or other issues occurring.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

We did not have any kind of project management system in place prior to Monday.com. We recognized the need as we were spending so much time chasing papers and folders around the office.

How was the initial setup?

Most of the complexity came from figuring out how it would best serve our needs. Once I gained an understanding of the different columns and automations, the picture became clear and made for an easy setup.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the system in-house. It is still something we continue to tailor and improve almost weekly. I recommend having at least one person in an organization understand the program and gather feedback to make it as efficient as possible.

What was our ROI?

We have cut at least one salary by implementing the system while increasing our sales. Based on our yearly rates, it is at least a 20X return.

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

The pricing is certainly fair. We started with just five active users while we were in a beta phase and figuring out how it would work for us. We have since upgraded to ten active users. We don't even come close to hitting our automation threshold.  

I love that we are able to have viewer-only members, so our whole organization can be subscribed and get updates without having everyone count against our total.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We considered using Netsuite and some other manufacturing software. The cost of such a system made it a nonstarter.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, Monday.com has been essential to our growth over the last couple of years. The setup can take some time, however, the ability to completely customize the system to the needs of your organization makes it well worth it.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great workspaces and boards with useful file upload capability
Pros and Cons
  • "Monday has been really beneficial in allowing us to place all of our records in one place."
  • "Constant updates mean the service is down sometimes, which isn't ideal."

What is our primary use case?

We use Monday as a CRM. We use the boards to organize client details, details of all our projects, and sensitive information such as telephone numbers and addresses. 

We also use the boards to update and provide site reports to other members of the team. In addition to this, Monday has been useful for the team to note down their daily tasks so that everyone is aware of what the team is doing, updating people's calendars, and keeping up to date with completed projects that we have done, so if clients have any questions after the install we can keep this up to date. 

How has it helped my organization?

Monday has been really beneficial in allowing us to place all of our records in one place. We were previously using Google Drive files, which took up quite a bit of time to continually update and edit. 

Monday has saved us time and allowed us to easily take on more projects as the admin side is so much easier. The easy-to-edit interface means we can quickly add or change things in our meetings, assign team members to certain tasks, and quickly look up a particular client's details whenever we need to access them. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features for us would be workspaces, boards, and file upload capability. 

The workspaces are clearly laid out and allow us to fill in details of clients and tasks organized into categories. For us, this includes projects we're currently working on, projects we have worked on, and projects we're planning to work on in the future. 

The boards on Monday have meant we've been able to easily assign tasks for ourselves and others, and file upload means we can see all relevant documents in one place. 

What needs improvement?

Constant updates mean the service is down sometimes, which isn't ideal. 

There are many features we haven't explored yet so sometimes we find the database slightly clunky. However, this could be because we haven't explored the range of apps available. 

Since our team didn't use Monday until more recently, it can mean they're not used to knowing all of its advantages and apps. This means we can double up on information being inputted into Monday. Again, I would put this down to user error over the effectiveness of Monday. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using Monday for approximately 18 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good most of the time

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of capability for scale, I would say it is very good, however, the price point would be off-putting for a smaller business. For example, the cost of our membership is £140 per month because we have 6 seats. It may be a good option to have different prices for 6, 7 or 8 team members, rather than jump from 5-10 which for small businesses is quite a significant number. 

How are customer service and support?

Customer service is fairly good, although, due to the time difference in the UK, it can be difficult to get instant support. You also never speak to the same person twice. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

Our previous CRM was simply Google Drive files. We switched due to the fact that we wanted a simpler system in one place. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward

What about the implementation team?

We handled the setup in-house.

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

I would advise considering the cost and whether it is worthwhile for how much you're going to use it. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated the choice of using a CRM, however, Monday was the first that we tried. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great board system with good automation and helpful organization features
Pros and Cons
  • "The automation process is one of the best."
  • "After the Monday.com implementation, we had an increase in productivity, all the employees reduced their time micromanaging all the tasks they were doing and had a platform already set up with automation to make the job easier and also the workflow between team members."
  • "Now, we are using a cloud option and then we send the link on Monday to the other team members. It was too slow and with some bugs sometimes."

What is our primary use case?

Before all of our tasks were sent by email and each employee took care of their own tasks and deadlines. This process was confusing as we had a huge amount of emails between the team. 

After the Monday.com implementation, we had an increase in productivity. All the employees reduced their time micromanaging all the tasks they were doing and had a platform already set up with automation to make the job easier and also the workflow between team members. 

Also, the organization of projects and being able to create boards for each project and have the team involved in this project and able to track down the process of everyone is a positive outcome. 

How has it helped my organization?

All of our tasks and projects are on Monday.com.  

This was the best solution we found in the market. We did a long search and did a lot of tests to choose Monday.com as our best option.  

The board system changes how we organize and execute our projects. After using Monday we saw gaps to improve on how we were executing the projects. We have team members in different countries having all in Monday is a perfect intersection point for all team members to collaborate with the project they are involved with. 

What is most valuable?

The automation process is one of the best. We can organize the workflow through different employees, and after they finishes with the task and updating the thread this goes automatically to a different team member making the project flowing more smoothly. 

The new pages feature also was a big one that all the team is using now. Having all of this features on computer, phone, or tablet makes to keep track even if you are out of the office because any reason. It made the team more put together and involved in the projects. 

What needs improvement?

I loved the new feature of the page document inside Monday.com. The only one that we don't use as much is uploading the files to be accessed on Monday. 

Now, we are using a cloud option and then we send the link on Monday to the other team members. It was too slow and with some bugs sometimes. We had to download a simple image to see it instead be able to check directly on Monday (the bug was that the image didn't appear when enlarged). Having a different section just with the functionality as a cloud service so you can organize and see the files better would be great. 

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?

Stability is amazing. We had only two or three days where it wasn't working just for a few hours. Two of those days were updates on their end. And other was an issue, they provided a link to follow up what happened and where the problems where located on the platform 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I know they can improve a lot and hopefully will continue creating more tools like any other cloud solution. 

How are customer service and support?

So far we didn't have to use technical support too much, however, it was ok. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

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

We used Trello. We changed it as it was too simple. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was with a vendor partly, which was pretty good, however, we practically did it ourselves.

What was our ROI?

Quality/time executing the project has been a positive ROI for us. 

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

Knowing your needs is the main thing. That way you can select the best option. Don't go cheap if will give more trouble for your team/project.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also looked at Asana, Smartsheet, and Hubspot.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

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

Great UX, helpful collaboration tools, and excellent color tagging capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "I love how we can color coordinate between statuses and how statuses jump into their respective groups automatically once chosen."
  • "It made the collaboration between marketing and creative studio teams much neater and seamless."
  • "It would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for marketing and creative project management. 

As a marketing manager, we brief on tasks within Monday.com including all details of the project, such as vertical, status, delivery date, etc. Our traffic manager assigns tasks based on the studio team's availability and priority. 

Mainly, Monday.com is the main tool for our traffic manager to manage a variety of tasks between marketing managers and creatives. 

Once assigned, we can track who the assigned person is and then track the process. It is a very useful tool for tracking things. 

How has it helped my organization?

It made the collaboration between marketing and creative studio teams much neater and seamless. 

Previously, we've used normal Google Sheets. In the beginning, it was manageable. However, once our projects became bigger (alongside the employee count), it became hard to manage between lots of sheets. Then Monday.com came in and it's pretty much a super clear tool to streamline all project collaboration between marketing managers and studio. 

Also, as we can sync Monday.com with our Slack or an email, it's nice to get notifications on how our project is moving. 

What is most valuable?

I love how we can color coordinate between statuses and how statuses jump into their respective groups automatically once chosen. Although personally, I don't use it often, I like how managers can see the workloads of designers and editors in color coordination, and based on that they can let the marketing managers know who has the capacity or whether the team is full. It helps to be aware of incoming tasks. It also helps us to determine project prioritizing and planning ahead more efficiently. As a creative person, it's nice to see their timeline of jobs done as accomplishments. 

What needs improvement?

As a marketing manager, I'm happy with the current features that we're using now. Within our company, we use different software to proof tasks or amend them so it's no problem. We're using Monday.com more on a basic level of assigning and tracking tasks and probably are missing some of the nice features. However, it would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about three years.

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

Previously I've used Trello for managing freelancers and internal tasks. Then our company adapted monday.com as an official studio management tool, hence I moved to the monday.com. It's definitely easier to use and manage both internal and external stakeholders. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Monday.com was chosen by the upper management and we've gone with it. 

What other advice do I have?

We love the product and its UX.

User-friendly with great automation and sub-items
Pros and Cons
  • "The sub-items have been incredibly helpful."
  • "It is fundamental to every facet of the business, as now something as simple as an order can flow from a sales rep to invoicing in QuickBooks and then automatically trigger project work and ingredient ordering once the client pays."
  • "Monday is one of the more expensive tools available."

What is our primary use case?

I use it pretty much specifically with a vendor to some of my other companies. They do have their own board to manage the business between them and those companies.

Since we use an inventory management tool and we're a hemp and cannabis solutions company, we integrate with a number of different software. It's definitely made it a lot easier and I've incorporated it into our SOPs, so it's fundamental to our business at this point.

How has it helped my organization?

I've incorporated it into our standard operating procedures. It is fundamental to every facet of the business, as now something as simple. I'm a little upset lately, since they changed for security purposes, the email function to the board, as I used to have my sales reps email their orders (when they got them) to a Monday board that goes to my office manager, where he knows to make an invoice and go ahead and move forward with things to invoice the client using QuickBooks.

Just the overall flow, once that client paid that invoice, I have an automation set up that, depending on what revenue bucket it falls in, it will trigger, to tell that project manager for that board that a new project has been paid and she can go ahead and start work and the team can start formulating or we can start ordering ingredients, or whatever the case may be. It's basically incorporated into every portion of our business now.

What is most valuable?

The types of columns that I'm able to put into a particular board and the data that that captures. I like the fact that I could drop in PDFs. I can't do that with Excel. I can just drop in different types of files which I couldn't necessarily do in Excel. I can drop images into Excel, however, I can't drop files that are PDFs. Most of the things that I'm trying to collect on a particular client are signed documents and working documents. 

It is user-friendly. I like the forms. I can have clients fill out a form. As far as making it easier, I would say the email feature, the automation really makes it special. The email feature where if say a status changes to complete, the fact that I can have a scheduled email to a client to say, "Thank you for doing business with us." I can a personal touch on it and have that go out on a timed basis so many days after they completed a project with us, they will get the message. Things like that have made life easier to be able to automate that stuff.

The sub-items have been incredibly helpful.

What needs improvement?

Monday is one of the more expensive tools available.

The columns don't have descriptions. I would love to be able to write an explanation for a column. I'm only able to label and title it. 

Based on each group, I wish each group could have a snippet. The top of the board has a little note section or a summary, however, sometimes I do it by vendor, where each group on a particular board is a type of vendor, where maybe we have co-packing projects or something like that going on. Therefore, it gets complex. 

If a new employee were to come in, it requires a lot of training to get them to understand the board, as there are things they just have to know. For example, a certain vendor is a type of lab to which we have to submit testing to, and we send specific types of products to certain labs. There's no way for me to write a little blurb about each group, rather than putting in a dummy or test item and having a comment section on that, which looks funny. The same thing goes for each of the columns. If you were able to hover over and be able to see it the way that you see a long text, if you hover over the long text boxes, you can see the whole thing. And if you were able to do that same function for one of the groups or column headings, it would be really helpful.

There wasn't much onboarding assistance. There are still things that, since we have a number of companies and I'm super busy going to these webinars, I sign up and I never can quite attend. It would be nice if there was a little bit of hands-on onboarding help. The same way that HubSpot, for instance, has its team reach out to you to say, "Hey, how can we improve?" I've organized it so that I could grab all kinds of KPIs and make my dashboard super intuitive and really gather a bunch of important information that I could use to improve the business, however, nobody really assists with that.

There are learning modules where I could go in, however, I'm very specific about the things I need to accomplish, and sitting on an hour-long video that doesn't pertain to my exact situation, where I have to play around with it more. Surely, I play around with things and I'm better than most at software stuff, as we have a software company, therefore, I'm used to dealing with this kind of thing. However, with the setup time, it would be really cool if they reached out to say, "Hey, if there's anything that I know you know that this software can do, that you're not utilizing since you just don't have the time to watch a bunch of videos and play around with it."

It was difficult to get to adopt it, however, it's fundamental now to how we run the business. We couldn't function without it, at this point, unless I adopted something new and applied the same, just I've invested so much time into creating processes around Monday.

With automation, I've gotten to the point where managing the boards is somebody's half of their job. Managing a Monday board is half of somebody's time. While it's a lot of work to use it, it does a lot of things that eliminate a lot of work that would need to be manual if we were using Excel or something that's free.

The clocking in and clocking out for people who are doing projects could be improved. I know that there's an integration that I could do with something called Time, or there are a number of others that I can connect to, however, it's got the functionality to do it. We're trying to use just Monday to do that clocking in, and clocking out, on various projects, however, it could be better. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for about two-and-a-half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's pretty stable.

Every once in a while, there may be some downtime, however, I just assume that is when they're making a lot of changes. Sometimes it's really slow, which sucks, as I have my employees clock in using it. 

Right after I moved a lot of our people over to hourly, we kept having some connection issues or it was slower than other websites were, due to an update or something like that.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution can continue to scale.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been great.  

When you make requests, sometimes they say no. Like with the email change, I had to change up my process. They said it was for security purposes and they simply said that no, it's just going to be these long jingled things that make no sense, instead of whatever the old one was. They just simply said, we have to change them now to be a bunch of mixed letters and numbers and symbols for security purposes. I'm not sure why, and it is what it is. I'm fairly used to software people saying, "Your request, thank you for submitting it, but it is what it is." However, they're fast to reply.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I was using Teams to try to organize everything. Monday ended up being able to solve pretty much all of my problems. I've now incorporated it into all of my SOPs. 

I wasn't quite able to organize the flow of things and it didn't have the automation set up, and it was just difficult to visualize projects. As I couldn't do everything on the project management tool, I was doing some things on Excel. The fact that Monday is very similar to Excel, it made it a lot easier.

How was the initial setup?

I had to basically get rid of my entire old team and onboard a whole new team. It was actually pretty intense. It was a very difficult thing. The old team was just stuck in their ways. We moved from being a smaller company and we were growing at a really fast rate, and I was the only one who was really organizing things. Now, I have a whole operations team, however, for a couple of years we were in a growth phase and it's just that the old team wasn't able to adopt the Monday change.

What was our ROI?

I have seen an ROI. I incorporated it into my SOPs. My business pretty much runs on Monday. My whole team actually is able to use this, however, I did have to have a lot of turnover to get people to use it. Of course, adopting change is always difficult, however, now my entire team does know how to use it and does use it, as it's a part of their job. That said, that was difficult to onboard originally.

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

It's one of the more expensive tools. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I looked at a few others, however, I feel like Asana is very similar. I've worked with other companies where I'm able to log in to a particular board the same way you can on Monday. It's very, very similar and people like that just as much. I just went with Monday as it felt right to me.

Other software have very similar programming. I was pretty set on it. I went looking for a new tool and it met all my needs in a demo, and with a 30 day demo they were promoting that month. It worked out and now I can't not use it. I'm pretty happy with it, even though it's really expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. There's a few things that would be great, however, I don't know if it's me not giving it the time to be able to do it correctly or if the program just simply can't do it.
