monday.com Reviews

I work for a company called Enreap and we are a preferred partner and reseller of monday.com, based in India. I lead the practice of Monday.com within my organization for the entire APAC region. I take care of product operations for monday.com in the region, including the entire sales, implementation, and support cycles.

With regard to the use case, I started off using monday.com for product management. Now, I cater to several use cases, including project management, CRM, sales, product development, HR, and admin.

Recently I've been working with a customer from a logistics company wherein I'm building their entire HR system on monday.com. I'm also working with a manufacturing company to build their entire production cycle on monday.com.

My organization now uses monday.com internally for service delivery management, as well as to track ongoing internal initiatives. First and foremost, as a result, collaboration has improved drastically. There is flexibility to have collaboration across the different functions of the organization.

Another way we have benefited is visibility, wherein the key stakeholders at the C level have visibility into the entire timeline of an initiative. They have clear updates on what's happening and the current status of an initiative. The C level is concerned about the reporting so we have set it up so that there is a workstation that every team or function is working from. That data gets rolled up to the C level so they have consolidated reports available at the click of a button.

In addition, we use real-time reporting. Previously, people used to struggle for a couple of hours before project reviews to get the data to prepare presentations and reports. Now, the reports are available at the click of a button. The entire report generation process has scaled down to a matter of a few minutes.

Breaking down silos is one of the biggest use cases of monday.com. It has cross-functional collaboration capabilities, which definitely break down the silos right away, the moment you start collaborating.

We use monday.com for pretty much everything. We use it for project management, internal project management and task management, and we're starting to use it more for internal HR processes such as time off. 

We integrate it with Microsoft SharePoint and Outlook so that we have visibility across the board for ourselves.

We pretty much couldn't survive without it now. It's our go-to system. We've been able to do everything internally, saving us time with meetings, and helping with communication internally and externally. We can assign guests to our account and they see certain things so we can collaborate with our customers efficiently and professionally through the platform. We can do simple tasks like requesting time off, as well as financials, balance sheets, customer satisfaction surveys, communication plans, risk management, and time sheets. We pretty much do everything in it. We would have a hard time using any other system now. We heavily rely on it because it works.

It helps give our customers visibility. We use the automation for automatic responses to emails. We develop forms in monday.com and embed them into our website and they can use them to submit a ticket. It helps our customers have visibility and understanding of what's going on and allows us to scale at an efficient rate without incurring a ridiculous cost.

And its scalability has been another benefit. monday.com has been able to save us time and reduce the overhead costs that would normally be associated with running a project. I've been with companies that are still managing projects out of Excel sheets and they can have a project manager only handle a handful of projects. But with monday.com, you can have a project manager manage eight different projects efficiently and effectively.

Another advantage is that the cost is predictable. You're not going to get any crazy costs as you scale, so it's a good model. We have had a good growth rate in staff and we can pay better salaries and have better benefits because our one system can do pretty much everything that would normally take three other systems to do. It integrates with everything. It has been great.

It also gives managers the information they need for decision-making. It makes it so easy to see a lot of data in one dashboard. You can stand back from data and get an overview or drill in as close as you want on it. If you want to see something as a whole, as an organization, you can do that easily. If you're trying to dial in and see specific data, that is also easy to do. You can make more informed and strategic decisions based on reliable data, knowing that it's all accurate and up-to-date. You can alter it in any way you need to, to make whatever decision you're looking to make.

While every project has its issues, monday.com has created a way for us to get ahead on a lot of things before those issues become actualized. When it comes to projects with our customers, it helps us communicate and say, "This is the risk," and we can constantly update them and say, "We're getting closer." We can set time limits on things and triggers. It has helped us mitigate risk and increased our efficiency on projects so that some of that risk doesn't even get realized. And if it does, we planned for it, we saw it coming. Nothing is taking us by surprise.

Without wanting to sound super dramatic, it has reduced project delays for us by almost 100 percent. You're never going to be able to completely eliminate some risks, but the fact that we're able to see risk coming from a mile away makes all the difference. We do IT work and professional services work for the government, which means we do a lot of planning at the beginning. A lot of the risks that are associated with the projects that we do are supply-chain related. They're very common. The risks in our projects are very repetitive. 

It has really created visibility across the board so that we don't get blindsided by anything. And if we do, monday.com still supports us through it. If we get blindsided by a risk or a discrepancy on our project, we can use monday.com to help manage it and do "lessons learned". We can look back at historical data and see what happened, what triggered it, and adapt and move forward from it, making tweaks here and there to our templates or adding something to our risk registrar management tool.

I am a consultant who helps companies implement monday.com. I do not use the solution at my organization. The use case depends on the client. Every company needs tools for collaboration and organization, and most use Office 365, Google Docs, etc. Around 80 percent of my clients are agencies, but they've reached the limits of what they can do in terms of collaboration with their existing tools. 

Most of the clients who contact me already know that they want to implement monday.com, so it's not like I'm selling them the solution. They want something to facilitate their collaboration and communication. 

monday.com is an excellent tool to follow your project timeline to see where you are and where you want to go. It's super flexible. Thanks to all the automation, you can do practically anything with monday.com. 

It's great for managers. The dashboard gives you an overview of your team's workload, so you can see how long it takes for each person to complete a task. There are many kinds of dashboards, each with widgets that offer insight into what is happening. 

monday.com helps you avoid delays because you can visualize your deadlines and track your progress. It can help you break down silos in an organization to some extent, but it's just a tool. Some companies think a tool will change everything. The tool will help you manage your files, but it depends on the company's politics and how people want to work together. If your directors and managers want to avoid silos, monday.com will help them do that easily. It's an excellent tool for collaborating across various services, but it depends on the company's policy. 

I use monday.com in an agency setting to create marketing workflows that connect different teams. It simplifies communications between departments and gives them the means to track the status of their work.

monday.com increased the efficiency of the teams using it, thereby decreasing costs. We needed fewer people to do the same amount of work once the tasks were organized and presented in a simple way. monday.com has the flexibility to do nearly anything. However, you need to understand its capabilities first. It's quite useful once you've set it up and figured out what you're asking the product to do. 

It enabled us to consolidate conversations across different teams and keep track of individual items instead of defaulting to Slack, email, or various other communication platforms. Everything is in one place.

monday.com helped us avoid project delays because we can get a high-level overview of what a current team member or team itself is doing. The amount of time saved varies depending on the team, but our graphics team saved about 10 to 15 hours weekly. 

It can be effective at breaking down silos if your configuration team accesses it the right way. At the same time, it can also create silos if you don't have an efficient setup properly booted into it.

It's for cross-collaboration across multiple departments and external partners to have clear information in one centralized place rather than emails or spreadsheets.

The main benefit has been having something that is non-Microsoft-based software for integration, where there are more ways for you to not let everyone create duplicates. So, access management obviously is one thing, and the other thing is that it's a central repository with very clear features. You can add names, and you can add people in different splits. For me, its benefits are communication, clarity, and transparency on plans and also the ability to access the data asynchronously across the business.

It hasn't helped much with reducing project delays, but it has been helpful for project participation and collaboration. All of the work is marketing or campaign-based. It's more about information sharing and clarity rather than making things faster. It's just about making things work together. We were not doing that previously, but now, we are doing it. We are 50% better because previously, we were not able to do it, but now, we are able to do it. The other half is the people aspect of it.

There is more clarity on what other people are doing. Previously, things were locked in behind spreadsheets and SharePoints. In a large organization, you don't have access to everything. So, a lot of times, it took a lot of time to just ask for access to different things, whereas now, people need to come and put things forward.

I'm a COO of multiple companies that do business management consulting. I implement monday.com at every company that I work with for managing workflow, HR, SOPs, payroll, invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, meetings, and agendas.

If people know what they're doing, or the boards are put up the right way, or dashboards have been built, managers can usually assess how far along a project is and what needs to happen next. It's pretty amazing at showing a project's completion rate. You can pull almost any data you need out of it.

It helps me in terms of reducing project delays by giving me a bigger, comprehensive idea of where a project is at by listing the critical path, all the steps, and creating milestones of what needs to get done next. monday.com does a pretty great job of tracking the statuses of projects.

It's also great for breaking down communication silos between different departments that are not talking to each other. Being able to mirror boards or different departments' projects, statuses, and completion rates on other boards are elements that really help people to understand what might be delaying them in one department, and that this other department is coming along and getting things done. While people know which boards they need to be on because they're working on a given project, they are able to "get inside" other departments without being overwhelmed by their workload.

Collaboration is quicker through updating status boards and setting up automation for notifications. Before, you might have had a Google Sheet that said, "This bill is paid, or this task is done." Using logic-based automation means that it can function such that, "If this turns to this, then notify these people."

We were using it as a CRM to manage coaches and clients, but we were also using it for personnel, and we were using it for tasks. We had contacts in there. So, we were using it for all of that information.

We are no longer using it. We are transitioning this month to GoHighLevel.

It was the only way to handle all of our information. If we use Google Drive, it just gets out of control after a while. On Monday.com, we were able to identify the most important work that we had to do every day for the people who mattered. We had everybody on Monday.com. Once we understood the perspective of Monday.com, we could then see anything we wanted at a glance, and that was great.

It reduced project delays because it streamlined the handoff of information and transfer of information. It could have saved days or weeks, depending on what it was. The big hurdle was really setting up the automations and making sure that the boards talked to one another well. Once we did that, it was amazing. Work was done so much faster because people were notified immediately of what they needed to do. It made prioritizing what had to get done easy because you can just go through your email or your inbox and take care of something immediately.

It helps in breaking down silos within the organization because people can see in real time how they contribute to a project. So, something has to go someplace else and get signed off on, and then it bounces back, and it gets done. That is literally like someone walking over to somebody's office, "Put a signature on this one, please, and we'll get that done." You get faster responses when people get notifications from Monday.com versus a notification from me or from another person. Everybody gets pulled in at the right time, and you can see everything. If someone misses something, you can see it immediately because something or a process hasn't continued. The notifications or the ability to send notifications to people after-time also helps to organize outreach, sales calls, and things like that.

It provides you with the insights you need to empower decision-making because all the information is readily available, and it notifies you when things come in, when people respond to something, or when people submit the information. It directs the work for you. It's very easy to prioritize what you have to work on. You're able to see what's been assigned to you and what you have to work on, as well as oversee what's been assigned to other people.
