Easy to use, efficient marketing automation and CRM tool
AI is upcoming, so for reporting and dashboarding, it would be nice to have some AI integrated into the system. Overall, some AI features can be added. For example, I can ask, like, we have imported conversion rates, and you can ask like, "What is the trend of the conversion of the last half year?" So, more on a reporting side you can get those kinds of AI skills. Not that you have to download an Excel and put it into another AI system to do the analysis, but that it would be possible to do it on its own.
Jaikishan Daryanani - PeerSpot reviewer
C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ActiveCampaign is for medium-sized companies is the better solution because it’s way less complex than the other solutions."
"It allows us to get everyone on the same page at their local terminal without having to sync everyone on ten different software solutions."
"The various integrations have made it easier for us to focus on keeping our information in one place so that we're not spending time (wasting time) trying to find information in different places online."
"The tagging and notification features are great."
"Monday is great in that everything is in one spot and you can connect boards as well as create your own automation."
"We love the live updates in real-time for all parties."
"Monday.com is the best platform for working with project organizations."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"Having all our stuff in one place, within one tool is extremely helpful."
 

Cons

"AI is upcoming, so for reporting and dashboarding, it would be nice to have some AI integrated into the system."
"The web page can be a bit buggy at times, especially after I switch to a different tab and then come back to the Monday site after leaving it idle for a few minutes."
"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 product can be improved by adjusting some of the ways in which the "boards" work."
"The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration."
"In my initial exposure to the interface, I did not find it to be very user-friendly."
"I work with many internet tabs open and would prefer having Monday.com as a separate program - not opened via the website."
"I wish the Time Tracking features were a little more robust."
"A message center that is similar to texting or Facebook Messenger would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The development costs are lower because you don’t have to have consultants changing and all that stuff."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user."
"The product is not expensive."
