Featured Reviews

NavinJacob - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
Has enabled seamless integration across platforms while supporting advanced analytics for customer insights
Microsoft Dynamics CRM doesn't provide solutions that allow you to transform easily if you have a heterogeneous mix of technologies or if your contact center is on analog and you try to digitize it. A lot of custom work is needed if you have to integrate heterogeneous technologies with the Microsoft suite, but if you are using the Microsoft suite, then it's quite seamless. Microsoft Dynamics CRM should add commercial models that allow smaller companies to use it because it can get pretty expensive. Better commercial options for smaller implementations may be helpful. There should be commercial options for smaller companies, as the overheads and costs of Dynamics can be quite high.
Mirii Nyambura - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at Unilever
Project collaboration has improved and automation saves time and reduces errors
The best features monday.com offers are reporting, customization, and company contacts, tracking communication, and project plans. All of the features are really important, especially the project planning, which gives us the ability to manipulate project plans, and it's very helpful. Also, tracking our communication is valuable. I love that I can see both my communications and the communications of my coworkers with the company contacts. When it comes to company contacts, I appreciate the ability to have the company as well as various tags, documents, and contact types. It has really boosted our team collaboration, where different departments are able to collaborate within one project, and we are able to complete many projects on time and deliver them to our clients. Our clients have become very happy over time since we started using monday.com. We've been able to complete many projects on time and meet our deadlines. This has really made our clients happy, and they have trusted us a lot. Through automation of tasks which were previously time-consuming and tedious, we've been able to save a lot of time and cost. We've also improved our team collaboration. We can collaborate securely remotely, thereby improving our productivity. We've been able to save thousands of dollars since we started using automation. We're able to save approximately 80% of our time through automation. We've also been able to reduce human risk, where there is no human contact with the data, thereby greatly reducing human error.
