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.

An easy- to- use and scalable cloud-based CRM tool for managing and tracking
I have noticed that Pipedrive is doing a lot in terms of web cybersecurity and integration with other tools, which is good. However, we haven't integrated it with our ERP system yet, so that might pose a challenge. We'll have to see how it goes. The Integration with artificial intelligence should be available in the next release. In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer. Perhaps, in the future, this could be achieved through artificial intelligence.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to attach files to boards and truly make it collaborative is the most important aspect of the solution."
"The power of the dashboard that the solution gives you means you can 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 quarters."
"We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing."
"I’ve found the ability to build dashboards through integrating information from various boards most helpful to ensure the right information is being communicated to leaders and other groups."
"From the user's perspective, and even for me as an implementation consultant, one of the most valuable features is the integration of different platforms with monday.com. In addition to that, the real-time reporting from the dashboards is also valuable, as is the ability to customize it."
"The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up."
"The date, timeline, and task management features are great."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"Pipedrive makes it easy to understand who I'm talking to at a glance. It has all the activities, node features, opportunity interface, deal interface, and time drive deals.The sales process is extremely simple, which saves me time and energy. I can send the document for e-signature and make the most out of my deals. I can automatically send emails and phone calls. You need to do only a little API programming. It offers massive flexibility. You can run an entire enterprise on the platform. The ease of use facilitates huge adoption."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is a stable platform."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
 

Cons

"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"We'd like integration with SharePoint so that it becomes easier to find and share files stored in SharePoint."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"Having more pre-defined formats and/or templates or having the ability to make public some formats/templates (not the information on them) would be useful."
"The dependencies and Gantt chart could be better."
"The stability could be improved."
"The constant reminders are very distracting."
"In my main table, I changed sometimes the timeline values mistakenly. That should be prevented via a smart warning or some sort of coloring."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"The integration possibilities with other systems could be better as well. We use it in connection with Octopus CRM, and there's room for improvement."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the tool's free version."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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."
"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."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"It's quite expensive when it goes to the enterprise license. Other tools like Jira cost 5 a month, and then their enterprise license is 38 a month, which is quite expensive for what we can do. It's £500 for a tool on a large enterprise. I'd have hoped that enterprise costs go down, not up. The pro license is £14, and then everything else is much more expensive, which is another barrier for us to adopt because other comparable tools are much more affordable when you have such a high multiplier as well."
"I am using its free version."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
