Centralized workflows have boosted cross-team collaboration and made complex projects manageable
monday.com can continue to improve their AI capabilities. When comparing monday.com to several alternatives when I was evaluating a project and project management, product road mapping, and workflow management platform for us, I looked at competitors such as Asana, ClickUp, SmartSheet, Airtable, and Notion. In my opinion, competitors such as Airtable and SmartSheet, especially followed by Asana and ClickUp, have worked on their AI and generative AI roadmap to combine database functionality with a very user-friendly interface for knowledge management and project tracking, essentially combining both worlds. Their AI is more sophisticated than what monday.com has released thus far. They provide a cleaner task-focused workflow management platform and I think that monday.com can still improve on this core piece of their technology. I think monday.com could also seek to be more process-oriented and intuitive. Other alternatives such as Asana and SmartSheet offer that approach. There is a steeper learning curve to learn monday.com in my opinion compared to Airtable, Asana, and others because I have also used those tools and platforms at other organizations. There is a bit of a learning curve with new users on monday.com because it is not as streamlined as I have experienced with competitors such as SmartSheet or Airtable. The capability sets are great, however, you may need to be hand-held via a monday.com rep when you get started within your organization or view the library of tutorials that monday.com has available. You can also view them on YouTube and that will help you get started on monday.com.

A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automation makes moving items around the boards easier and saves us time."
"Automations have proven most valuable, most notably because when I mark a pulse as complete it automatically tags a colleague, so I no longer have to manually send emails to push items along the approval process and we avoid errors that used to cost us time."
"It's made our lives so much easier. Managing multiple projects with various deadlines, updates, people and costs has become a breeze with Monday."
"The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails."
"Monday.com has changed the way our organization works as we are now able to be confident in the software we are using to organize our work and grant access to clients to look at."
"There are a lot of features and once you understand how to use them, it's quite easy to get the benefit out of them."
"In short - it keeps a remote asynchronous team in sync."
"It has brought a sense of organization, structure, and clarity into the department."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more flexibility with sub-items as well as more customization of branding for dashboards and exported documents."
"The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement."
"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."
"I find that I cannot customize my automations for Slack as much as I need."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"We have always wanted to be able to perform a global search for a phone number."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"Though it offers full customizability, the table is an area where the product's performance is not quite up to the mark."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the tool's free version."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"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."
"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."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
