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.

A cost-effective project management tool that can be deployed in a very less time-frame
I have been using it for the last eight years overall, the applications, and they've come a long way now. It's really good and intuitive at this stage. However, I still feel that they could do a little bit more in terms of application integrations, like the third-party ones. That could be useful. There are a bunch of its integrations with third parties, but probably a little more would be better. The telephone support provided by the support team should become better. Regarding adding features or functions to Zoho projects, I think I would add more reporting tools to the solution. Some of the default reports in Zoho Projects are obviously useful, but I would like to add some more analytics based on all the activities taking place in Zoho Projects. I would prefer to build my own custom report and all those sorts of things.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automation process is one of the best."
"It allows us to know in advance when each part of the project would be finished, and thus optimize our time."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"I don't really use the tool's advanced features, but I think it is quite convenient that I can just link the remaining timeline to calculate the set of end dates and the start dates."
"Integrations such as the one for Slack have helped us receive updates on tasks immediately as they occur by other team members."
"We love how we can create boards specifically focused on one topic and have all tasks and projects pertaining to that in one place."
"Having visibility of all projects and every team member's workload has been invaluable."
"Being able to add comments to line items makes it easier to provide updates on tasks and flag if there are delays or issues in completing something."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"We can customize the tool."
"The product is very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"The constant reminders are very distracting."
"There are minor bugs that delete information or don’t autosave information placed. It doesn’t happen often, however, when it does it is inconvenient."
"We need the product to keep adding automation - specifically more subitem automation."
"Email notifications from Monday.com can sometimes not lead to the relevant update I am being notified about, which can be frustrating."
"I have to use a ton of filters to get the exact data I want on an overview board."
"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)."
"I wish the Time Tracking features were a little more robust."
"If I want to use the product after I have completed my assignment, or if I want to use it for some of my other projects, I don't really get to use it again."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"It is not easy to drag and drop a task from one person to the other. I think the resolution for the issue is work in progress. The product's stability can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"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 was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is cheap."
"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
"The product has different pricing models for different regions."
"The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."
"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
"The product is fairly priced."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
"The solution is not very expensive."
