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

"I enjoy being able to switch between different views of a board, such as Gantt or Kanban, as this provides alternative ways of viewing tasks and managing workload."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"We are a lot more organized, and have transparency throughout key areas of our business thanks to this solution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution include the charts which are very useful for the reports."
"The ability to attach files to boards and truly make it collaborative is the most important aspect of the solution."
"Integrations with Slack and integrations as a whole are wonderful."
"I love how I can customize so many items on the boards to fit my exact needs."
"The most valuable aspect is tagging certain employees for certain tasks."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
 

Cons

"A message center that is similar to texting or Facebook Messenger would be useful."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."
"We'd really like to have the ability to have different types of boards within a board."
"I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns."
"The marketing notification emails from Monday.com are really poor and of little value to the user."
"The user admin module could be more accessible."
"The solution could improve messenger-based communication with clients in CRM."
"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."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"The basic reports could be improved in Zoho Projects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
"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."
"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 solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
"The product has different pricing models for different regions."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
"The product is fairly priced."
"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"The solution is cheap."
"The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."
