What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for project management for my startup - which involves development. I also use it to invite costumers or clients that would follow up with me in the process of making the projects true before an official launch.
It also serves to track the time to actually make payments to my assets. Even though is not fully optimized for the new Mac Book Pro line up M1, M1 Pro, and Max, the app still works for our main purposes. Definitely improving the intuitive interface is a must.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution lets me track just about every single task that I assign to a team member. It's a pretty straightforward tool. Not only can team members or assets take place in the Monday platform - my clients can too. I basically duplicate what boards I need to and the just simply change the users from assets to clients. It's kind of an inverted process to save me some time.
Monday still isn't perfect and the automations are not updated. It will take some time for my notifications to not confuse me once these are shot.
What is most valuable?
Automation is an essential feature. Alerts come in pretty handy every once in a while just to keep up. However, creating them can get you confused depending on how many members or guests you currently have assigned to an specific board.
The new UX updates have helped a little, however, since Monday has so many features, I kind of miss a lot of things that might come in handy to me. I really don't know which are the best, meaning sometimes I kind of feel I'm wasting my money as the Monday platform isn't cheap.
What needs improvement?
The new Apple Mac Book Pro lineup was launched more than two years ago and still, this platform is not compatible with the Mac App. This doesn't mean it won't work, however, the optimizing process and experiences could work better and exactly like the Web App you currently use when browsing Safari, Mozilla, Chrome, etc. Rosetta comes in handy, however, the M1 Max compatibility for the new Macs is a must. Also, there are a lot of features that the Mac App doesn't offer and the Web App does - such as payments and other things.

For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very laggy a lot of times. Scrolling isn't smooth and it is really a pain when you try to open tasks with lots of content.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is good, although there are many features that get lost on their radar. A lot of instructions are missing in terms of the walkthrough process to set up integrations, etc.
How are customer service and support?
They're fast yet sometimes inaccurate. More examples could be better.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used to work with Asana, however, the UX/UI was terrible. Back in the day, when Monday was called Da Pulse, I gave it a go and for 5 years now I've been a loyal customer.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is complex. As I said before, it has a lot of features you might even get to know.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was done in-house. Everything was done by myself.
What was our ROI?
The ROI has been 50% to maybe 60% in a good month - enough to cover Monday's cost.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is pricy, however, after seeing all the benefits, it definitely is worth it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I might have looked at other options, however, I can't remember the names right now. I definitely looked at Trello as it was in the radar, however, finally, Da Pulse won.
What other advice do I have?
The company needs to keep this updated as often as they can; the iOS App needs a huge UX/UI redesign, and voice notes are just a joke.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Google
