monday.com Reviews

The company decided to use Monday.com due to the flexibility users have with coding how the product or project will flow through each department. 

Our products flow through receiving, product development, sales, and project management. Monday allows us to see where the bottlenecks are in the design review process. 

We also use Monday to keep track of quality issues that arise in the field. Our quality control board allows all team members to update where we are in the quality review process. 

Monday has improved our process by seeing where products get held up. Poor implementation and training have caused individuals to reject using the platform. Having easier access to training videos and guidelines/advice on how to implement and how different features can interact with one another on Monday would be helpful. This could be set up as courses or modules to take on the website, allowing management to require employees to take those courses. Management could log in to see who did/did not complete the course. In addition to this, having practice automation problems, adding new boards, etc. would be helpful. 

The feature I have found most valuable is the automation aspect. As mentioned previously, there has been some rejection to learn the automations aspect to Monday. This could be because of poor implementation on the company's behalf. 

Another feature I find most valuable is the ability to customize the columns on each board. Our quality control board and product samples board has the ability to add pictures, reports, and other necessary information. This creates a single spot where all the information can be found. 

As mentioned previously, having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful. Some can easily get overwhelmed with how much flexibility there is causing them to be unsure where to start. This might lead to frustrations. 

Case studies on how other companies successfully implemented Monday could help too. The product and tools are great but some companies may need guidance on tailoring it to their needs. Highlighting the differences between boards workspaces, and dashboards and how they interact would also be helpful. 

We have been using Monday.com for project management and product development processes for 1.5 years. 

We did not use a different solution

The initial setup was difficult due to the fact that management did not understand how to implement it and what was the best course of action. Having access to a list of tips, guides on how to implement, or case studies on how other companies implemented Monday would be very helpful. I believe management did not know where to start and how to maximize the benefits Monday provided.

We handled the setup in-house.

I am only a user of Monday. I do not handle the purchasing. 

I work for a small digital marketing agency. We use Monday.com for almost every facet of our business - from managing all of our website design and graphic design projects to Customer Relationship Management to website maintenance requests. 

I personally use Monday.com for managing all the details of our website design projects. Given that these projects have hundreds of tasks across many weeks, incorporating Monday.com into our workflow has not only made our lives easier it has also given our clients a level of confidence in being able to see the project fully planned out.

Monday.com has been a massive step forward for our team in terms of boosting efficiency and productivity. 

It provides an easy-to-use platform for us to track the many details that go into a website design project and easily house all of our communications with our clients. 

Before using Monday.com, I was using a lot of checklists and relying on email communications - which was very time-consuming. Having everything in one place so the client can easily get a global view of the project and when to expect things from our team allows us to manage more projects and ultimately earn more revenue. At this point, I wouldn't even know how to function without this tool. 

I love the automation and level of customization available for the automation. It really helps us all stay on track and on top of our deadlines.

I love the Gantt chart view which allows me to see where projects will potentially overlap or where individual team members may have too much on their plate. Monday.com allows me to see ahead and plan ahead so we can minimize frustration while maximizing our output.

I love that I can easily duplicate boards - which is a huge time saver when I'm setting up new website design projects.

I would love it if there was a way to update multiple cells at once with the same data point. For instance, if I have 20 items that all have a deadline of 3/24, I'd love to be able to update them all at one time rather than individually.

I would love to have a way to hide an entire group within a board from the client for internal conversations. This may exist; I just haven't figured it out yet if that's the case.

Honestly, those are the only two things I have run into, other than that, I have everything I need.

I've used the solution for more than two years. 

It seems very stable.

My impression is that it is highly scalable. The more you use Monday.com, the more ways you will find to use monday.com.

Anytime we have a question about Monday.com, the support team is quick to respond.

Positive

We previously used Basecamp which was also nice, however, we felt that Monday.com offered a much more robust offering that could be used across many more facets of our business.

We had previously used Asana (as a guest) on some of our client's accounts. We preferred Monday.com's interface and functionality.

I didn't personally do the setup, however, it is my understanding that it was straightforward.

The setup was handled in-house.

I could not put a number on ROI, however, I know it has improved our efficiency which allows us to take on more projects.

The money that you spend on Monday.com is well worth it. It will likely pay for itself in terms of the time it will save you.

The primary use cases of the solution are documentation for projects and project management.

Monday.com increases the transparency of project management and team management.

Project management and workload management are the most valuable aspects of the product.

We would like personal documentation if possible. Even when the person leaves the team, he/she can still access all the files he/she created.

We've used the solution for two years.

We are a small agency and needed something to ensure quality project delivery as well as something we can use as a basic CRM tool. It has allowed our small team of five to handle over 30 projects going on at one time. We have a large government client where we have projects of at least 15 going on at one time and allows us to create a process for each one that is streamlined. Quality control becomes much easier and giving out tasks to multiple team members is also invaluable for our team to deliver for our clients.

It has helped keep busy team members on task and our leadership team to project and track business development needs. 

It has helped all team members collaborate in real-time. 

It has helped our leadership team and project delivery team keep track of what is going out the door each week as well as forecast revenue and projected workload for the next 3-6 months. 

Monday is great in that everything is in one spot and you can connect boards as well as create your own automations. Our team would need several different tools to do the same thing and the price per year is reasonable for small businesses.

The ability to house information that everyone can access in real-time, using a board as a CRM tool and exporting it out to a usable file format like Excel has been a lifesaver for our team - especially during holiday card time. 

The product makes it easier to be in control of privacy compliancy with the contacts we collect on a daily basis. 

We also love the fact that you can create your own automation. This has allowed us to create a project closeout process proprietary to our firm. Monday is so robust that we are still discovering features and enjoying the new ones the Monday.com team rolls out. 

We'd love the ability to be able to build and export reports based on multiple boards. We now have to take the information out and build our own reports which takes an extra step. It would be great to add our own branding to these reports and cut out that extra step or extra program we'd need to use to make that report. 

We'd also love to be able to connect contacts to boards or have a column to connect a client contact or lead to each project instead of having to type it in, etc. We'd like to be able to connect different workspaces as well.

Our team has been using the product for 1.5 years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very scalable.

Technical support has been great.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The setup is straightforward.

We implemented everything in-house.

We don't know our ROI.

It is very reasonable in terms of price and easy to set up.

We also evaluated Slack and CRM tools.

We use Monday to organize our clients and employee tasks. Specifically, we work in accounting and bookkeeping. The majority of our employees work remotely. 

I have created boards for client information, tracking of specific tasks such as payroll and sales tax, and individual boards for the employees, to keep on top of their client tasks each month. Our bookkeepers have individual boards on which they track time for client-related tasks.  We also have boards to keep track of monthly billing for clients.  

Monday has improved our organization in countless ways. We are able to keep track of our clients and all of the work that is being performed by employees. Since we work remotely, this has been invaluable to us. We have grown quite a bit over the last couple of years, and Monday has allowed us to manage all of our information in one place, which has helped immensely.  

Our employees are able to communicate and collaborate with one another on projects in real time, which is awesome. We are definitely more organized than ever before, and never miss a deadline, thanks to Monday.

Time tracking has been a godsend. As many of us work remotely, it has allowed us to keep track of our projects and bill clients appropriately.  

I also love that everything is happening in real-time and that we are all able to communicate about projects within Monday. 

The integrations are fun and useful.  

The email notifications of deadlines are super helpful for our organization.  

Monday is very customizable, which allows each company to utilize its features in a way that is unique to its needs. 

Once timers are cleared, there is no way to recover this data. I would love for there to be an option to "undo" or find this time in an archive when accidentally cleared.

I have found that the time trackers are a bit tricky in that if someone else assigns me to a project, the time is tracked under their name, instead of mine. This has been a bit of an issue for us. 

I would also like to see a way to customize boards where the columns do not continue all the way down so that each group can be customized independently of one another.

I've used the solution for two years.

There are some days when Monday does have technical difficulties and it really throws us off our game. We rely pretty heavily on Monday to track our time and tasks. Generally, though, it is pretty stable, and we will continue to use it as long as it keeps being awesome.

If you are asking about the range, it has an excellent range of functions, which I appreciate very much. I love how customizable it is to fit our needs. 

The experience with technical support has been good. I have received quick and helpful responses to my questions.

Positive

We did not have another solution, really. We were using Excel.

The initial setup was both straightforward and complex. I very much enjoyed setting up and creating all of our work boards. This would be a daunting task for someone who is not interested in this type of work. It can be as complex or simple as you'd like it to be. Our use is more medium-complex as we do use some of the integrations and hidden functions, however, we definitely have more to learn and experiment with.

We handled the solution's set up in-house. I did it myself. I learned as I went.

I'm not sure if I have seen an ROI.

The pricing is a bit high, yet still worth it. 

I would also advise new users that someone should be responsible for creating and customizing all of the boards to really make the program work for your needs. 

They will also want to keep up with the latest webinars and advances in Monday to get the most out of it.

I looked briefly at MS Teams, Slack and Asana.  They were not compatible with our complex needs.

I love it!

I am a Marketing Specialist and we use this solution to monitor the projects we are working on. It allows us to see who is working on a specific project and the level of completion based on the updates. We also monitor the time spent on each work and it helps us identify which area we need to improve to achieve the efficiency required by the client and the company.

Monday.com also makes our productivity review faster and easier as we can easily access projects that are completed on time and the ones that are completed behind schedules. This is very important for our HR in terms of giving out incentives and bonuses to the right people.

It helps us properly monitor each project and we can easily track who is accountable for a specific task at a certain time. This solution also helps us manage the workload of each employee in our organization because we can easily see who has a lot of assignments and who needs help. This solution helps us to improve our productivity in general. 

It also helps us to avoid errors as we can easily jump into a specific project when we noticed that it was behind due dates. With the thread feature, we can also easily identify where the issue happened so we can address it more accurately.

For me, the update tracker and time tracking help a lot. This helps me properly prioritize tasks that need immediate action. I also appreciate how the interface is so easy to view and easy to understand. 

I also love how you can easily integrate Monday.com with other communication apps like Slack. With this integration, we can easily communicate with the people who are working with us on a specific project. It is also great that the process of integration is so easy. 

In general, this solution is very user-friendly and I will definitely recommend it to other people if I am given the chance.

It would be great if there was a setting where you could customize the email reminders. It is nice to get reminded about your tasks, however, if you are working on different projects at the same time, it is kinda annoying to get 75 email reminders in a day. 

If Monday.com can add a feature where you can simply tick yes or no on each project if you want to get a reminder or update about it, it would be great. This will help us save time on clicking and archiving email reminders that we get on a daily basis. This might be unimportant for others but if you are time conscious employee like me. Saving 3-5 minutes a day can make a lot of difference. 

I've need using this solution for nine months now.

So far I can say that the stability is satisfactory. For the past 9 months, I have only experienced system glitches twice.

It is totally great and beyond my expectations in terms of scalability.

As of this moment I have not experienced any serious complaints that required me to contact customer service or support. 

Positive

I previously used Evergreen, Trello, and Asana before. I found Monday.com easier to use.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

We implemented it in-house; we have our own tech team that helps us manage production.

I'm not really sure about this. A high productivity rate is vital in our business, and Monday.com has helped us achieve that.

Monday.com is easy to set up and cost-efficient. I forgot how much an Evergreen subscription was, however, compared with Trello and Asana, Monday.com is cheaper and at the same time a lot easier to use.

I was able to evaluate the other options (Trello, Evergreen, Asdana) while working with my previous clients. 

I hope they keep on developing this solution. Every update in the past nine months has been really great. I am really looking forward to what they can improve as so far it is pretty amazing.

We are a mid-sized video production company of 15 employees and we are slowly growing. The growth is not only in the number of employees. It's also in the number of clients as well. 

As our workload increases, we constantly look for ways to improve ourselves/workflow to keep us more organized. 

We settled on Monday to help us keep track of the number of in-progress video productions we have. We also use the features to help us understand where at that we are in a project, what needs to be done and what will be done. It's an amazing tool. 

It has improved our organizational skills and kept us up to the task. We have many clients and our day-to-day entails us to be precise in making which tasks need to be done and who is assigned to them. 

We've used other solutions in the past, one being Asana, and Monday has been the better asset. Our team has enjoyed using it and I feel like it's eliminated any overlap and confusion that we might experience on projects, especially the larger scale ones. I believe that it also improves our outlook for new projects we can take on. 

The tabs (color coding) featured is great for distinguishing different areas of our workflow. Say that we have a music file that needs to be licensed - we use the color red (tab) to signify that the music hasn't been licensed. Once we license, we change the tab to brown. It's a small feature, however, the color-coding is something that makes completed tasks almost immediately indefinable. 

Having multiple workspaces is also helpful for different facets of the company so our different teams don't overlap. 

The tab closing feature is a bit vague at times. A better way to move and close/open tabs would be great. Sometimes, being the drop-down button is not as fast or intuitive as I would like but that may be screen dependent. 

I think adding a media feature would be great. Implementing instant access to projects for video teams might be helpful for media companies. How this would work, I don't know, but adding a visual component to indicate incomplete tasks would add an extra dimension to the user experience.

I've been using the solution for two years.

It's amazingly stable; there are no glitches.

It has the potential to scale if it keeps adding features. 

We have had no questions for that team yet and we have been using it for more than a year.

Positive

We used Asana. It was too convoluted.

it was simple. We learned it ourselves with no support.

We handled the initial setup in-house.

Return defiantly outweighs our investment.

It was a pleasant experience. 

My company looked at Asana and considered doing everything old school. They liked the integration with Slack notifications. 

We are a small environmental consulting firm with half our staff working remotely. We use Monday.com for project management and team communication. This allows us to maintain continuity of service for our clients and team members from anywhere in the world. Our Monday boards were an imperative communication tool when two key team members worked in Germany on a large training contract. Status updates were streamlined across all users despite a six-hour time difference and there was no loss of productivity. 

Monday.com has improved our communication with project updates available to all team members without sending a million emails. No one is inadvertently left out of a conversation and we can all check on the status of our projects from anywhere. During the lockdown, Monday.com helped us stay connected. Those who were used to in-office work environments struggled a bit with the transition to full remote. Using our Monday boards, we quickly adapted to our virtual workspace. It allowed us to work when and how we were able in those first tumultuous weeks and still all be on the same page. 

I love the chat box feature where I can leave instructions for groups or individuals. 

Shareable boards are a great solution for clients who want to track the progress of their work orders without checking in with us directly. 

The filter and search features are also extremely helpful in compiling work orders by month, client, location, etc. 

Document links are a great tool and sync well with our Dropbox Business account. I can share document links directly without having to sort through client files. 

I wish there was an option to pay for one-on-one technical assistance rather than watch tutorial videos. Sometimes I don’t have the time or bandwidth to seek my own solutions. I love the tutorials when I have time to learn new skills, however, sometimes I just need a solution immediately so I can move on to the next thing. A fee-for-service technical assistance session, sold in blocks of time, would be extremely attractive to those of us who sometimes just need to throw money at our problems. This would be worth whatever they charged on a day with a million deadlines. 

I've used the solution for five years.

In five years it’s only gone down once and that was for less than an hour. The customer service team sent us status update emails so we could plan for when our boards would be up and running again. In terms of being a long-term investment, monday.com has grown with us as we added new people and clients. 

Monday had grown with my company. I started with three staff and a dozen or so projects. We now have ten team members and over 50 projects. When we level up, so does Monday. 

I’m disappointed that I can no longer speak with a person for technical assistance. As I mentioned earlier, sometimes I don’t have the time or headspace for independent learning via tutorial videos. I’d joyfully pay for blocks of time for sit down chats with customer service. 

Positive

I was previously using Excel for project tracking. It worked for a few years when we were three people in a tiny office. As soon as we had to start emailing it back and forth to remote teams, however, it became apparent this was not our best solution. 

The initial setup was super fast. I watched the tutorials and built my first board the day we started the free trial. 

We had assistance from a vendor team. Their expertise was great. They taught us everything we needed to know to get started. 

ROI is hard to calculate as we now use Monday for everything. 

We recently upgraded from standard to premium. It’s worth it for all the additional features. 

We tried Slack and Microsoft Project. Monday.com was the best solution for us based on user interface, price, and how it fit with our workflow. 

Monday.com is basically our office now. Although some of us did come back to the physical space, that was a choice. We’re ready for remote work and hybrid positions now with Monday.
