monday.com Reviews

We use the solution for the organization of projects for different departments. We have different departments including marketing, customer service, production, analytics/accounting, and IT. Having the ability to separate these by department makes our lives 10 times better. I personally found it useful for inventory reports and upcoming projects. 

Overall, we use Monday to help in keeping everyone on track and to assign certain projects to departments in order to fulfill our monthly goals. The cleanliness of Monday helps in doing so.

It has kept us up-to-speed with each department and kept everyone on track to improving our company. 

We originally used Jira for our projects in the past. Since Jira is mainly a ticket-based system, it did not help us in the long run when it came to tracking time for each project and things like inventory reports, project sub-items, etc. 

In other words, Monday provides more options for us to be able to perform our wishes of assigning projects and creating ideas that will further improve our company. 

Items and boards are ideal as they help in keeping everything in a single location without any confusion. Those have been used to help organize each department's ideas/projects so that everyone has a space to bring up cool ideas that can benefit the company. 

Being able to integrate with certain apps helps us in communicating between all of our 3rd-party apps so we don't have to take the extra step in updating those. 

I personally enjoy the number of options you have in terms of columns. You can create almost anything within Monday. 

Load time and glitches do occur on the site. There are times when I have trouble loading a certain pulse, or board because the site would glitch or take a very long time to load. 

There is a limitation to the automation process. I wish there was more variety in terms of the things you can automate on boards/items. Maybe they need to invest in a desktop app as that will run a lot faster than on a website. Plus, all people need to do is download an app on their computer/phone to access their projects from anywhere. 

I've used the solution for six months.

The solution is used to keep track of time and effort on my job. It is also used to keep track of company projects such as event planning, social media planning, and to-do lists for everyday tasks. 

It's also a great way to stand up to an audit as we are funded by the US Department of Education. I find it to be very helpful in helping me see what my staff is up to on a daily basis and account for what was done and not done in the event of an issue with my boss. Our environment is very fast-paced and there is a lot to do all the time so Monday provides a quick solution. 

It provides us with an easy way to keep up with company projects and keep track of what each employee is doing. It's an awesome tool for us as all supervisors are able to look at their employee's work and account for the time that was used with our boss. 

It also does a great job with adding new features that have made our jobs easier such as giving us the option to upload files and pictures and it's super nice that they allow us to post gifs and bring a fun feel to our workspaces. 

The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list. My agency plans a lot of events - from college tours to large back to school events, to large community events. Being able to keep up with all the different moving parts and keeping it all In one once place is really helpful for me. There is no way I was able to pull off our back to school fest with over 500+ people if it had not been for being able to create a list of tasks and go through one by one and keep track of progress on each task in relation to that event. 

They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform. 

A few weeks ago, Monday.com wouldn't even come up, and on a normal day that poses a huge problem as we use this platform to ensure that employees are working on a daily basis. 

When you're not able to do that, that is a problem. I had to tell employees to record their work through email and that just creates a bunch of extra steps as opposed to logging on to Monday. I do not like this as it happened more than once. 

I've used Monday for about four years.

The stability is great.

The scalability is very good.

They offer very good customer support. 

Positive

I do not know if a previous solution was used. 

The set up was fairly easy. 

We implemented one-on-one with the company. 

Our ROI is very high.

I am not in on that process of licensing, therefore, I can speak to this question. 

We did not look into other options. 

I just want all the tech kinks to be worked out. It is an awesome platform. 

We use the solution for company project management and projects project management. We are a marketing agency consisting of 25 people. We are using Monday to basically manage the whole company including HR, time tracking, project management, and personal management.

I use Monday to plan and manage my personal and work tasks. We use Monday to manage our teams and also to manage projects with our clients. Basically we would not be able to operate without Monday at current moment. All of our processes are currently build around Monday.com.

Our company switched to Monday four years ago and it changed our everyday lives. We are managing our HR processes, our client's projects, and our various teams via Monday and are extremely pleased with it.

The solution helps the most with effectiveness and has great overviews to visualize our team's work. Thanks to Monday, everyone in our organization can keep up to date with all the tasks being done and we are doing it extremely effectively. We have tried several other PM solutions before without luck. The best part is, it is a good fit for everyone in our company and this does not happen often.

The tablewise approach, file management, adjustability, ability to invite clients to collaborate are all valuable aspects of the solution.

We can have different boards for different needs. Each of our team has got its own board (design, copywriters, strategists, web developers) and they manage their workload there. Each project is using its own board and everything is interconnected. 

We are using time-tracking on Monday which has changed the way we are working on projects and invoicing them. Also, unlimited storage within tasks is great thing to have as we are able to go back in history to find all materials that everyone worked on really easily.

Reliability has had issues these last few weeks. We noticed that the platform is down from time to time for several minutes.

Some boards are just buggy. For example, we are not able to see tracked times from other people and cannot add a new update. After contacting support they were unable to help. The problem is strangely happening on just one account and the only fix that we have found was to create a duplicate board where the problem looks fixed. 

Other than reliability problems we are really happy with the solution itself.

I've used the solution for four years.

It used to be stable, however, in the last few weeks we have noticed some problems with the reliability where the solution was down from time to time.

To understand the context, we have all tasks for each team set up within Monday. When we are planning a work for a team there is a meeting scheduled. When meeting starts and Monday is down, we can't really evaluate work or plan anything until it is back up. Also when a specialist is assigned a task in Monday, and Monday does not work they are unable to know what to work on. That happened several times in the last few weeks. It was not an issue before, the last two weeks or so seem okay again.

I can't really answer as to if this solution is scalable. 

Technical support is all good.

Positive

We used to use Wrike, Trello, and Asana. None of them worked for everyone or for every team and for every task. On Monday we can adjust to everyone's needs.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We handled the setup in-house.

The ROI was immediate.

New users should just go ahead and try it out. If you have been struggling in the past with PM solutions, you won't be anymore.

We did not evaluate any other solutions. 

I work in an accounting and auditing firm and I use Monday.com every day.

We use it for many purposes, mainly for keeping track of all the clients in the company as well as what work is required and when such work is due.

We use Monday.com to store passwords and completed financials, tax returns, and so forth.

Allocating work and keeping time spent on a project is always helpful along with due dates, emails, and reminders being sent and storing contact details, the multiple columns, and pages, Monday.com does it all.

Monday.com has improved our organization in many ways including planning, amongst many employees and many projects, and tracking time spent on a project as well as who does the work. 

We are able to store valuable information such as digital files, contact information, due dates, and so forth and not have to worry about whether it is safe or not.

Since we started using Monday.com, we have been able to do work more efficiently and keep track of everything. Everyone enjoys using Monday.com and cannot go a day without it. 

The feature that I have found most valuable is the boards on Monday which allow for allocation, time tracking, and storing of important information. This is quite valuable when it comes to an organization that is big, has many clients, and many employees.

We are able to keep track of clients and what they require and who needs to do what and we can get rid of the old whiteboard/pen and paper, saving us time and money and helping us go green. It is very user-friendly and the interface is clean.

The product can be improved by allowing for some sort of autonomous deadline creation. I'm not very certain of the possibility, however, it would be great.

Another aspect of improvement that would be great would be integration with other websites or applications such as Sage and CaseWare. Being able to directly upload information and so forth back and forth between two websites or applications would create a huge game-changer, that would completely allow Monday.com to the true title of "all in one place".

I've used the solution for two years.

The stability is excellent. There have been no issues on my side.

The scalability is good.

I have not had a need to reach out to support and therefore have no experience yet.

Neutral

We did not use a different solution previously.

It was straightforward and we did not have any issues. It was just your normal expected setup.

We had an in-house implementation.

The ROI is impressive and has improved in many aspects. We are quite highly satisfied.

Getting Monday is the best decision you can make - it is worth it.

We did look into Notion.

It changed the way our business works and it is great.

The solution helps to organize our workflow, to stay on top of projects and too manage team projects and to see if our team is overworked. 

We use it for our graphic department and our video production, making it easy to see where are we with the projects. The request forms saved us a lot of time and made things more organised, without them we would have a big mess and miss communication with our creative team. Our main use case is to track our projects if they are done in time so we don't miss any deadlines or if the team is overworked. 

Monday has drastically improved our workflow by helping us stay on top of up-and-coming projects or our internal projects. 

Before using Monday we were sending e-mails for project requests. The number of emails made everything confusing and some projects missed their deadlines since we weren't organized. 

Since we started using Monday about a year ago, our creative team has been organized and we don't miss any deadlines. We stay on top of projects and see what has a higher priority and what can be done later. 

The best feature is the form for requests for new projects. This made our workflow much easier. Before the creative request, we tried to enter requests manually, however, that lead to misinformation or missing key features. Since we started implementing the request form, our creative team has more than enough information to start creating and making the deadline. Project tracking is also one of the best features so we know where the project is and how close to the finished product it is.

The solution could be improved by adding more plugins for Adobe (not just Photoshop) and adding a plugin for Discord. Our creative team loves using Discord as the main source for communications. If there was a plugin that would combine the two that would be amazing. Similar to the plugin for Photoshop, we would love to see another plugin where we could see in the threads updates of the projects, if the project is done, and if the project is stuck (and needs some helping hands). If this would be all synchronized it would help our team a lot.

We have been using the service for about one year.

We haven't had any problems with Monday. We are impressed with the stability of this site. We didn't notice any crashes with the app (iOS and Android) so the stability is excellent.

Scaling means being able to create and control customer experiences for any type of customer, any size group of customers, and for any or all portions of a business. Ever since we started using Monday, this solution made us scale much faster. 

Support is excellent.

Positive

We tried using Trello. For our line of business, Monday is the only solution that we need.

For our new members of our team, Monday was and is the easiest solution to pick up and start working on. For users that never met with this solution, it was surprisingly easy for them to pick up and start working on projects.

We implemented this through our in-house creative team.

We are well organised with the solution, which, for us, represents a 25% ROI.

We advise upgrading to a pro user account. The features alone that you get will save you time and money in the long run.

We Googled a lot of other solutions, however, we found out that Monday is the one we need and is easier to pick up for new members.

We would just like to see more plugin support, like a plugin for Discord

We use Monday to help manage our software development projects. Its flexible boards also allow us to easily record a variety of business data. 

Monday's workspace functionality allows us to group boards by relevance. When we have a client for whom we do a lot of projects we can have a workspace dedicated to them. This also allows us to share certain boards with clients where necessary. That way they can see progress and contribute by providing information for marking tasks as complete. 

We also have some administration boards which contain sensitive business data that can be made private.

Since Monday is so flexible, it allows us to maintain projects in our own way. It doesn't force us to use a particular structure or make it difficult to add information which we find useful.

Having the ability to build what is essentially a more feature-rich spreadsheet and then pull reports from that is excellent from a reporting perspective. Using statuses allows you to enforce what information a user can enter and is colour-coded without faffing with conditional formatting. It is also possible to create formula columns and hide columns if you want to do more complex operations.

Being able to extend boards to include dashboards is very useful. We can have a board summarising an area of our business and see at a glance the status of everything going on there. Being able to build these into graphs and formulae provides good insights into progress (or lack thereof).

We have a large board which provides an overview of our business. The dashboards we have created then give us an instant oversight as to what is happening and what potentially might happen. As you can add multiple dashboards to the same board you can filter them to summarise the data from a variety of standpoints.

There are infrequent periods of downtime which can have an impact on our usage. Since we rely very heavily on Monday, when it goes down we really feel it. These happen a little too often for our liking, however, to say they happen all the time would be an exaggeration.

There are some small usability issues which can be an inconvenience. Changing deadlines often causes the date to jump or change unexpectedly. The application tries to be live so that your colleagues changes happen in real-time. This sometimes causes problems though and it gets confused, showing you old data which you've already updated yourself.

I've used the solution for around two years.

We have previously used Basecamp and ActiveCollab. Both of those are excellent products, however, Monday has more flexibility when it comes to the data we are using.

The cost is fairly high yet not unreasonable. It can take some time to set up your boards. That said, the time invested is worth it. You can also duplicate an existing board or create templates making the task near enough instant the next time you have to do it.

We looked at more general project management solutions like Trello and Jira. However, those would not suit our requirements.

Explore the range of different columns, automation, and apps available within Monday when you first start using it. It seems simple at first yet there is a lot of depth available to suit almost any of your needs.

We use this tool mainly for the purpose of project management and keeping track of external job tickets.

We also use to plan out our various marketing campaigns - allocating each aspect to the various team members with specific deadlines per task.

We use the form to gather external jobs which our team can approve and allocate as per our current priorities.

We can use it to view the workload of each one of our team members to ensure everyone is supported at each milestone of the project.

We use it for the approval of content.

As a team, we are much better prepared to go into a project. Using one program has sped up how we work and we find that less communication is overlooked. 

As a team, we are able to keep track of how projects are developing, making sure everyone knows who is owning the various parts of the project, plus knowing at what stage they are required to contribute and have their part done.

We can clearly see who is working on what aspect of the project to help keep the team healthy by not overloading team members.

We can clearly see project status.

We can make sure all logged job tickets get attended to in due time.

Monday.com is full of great features which enable collaboration and strategic execution of projects.

Shared boards help entire teams to plan out campaigns with ease and clarity. Adding milestones keeps everything tracking towards the deadline.

The various views available on the boards can give you clear overviews pertaining to specific aspects of the project at hand, seeing at a glance which projects are running behind, where projects will overlap, and allocating team members according to the current workload.

Automation has been a great tool to help things happen in the background, from moving items to different parts of the project, to sending automated emails to external clients.

The user communication aspect could be improved. We need it on-platform for all our team interactions. Monday.com is what we were using for managing all our work, yet still needed is a tool like Slack for more detailed communication and updates.

We haven’t quite found the same level of Communication within Monday.com while understanding that this is more a tool for project management. However, communication is centered around specific tasks.

We’re managing to make it work with an extra communication too. Perhaps we just had to take some time to adjust how we work.

I've used the solution for around 12 months.

The solution is very stable and reliable.

It's scalable. The more people you get on it from your organization, the better the tool becomes.

We haven’t needed any support yet.

Positive

We also used Slack (however, we needed more structured planning) and Wunderlist (we needed more structured planning).

The product is straightforward to set up.

It took a bit of explaining and training to get the rest of the team onboarded.

The ROI for us is a happy team.

The solution is well worth the investment.

Over the years, we have trailed many different tools. Asana was one.

The user interface is great. It helps a lot that it looks nice and the functionality is great. It's a big plus compared to other tools that may feel a bit less user-friendly.

As a training provider, we use Monday to collate information about our learners. This would be private and confidential information. We also use Monday to track people's work, time scales, and productiveness. 

Being a training provider that deals with government funding, we have to keep well-organized files and information about dates, times, and locations. With the platform, you can easily do this and monitor what other members of staff are doing and what they are up to with their tasks to see if you should start your allowing yourself to focus on your current tasks.

Monday has made the day-to-day running of the business much easier, with one platform that links to every aspect of the business. 

We can have a private board with sensitive information which will only be seen by assigned people. The system links to most other platforms (for example MailChimp and Outlook). Monday also allows me to allocate tasks to staff and give a time scale of when I will need this completed and will notify me once the task has been done. 

Monday is the perfect time management tool.

I have found task management the most beneficial aspect. With Monday, long gone are the days of writing notes on sticky notes. task management allows you to create timelines of the task you have and gives you the option to prioritize your responsibilities. If you are someone with a large workload and tend to forget about the little things, you can set a date/time reminder that will prompt you to complete the task, taking the stress away. 

You are also able to see what tasks other people have outstanding that could affect your time spent on a task

The one thing that I would change about Monday is the boards. I would find it much easy to have a board where you can have different items in each group of the same board. Instead, it should have the same information pre-set when you add another group.

The system could collate information from other boards easier. The mirror system, while being good, was somewhat confusing to figure out even with the helpful videos that are on the system. They do give you step-by-step instructions on how you would do this, however, I was still confused.

We as a company have been using Monday since 2021.

We never have any problems with Monday. It's fast and we never have any issues.

The scalability of Monday is great and allows us to use it in all aspects of the business.

The customer service is great. We haven't really had any issues with Monday. When we have gotten in touch they have been helpful and supportive. 

Positive

We used a CRM, however, we switched to Monday as the platform as it was multi-faceted. It is allowing us to be more productive with one platform.

The setup was quick and easy.

We had an in-house team member set us up. That said, the tutorial videos on Monday allow you to easily get used to the system.

Monday is very fair with their prices and how multi-faceted the platform is. It's worth every penny. 

We heard about Monday and once we looked into it, we decided it was the right solution for us.

I look forward to the new updates to see what changes have been made to make Monday even better.
