monday.com Reviews

Our education team at our non-profit uses this site to assign each other tasks, to stay organized, and to sort out different categories of things to focus on. 

In addition to its support for a wide range of use cases, the site is loaded with functionality. 

It comes with collaboration features, timeline views, calendar views, time tracking features, and dozens of integrations. 

My boss usually will tag me in task items after our weekly meetings so that we can keep track of them together. When I have completed a task, I enjoy changing the tab from "working on it" to "done". It is so satisfying! 

It has drastically helped me to get organized in the office and for personal to-do lists as well. 

Our whole nonprofit uses it to tag each other for meetings and tasks to work on and focus on. Whether you want a big-picture view or want to see daily tasks at-a-glance, you can easily switch views and drill down or zoom out as far as you need. 

The satisfaction that I receive from completing tasks pushes me to want to complete the whole list. 

With the right integrations, you don’t have to bounce back and forth between platforms, you can build workflow automation to eliminate repetitive administrative tasks, and keep everyone in the loop on autopilot. 

Monday’s project management software syncs up with just about anything you’d need it to, including Slack, Dropbox, Zoom, and Google Calendar.

I love being able to "check off" a task by changing its status to "done." It also disappears off the list when you complete it. 

Monday.com is one of the few project management tools on the market with built-in time tracking capabilities. Most project management tools only offer time tracking as an add-on. When the time tracking and project management tools play well together, you get a deeper look at how long tasks take, the entire timeline of your projects—down to the minute, and identify your most time-consuming tasks. You can turn the tracker on or off with a click or enter time manually. You can even track time from anywhere using the mobile app and a few taps. 

Thanks to Monday.com’s automation, you can eliminate repetitive tasks, like notifying your team or moving a card from one column to the next. It's great!

I don't have any feedback for improvement - I love the site. The idea behind a project management platform is that it makes your lives easier rather than adding yet another tool your team doesn’t know how to use. 

In less than an hour, you and your team will know all you need to know—without relying on professional training. There’s an extensive knowledge base with hundreds of video tutorials to help you get started, troubleshoot problems, and get your crew up to speed. When we were introduced, we loved the concept and didn't even need training for it. 

Monday.com has tons of features and capabilities. However, you’ll need to upgrade your plan to actually benefit the most from these tools. For example, Gantt charts and timeline views aren’t available with the entry-level plan. To access time tracking and private boards, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher level.

I have been using Monday for about a year now. It was introduced to my team at work.

I used a regular planner and my smartphone before. I now have Monday on my phone as an app and it's great.

If you want all of the features, be willing to pay more, however, the basic levels are great.

I was not in a position to choose, however, I am glad we went with Monday.

We are a manufacturing company and we use Monday.com to keep track of our production log. It has simplified our work and all employees can access it from anywhere. 

We also use it for our sample logs, employee holidays and to see the invoice statuses.

All employees can access it so everyone is in the know of what jobs are coming in and what jobs are going out.

We can see what date something came in to our goods in, what we received using the description column, when invoices have been paid and what date the goods are expected to be delivered back to the customer.

All of it is great. It has a section for everything and you can create automation so it fits your needs perfectly.

It does everything we need it to, so I would say no improvements are necessary.

if I had to say something .. a link between boards that takes you to the board in question when you click on it.

e.g. board 1 for samples - related to board 2 production. If I could add a link from the sample to then take you to see what job it relates too (similar to when you click the link on the message area).

We've used the solution for approximately two years.

The stability is great.

The scalability is great.

We have not yet used technical support, however, I have noticed when the platform is down, it gets resolved very quickly.

Positive

We used Excel which was not as user-friendly and not as easily accessible for employees. We switched to Monday.com

It's a very straightforward setup - all of the employees profiles are added at the beginning and can start viewing straight away.

We handled the setup in-house.

The product is well worth the money - a one stop shop management system.

We use the solution for project and team management. 

We use this to track project timelines, hours used, and the teams assigned to work on them. We also connect with clients in different time zones using the Monday.com platform and it has been working great for now. 

There are some things I think it should implement, however, overall, it is a great platform to use for big or small teams. The organization capabilities are the main draw. I wish it had a better integration with Google Drive to share assets though. 

Overall it does what we need which is to keep the team and projects aligned and organized.

We are a company with overseas teams and the platform helps us be all connected and updated in all of the projects we handle on a daily basis. 

We also connect with clients and stakeholders on any updates a project may need to have. 

We also use it for onboarding clients and new team members. This helps streamline the process and makes it very easy for everyone to learn the tool since we can set it up as different steps they need to go through. 

Everyone is happy with this solution and also with the new features they launch every month. 

The solution is helpful for managing statuses for projects, notifications, and comment sections. I especially like the dashboards where you can combine info from different boards into one. 

I like the system's integration features since they allow me to streamline my work process. The UI/UX is simple and easy to use, making it easy to see where projects are and where they are headed. I particularly like how we can post summaries and project ideas in clearly accessible locations. 

Everything we do is documented, which is useful for both internal and external purposes.

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. It would also be nice to integrate a billing system in it for agencies to bill their clients.

There are some features that are overcomplicated to implement and that are not great for the user. I don't want to have to call someone every time I want to set up new automation or special board to get help. 

There are some things we would like to be able to do that the platform doesn't have integrated and a lot of other platforms are needed to make it work. 

I've used the solution for almost two years.

We've had a good experience so far; all our questions were answered or solved.

Positive

Yes, however, this one is the one my current company uses.

We did the setup in-house.

The pricing is a bit high for the enterprise level and it doesn't offer that many extra features.

Yes, however, it was not my decision to go with this product.

There are things to improve, however, they are constantly adding new features for the users.

As an email designer, I use Monday to organize copy for emails between myself and our e-commerce manager. It really helps us keep timelines straight and organized with information that could be easily lost in someone's inbox. 

Someone will upload a copy and any necessary imagery, and assign the task to the appropriate person and it helps keep every team member all on the same page.

The archive system is also very helpful for clearing out tasks once they're finished. 

Monday.com is an easy and simple way to share ideas that can undoubtedly get lost in inboxes. 

It has simplified communication on our team when it comes to relaying any and all information for our email marketing campaigns. Nothing is getting lost in anyone's inbox - the information is all right there to be referenced by anyone at any time. 

All of our deadlines are being hit in a prompt manner with time to spare. This solution has made our organization very happy with managing timelines and workflow.

The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools. I find that this keeps everyone on the same page and limits questions about who's working on what and what stage that project is in. When those questions arise they can be answered by going to Monday.com and the team members who are working on the project can continue to work on it uninterrupted by simple questions. It helps keep the flow of the workday running without any hiccups.                    

The service could improve in its ability to automatically update. In my experience, if new projects are created or old projects have been updated the view of anyone who is already on Monday.com does not automatically update. This can lead to people working on old or outdated parts of projects. I have found it necessary to manually refresh the page periodically just to be sure everything I'm seeing is current and correct. This would be a nice update to include in the next release.

I've used the solution for two years.

The product is mostly stable; we only had to deal with one or two outages.

The solution is very scalable.

Monday is the first thing we've used for this.

I did not deal with any pricing information.

I was not on the team that evaluated options.

We use Monday.com to keep track of custom orders and backorders. Lots of our work needs to be tracked throughout each stage so we use the different columns to easily link to CRM pages and invoice pages of each order. 

We also use this to keep track of deposit and balance payments as well as add tracking information and delivery statuses. This helps to show all orders and their statuses at a glance. Thanks to Monday, we avoid having orders forgotten or sent at the incorrect time.                

We are able to efficiently keep track of orders throughout each stage from ordering to dispatch. Monday.com displays this in an easy-to-view way. We use the link option to easily link our orders to our customer CRM pages and invoices. We also use the status columns to keep track of payment and dispatch. We have transitioned from Excel to Monday.com and have seen a huge decrease in errors. With its easy-to-use features, we are much more efficient and effective in processing orders.

We use the status column quite frequently and the search bar to easily find specific customers and orders. 

It also helps to be able to organize boards under different categories with folders to make them easy to locate. 

We use the collapse group function to help us easily locate current orders and business matters without needing to lose information from past orders. 

It’s been helpful to be able to allocate items to different staff members and notifications help to make sure that we do not forget any tasks.

It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards. For example, if the status in one board were to be changed to a certain status, this would trigger an action in a different board. 

It would also help to be able to have a better day view of allocated tasks with due dates. Improved integration with different software would also be helpful to make processing orders much more efficient and reduce the risk of human error. These improvements would help to make the process much more streamlined.

I've used the solution for one year.

We are impressed by the stability of Monday.com.

We’re very impressed by the custom abilities of Monday.com and how this can adapt to all our needs.

We used Excel and chose to switch as it was too manual and open to human error.

The setup process was very straightforward as the setup prompts were clear and easy to follow.

We did the implementation in-house.

We are happy with the pricing.

Yes, we considered many options, however, they were all too complicated and not what we were looking for.

It's a great app for project leading. As an event and promotion agency, we're more than ever very sensitive to all the costs of managing and communicating streams of understanding. We also use it for event and shift scheduling. 

It's great for feedback with clients where you could have all the relevant information associated with a particular project in one place. The solution is great for sharing attachments and links for all photo albums on our Google Drive. 

I definitely use it for my personal goals and projects. 

All the improvements though years are very handy.

We were struggling with duplicate information previously and Monday brought more effectiveness to our work in many ways. We could share all information in one "live" stream. 

With a client "on board" who's are very comfortable with this particular service, it helps to improve business relationships as well. 

When you have a tool that anybody can use from all devices, it spares some time so that you could do and handle way more things. 

The custom-made boards and solutions are good.

The dashboard is great for knowing what's most important and what's next. 

We would like to have more open boards at one time and more CRM functionalities.

We've used the solution for four years - since 2018.

The stability is great.

The scalability is great.

We used Asana. It was too difficult.

We've had an ROI of $560 USD.

I'd advise new users to always check you filled out their VAT ID.

We did not look at other options. It was love at first sight.

I'd advise customers to try it for free first and then decide. 

We use the solution for project management for designers, marketing, and comms teams. It's used for collaborating on campaigns and big projects alongside monitoring day-to-day tasks. Our work environment is in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) so we have a lot of fast turnaround projects for multiple brands. 

Monday helps us manage and organize these efficiently while allowing for total transparency to other people in the business, so they can check the statuses of their projects and liaise with different teams accordingly on details or updates.

It's made our lives so much easier. Managing multiple projects with various deadlines, updates, people and costs has become a breeze with Monday. 

We previously were using Excel and it was an absolute nightmare as it was so rigid, uncollaborative, and of course, didn't include anywhere near the number of features that Monday provides. 

It has also allowed transparency within the business in regards to workloads, timelines, and time management and allows team members to check up on their projects without lots of emails flying around.

Timeline and countdown systems have been great for us as well as the ability to "@" team members in comment sections to have collaborative conversations, give feedback, and share files. 

As a design team, we work very closely with the marketing team on bringing projects and ideas to life. It's great to have a system that allows us to do that fluidly and have visible conversations in case anyone further needs feedback or input at different stages on the project. 

Monday provides great capacity for storing files, conversations, and seeing the history of a project.

It would be good to have a countdown timer to a deadline date so you could see 'days remaining' to work on a project to help schedule time, as currently it only shows the end date. 

Also, a way to ensure sub-items in a project has a bit more visibility would be ideal, rather than being hidden in a drop-down.

It would be good as well to include some more interactive features within Monday, for example, for mood-boarding ideas and an easier way to live comment/feedback on files without having to leave multiple separate comments in the notes section.

I've used the solution for two years.

The solution is very stable.

For SMEs in particular, it's very scalable. It's great

I have a rep and she's always been helpful. We don't need much support as the system is very straightforward.

Positive

No previous solution was there, other than Excel.

The initial setup was easy and straightforward.

We did the setup using an in-house team.

The cost seems expensive, to begin with, however, it is well worth it if you utilize the system.

We also looked at Trello.

Our company started using Monday to track tasks and workflows. Later on, we started using it to keep records of employees and documents. For example, our HR department creates items with check columns and it tracks the required documents of all employees. 

Furthermore, HR personnel uploads all the documents corresponding to the new employee, and then it goes for authorization from the HR manager. Subsequently, when the yearly evaluation comes the department has all the required files in one place and digitalized.

We were in deep need to find an online solution where everyone in the company could work together and keep track of workflows. Since using Monday.com our productivity has been elevated by at least 35%. Having a platform where you create and automate a lot of small things like creating a sum or other formulas where you normally would have assigned someone to do it manually in a simple Excel locally or in SharePoint decreased our time to respond to our internal requests from any other department. It's very simple since we started using it and we don't see ourselves trusting any other platform.

Having multiple boards and different user-friendly items and visualizations were what we needed to have all employees familiarized with the platform. For example, our business in Facility Management has a lot of personnel where technology isn't their area of expertise. Therefore, having a platform with such expertise in creating features and keeping them with such simplicity is a unique asset that we couldn't find somewhere else. 

Support from Monday.com makes you feel super comfortable communicating any inquiries you may have. 

Better integration with Outlook would be awesome. For example, an add-on where the user could write an update on Monday via e-mail will literally elevate the whole experience for our business. It would minimize the time to search for the corresponding item on different boards and update them.

Another great option might be to give admin privileges and elevated access to multiple boards. For example, if someone leaves the company and somehow you need his uploaded work documents you cant exactly get them. It creates an issue that involves contacting the support.

As a company, we've used Monday.com since 30 October 2018.

We literally trusted Monday.com since day one.

I'd advise potential new users to not bother with such small details in terms of cost and licensing.

We did various evaluations.
