Great analytics view, helpful integrations, and has excellent organization capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
  • "Managing project status and product development may be quite difficult unless you have a project manager."

What is our primary use case?

The product is used for tracking customer success activities and daily interactions with customers. We're using dashboard views to analyse data gathered on the boards and track due dates for customer engagements. It's helpful for product release planning and sharing updates with team members as well as onboarding project management. 

The primary use case, however, is tracking customer engagements and reporting to higher management. We also use Monday.com for managing training activities for new joiners. We have close to ten workspaces with five boards on average.  

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com helps my organization track the pulse of our customers and gives a 360-degree view of our users to everyone in the organization. It has helped us in tracking customer engagements and reporting to higher management. 

We also use Monday.com to efficiently onboard new users and give them access to all the training material needed for communicating with the customers. We have close to ten workspaces with five boards on average.

What is most valuable?

The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations. The integration capabilities to bring in data from external sources like Gmail, Zoho, and HubSpot. Even connecting to Google Sheets is very helpful. 

Prior to Monday.com, all requests were sent by email, making it difficult to keep track of the workload. With Monday.com, all team members can view what's in the project file and know where each project job is in the process. 

I really enjoy the customizing features that Monday.com provides; we have a number of clients that want a tailored experience to make things simpler for both us and them. Monday.com has so many excellent features, however, if I had to select one, it would be the organization.

Monday.com also facilitates internal and external collaboration. The time management and cross-team functionality are fantastic.

What needs improvement?

Managing project status and product development may be quite difficult unless you have a project manager.

Excellent integrations with great color coding and various board views
Pros and Cons
  • "Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done."
  • "Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information."

What is our primary use case?

I use Monday in my work. I work for a Marketing and Advertising Agency. 

We are a 20-member team. Monday is really useful. The best thing (recently added) is that you can see everything that is asigned to you and keep track on what's on your plate. 

As a small team with a variety of roles (like designers, code developers, writers, social media managers, and consultants) it is really useful to keep everybody up to date.

There is a way you can share a board with clients so they can see in real time how is the project running.

The app is great too. You can work even if you do not have your computer near.

How has it helped my organization?

When I joined the company, they already used Monday, however, compared with other tools that I've used in other companies, this is superior. 

Monday allows for remote work perfectly. You can see the contributions made by others. You can get notified every time something has been updated.

Monday is a great way to have history and a backup for all the work done. Other tools are just like live chats, however, Monday keeps track of everything. 

You can have different roles for every person in your team. 

The productivity tool is one of my favorite aspects. You can even track the time it takes you to complete a task.

What is most valuable?

The productivity tool is great, as is task dependency.

You can create specific groups on your boards and give them color codes. This is really useful.

It is great that you can select if you want to see the project in list, kanban, or Gantt. This is something really useful that other tools do not allow you to do. Usually, you have to use more than one solution. 

You can integrate Slack, Google, Excel, Drive, or Dropbox.

As a company that uses a variety of tools, it was great to have everything in one place, Monday was the solution.

What needs improvement?

Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information. That is something you can already do. Instead, we'd like to add a client as a client so they can give real-time feedback, answer questions, and see the whole project and its stages. It takes time to copy and paste things that the client could be adding on Monday, and the team can see it with no problem, with controlled access.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is completely stable and trustworthy.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

They are adding some great things, however, a client version would be a really big step.

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, I did use a different solution. I changed as my new work uses Monday.

How was the initial setup?

It was all set up when I began with the company.

What about the implementation team?

I don't know how the company set up the solution initially.

What was our ROI?

I don't know what our ROI is.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not know about the pricing; my company pays it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate other options.

What other advice do I have?

Monday is wonderful.

Very customizable with great automation and lots of templates
Pros and Cons
  • "It is extremely customizable to each and every one of my clients' needs."
  • "One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."

What is our primary use case?

I work in an advertising agency setting with more than ten people and we use Monday.com for our internal project management for our different departments including graphic design, social media content, social media ads, google ads, billing, project planning, and website creation and development. We also have a board for each and every one of our clients. 

I utilize Monday.com constantly via my laptop and my cell phone. The syncing between my phone and computer is flawless and I never have any issues with it.  

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com has improved the organizational efficiency of our advertising agency. Before Monday.com we were using multiple apps whereas with Monday we are able to only check one place. It accomplishes everything that we need from it and I love how they are always developing new add-ons or integrations. A lot of my clients really like when I specifically set up a Monday board for them. Monday is incorporated into all of the branches of our industry and has improved the efficiency of each one.

What is most valuable?

The automation settings on each board are amazing to me. I love how many options there are. It is extremely customizable to each and every one of my clients' needs.  

With over 200 different templates for creating boards and automation, I always have what I need. 

Monday is perfect for small and medium-sized businesses. It is a one-stop shop for everything you need. 

I also love the trendy aesthetics that it offers, it really steps up the game when our clients receive their own custom Monday board.  

What needs improvement?

One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature. Our office mainly uses iMessage right now to instantly communicate with one another. 

The only other software that we use that we wish we could get rid of is Evernote. I would love to be able to share notes with my colleagues in the same way that you can on Evernote. You can also search within your notes by typing certain words or phrases within a search bar.  

Those additions would be the final elimination of any other software that I use.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for five years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options.

Great charts, useful reports, and very interactive
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable aspects of the solution include the charts which are very useful for the reports."
  • "We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is used for interactions, reports, and the ability of many entities to add values and view boards. It's very good for industrial and organizational structure and functions. It saves a lot of time and is a good platform to invest in.  

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspects of the solution include the charts which are very useful for the reports. The reports are accurate and timely and the boards allow users to add values. It's very good for industrial and organizational structure and functions and has made a big change in the speed of values and information transfer. It provides an interactive, fast environment, and saves so much time at all levels.

What needs improvement?

We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook.

We would prefer if we could let some entities view specific information like only reports. 

I like the chart of countries, however, if it could add some features for delivery and shipping for export, it will help a lot (for example, in logistics, the port of loading, and port of discharge). 

It could add the tracking of the shipments, for example, what is the status of every shipment. That would also be a good feature. We'd also like to upload some files or photos for each order line-wise.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. There are never systems down.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is perfect.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is not bad.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We only used Excel and email.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution for a sister company and it was very good.

What was our ROI?

ROI is not applicable to me.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's not costly compared to the benefits.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

By search and recommendation, we got to this solution.

Helps with organization, offers good project management capabilities, and has helpful technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "It is nice that you can color code everything."
  • "It would be ideal if, when you are assigned a task, to somehow link it with your calendar on Outlook or Gmail."

What is our primary use case?

We use Monday.com as a team to organize our work and keep us all on track. We have different channels for our different projects and then have tasks under each project that are assigned to certain people within the organization. This helps to know when things are due and who is responsible for completing them on time. It also shows how long we have been working on a project and if we are stuck or if the project is waiting on an action from someone else within the team. We have a small team and it is nice to feel organized. 

How has it helped my organization?

It helps us to stay organized and support the management of projects. 

We use Monday.com to manage all our projects and the work that we do as an organization. 

Monday makes sure that we are all on the same page with our work and that we have the same idea about timelines and who is responsible for what. 

Project management is so important within our organization. Having this software is great as it does a lot of the work for us and guides us when needed. We host our meetings and take notes that are saved on the platform that we can refer back to. 

What is most valuable?

That we can take notes and there are different tabs that can be used to organize our work are the most valuable aspects for us. Monday makes sure that we are all on the same page with our work and that we have the same idea about timelines and who is responsible for what. Project management is so important within our organization. 

Having this software is great as it does a lot of the work for us and guides us when needed. We host our meetings and take notes that are saved on the platform that we can refer back to. 

It is also nice that you can color code everything. 

What needs improvement?

I'm can't come up with anything concrete that needs to be improved. It would be ideal if, when you are assigned a task, to somehow link it with your calendar on Outlook or Gmail. I don't know if this is possible, however, I used both to keep track of my tasks and I often have to look at both programs to see what is due and when it is due. 

Beyond that, Monday is a great project management site and it helps my organization to stay on track and stay connected to one another. It also provides us with an overview of all our work. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Monday.com for three years.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support has been great! 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Easy to build dashboards with easy integration capabilities and great overall versatility
Pros and Cons
  • "I’ve found the ability to build dashboards through integrating information from various boards most helpful to ensure the right information is being communicated to leaders and other groups."
  • "I'd like better integration with other services."

What is our primary use case?

I've primarily used the solution for KPI tracking, project management, and schedule coordinating. Our group has adopted the use of Monday.com for KPI tracking specifically for changes made to company documents. As all the tasks are documented on Monday.com, it allows for easy KPI measurement. We also use Monday.com for project management due to the intuitiveness of the system. It is quick and easy to learn for most professionals and provides reminders for tasks that are outstanding. We also use it for schedule tracking to ensure we have sufficient coverage and everyone is on the same page.

How has it helped my organization?

Monday.com has allowed our company to be more organized. It has given transparency to the tasks required for an initiative to be successful and encouraged communication cross-departmentally. 

The capabilities of Monday.com are so wide-reaching and versatile that it works for multiple diverse departments and projects. This allows boards to have a curated feel rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Monday.com has by far been the company’s best investment of all the systems we have purchased thus far.

What is most valuable?

I’ve found the ability to build dashboards through integrating information from various boards most helpful to ensure the right information is being communicated to leaders and other groups. 

The ability to build dashboards in Monday.com has given us the ability to automate reporting and opened up possibilities for further reporting. The dashboard capability allows me to go in and quickly understand where my teams are and identify obstacles I can go in to help move for them. The dashboard capability allows me to catch future risks early.

What needs improvement?

I'd like better integration with other services. My best example is the Outlook Calendar integration. When using this integration for time tracking purposes, Monday.com integrates with Outlook Calendar yet only recognizes meetings I organize - not all the meetings I also accept. When it populates these tasks on my time tracking board it doesn’t properly represent the amount of calls or meetings I am in as it doesn’t recognize all items on my calendar - only those that I create. It would be ideal if it recognized all of them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable.

How are customer service and support?

I have never dealt with technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use a different solution previously.

How was the initial setup?

I was not a part of the setup process.

What about the implementation team?

I was not a part of the setup process.

What was our ROI?

The specific ROI is unknown, however, the non-monetary value has been invaluable.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don’t handle the licensing portion of the product.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate others, however, it is my understanding that our business systems group did.

Excellent table planning, documentation, instant Gantt charting
Pros and Cons
  • "It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth."
  • "Timetracking should be a little more powerful."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for project planning for software and UX design projects. 

How has it helped my organization?

The product has helped our organization greatly. It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth.

What is most valuable?

We really enjoy table planning, documentation, instant Gantt charting, and collaboration. Emailing the board in updates is great. It offers helpful kanban views and multiple views in general. We can share it with clients as guests. 

What needs improvement?

Story mapping would be ideal. Being able to create topic threads, not as updates and instead similar to Basecamp (in that it becomes a forum) would be useful. 

Timetracking should be a little more powerful. A full harvest integration or something similar that allows time spent vs budget would be good. 

The solution should offer burndown charts.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is quite good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is excellent and very proactive. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used to use Jira and switched as it's horrendously overcomplicated, scaled terribly, and takes the hardest path to a simple outcome. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is easy. It's great to let the user demo it for free. 

What about the implementation team?

We did the setup in-house. It was not a great experience. I did it mostly myself. 

What was our ROI?

ROI is unmeasurable in context of the product, however, I feel very satisfied we get value from the Monday investment. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at Jira and Basecamp.

Easy to on-board new users, offers great templates, and has helpful visual representations of projects
Pros and Cons
  • "It's really easy to use."
  • "It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product to deal with micro-projects that are going through multiple stages, such as quoting products, ordering samples, designing, production and finally shipping. Having all these allows all members of our team to be aware of where we are right now. 

We use different boards too and I like that projects of different boards still can be connected. 

We basically use it as a to-do list as well for everything, even to purchase office supplies, which is great as we don't need to use multiple communication channels.  

How has it helped my organization?

It helped a lot to be honest. We now have a good visual representation of what we are doing. Before, our projects were piled and we could not really see the progress of each one, or at what stage we were at. However, when we started to use Monday, we sorted out all the mess and now the picture looks quite pretty. 

Having an opportunity to leave comments in the body of the project allows us to keep all information within one software, instead of sending endless emails and possibly missing some important details. 

What is most valuable?

I like that we can move projects from one stage to another, which also allows user to track the progress. It's really easy to use. When we have new people to on-board it does not take hours to train them on how to use this platform.

Another beneficial part is that we can use templates, which also make a user's life way easier. At the same time, for those who feel like templates are too boring, there is an option to customize the interface. Basically, every little need can be satisfied. moreover, it offers in-app automation. 

What needs improvement?

So far, I am happy, however, I know that Gantt charts and calendar views aren’t available on the entry-level plan - even if you’re paying $24 per month. To access time tracking and private boards, you’ll need to upgrade to the third tier. 

It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails. 

We are using a very simple project, therefore I can't see many drawbacks, however, it looks like if we were dealing with complicated projects, some things would possibly get lost. Therefore, having subtasks is a must; it has to be managed well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for around a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is fine.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is very good.

How are customer service and support?

I've never had an issue.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

When I joined, the team was already using Monday.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

I don't know if the company asked for help from outside vendors. 

What was our ROI?

I don't have ROI information.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I dont have any access to this information.
