What is our primary use case?
We use Monday.com as a communications solution for our different teams to effectively have individual ownership of completing assigned weekly, monthly, and quarterly tasks and projects.
Our teams using Monday.com consists of the following: sales, management, operations/administrative, production, and more.
I have a shared workspace with my co-music director, assistant music director, and SDR, (we'll be onboarding another SDR and assistant music director soon) where we convene weekly via meetings, take notes, then post our weekly directives with deadlines in our main workspace.
How has it helped my organization?
The tiered top-down organization of teams > groups > projects > individually assigned tasks and accountability is remarkable.
Tagging people is super easy with "pulses" that can show up in an inbox, as a direct email, as notifications on desktops and devices, of which I use multiple devices and it's great on all of them. The interaction between different company departments is seamless and our departments contribute information to each other on a minute-by-minute and hourly basis.
The software is designed in such a way that any company can form fit it to handle complex workflow.
What is most valuable?
I love that Monday.com has boards that can change with a click from a list, to a calendar, to a form that you can send and collect data, etc.
Each board is malleable even if you've been using it for a long time. Redesigning and keeping your data is pretty easy. The output of information to spreadsheets is quite simple.
There are so many other features that I haven't even tapped into, however, I sometimes look for features and there is always some kind of plug-in that Monday.com has at the ready. There are so many support options to make sure your workspace is precisely what you need to have to improve your own job's efficiency.
What needs improvement?
I'm very satisfied and don't have much to say regarding immediate improvement feedback. If it doesn't exist, perhaps there could be a simplified view of all personal tasks that haven't yet been completed.
"My Work" is a board that is supposed to take care of this. I find that I sometimes have used the "status" column has input values other than done, working on it, etc., which conflicts with this bigger picture, and over the years is building up in a way that looks daunting as I'm not sure how to go back and mark it another way, so I skip it. This could be my own user malfunction.
Generally, I'm quite happy with the software.

For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using monday.com since June of 2020. I love it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Monday.com seems quite stable. From June of 2020 until today, 4/20/22, I have only experienced the software being "down" maybe two times for development. It seems very stable to me even as we feed it a lot of info.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is huge. We started small and have grown to well-designed boards. We've grown to seven workspaces that I know about. Each workspace has pretty deep departmental personalities.
How are customer service and support?
I feel that customer service has probably been pretty strong. I have never heard any grumbling from our team members regarding the usability of Monday.com or challenges in figuring out how to use it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We mostly used Google Docs in the past for company organizing. We still do, however, we switched to Monday.com as it is way more comprehensive for project management.
How was the initial setup?
The initial set up was slightly clumsy for us, however, those growing pains faded pretty quickly once the software became familiar.
We have many team members who are adept at setting up boards and groups efficiently now.
The initial complexity was simply getting familiar with the depth of the software, however, it was pretty intuitive and set up well to self-educate (including "help" and online tutorials, etc.).
What about the implementation team?
I don't know if we had outside assistance or not.
What was our ROI?
I don't know the price, however, we use this software every day constantly, so the return is certainly worth it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm only a user of the software; I'm not privy to the costs and licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I didn't choose Monday.com. I do not know if other options were in the running.
What other advice do I have?
I received an email tonight from a person at another company who noticed that we shared a Monday.com query form to complete. She reached out to me directly via email to ask how I like Monday.com. I gave a great review to her and told her to reach out if she has questions.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
