monday.com Reviews

We use the solution for marketing and creative project management. 

As a marketing manager, we brief on tasks within Monday.com including all details of the project, such as vertical, status, delivery date, etc. Our traffic manager assigns tasks based on the studio team's availability and priority. 

Mainly, Monday.com is the main tool for our traffic manager to manage a variety of tasks between marketing managers and creatives. 

Once assigned, we can track who the assigned person is and then track the process. It is a very useful tool for tracking things. 

It made the collaboration between marketing and creative studio teams much neater and seamless. 

Previously, we've used normal Google Sheets. In the beginning, it was manageable. However, once our projects became bigger (alongside the employee count), it became hard to manage between lots of sheets. Then Monday.com came in and it's pretty much a super clear tool to streamline all project collaboration between marketing managers and studio. 

Also, as we can sync Monday.com with our Slack or an email, it's nice to get notifications on how our project is moving. 

I love how we can color coordinate between statuses and how statuses jump into their respective groups automatically once chosen. Although personally, I don't use it often, I like how managers can see the workloads of designers and editors in color coordination, and based on that they can let the marketing managers know who has the capacity or whether the team is full. It helps to be aware of incoming tasks. It also helps us to determine project prioritizing and planning ahead more efficiently. As a creative person, it's nice to see their timeline of jobs done as accomplishments. 

As a marketing manager, I'm happy with the current features that we're using now. Within our company, we use different software to proof tasks or amend them so it's no problem. We're using Monday.com more on a basic level of assigning and tracking tasks and probably are missing some of the nice features. However, it would be ideal if Monday.com had this feature within itself, for example, if an input PDF or image was within it, then with one click the person can review it within Monday.com without going to different software.

I've used the solution for about three years.

Previously I've used Trello for managing freelancers and internal tasks. Then our company adapted monday.com as an official studio management tool, hence I moved to the monday.com. It's definitely easier to use and manage both internal and external stakeholders. 

Monday.com was chosen by the upper management and we've gone with it. 

We love the product and its UX. 

My team uses it at work to organize deadlines and keep track of information. We are a remote organization.

Everyone can see what other team members are doing and quickly see the status of tasks. We can plan out specific steps in projects and put dates/timelines on them. 

The subitems! I like planning out steps within an item with dates. 

The solution needs easier automation. We had a problem where we maxed out the automation limit. We also struggle to figure out solutions to notify people when certain tasks are complete so the next person can start their work.

I've used the solution for three years.

We are a small team, however, we've been growing over the last three years that I've been using Monday.com. It becomes more helpful the more team members we have, however, it may work better for smaller groups of people within an organization (e.g. the marketing team).

I've never contacted technical support, however, I like the emails I get from Monday.com about new features.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

I wasn't involved in the initial setup process. 

I didn't handle the licensing part of the process.

I didn't make the decision - it was someone else at my company.

We use the product for marketing, ordering inventory, new product process tracking, scheduling, and website maintenance.

It has improved team collaboration. The notifications are great. Seeing the status of all our many projects has been helpful. It's easy to export into Excel.

The solution is great for notification on changes and updates and Excel exporting and we can easily build and customize new boards. It's sharable and overall beyond easy to use and understand. 

I would like to see an app version similar to Teams, or even have them integrate with Teams. I would also like to have more templates available to choose from on different projects. We need more integration with Office 365.  

I've used the solution for two years.

I am very pleased and impressed with the stability.

I am very pleased and impressed with scalability.

In every job, I have had interactions with customers and support, and understand how it is important to listen, empathize and work together to communicate, both in positive and negative situations.

Positive

This was new to me when I joined the company. I didn't use something else.

Yes, the setup was straightforward and simple.

Monday.com has helped track, organize and optimize our production, ordering, web design, marketing, and scheduling. I cannot even start to truly measure the ROI we have seen in the different aspects it has helped bring our team together, track all our main projects and keep our businesses running smoothly as we grow and expand.

I am unaware of the pricing aspect.

We're pleased with Monday.com.

It is used internally, as well with our vendors and product manufacturers all over the world. It has truly helped us in so many ways.

We are a small startup media company with a lot going on. As we grew, disorganization became a serious problem. I turned to Monday, which has allowed us to work and flow as a growing team. It has also provided a concrete organizational basis for how we run our day-to-day.

It’s all about organization and communication. Monday has a million different features, so we can organize how we want, not how we’re told to. This has led to more creative problem solving when it comes to growth and has greatly improved client rapport and retention. 

The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress. I also really enjoy the ability to tag coworkers in projects instead of emailing them or using Slack. Also, the shareable boards have been a game-changer with clients. The automations are fantastic for rewarding progress.

While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us. It’s hard to not know what the client sees and that makes us look a little unorganized. They can also be a little buggy sometimes.

I've used the solution for one year. 

The solution is very stable.

The product is very scalable.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

We handled the initial setup in-house.

Our ROI is high

The solution is somewhat expensive.

We did not evaluate other options.

We use Monday for project management across our marketing projects and for budget management for campaigns. We have a small team, so it's really important that we are as efficient as possible and there's just no bandwidth for micromanaging a process. We need it to run smoothly on its own.

For the most part, we collaborate on a process, put it in Monday with assignments, and then the project essentially runs itself as long as we are sticking to the timeline that we set the project up with. It saves us a lot of time.

Monday gives us more visibility into the overall bandwidth of our team and makes it much easier to collaborate across several projects without losing emails or random Slack messages across different channels or group chats. This has given us one central place for information related to our various projects so time spent searching for answers or managing project timelines is greatly decreased. It also lets us manage workload so we are able to advocate for enforcing priorities within the organization.

The "My Week" view and task list are probably the most helpful for us - it's really great to set a project schedule and assign people to tasks. That way, they can have a preview of their work for the week and stay accountable for deliverables with no surprises. 

It's also easy to adjust schedules right within that view and give updates to the broader team so everyone stays on the same page. 

The added accountability and efficiency allow us to spend time on doing the work rather than figuring out how to do the work

The addition of subtasks was really great. It helps reduce a lot of the clutter on our boards. However, sometimes it is inhibitive to use them as the features available using main tasks don't apply to subtasks. It would be really great if we could calculate some of the same things or use them in dashboards or the different views that are available. 

I know sometimes we can, however, it's not consistent so it's hard to know when we're limiting ourselves by using the subtasks instead of the main tasks in a group.

I've used the solution for three years.

We did not use a different solution previously.

There's a lot of value in using Monday. User adoption is key, however. You get out of it what you put into it. If you're using it for project management, it can easily fail if even one or two people aren't bought in.

We did not evaluate other options. 

I am a project manager in a leadership consulting organization. My role includes managing our leadership development programs and keeping all stakeholders looped in and appraised of my progress. It is a fast-paced environment and Monday.com helps me stay on track with all my projects and tasks. 

I use the software to manage long term and short term projects, track project expenses and keep my account manager informed of my progress. I also invite key stakeholders as guests to the project plans. Monday.com makes it easy for me to maintain visibility into my progress.

Monday.com has increased transparency and visibility and also helps me keep track of all my projects and stakeholders. 

When I have multiple projects that are long-term, Monday.com's automations help me remember when I have a task or item due. 

They have also helped me manage my stakeholders better. By inviting my stakeholders to my project plans, they are up to date on the progress. 

As a team, we use Monday.com to communicate, tag one another in updates, and ensure everyone is up to speed. We also use the software to track project expenses.

The automation has been helpful in allowing me to automate my projects. I also use the dashboard and Gantt views frequently to track data and to track my projects. 

I appreciate the chat function as well and use it to keep my project team members looped in to any project changes. 

I use the templates function to create standard templates for my project plans that I can easily duplicate and disperse organizationally. 

Another feature I have begun using is the forms linked to Monday.com. I appreciate that I can capture the data and it automatically links to a board.

I would love to be able to hide rows visibility. Currently, this is only available for columns. 

An additional feature I am interested in is the reporting on the forms. I'd like to see options for report templates based on the Monday.com forms. I occasionally use Monday.com to generate survey responses, and want a cleaner report template to share with them. 

Other than that, I don't have any other ideas of areas that Monday.com could improve. They do a wonderful job!

I've used the solution for 2.5 years.

I did not use a different solution.

I was not part of the selection process.

We use the solution for project management for upcoming large-scale events. We work with multiple departments on our events and to keep everyone on the same page using Monday.com.

It has been an efficient source for our team. We communicate with our graphics team the most through Monday with deadlines and approvals and edits. 

Monday.com keeps our entire team in check with deadlines and projects. We plan for multiple events at once so organization is key. This platform allows everyone on the team to be added to a board and also allows them to make their own board. 

The boards and the sub-boards are great. It helps our team divide up the important topics of each event logistics. A great feature is also being able to add viewers without the cost of a user, this allows other departments to view boards we create and share deadlines with people outside of our team or company. 

There have recently been a lot of lagging and loading delays with saving. This comes and goes, however, I have found it difficult to use when boards are unable to save when going back to update. 

Additional features that would be cool would be adding different formats for multiple workspaces on one board. Right now, each workspace has to have the same type of board set up and you're unable to have multiple types in one board. This becomes inconvenient sometimes because you like to keep everything under one topic type but with different layouts.

We've used the solution for two years.

We previously used Excel and email.

There are additional user fees.

We work in construction for an architectural firm. We do the design, and construction in an agile management system.

monday.com is easy to set up.

It is more user-friendly than others and it adapts well to different project delivery environments.

It really offers us all the tools that we need to cover the design and construction bases.

I have been working with monday.com for a month, but I also worked with it two years ago, for six or seven months for a specific project.

monday.com appears to be stable. To date, we have not had any issues.

monday.com is a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. I have reached out to the marketing team and researched on Youtube. I am really impressed.

I have worked with Asana, and have tested it on pretrials.

I have been working with Asana for three weeks. It was a bit more difficult for me to set up.

When I was trying to set it up, it was a bit more complicated, the screens were not as nice as the screens on Monday, and they are not as adaptable on monday.com. I put it aside.

In terms of pricing, Asana was the most expensive product of all.

Their free trial version doesn't give you many options, it does give you options, but not enough. There are just enough to get you interested. Once you decide on the options that you need, the price goes up quickly.

The initial setup was very easy.

I viewed some tutorials on YouTube and the tutorials were very easy to find and well done.

I am recommending it to my owners because it was really easy to setup.

In terms of pricing, it is not the cheapest.

They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference.

Fees are paid monthly per user.

I would rate monday.com a nine out of ten.
