We have a wide range of services that we provide from the reports that we write, Podcasts that we do, and webinars.
We categorize each deliverable by categories, such as a research report or an infographic, or a video, or a podcast. We create a series of steps or deliverables, and we assign people to tasks within each project.
It's very granular. The good thing is that we had a lot of steps in the budget process, and in the development process. It allows you to be granular, and send each step.
They just did a reorganization of the solution. Before if you had one topic, you had to put everything you do under that topic, or under that umbrella. Now you can break things up by task. For instance, we were doing research summaries or infographics. Before, they were combined under one umbrella, and now, if you want to look them up individually, you can do that. It has been better since then.
It's not that great. It clutters your mailbox. Every time something becomes due and every time you have something due, you get an email. If you are working on several projects, you could get several reminders. For example, just today I was inundated with 15 emails reminding me, of different projects.
It's not necessarily things that are due right that minute, or you're not otherwise aware of.
While it keeps you organized, and you always have a place to look at, you can be overwhelmed. There is no way to disconnect yourself. It just appears automatically. If you have subscribed to something, you will be inundated with messages.
It's still fairly manual. If for example, I wanted to make a change such as a date, there are 10 steps to process, and if I change one, they all have to change but there is no way of doing that automatically.
We have to go and individually update each one. What would be nice is if I had two days between deadlines and adjusted the day if it would automatically adjust the deadlines, even if I had to change one or two that might no longer work, it would save a lot of steps. But, for example, there are at least 20 steps involved in producing a research summary for our research firm. If I change one step at one deadline at the start, I have to go through 19 steps and change the date manually for each one.
I have been working with monday.com for a little over a year.
We just updated to the latest version.
We are a fairly small firm and we use several different programs for project management, communication, and conferencing.
The price is reasonable for the number of users we have.
I would rate monday.com a seven out of ten.
