monday.com Reviews

I'm a part of our talent team, so we utilize Monday.com for scheduling candidate interviews, housing important information around our best practices, as well as housing data and metrics. 

We have also used it for process documentation, organizational documentation, and collaboration. 

We have utilized the forms feature for being able to collect information from team members, candidates, etc. We are a team of about 15, and it's been really nice being able to have one centralized area for us to work from.

Monday.com has provided a centralized and easy-to-use area for my team to store all of our information and collaborate together. It's much easier than having to use multiple platforms. We really appreciate the customizable nature of dashboards, and it's really been a game-changer when it does come to housing documentation on our team. 

Previously, we only used Google Drive, however, it was somewhat limiting since we really only used Google Docs. With Monday.com, we're able to have information stored in different formats, which is also helpful for different learning styles on our team.

My team has found the dashboards, subitems, assigning team members, and documents to be most valuable for what we do. 

We don't tend to use the templates that are included in Monday.com, however, it's really nice to have flexibility over how we house our information and are able to use the platform. 

The one piece that has been extremely useful is the form feature. My team has been able to use that to get candidate information and schedule interviews without as much of the back and forth through emails.

I honestly can't think of much off the top of my head—Monday.com has pretty much everything that my team would need to use on a day-to-day basis. Something that might be interesting to see in the future is having sub-items within sub-items so our team can be more granular with things. 

It would be nice to have more customization around the documents, such as different title headings, fonts, etc. Just having more we can do with creating documents so we don't have to switch between Monday.com and Google Docs would be great.

My team has been using Monday.com for over a year now.

We did not use a different solution.

It's worth the cost and it's honestly pretty user-friendly and easy to learn.

We did not evaluate other options.

We use the solution to manage, oversee, and collate various projects within the telecom, security and IT sectors. The projects are of a great variety and contain many stages. I assign and delegate tasks to all project stakeholders inclusive of deadline dates. When managing multiple projects of no less than 15 at any one time, this software is great to get an overview of where you are and what deadlines are upcoming. With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, this saves valuable time when preparing for project meetings

With setting up different users and tasks for each project stakeholder, when managing multiple projects the work overview board creates a clear list of what tasks are required from each stakeholder and when they are needed by. This is not only on the actual date. It is for future dates ahead as well. 

Since bringing in Monday.com and using this for all projects, all stakeholders know their roles and responsibilities - meaning that projects now run in a timely manner and are very rarely overrun. 

When working away from the office, the speech bubble for updates makes it easier to receive updates rather than via email. 

The fact we are able to set automatic deadline reminders means that we will never forget a task that could delay the project and break various project tolerances.

With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, valuable time is saved when preparing for project meetings.

Extracting individual work boards to send to each client to give them an overview and update of the status of their project saves valuable time creating individual RAID Logs.

It's vital when you are managing multiple different projects at any one time. 

I would like to see Monday.com create a Work Package Template which could be created and adjusted as per each project but could also be amended via an app on site should this be required. 

In addition, it would be good to have a signature field that clients could either sign via the app or email. This could be then utilized to sign off any jobs or acceptance once the project has been completed. 

We'd like software for all elements of project management including sign-off in one central place without the need for an additional subscription - that would be perfect. 

I've used the solution for three years.

There have been a few outages, however, it is quickly fixed.

Adding a signature field would fulfill my needs in terms of scale.

The product offers excellent customer service.

Positive

We did not use a different solution.

The initial setup is very easy.

I created and installed the solution myself.

The solution is expensive yet worth it. 

We did look at Smartsheet as well.

We primarily use the product for:

• To-do lists
• Project management
• After-sales management

We use less paper thanks to this product.

The automation capabilities are great.

It allows us to build workflows between departments.

The mirrored columns are not real columns and cannot be used as variables for notifies or other formulas.

We need fewer system outages.

We would like to be able to open Monday from a link directly in the open browser window without opening a new window - which takes too much time.

The speed of the loading process should be better.

I've used the solution for three years.

The solution has recently been unstable.

The large list loading time could be improved.

I have no such experience with technical support.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

The initial setup was done by myself.

We had some help from our vendor, however, that was single questions and not a set-up training.

I've never calculated ROI since the alternative was a paper solution which we wanted to avoid at all costs.

There is no cost per single user since licensing comes in various ranges of users.

Make sure your user numbers match the range, otherwise you will end up paying too much.

We also evaluated Trello.

We use the solution mainly for project management. We use it as a system for our project managers and for our customers. This gives us, on the one hand, an overview on a high level across all projects, and, on the other hand, a detailed view of the specific project. 

As a result, each role in the team has an instant view of what's going on and what individual tasks are required. Thus, nothing is forgotten anymore and double work has been drastically reduced. The number of emails has also been reduced.

With Monday.com, in the area of project management, we have a daily updated overview of current and upcoming projects. Each individual can make their own focused contribution through the assignments and interaction options, such as commenting and tagging.

The direct involvement of the customer in ongoing project management is also possible. This can make communication more targeted and can speed up approval procedures. For this purpose, a sufficient guest function with permission setup is offered by Monday.com in some plans.

A maximum of insights can be generated from a single data set with the help of different views and connections to other data sets. The handling and administration of Monday.com are manageable even for beginners. The numerous different views and filters cover the typical use cases in the project management area. In combination with the dashboard, reporting to internal and external stakeholders is ensured. Other tools can also be integrated via the API, making Monday.com a core enterprise tool.

An important point of improvement is the subitems. These are essential in everyday project work and not every comparable tool has this function. However, the functions of the subitems are not yet developed enough. For example, they are not fully compatible with all automation. They are also still limited in the area of dashboards. However, further functions will likely be added here successively through regular updates.

The export options are also not yet flexible and comprehensive enough. Although some things have been done here, all too often you have to rework things after the export.

We have been using Monday.com for about two years.

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.

monday.com is a project management tool. 

Within our organization, there are 20 to 25 employees using this solution.

In our firm, different people have different roles, and sometimes we need to communicate. Some people are remote workers — some people are probably in Toronto, and other team members are in Vancouver. We use this tool to communicate. Our boss can follow a project and see how far along it is. He can talk to specific people if something is not going very well. 

We don't have to deal with maintenance as monday.com is on the cloud. 

The value is that monday.com provides us with an overall picture of how much work a teammate has, and for each team member, and how they're doing. I don't think it's an excellent tool to monitor how the team members are progressing, but it's a tool that can be used.

Sometimes allocating between team members via the communication tool can be difficult. If one team member is responsible for two or three things at the same time, from the dashboard, the boss can only see one. This could be related to a configuration issue, I am not sure. We tried to solve it, but we haven't succeeded. Whenever one person is in charge of two jobs at the same time for the same project, our boss has to ask again, and again.

I have been using monday.com for two years. 

I think it's quite stable. It has only crashed one or two times — that's it. 

Scalability-wise, I think it's good. Every time our team is all on monday.com, I don't see any kind of problems with the server being overloaded or anything like that. It's been working very well over the past two years.

I think the technical support is okay. I've only had to talk to them once because my account froze. I contacted them and it was solved very quickly.

We used the trial version — probably just for two weeks. My boss didn't like it so we switched to the premium version of monday.com.

I was not involved in the initial setup. I am just an everyday user. 

I wasn't involved with the licensing, but I believe it's negotiable. 

If you're looking for a tool to manage simple projects, then this is a tool that can be used. Still, don't expect too much from the tool. I think the communication part is the most important part.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give monday.com a rating of seven.

We use the solution for our hiring tracker.

It helped us automate our hiring/onboarding process.

We like the traffic light system, the auto-notifications, the search function, and the filtering functionality.  

It would be great to be able to pull an activity report.

I've used the solution for one year.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

I haven't had to use technical support yet.

Positive

We primarily used Excel spreadsheets which offered less automation. 

The initial setup was simple and easy to use with clear instructions.

We handled the implementation in-house.

I don't know if we have seen any ROI.

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.
