We primarily use the solution for project management. We use it as a system for our project managers and for our customers. They submit tickets, activities, and items that we have on the schedule.

Nicely streamlined with good features and an easy setup
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is more of a streamlined Slack."
- "The solution has dashboards, however, you have a limited amount. You may only get ten when you need closer to 30. We often need to create many boards. For example, we might need one board per customer. If we have more than ten customers, we run out of boards available. I'm not sure if you can pay more in order to get more or if it's just a design limitation. It's unclear. In any case, they should be more generous."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The solution is more of a streamlined Slack.
The solution has a lot of essential features, I would say.
We need to make a lot of reports and this solution allows us to do this easily.
What needs improvement?
It's hard to say if there are any features missing from the solution, as it already offers more than the others. In my experience, I would say it would be better if it could have a better user experience. It's a bit laggy and it's not immediately responsive. It would be great if they could improve a bit on the performance. Sometimes it takes a little while to upload items. You can have a lot of bugs.

monday.com has a feature called notifications. Every time somebody updates one tag, your foreign tag appears as a notification. I wrote to them about having those notifications as a dashboard, so you are not having to go to the notifications center to look at all of the notifications.
Their dark mode is blue. It sometimes feels a little bit overwhelming with so much color in it, however, the light one is super bright. If I could pick one other thing to fix, I would tell them to adjust their dark mode to a bit of gray and not make it so blue.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about eight months to one year. It hasn't been too long. We use the solution every day at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability has been good. We haven't really had any issues in that respect.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We haven't really tried to scale anything. Right now, we just have eight users on the product. We haven't really had the possibility of scaling in mind just yet. We're a small department.
How are customer service and support?
In terms of technical support, I would rate them at eight out of ten. They are good for the most part. However, sometimes they don't address your issues with the ticket. It feels like it's more general in terms of the assistance you get. They respond fast enough. They just need to personalize their answers a bit more and make sure their answers actually address the issues being presented.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We just started using the product. We haven't used it before that, however, we have used other kinds of software before. This one was more complete and ready which is why we implemented it.
How was the initial setup?
The product is very easy to set up. The solution is right on their website and therefore you don't have to install anything. In terms of deploying it, they said it would be like no more than one hour, however, after signing up, we spent one week designing how we were going to use it. It was like more of the designing process that took us a bit longer than expected.
What other advice do I have?
We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with monday.com.
I believe we are using the enterprise version of the solution. It may be one or two levels above the standard solution.
The best advice I can give to others considering the solution is to really think about the structure early on. The solution really has a lot of tools and it's really easy to implement it. That said, you can end up having many ways to organize your projects. Therefore, the best advice is to have a real plan and structure before you're starting using it, otherwise, you may end up all over the place.
Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. If it didn't have dashboard limitations, I would give it a perfect mark.
