monday.com Reviews

We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering.

monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues.

The need for a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down. 

Additionally, the synchronization feature is not functioning optimally.

I have been using monday.com for two years.

There are issues with stability, such as network and performance slowdowns.

We only use it within our department, comprising 50 to 70 people. We are uncertain about its scalability in other departments.

I've never contacted customer support for monday.com as I am not responsible for managing the tool.

Neutral

The initial setup was easy. I would rate it an eight out of ten for ease of setup.

We are considering building a custom tool in our company rather than using another commercial tool.

There must be other tools more useful than monday.com, but so far, it's good for our needs. I would recommend it for normal company users with standard project management requirements.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use the solution for various purposes, including demand management, project management, logging pre-sales activities, and planning. It helps us keep track of customer budgets, leads, and other important information related to demand and project management.

The tool's most valuable feature is its intuitive interface, which allows project managers to create comprehensive project roadmaps. This interface lets us list tasks and allocate them to team members, tracking who works on which task and when. We utilize it for project management from the initial phase.

The solution is flexible. The grid-based interface allows for customization, so I can focus only on what's relevant. This flexibility and dynamic sorting among the columns are strong features. Another valuable aspect is the board feature, which allows for much customization. You can organize your work, weeks, or schedule according to your preferences.

monday.com's dashboard feature helps boost my team's productivity. I've found the Azure DevOps integration to be the most beneficial. I believe there are third-party extensions available on the marketplace that fill the integration gap. It seems that monday.com is working with vendors in the market to make more of these integrations available.

It's a great tool. It allows me to manage many things in one place, both my tasks and day-to-day interactions within the team. I think the whole team resonates with it. 

I believe the reporting functionality could be improved on monday.com. While some reports are accessible, this area has room for enhancement. For example, including a Gantt chart in project planning would be valuable. This addition could make monday.com more competitive with tools like Microsoft Project. Overall, I think there's potential for improvement in the graphical interfaces and reports provided by monday.com.

I have been working with the product for one and a half years. 

We haven't experienced any lag so far. We use monday.com for cross-team collaboration. I can attach files and it works like a charm. The cloud version is very responsive for us, which is great. I rate its stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has 400 users who spend at least an hour daily using it. 

We switched from Jira because monday.com offers a much more intuitive interface. It's more stable and has a simpler learning curve. Additionally, the interface is more visually appealing and easier to navigate than Jira, which we found to be more complex.

I rate the tool's deployment ease as seven out of ten. I found the installation process to be straightforward. Setting up multifactor authentication may take some time for those who are not tech-savvy. 

Within a week of management making the decision. It was up and running quickly, taking only a few hours or days for setup. Overall, I would classify the deployment process as simple.

We can see ROI due to the solution's ease of use and improved management capabilities it offers. It has certainly alleviated a lot of pain points for us in management.

I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. 

I rate the tool a seven out of ten. My advice would be to explore the capabilities that it provides. Many people overlook some of its features. For instance, check out the options available in the marketplace. There might be integrations or extensions that monday.com doesn't offer out of the box, but third-party extensions can fill those gaps. Also, take a close look at the features within monday.com. Consider what you need to customize versus what it offers out of the box.

I run a coaching and training department that requires me to manage a large team of full-time, part-time and seasonal team members. Our projects vary from month to month and require quite a bit of cross-functional communication and high levels of collaboration. Some projects also require the assistance of strategic partners who were added as guests. All in all, we primarily used this software for Project management because it allowed me to monitor the progress of my team, allowed us to manage hybrid programs and operations (and transition seamlessly), and communicate 24/7. 

When you first get in, the set-up and overall functionality were easy to use. Not to mention I appreciated all of the many integrations. It made it so easy to build systems and processes for my team. 

We’ve also had quite a bit of turnover in staff, so it was super great when it came to transitioning new employees in and old employees out. My multi-generational team loved it. It was also pivotal in teaching my collegiate interns how to manage their time and break down their projects into smaller tasks.  

The templates were always the best part as not starting from scratch made the process so much easier.

The various display options and formats were great -especially when you have a large team with varying needs. They appreciated the tutorials and how-tos available with each board as well. 

As someone who has to manage their team’s as well as my own projects and tasks - it made it easier to see everyone and everything from a bird’s eye view. I also really appreciated the daily reminders, progress updates, and little (but impactful) notes of encouragement. 

I wish I understood and had taken advantage of the automation more. it was kind of hard to figure out.

While I appreciate the templates, some of them are extremely complex and not as tailored to non-profit work so they required quite a bit of customizing (but worth the trouble).  

The email log-in sensitivity would be a challenge and would lead to guests being added as members and the account getting overcharged frequently. 

I also wish the software was more affordable as I would love to use it for my small business as well. 

I've been using the solution for two years.

If you had a variety of pricing options I can see this going far.

It is definitely possible to scale. 

We have never had to use technical support, however, the tutorials were great.

Positive

We used Microsoft Teams and were unable to customize it the same way. 

It is very easy to use if you follow the promptings and watch the videos.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

The ROI is very high.

The budget is quite pricey. If you can afford it, it’s worth it. 

We looked at Trello and Airtable.

I use this solution for project management and events planning. I manage a school (kids from three years to 17 years old). In my school there are more than 1200 students and 80 teachers, so it has been hard to organize them all. We use the Google Suite, however, we needed a tool to manage the projects and plan the events.

We also use it to organize the documentation we need to have to achieve our quality standards. As we can have a clear view of what we have and what we do not; we realize in what areas we have to work harder.

It has helped me to organize the important things, projects, and events in a better way. We have bought ten accounts for the managers, so we are connected and working on the projects. We would like to integrate all of our collaborators but it is expensive. 

Since we started to use Monday, we have been able to have a clear view of how organized we are, we have created a board for the important things that the school has to do. We assign responsibilities for each activity and they receive an email about it, it is awesome. 

The most valuable tools I have found on Monday.com are the calendar, automatization, and the capabilities to link apps like Google Forms. We have been able to integrate our Google Suite to Monday. 

It is also good to receive reminders about projects and deadlines. Besides that, it has been not hard to learn how to use it. I really love the integrations, we use Integromat to link our Google Forms to Monday. 

It is also a great app for desktops and cellphones. 

I have found many good options to organize my time, my projects, and my events.

It should be cheaper. 

It should have more options to create panels.

It should also have options to share the boards or some info directly to Gmail. 

In premium accounts, the amount of transactions allowed is so low. We have not been able to integrate more apps due to this limitation. 

There is not enough information in Spanish. Most of my users do not speak English. It has been hard to learn to use all the functions.

I would also want some plans with fewer permissions. Maybe they could have access to just one board so that accounts could be cheaper. We have 80 teachers and we need that they are enrolled in just one board. We do not want to pay just for one board. 

I've used the solution for two years. 

We have not had problems with the solution. There have just been some crashes on my iPad.

I really like that we can grow as much as we want. The only bad thing is the price.

It has been good. I have written two times and I have received good and quick answers.

Positive

I did not use a different solution. We use the Google Suite, however, it is not the same. It does not have a management tool.

There is not enough information in Spanish; the tutorial videos were not so clear, however, it is easy to use it.

I implemented the product by myself.

The ROI of using this app has been 4 to 1 as we have optimized our work.

I always say it is expensive, yet it is worth it, especially if you run a company with many projects and events.

We evaluated Asana, however, we did not like it at all. We also tried ToDo app, however, it was not enough.

There should be cheaper plans with fewer options and maybe with access to one board or something like that.

We use Monday.com to manage all of our design and marketing departments. It helps us track all the projects in the pipeline, who is the lead of the project, and who is the designer. This makes it easy for our marketing strategists, who are in charge of the designers, to see which projects each of the designers are working on and be able to assign tasks easier. 

We do a lot of events organizing on Monday.com too. This is why we like to have specifically different boards for our tasks that aren't the same as our everyday boards. 

We love that we can track all past projects that we've done, and segment them based on who worked on the project. We work with a lot of clients that need a breakdown of everything that we've implemented each quarter for them. Being able to export a PDF based on the tags on each task has made it a breeze for us to stay organized and know exactly what we've done for each of our clients. We have 200+ clients, so sometimes it can be chaotic, however, Monday.com makes that aspect so much easier for us. 

Adding subitems to each task has made multi-dimensional projects easier to manage. We have a lot of projects for the events and tradeshows that we host, and sometimes we need to break down a simple project into multiple steps and assign each subitem to a different person. 

We also love that we can keep track of the status of the project and assign deadlines, as well as have tabs on where the project is in the process. 

Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity.  

We'd really like to have the ability to have different types of boards within a board. Sometimes we don't need the same columns for every task and we'd like to customize each task board within the motherboard. We use to have tasks with different columns and information rather than it having to be the same for every task board within the main board. This would make it so much easier for us when it comes to special projects that have varying needs and not every column will fit into the same board. 

I've used the solution for about one year now, however, my team has been using it for more than two years. 

The stability is great. 

The scalability is great. 

I personally have not had any experience with customer support, however, technical issues are usually fixed very quickly. 

Positive

We used to use multiple different programs, including Teams, however, it didnt have as much functionality that we need. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and super easy to navigate. 

We handled the setup in-house. 

It's definitely worth the cost when you are using it for work or for a team of employees that you need to manage. 

We evaluated Microsoft Teams, Asana, etc. 

The primary use case for the solution is to plan our projects and to put pipelines in place for all the project participants to make sure that everyone is within the plan and making great contributions to the project. 

We start our plan using the Agile approach to set our goals and tasks with the plan that already includes some phases and steps to make sure that the goal is achieved successfully and within the planned timeline.

The user interface of Monday.com is very friendly and easy to use. It's simple to assign tasks to my colleagues.

Monday.com improves our work within the organization by automating our work and making it friendly and easy to use in order to achieve our goals.

We have integration with third-party applications and can send notifications through email to the participants - making the application very interactive and keeping the project members up to date with the latest on the project and the plan.

Monday.com saves time by automating the work through the pipelines. The features are drag and drop. You can see the status for each task easily.

The most valuable features that I loved with Monday.com are:

• Notifications
• Task status and project status
• Monday.com colors are friendly to the eye
• I can task assign to my colleagues
• The screen size works with others and there is easy sharing of images and documents
• Automation and set up of automation is done in seconds and leaves your routine tasks in the dust
• Integration with other applications such as MS Outlook.com, MS Excel, Slack, Google Drive, LinkedIn.com, Dropbox, and One Drive is great
• Monday workdocs for workflows are helpful

There is nothing to dislike about Monday.com. 

There are some new features they need to improve within the application. For example, it would be awesome if we had some themes for each project and for each user.

If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great.

It would be nice to make a plan according to the historical data that Monday.com has already stored that's related to the user and the company.

I've used the solution for more than two years.

The stability is awesome.

The scalability is fantastic.

Technical support is professional.

Positive

I didn't use a different solution previously.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did the setup through a vendor team.

We saw an ROI within three months.

Monday.com is the best solution with a great price.

I didn't evaluate other options previously.

We are a marketing and branding agency. We are in consistent communication with our clients and have multiple projects and clients to manage daily. 

Monday helps keep us on track, prioritize, and communicate within our team as well as with our clients. 

We manage creative projects of various sizes; with projects from social media graphics, all the way to the complete rebranding of an organization. 

With Monday, it has helped us to stay organized as well as allow the clients to see where we are on a particular project. 

Monday has been a huge help to the team through personal organization and measuring team success. 

It keeps everyone on the same page and gives us a way to streamline our projects and client communication. Not only does it allow our team to keep track of where we are and due dates, but it also allows our clients to view our progress and how we are doing on the timeline. 

It is a huge help to see our team and daily progress and have comments available directly on a project. We use it to keep track of projects, timelines, and personal tasks. 

The most valuable features have to be the ability to create separate boards, both for external and internal communication. Having the ability to add tasks and reminders to our individual board as well as the team board helps keep communication in one place. 

A feature that we utilize daily is the form option (and the link) that we can send to clients. Instead of receiving requests via email, this helps us to keep all client requests prioritized and organized by date as well as the client. This not only helps our team by getting the information we need rather than going back and forth through email but helps the client have one place to put all their requests. 

It would be great to have more options on the form for external use, and an easier exporting option for client answers (rather than copying and pasting from each section). For example, right now we are limited in the questions we can ask our clients when they fill out a form. They are also limited with the lines and spacing. So allowing us to customize this to our needs would be helpful. It would be helpful to also have a calendar section with different options to select per board, etc, where it could lay out what the calendar looks like for the month or week based on the due dates. 

I've used the solution for over one year.

We have had little to no issues. It's very stable. 

This platform could work for larger teams as well as smaller startups. 

The solution offers great support and service.

Positive

We used Slack as well as Asana. Monday helps us to both communicate and keep track of tasks in a more streamlined way. 

It was a straightforward setup for the most marketed tools (organization, boards, teams). However, finding forms and plugins was more difficult. 

We handled the setup via an in-house team. 

We've had an incredible return on investment. It is very affordable and user-friendly. 

Monday is 100% worth it!

Monday was always on our radar. We did look into Notion, however, Monday works best for us.

We have had a great experience with Monday. 

We started by looking for a task tracking tool - something other than Microsoft or Google. Since then, we have expanded our usage to include vacation tracking, project tracking and management, lead tracking, sales funnel tracking, vacation tracking, hourly reporting and approvals, applicant tracking, and onboarding. 

Basically, we attempt to use Monday.com for any task we can think of that will simplify our day to day communications and operations management. The tool provides great flexibility for that.

Before Monday.com, we struggled to keep track of who was doing what and by when. We had multiple spreadsheets, some that we shared via email, some in Google drive. It was chaos. Dates were missed and we didn't have a clear picture of who was assigned to what, nor did we have the ability to accurately hold each other accountable for what we were working on. This was clearly not a good situation for a startup.  

Since implementing Monday.com, we are more organized, tasks are getting done, and no one can claim, "I didn't know what I had to do."

In order of impact/importance, the three key figures for us are automation, templates, and role assignments.  

The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails. We use this on virtually every board in the system even if it is just to send a completed item to the archive.  

The templates are expansive (and growing), detailed, and battle-tested.  We can often slot something in with little or no modification.  

Finally, the ability to easily and quickly assign someone to something is a tremendous time-saver.

There is very little to improve with Monday.com.  

Occasionally, it takes some time to get a response from customer success, though they are always helpful. The help system is very extensive, allowing us to resolve most of our questions on our own.  

There are no features that come to mind to be added. They are so far ahead on the product roadmap; we're continually playing catch-up via the monthly webinars to be sure we're taking advantage of the new features they have been dreaming up. It's a great plus for how they handle enhancements.

I've used the solution for two years.

Occasionally (maybe once or twice a month), we'll get an error message, usually cleared up by redoing the activity (therefore it may be just a network issue). The system itself has never been down for us.

The solution scales to whatever we need. At some point, we might need an administrator.

Early on, it was fantastic and nearly in real time. Since then, there have been times when we had to wait a day or more for a response. We haven't had to use it in the past several months as we have become more self-supporting.

We previously used Excel, Google, and Outlook Tasks. They were not automated or universally visible to us. That's why we went looking for a solution.

The setup is simple. You just log in and go.

We did the setup in-house. One person learned the system and then trained everyone else.

We didn't calculate ROI, however, it has saved us hours of time and many dollars that would have been spent on point solutions.

There is virtually no setup cost other than the time it takes to learn the system and set up boards/automation.  

The pricing is a bit steep, and it's built on tiers rather than incremental users (not ideal for a small company that's adding people slowly).

We looked into Excel, Google, Outlook Tasks, Basecamp, and a couple of others in the project management space.

The sky is the limit. How big is your imagination? You can build it on Monday.com.
