Great categorization, provides clear overviews, and integrates into other solutions
Pros and Cons
  • "We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing."
  • "The most valuable feature of Monday is that we have a clear overview of what is actually going on in our company."
  • "Monday could be improved if it could be linked with Google Calendar."
  • "Monday can get expensive if you want to add a lot of members to it."

What is our primary use case?

I own a 3D design studio in Belgium and work with several clients in Belgium and the Netherlands. My team consists of 12 3D artists and three project managers. 

We work on up to 30 projects at the same time which means keeping track of each and every project can be difficult and get very messy sometimes. That's why we use a tool like Monday to keep a good overview of each project and in which phase each project is. 

We track the next deadline, the amount of previews that our client has already gotten, extra notes, etc. Basically, it helps us to be organized and never have a project fall out of sight.

How has it helped my organization?

Monday has given us a clear overview of all our projects as well as all our tasks.

We write down to-do lists for the other managers so they know what's a high priority and a less high priority. We can also see which task has been done which is super handy.

We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing. Is the project ready or still in review. Now I can just look on Monday and see what is going on internally. We save a lot of time with this.

We also have integrated Monday into many other systems like Airtable and Stacker and built a whole system around it to make our lives so much easier.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Monday is that we have a clear overview of what is actually going on in our company.

I can see in which phase a project is and what the next deadline is as well as if the project is on hold or almost done. 

Each project is categorized between the different 3D renders that get ordered and we can keep track of each individual render step-by-step. 

When I am away my other colleagues can check the Monday board and find the status of each project that I have been working on. The note option makes it very convenient to leave little remarks for my colleagues as well.

What needs improvement?

Monday could be improved if it could be linked with Google Calendar. This way, I can add deadlines directly on Monday for my whole 3D team and they can automatically see it in their Google calendars or the general calendar when their next deadline is going to be and for which project. Now we fill it in separately and it could save us a bit of time.

We also use Clockify to track the time spent on each render. Maybe it would be handy to have some type of clock or icon that shows how much time is left within the budget that the specific project got sold for.

902,588 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for 1.5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, we had not had any incidents with Monday.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have an automation in place that allows us to easily duplicate setups.

A standard workflow is pre-made and it saves us a lot of time when starting up a new project.

We set up our project in Airtable and all the data gets processed on Monday automatically.

How are customer service and support?

Customer service replies fast and has helped me many times.

I can't say anything bad about it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not use another solution.

How was the initial setup?

Standard templates were not suitable for our company after a while.

We, therefore, built a whole automated system with a professional which is quite complex to do ourselves.

What about the implementation team?

We did not have any outside help. 

What was our ROI?

There is no way of directly measuring an ROI, however, it's my understanding it saves us a couple hours per week.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Monday can get expensive if you want to add a lot of members to it. Only members can change things on the board. Click-up is free, however, Monday is just much easier to work with so that's why we went with Monday.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also looked into TrelloAsana, and Click-up.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Great alerts, very colorful, and helps track client progress
Pros and Cons
  • "I love being able to set up alerts."
  • "Monday.com keeps our communication so simple."
  • "It would be helpful if I could integrate Google Docs with Monday somehow."

What is our primary use case?

I am a solo-preneur. I coach moms with spirited children so they can yell less and have more fun with their families. I offer my clients several ways to work with me and so I needed a simple way to manage my many clients and the various packages they have with me. I also have several different kinds of clients and Monday.com allows me to differentiate my clients all on the same page. Monday.com also allows me to set up reminders so I can always serve my clients in a timely manner as well as keep them on track for success. 

How has it helped my organization?

First, it's attractive and colorful. I really love the way it looks as it keeps me feeling positive. Monday allows me to track client progress and projects with my VA. My VA can log in and see where a client is in the process of their package with just a glance so my VA and I are always on the same page. I can also communicate with my assistant through Monday.com so there's much less back and forth on email and text. Monday.com keeps our communication so simple. I've tried other programs in the past, however, they were too much or not flexible enough. Monday is perfect for my small biz.

What is most valuable?

I love being able to set up alerts. My assistant and I no longer "forget" to send a testimonial request. It also allows me to allow clients to pause their coaching package due to vacation, for example, and it reminds me to resume scheduling my clients. My VA and I are always on the same page and use Monday.com every Monday (not kidding) when we have our weekly meetings. We literally go through the client boards and get caught up on where each client is in their progress through their packages. We frequently post updates. 

What needs improvement?

It would be helpful if I could integrate Google Docs with Monday somehow. I keep spreadsheets in Google Docs to track my income and keep track of my sales goals. I have not figured out yet how to do that on Monday.com 

I also would love to be able to export Monday boards to Google docs somehow. I plan on expanding my business to teach other parenting coaches to run a successful business and I know I'll recommend Monday. Perhaps I should take some online Monday.com classes so I can learn more about the features I am not using?

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm confident I will grow to use more of Monday.com's features.

How are customer service and support?

I don't think I've used technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've tried Slack and it was too much. I tried Asana a long time ago, but again, it was too much. Monday.com is perfect for me as I get to use it for my small business.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is simple. I just started using the boards available and ended up making my own

What about the implementation team?

I did not implement it through a vendor.

What was our ROI?

The time I spend on Monday saves me time as I'm not shuffling papers. I don't have a direct ROI link to income.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Don't be afraid to invest in the yearly cost of a CRM.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I looked at AirTable and Trello (which is very popular with coaches).

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Great management with helpful Gantt views and useful subtask functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "Being able to see everything at a glance and check task status, is wonderful."
  • "It's nice that there's a single point of truth for all of our projects."
  • "Speed and reliability need to be better."

What is our primary use case?

We switched to Monday from a couple of other options for tracking task management for our projects. That had proved to be a pretty difficult thing to do, since we kind of straddled the line in terms of a small business versus a big project, project management, somewhere. Particularly the developers and designers on our teams can use some of the larger solutions, however, most of our clients just don't feel that is necessary. It's really nice to be able to scale up when we need to. We had just a lot of issues finding something that was going to be easy to use, not just for developers, but designers as well, and allowed for at least some customer interaction through the dashboard as well.

What is most valuable?

Their flagship feature, what used to be called the pulse is great. Pulse offers great management. Being able to see everything at a glance and check task status, is wonderful. They use subtasks and the simple aspects of task management have been really helpful. Even beyond that, we do some Gantt views and calendar views, however, a lot of it is really just being able to manage large numbers of tasks seamlessly and be able to view them on different dashboards individually, not just per project. 

Previously, that was the limitation. We could look at all of the projects that someone was working on, and all of the tasks associated with the project, however, being able to filter down very specifically to say which tasks were on a particular project for a particular day, the interface was a lot better in our testing of Monday than it was with other similar solutions.

What needs improvement?

Speed and reliability need to be better. I don't mean that in a very basic, "Oh, we can't log in." Rather, there are issues with connectivity. That happens with anything at any sort of scale. I understand that. A bigger issue definitely is speed. It can run very slowly at times. A lot of the time we don't have issues, however, there are plenty of times when switching between views takes a long time, and I recognize they're doing on-the-fly queries with a lot of data. That's hard to do, hard to speed up, however, it does impact our workflow. That can really slow us down, particularly when we're trying to do a quick project check-in and we have to switch between two projects or more than one project and more than one person, having to drill down between those different contexts can be pretty cumbersome if it's a project at any sort of scale.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's fairly stable. They probably hit 99% or 98% stable, however, they'll go down for half a day at a time sometimes, which isn't great. It's not very common. That may be once or twice a year that they'll go down for a couple of hours, which obviously throws a wrench into things for us, however, there's enough collateral in other services that we're able to see what we're working on. It doesn't usually get in the way too much. We'll just work off PostIts for a couple of hours so we can reconcile everything. It's not too bad.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I can't speak to the number of clients that we have using it, since I don't know. However, internally, we've got six people using it. We bring clients in as well and have them use the system as necessary, which usually only happens if they're more on the medium to large-scale business or if it happens to be a more in-depth project. They'll usually have one or two seats that they use in that case, just to be able to offer feedback as we're working through the project. Occasionally, we'll have more than that, however, internally it's about a half dozen seats and then externally it's "as needed".

In most senses, it seems very scalable. That's one of the things that drew us to the product was that it can be used to handle very small projects, can be used to handle much larger projects. 

The issue that you run into is the same issue with scalability that you're going to have anywhere. It's large amounts of data, and so, querying that data just takes more time.  I would say that we do have some issues with scalability, however, it's really not more than we'd have with other project management systems except maybe something that was on-premises.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is pretty good. They're pretty responsive to the issues that we have. The consistent issue that we have had with them, if we have one, has been speed instability. When we inquire about that, we get a regular answer of, "Oh, we're sorry to hear about that. We're working on it. We'll get someone back to you when we have an answer," and very little will happen. It's not unexpected as we recognize the difficulties that they're dealing with. That said, after a while, it can feel a little hollow having that response. I suppose that's no different than what most customer service teams will do. They do offer guidance when we ask for help, however.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We still used 10,000 Feet a little bit, which was subsumed into Smartsheet some time ago. We used that really just for timesheet tracking since it happens to integrate with our accounting software, that's in the process of moving, however, the accounting software is kind of the lame-duck here. We have to work at the speed of the accounting software and that is Glacial. Previously, we used that for all of our task management as it was so simple to tie that to very specific line item accounting. We do that to a certain extent still, however, it's much more for the day-to-day tasks that don't need to be tied to a number, just tied to a task list to be able to track feedback loops and whatnot. That's really what Monday has helped with.

How was the initial setup?

Everybody's just using their website. It's either that or their free app through the app store. It's a very public cloud situation.

Everybody in the company was involved at some level with the setup. I did some of the testing and vetting of various solutions before anything happened and then went through Monday and a bunch of webinars and whatnot too. 

The initial setup is pretty simple. One of the advantages that Monday probably has for itself is that you don't need to dive straight into really deep integrations unless you want to. A lot of that has come very slowly with our team. Therefore, initially, it was very simple. We're using much more complicated things through some of our integrations with GitHub and Slack and whatnot, however, right off the bat, implementation is easy.

We have two people, handling the setup. Our team's project manager did almost everything. Then, intermittently, we would have someone else from Monday help on troubleshooting a couple of things. There isn't anybody who is full-time just Monday.com management.

In terms of maintenance, we do have one full-time project manager. There's maintenance in that someone needs to go in and assign tasks and manage the status of those tasks if they do tree shaking and pruning, so to speak, to make sure that everything is moving along. However, the updates in terms of architecture are handled automatically, which is nice. The content of the software is software as a service. We have endpoints and we do what we can. 

What about the implementation team?

We did everything internally. We connected with their onboarding team a bit, however, it's mostly folks who are running webinars normally. I don't remember us having a dedicated person past the first week or two. It was more about getting us acquainted with the platform rather than trying to build out a whole. The system itself doesn't need a lot of configuration compared to Jira or any of those larger systems that get you more at that ERP level.

What was our ROI?

We've seen an ROI. It has really helped from a process point of view for us to be able to do some internal evaluations of our QA processes and to be able to really push everyone towards documenting everything that they're doing. It's nice that there's a single point of truth for all of our projects. That was definitely lacking previously. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's extremely affordable. I've considered even getting a personal license just outside of work as it's been so helpful for all of my task management at work. I haven't quite pulled the trigger on that, since I'm not sure that the price point quite makes sense to have two of them running side by side. That said, it's great. The price point is very approachable, particularly for the time it saves. If it saves one hour a month, it more than pays for itself.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at several other options. We looked at a few that were more on the free side or had free tiers like Asana and Trello. We also looked at Jira, which uses swim lanes and is very scrum compliant, very agile. 

Monday seems to be what really struck a nice balance between what was usable from the designer and project manager end, and then what was usable from the developer end as well. 

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others to give it a go. It's been great for task management with collaboration on top and some web-based integrations like Slack, Github, or Microsoft Teams.

Great features, helpful filtering capabilities, and great tutorials
Pros and Cons
  • "The filters are extremely useful."
  • "We work more efficiently since using Monday.com."
  • "The product could have more templates."
  • "The solution should have better integration."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the board, and we use automation, rules, and different groups.

We use monday.com for our workflow. But we don't really have any issues with Monday.com.

How has it helped my organization?

We spend less time organizing our things to do. Everything is on the board on Monday.com and we don't have to discuss or assign or meet anymore. We just push a button and change the status and it's done. We work more efficiently since using Monday.com.

What is most valuable?

There are so many great features. All of them are great.

The filters are extremely useful. Since we work remotely, we can filter down to the task, to employees, to urgency, to everything. Every little detail we can filter down into. The filtering is the best part. 

All of our projects, tasks, and clients are on the same board so we can search for anything and we don't have to ask the others.

What needs improvement?

They improve the product regularly. We just go with the flow as it works perfectly for us.

The solution should have better integration. We have, for example, Ignition, our online contract platform. When the clients sign the contract online, it would be awesome if it could trigger Monday.com and create a task immediately. Right now, we are doing it manually. We were trying to connect Monday.com with Ignition through Zapier, however, it was too complicated. Therefore, integration would be awesome.

They need a bigger server or more space on whatever they keep this website on. Sometimes, when we have a huge board, it gets slow. They might need more resources.

The product could have more templates.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution since 2020.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is endless. I don't have any projects that I cannot set up on Monday.com. It's so flexible. If you need something to organize your stuff, Monday.com is the best.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are 14 end-users. Everyone works from their laptops.

The scalability is great. There's nothing I can't set up, no matter the size.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is awesome. They had some technical issues, a few weeks ago and they kept me posted. They replied back immediately. It was totally acceptable. They admitted to the technical issues and they did not argue. They did not ask me to refer to the router and stuff like that. Everything was good. Their support is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We tried many different platforms and none of them worked. Then, on Facebook,  an ad for Monday.com popped up and the company loved it.

We tried Karbon, and then Jetpack. They were not good. We spent more time changing and updating the status than the actual work.

Monday.com has more flexibility. Karbon did not have that many settings. Since we are a CPA firm, we have different projects and groups like tax returns, monthly closing, small tasks, and so many different items and tasks. Now, we have 14 users in this group and Karbon did not have that big flexibility to assign, and share tasks and responsibilities. We couldn't work it out. When we tried Monday.com, we found that we could change a lot more and update, and personalize everything specifically to the firm, or to the project, or the task.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. There are great tutorials and support.

There were three people who handled the deployment. I was one of them. There was a manager who did the workflow and the professional details. I did the operational side of the workflow and another individual did the overall review and is the owner.

The product does not require any maintenance. 

What about the implementation team?

We did not use an integrator or consultant during the initial setup.

What was our ROI?

We've seen an ROI. The time we spent on organizing is a lot less than what we did before.

Previously, before Monday.com, our firm time was a lot higher. The firm time is when you are doing your organizing, saving documents, and checking your things to do. Now, it's a lot less. I would say 30% to 40% less time spent on organizing than we spent before. All of the time we saved, we carried over to billable time with clients.

What other advice do I have?

We are customers and end-users. Our environment is 100% virtual, with everyone working from home. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'd advise new users to watch the tutorials. If you do not have the basic knowledge of how to use Monday.com, you can get lost very quickly.

When a platform has so many settings and solutions, that means that it's more difficult to set up everything, as it's not quick. When you set up a workflow, you have multiple options to choose from and then, when you choose an option, then you have other multiple options. You can mess it up pretty quickly. 

However, if you are watching the tutorials, and see and think ahead about how you want to set up your board and what you want to see, this platform would be perfect. That said, at first, you need to know what you want to see. A random setting up of boards, statuses, and labels will not be ideal. If you know what you want to see, then you can prepare.

Great alerts, helpful for cross-team collaboration, and helpful support
Pros and Cons
  • "Having all our stuff in one place, within one tool is extremely helpful."
  • "Cross-team collaboration shifted from challenging to "just the way we do things" overnight."
  • "This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."

What is our primary use case?

Monday helps our decentralized team connect digitally. 

Its flexibility allows information that was once only prepared and shared in one way to be presented in a way that is appealing and even more useful for other disciplines, without fundamentally changing the way a person needs to work. 

It also allows us to show aspects of our project to our volunteers in a way that doesn't break the bank. The guests feature is important for an organization like ours, that spends a lot of time connecting and communicating with people from coast to coast.

How has it helped my organization?

Our teams know about candidate launch deadlines, and it takes the burden of an organizing staffer being required to also make sure every department head has been alerted to an event, even if it's as granular as a task handoff. 

All our info, all in one place, is infinitely expandable with a myriad of integrations that work like a charm. We were able to remove bulky, siloed CRMs and tools that perhaps only one person from one team would use, and consolidate everything into Monday. 

Cross-team collaboration shifted from challenging to "just the way we do things" overnight. 

What is most valuable?

External facing development boards, countdowns, email alert systems for deadlines, and progress summaries have been great. Having all our stuff in one place, within one tool is extremely helpful. 

Being able to pull entire departments into their own ecosystem, while managing the user access from one dashboard is incredibly valuable. 

One of the best features I can speak to is getting alerts based on status and progress, task by task. Monday has really changed the notion of update meetings for our team- we can view updates at a glance, and get as granular as we need, or take a wide-angle view of the entire organization's progress. 

What needs improvement?

It's always great to get more training support for new folks. We highly recommended it so that you are able to get the most out of the platform. 

This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters. Everyone should be immersed in its workings if you want to truly revolutionize your organization. 

The feature set is so robust, that my suggestions are really quite narrow in scope - as basic as expanding the color palette to folders in a workspace. 

For how long have I used the solution?

My organization has been using Monday for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I've found Monday to be a very stable platform. Over the course of my using Monday, I cannot recall a time that the service was down or inaccessible to me. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scales up and down, depending on your contract. 

How are customer service and support?

Nothing to complain about in terms of technical support. They are responsive, engaging, and always checking in. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used several different solutions and Monday took care of many of our other 3rd-party tools - everything from our CRM to our helpdesk to our research. Those 3rd party tools we had to keep were easily integrated into Monday. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution offers a fantastic team setup and support options. It's a la carte and scales up to a more robust integration. 

What about the implementation team?

I run two different instances of Monday, one in-house, one through the vendor team. I am partial to the in-house. 

What was our ROI?

We haven't done the exact math on this, however, in morale alone, the return is a net positive. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'd advise new users to get the training you need for all the staff who will need discrete spaces carved out on Monday.

Don't get me wrong, Monday is easy to pick up and use for folks who don't need to do deeper stuff, however, your organization will need to consider how best to integrate the tool into your business. 

If there are choices, only integrate the parts of your business that you want to relieve from being crushed under the weight of your organization's ad-minutia. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Monday was the first alternative to our current toolset that we looked at. 

What other advice do I have?

Monday is a whole-team solution. Make sure everyone gets a crack at seeing how they could use it- and let them play around a bit with the new ideas presented via the toolset. It's fun.

Excellent general layout, connects boards and helps with organization
Pros and Cons
  • "I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
  • "Organization, in general, has been greatly improved and it has had a marked improvement in communication also, cutting down on wasted time during meetings and making life a little easier for everyone."
  • "Email notifications from Monday.com can sometimes not lead to the relevant update I am being notified about, which can be frustrating."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is for task management and clearly communicating ongoing and planned projects to colleagues across different teams within different geographies. 

I work in the marketing department of a global tech company, which is rather matrixed, so clear communication of current and planned projects helps myself and others to clearly understand where synergies might exist. 

I also use the platform to communicate requests to other internal teams, such as creative and design, and to keep track of the progress of my requests.

How has it helped my organization?

I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze. Everyone is clear on which tasks they are responsible for and I am able to review our Monday's board before each meeting to develop an agenda of problems to solve and updates to discuss. 

Organization, in general, has been greatly improved and it has had a marked improvement in communication also, cutting down on wasted time during meetings and making life a little easier for everyone.

What is most valuable?

I like the ability to connect boards. If I make an update to my board to mark a project as complete or content as live, my colleagues in the social team then know that this piece of content is now live and our community manager can begin to interact with comments. This is so useful as it helps to remove any unnecessary emailing/messaging. 

I also like the general layout and the ability to color-code projects/tasks. It provides an incredibly clear and user-friendly format. The ability to expand/contract tasks, edit labels and edit the ordering of projects are also incredibly useful features.

What needs improvement?

Email notifications from Monday.com can sometimes not lead to the relevant update I am being notified about. When this happens, I then need to review the email to understand which board the update has come from and then manually find the board with the update I need to address within Monday.com. If the email led me to the specific board, then it'd be a much easier experience and require less of an investment of time.In my opinion, this aspect of the user experience should definitely be addressed within the next release of the platform.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Overall, the solution is fairly stable and will likely continue to be a major part of the company I work for. It will be interesting to see further features/abilities added.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Easy to set up, improves communication, and keeps users organized
Pros and Cons
  • "Monday.com is a very organized and easy-to-use tool."
  • "It has become a massive asset to our day-to-day production, and we plan to run full speed with Monday.com as our primary project management tool."
  • "There should be on-screen PC/Mac notifications when the website/service is not open on the screen."

What is our primary use case?

Our business uses Monday.com to communicate assignments to each of our departments. Our management then receives the notice of the new assignments, can communicate with other staff in an organized location related to the said assignment, and can do all of this for multiple assignments at once. 

Monday.com is a very organized and easy-to-use tool. 

We also use this tool as a way to track the status of online sales. We only have about half a dozen of online sales active at any time (we are 99% storefront retail, with very rare cases of online sales) and Monday.com allows the storefronts to keep track of the online sale status all in one convenient place that one of our users keeps updated as the status of the sale changes.

How has it helped my organization?

Our business has produced a new level of communication and understanding of work needing to be completed that we did not have prior to using Monday.com. Prior to using Monday.com, we were primarily using texts and phone calls to communicate, but by not using an all-inclusive form of communication, a lot of vital information was lost in the weeds and Monday.com has resolved all of these issues. Monday.com allows us to keep all communication local to the problem in question, while not losing the information needed to succeed.

What is most valuable?

The communication/update section on each assignment is excellent. The ability to ask and answer questions and update each other on the progress of an assignment, while staying in the confines of that specific assignment, while also not disturbing other assignments or adding confusion is a priceless asset. 

As I included in my previous answer, we were primarily using texts and phone calls to communicate, but by not using an all-inclusive form of communication, a lot of vital information was lost in the weeds and Monday.com has resolved all of
these issues. 

Monday.com allows us to keep all communication local to the problem in question, while not losing the information needed to succeed.

What needs improvement?

There should be on-screen PC/Mac notifications when the website/service is not open on the screen. If they made it similar to a social media notification, that would be a bonus. From what I've been able to find, this is not a current feature with Monday.com. 

Another area of improvement would probably be a form of inclusion from outside sources of communication. I would love to be able to read a Monday.com notification on an Apple Watch, use voice-to-text to respond to the said notification, and then have that response get added to the Monday.com assignment in question.

Again, these may already be implemented in some form or fashion, however, I have yet to find them.

For how long have I used the solution?

Our business has been using Monday.com for almost two years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Our company's instance of Monday.com is cloud-hosted and we have no impression of the service halting in the future. We plan to use this service as our sole project management solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our company's instance of Monday.com is fairly small compared to other instances that I have seen. Our company only has around 25 employees that use Monday.com on a day-to-day basis. We keep everything within a couple of pages, and I've seen corporations that have dozens of pages open within their instance with each page essentially being used as an individual storefront. I have definitely seen cases of use where we could grow our company's instance into much more in-depth management, however, we have yet to see a need to.

How are customer service and support?

We have had minimal communication with customer service and/or support, only due to the fact that we haven't needed support in any way so far. Everything has run smoothly.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have tried multiple solutions in the past (Asana, Whatsapp), however, have found that Monday.com has been the easiest product to integrate completely into our day-to-day with our staff. 

We have a staff of upper-level management that doesn't always want to conform to new technological inclusions into our business, especially on a day-to-day level, and we have had little to no push back on our integration with Monday.com. 

All levels of management use it on a day-to-day basis and company-wide, we have had great success in communication and a higher rate of completion by the deadline on projects and assignments created within the Monday.com platform.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is completely straightforward. Our VP had no issues setting up the service for our company.

What about the implementation team?

The solution was implemented in-house.

What was our ROI?

Our ROI with Monday.com is primarily based on job accuracy and completion by goal dates issued by upper management. While we don't directly quantify a financial ROI for Monday.com within our business, we do acknowledge the growth in information retainment, higher job accuracy within our lower-level staff, and higher completion by goal dates company-wide since implementing Monday.com into our business.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'd advise new users to prepare to budget around Monday.com being a needed product that is never considered a dropable product. It has become a massive asset to our day-to-day production, and we plan to run full speed with Monday.com as our primary project management tool. 

It was extremely simple and easy to set up for our vice president who was then able to individually invite the required staff into our company's instance of Monday.com, and within an hour he had created the infrastructure that we have operated for the last two years.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

As I said previously, we have tried multiple solutions in the past (Asana, Whatsapp). I have found that Monday.com has been the easiest product to integrate completely into our day-to-day with our staff.

What other advice do I have?

Monday.com is a fantastic project management tool that our company would recommend to any company working in any field with a deadline.

Great automation, integrates well with Google Forms, and offers helpful support
Pros and Cons
  • "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, and we assign responsibilities for each activity and they receive an email about it, it is awesome."
  • "In premium accounts, the amount of transactions allowed is so low. We have not been able to integrate more apps due to this limitation."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

I implemented the product by myself.

What was our ROI?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Customizable with a good user interface and a short learning curve
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
  • "We chose Monday.com for the flexibility."
  • "The inbox and notifications section is not great, therefore, we don't use the comments field to communicate with each other."

What is our primary use case?

We are a 35-person accounting services department within a larger accounting firm, and our department uses Monday.com to track the recurring monthly, quarterly, and annual accounting engagements as well as regular business filings, one-off unique projects for clients, and some of our internal processes. 

We use it as a workflow tool to track various stages and statuses of task in a project, and as our personal work to-do lists. We use it to onboard new employees, as well as a topic tracker to create agendas for our task force department initiatives.  

How has it helped my organization?

We were tracking our work in a few different places that weren't very user-friendly for regular updates. 

For 85% of our work, it is on a recurring basis (either monthly, quarterly, or annually) and we need the same engagement to roll each month and create a new project for the subsequent month. 

Monday.com helped us capture all the work we're doing in one place, with liveability to provide timely updates on the status of projects, and it allows us to create customized boards to track the tasks associated with each engagement. It gave us the flexibility to build it how we want it to suit our unique mode of operation (a lot of small recurring processes). 

What is most valuable?

We chose Monday.com for the flexibility. It is relatively easy to build a basic board for tracking projects and tasks. 

It has a pleasing and pretty user interface, allowing conditional formatting and color coding for easy visual tracking of projects and statuses. It doesn't take much training to get up and running in it. It's easy to pick up and click around and figure out how to build a basic board. 

I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change.  

What needs improvement?

The inbox and notifications section is not great, therefore, we don't use the comments field to communicate with each other. We instead communicate outside of the platform in Microsoft Teams. 

It is hard to maintain when you have linked boards, automation, etc. It can doa lot, however, that means it requires a lot of upkeep too. We didn't purchase the Enterprise package. Our representative mentioned that would have provided advice and a roadmap for supporting our rollout, however, we couldn't have known what we wanted out of the gates. Therefore, it was best that we implemented it ourselves, however, at this point it's a little sprawling and on the brink of becoming unmanageable. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

A few times it'll have an outage or glitch, however, it never lasts more than an hour or so.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is definitely scalable, however, it would require a champion or team of people with a significant investment of time to stay up to date and manage the flow of boards.  

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used a combination of a variety of tools, including shared Excel docs, Outlook calendars, and Smartsheet.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is pretty simple and straightforward. That said, we were much smaller at the time (maybe 20 people). 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Asana and Trello.

A stable product that ensures better team coordination and better project management in an organization
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
  • "Though it offers full customizability, the table is an area where the product's performance is not quite up to the mark."

What is our primary use case?

I use monday.com in my company for work management, project management, and task management.

How has it helped my organization?

With the use of the tool in our organization, we have had a good experience with better team coordination and better project management, but one cannot modify it.

What is most valuable?

Though the product's interface is quite simple, it lacks some functionalities. There are some automation areas that work quite well in the solution, but the product lacks in certain items when it comes to implementation.

What needs improvement?

Mostly, the sub-items in the organization of the project are areas where improvements are needed. Though it offers full customizability, the table is an area where the product's performance is not quite up to the mark. From any improvement perspective, the solution should consider the aforementioned areas where it lacks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with monday.com. I use the solution's latest version since it is a SaaS-based product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

More than 200 people in my company use the solution.

Our company has plans to increase the usage of the solution in the future.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The solution is always ready to use since it is available in the cloud, but you need a week or two to get the product working correctly.

For the deployment, you mostly create your team and invite people, and you complete the templates and dashboard. The longest part of the deployment is related to the dashboard, as you need to customize the dashboard to your needs.

At least two people with technical knowledge are required to take care of the deployment and maintenance of the product, but as it is a user-friendly tool, anyone can manage it.

What about the implementation team?

Our company's in-house team managed the product's installation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan.

What other advice do I have?

Those who plan to use the solution should take time to dive deep, test, and try to customize the product to meet their needs.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
