best tool for asynchronous work & communication
What do you like best about the product?
Monday is definetely my favourite asynchronous tool for remote working, it allows me to work with people spread across many different regions. It works the best for reporting, project management, brainstorming.. it allows you to keep track of deadlines, to Dos, ownership, giving always an overall complete overview.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind to be honest. If it is possible, I would improve the way the boards are showed on the left part of the tool. When you are subscribed to many it can become overwhelming. Also I do not like the mobile experience at all, I prefer the website version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I said, it gives you the power of carrying on projects & initiatives smoothly even if people are based in different time zones. People can contribute in the boards during they working hours and you are always able to keep track of progress and tasks, also receiving notification and using the reporting features.
Good management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Monday.com is a project management and team collaboration platform that stands out for its ease of use and intuitive features. In my assessment, I consider that Monday.com is highly beneficial for companies of all sizes looking to optimize their productivity and collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Monday.com has many useful features, some users have reported that there can be a learning curve when starting to use the platform, especially if they are accustomed to other project management tools. This may require some time and effort to adapt. Additionally, the customization of the platform can be somewhat limited in some cases, which can be frustrating for users who want more specific or customized features.

An All-in-One PM Software, Amazing Product!
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Monday.com is its unique features and how it integrates with other platforms. I have visibility regarding every project that is taking place within my Creative/Marketing Team. With the updates section, I am able to add my meeting notes; ask project stakeholders where they are stuck and how I can help them. I am also able to update live meeting videos (kickoff calls) there, so the team can always go back. It's honestly the best PM software out there. And I think I should work for Monday.com because I love this platform so much! And the value it brings to me and the org. I currently work for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the loading can be an issue; glitches tend to take place. I also feel the connect boards column can go through its own phase. So I wish this could be resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe this platform creates visibility for the whole team. When people leave and join, the constant is this platform. Everything is stored within Monday. From the latest projects, epics, and comments, everything is documented. And that's why it's my go-to solution. Another perk is I can create separate boards and merge them. And I love that I can set up automations customized to the team's need(s).
A good project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
We can easily track all our individual and group projects. The tool is quite intuitive and easy to use. It is possible to create tables, surveys, projects...
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is difficult to keep track of the time of tasks, despite a timer. Sometimes the number of features can be too large, not all of them are necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Monday for my work, I use it to keep track of the different projects I am involved in and the different tasks.
Monday.com Improves Workplace Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
What is most helpful about Monday.com is it allows you to collaborate with your team and different teams. Even if you work remotely you are able to show what you are working on and see what your team members are working on. It also drastically can't cut down on the number of meetings you need to have.
What do you dislike about the product?
What is least helpful about Monday.com is the number of options you have access to. Sometimes with all the choices and options you have, it can complicate the process. It can take some time to get the basics down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monday.com is solving the problem of knowing what m team is working on. We are clearly able to show on our board what projects are team are working on, and what are our key objectives for the quarter.
Helps you avoid delays because you can visualize your deadlines and track your progress
What is our primary use case?
I am a consultant who helps companies implement monday.com. I do not use the solution at my organization. The use case depends on the client. Every company needs tools for collaboration and organization, and most use Office 365, Google Docs, etc. Around 80 percent of my clients are agencies, but they've reached the limits of what they can do in terms of collaboration with their existing tools.
Most of the clients who contact me already know that they want to implement monday.com, so it's not like I'm selling them the solution. They want something to facilitate their collaboration and communication.
How has it helped my organization?
monday.com is an excellent tool to follow your project timeline to see where you are and where you want to go. It's super flexible. Thanks to all the automation, you can do practically anything with monday.com.
It's great for managers. The dashboard gives you an overview of your team's workload, so you can see how long it takes for each person to complete a task. There are many kinds of dashboards, each with widgets that offer insight into what is happening.
monday.com helps you avoid delays because you can visualize your deadlines and track your progress. It can help you break down silos in an organization to some extent, but it's just a tool. Some companies think a tool will change everything. The tool will help you manage your files, but it depends on the company's politics and how people want to work together. If your directors and managers want to avoid silos, monday.com will help them do that easily. It's an excellent tool for collaborating across various services, but it depends on the company's policy.
What is most valuable?
I like the automation you can do with monday.com. You can automate priorities, status changes, notifications, etc. You may need another solution to create this automation in other tools, but monday.com includes everything. The Gantt view for project planning is also pretty good.
The interface is another area where monday.com shines. It is colorful and visually appealing. You can paint with colors, and there are multiple views. If you are the type of person who wants all of your information displayed linearly, you can set it up in lines.
It's the best tool for evaluating timelines and projects. The most challenging part is deciding how you want to display your information, but as soon as you know what you're doing, it's effortless to view where you are in the project and who's involved.
You can set up a simple project in under five minutes, but a super complex one might take a few days. I think it's straightforward if you know how you want to organize your information.
monday.com is accessible to non-technical users but takes a lot of time. They have many tutorials, and you can easily use monday.com if you can take the time to go through them and learn. When you initially create a project, it's only a board with lines on which you enter the tasks. You have some columns with the task owner, status, deadlines, etc. It is not that easy to understand all the features and how you can use them for your case, which is why people contact me.
When you implement the tool, you decide which layout to use and what information you want to disclose. I've seen clients who have been using this for three years, and they still only know how to do things one way because they haven't taken the time to understand all the features. It's crucial to spend time at the start and learn the tool. I don't think the learning curve is that huge.
What needs improvement?
monday.com is missing a few features but not many. For example, let's say you're working on a global project for a marketing campaign, and you have the video team working on it. Maybe the video team only wants a board that shows the packages that are related to them, but you cannot do that on monday.com. You can't have the same task in multiple projects.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with monday.com for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
If you are doing a lot of automation, it can start to lag a little.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
monday.com is highly scalable. You can use it with teams of any size.
How are customer service and support?
I am a partner, so I have access to many different resource sets. I have never contacted their tech support because I already have access to all the information I need.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use Asana every day, and we work with Optix. I've also used Trello and Excel. Asana is easier to use, but monday.com is more flexible and can do more. Asana is user-friendly, and monday.com is more powerful.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up the tool is straightforward, but you also need to consider the process that you're implementing and do some work beyond the tool itself. I have teams of 20 to 30 people, and three or four are usually involved in the integration. After deployment, it doesn't require any maintenance. It just works.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
monday.com is pretty affordable. It's cheaper than Asana. There are four tiers, including a free version. The free version is fine if you don't have any complex projects. One of the most advanced plans is around $16 per month per user.
What other advice do I have?
I rate monday.com a nine out of ten. I remove one point for the performance issues. I recommend taking your time in the beginning. Don't rush into implementation. It's only a tool, and you can't expect it to instantly transform your organization. Take the time to understand all the features and what you hope to get from it.
Easy-to-use and collaborative task management tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively straightforward to use, I never had any issues with figuring out the platform. Once you've setup a board, managing it is effortless. Probably the easiest one to get started with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike - if I had to say something, the dashboards can be quite visually dull, compared to competitors who have more vibrant/fun features like Asana's unicorns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility across larger projects within the team, so everyone is looped in on expectations, outcomes and timelines. Everything is in one place, tracked and recorded.
