monday.com Reviews

Pros

It is incredibly intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. It has bright colours that indicate where you need to pay attention to and intervene.

Cons

Some of the functionality is less developed as you would expect (e.g. dependency management. RAID logs). Also, it takes some time getting used to using the tool based on various methodologies you are using. For example, agile vs waterfall vs hybrid.

Pros

I love how easy it is to organize my projects and their tasks using monday.com. I can set request date, due dates, start and end dates. There's a ton of customizability!

Cons

Their automations are a tease. When you first set up a free account they let you use automations for a couple weeks, and then turn them off. You have to have a paid account to use any automations. Even if a two or three automations were available to a free account would be nice.

Pros

Despite its complex and extensive array of options; Monday turned out to be quite an intuitive tool, easy to get co-workers and even external contractors on board, and getting everyone familiar with the required tools in little time. Highly customizable, and just simply it was the best solution the team needed out of the box.

Cons

It was way too easy for any user to completely disorganize or even delete entire sections of a board on accident. For instance, I had an incident where my computer was unresponsive, and trying to click on anything again, I accidentally deleted one of our contractor developers off of an assigned section. Also, my leads often complained at how fragile the organization of the boards on Monday could be, where it seemed that adding a section to an existing board could change the organization of the entire board.

Pros

It's a visually pleasing software with plenty of resources to build project management boards instantly, alongside excellent customer service who are always quick to answer.

Cons

The restrictions into the customisation of the boards and pages, restricting users to only using the Monday colour scheme and lacking any variants into how much you can change what your board looks like.

We were so familiar with Mondays and the user friendly display helps with our Sales team.

Pros

I like the dashboard feature where you can bring data from different boards and compare campaign performance.
Having a visual representation of the data is very helpful in understanding and implementing positive changes.

Also, the AI chat bot is insanely accurate in getting you to the right resources or even solving your issue there and then.

Cons

Although there are so many automations available, I can sometimes spend a long time finding the correct one I want to use and it can me a sort of trial and error. Maybe I just need to spend more time learning how they work etc.

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

Monday provided what I needed and was easier to understand and set up / I didn't have time to learn a new system and how it worked and monday just made logical sense.

Pros

The breadth of functionality and customisation!

Cons

Sub-itemisation causes problems when pulling through MI data, this has limited plenty of expansive project management systems that we could have created.

Pros

Monday.com allows you to stay ontop of deadlines as well as track statuses on projects. It's a great way to stay collaborative on projects and very effective on keeping users informed.

Cons

Viewing excel or files similiar to excel sheets do not display correctly through the application. You would have to download the file to view the contents accurately.

Pros

What I love most about monday.com is how easy it is to use—it makes keeping up with projects straightforward and stress-free. You can set things up exactly how you need them, whether you’re tracking deadlines or assigning tasks. The built-in tools for comments and tagging make team communication simple, and it works well with other apps we already use. Plus, the mobile app means you can check in on things anywhere, anytime.

Cons

What I liked least about monday.com is that the customization options, while useful, can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when setting up a new project. Additionally, some of the advanced features, like automation and integrations, are limited to higher-priced plans, which can be frustrating for smaller teams on a budget.

Ease of use. They had a lot of advertising for monday.com which led us to pick them.

Pros

CRM was fabulous and organized. I appreciated the vibrant colors as well.

Cons

Training required many hours to learn. Software is so huge, that trai

Pros

How user friendly the software is. It's intuitive and really easy to navigate.

Cons

Sometimes almost too much choice which can make it easy to try and do too much. This can then sometimes over complicate what you're trying to do.

Pros

Monday is an extremely versatile tool and its default templates allow us to parameterize a project so that tracking is easy, considering the type of activities we handle, facilitating the tracking of technology, construction, manufacturing, marketing projects, among many others.
Another very important feature for me is the ability to quickly access the boards I have recently worked on, as well as my notifications inbox and the workspaces where I update my tasks, all on a single screen, including the ability to invite my coworkers and start collaborating on tasks that need to be executed by other people.

Cons

Monday is not as flexible when we need to keep track of projects with a large number of coworkers without considering licensing that can affect our budget. We must keep in mind that sometimes we need to incorporate personnel into our project to perform a few tasks and if we want that person to interact with the Monday software tool, we have no choice but to use a license so that they participate in the updates.
Monday allows us to import data from different data sources but I personally think that there are other tools on the market that facilitate this type of functionality that we will always require a little better. However, it does its job very well and after becoming familiar with the process, everything flows quickly.

Pros

What I liked most about monday.com was its intuitive interface, which makes project management straightforward and collaborative, keeping teams aligned and productive effortlessly.

Cons

A little scary at first as it was out of my comfort zone, but once familiar, it was all good.

Pros

It is over five years now ever since I started using monday.com. I like that it has a mobile application for iOS devices which works lit 🔥 for me.

Cons

The aspects which were challenging as a new user are no more since I get used to this tool.

Pros

monday.com facilitates an extensive range of features in one central repository from task management, time tracking, project management, instant messaging and chat capabilities.

Cons

This is one of the tools which I use on a daily basis and I rarely encounter bugs which last for more than 24 hours without being fixed.

Pros

I can easily manage my projects using Monday. I can create multiple boards for each contract we have, and have all the projects on my screen at the same time. I can easily track and see everything that is going on with my projects, I can assign people to tasks, I can upload my files directly from dropbox and it is live updated with any change on the file. Monday is really simple and easy to use, it can improve and help you to track your projects. With the updates you do, you can review any project even after a year and see everything that occurred with that project while that time.

Cons

I think they could improve in the auto assign tasks for the projects. That would improve a lot the workflow of the projects. Also, the app is being slow at least once a week and that is a bad thing about it, because it breaks the workflow.

Pros

Overall, monday.com is appreciated for its user-friendly interface, customization options, collaboration features, integration capabilities, and support for improving team productivity and project management efficiency

Cons

Users who receive numerous notifications or updates from monday.com may find it challenging to manage or prioritize notifications effectively, potentially leading to information overload

Pros

I love the customization in the types of boards that you can use and the fact that you can now set up automations! Its a great way to manage different teams and projects.

Cons

I understand maybe why it is this way, but I don't love that I need a separate board for everything. I kind of wish I could have multiple different tables with different headers on one page. And maybe I am just unaware of a feature that allows this.

Pros

It’s been over six years ever since I incorporated monday.com in my previous organization as Senior Account.
All along, it has enables me to save time by enhancing collaboration, instant messaging, project management, time tracking etc all-in-one place.

Cons

Every aspect works perfectly lit for me while using monday.com - there is no noticeable bug at the moment.

Pros

monday.com for over seven years has been a remarkable tool for planning, tracking and managing tasks by automating workflow.
In addition, it has instant messaging, collaboration and live chat features which boost communication in real-time.

Cons

I do not have anything that I face as flaw when utilizing this tool.

Pros

I give double thumbs up to the vendor for offering a tool that has instant messaging, chat, collaboration, team management, file sharing, task and project management in one place.

Cons

There is no issue which I am facing when using monday.com.

Pros

Fantastic for project management at any scale - from personal to-do lists to full fledged department planning Monday.com can do it all. It's easy to use UI and both built in and plugged-in automations really do the most to support with whatever you need across multiple workspaces.

Cons

Down-time is unfortunately higher than in the past, but it's usually very brief.
