monday.com

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

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.

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.

Cons

nothing, its most loved CRM tool by everyone

Pros

Monday has a shallow learning curve that actually increases as you get deeper and deeper into the various functions and customizations. Learning how to use it as a board-user was instantaneous, and learning to manage a board using standard features was simple. But there's a lot more beyond that, if one has use for features beyond the basics. We haven't integrated other platforms into our Monday but the option to do so is helpful.

Cons

There are occasional outages. Some lasted over 12 hours but most ended within 2-3 hours of a coworker noticing.

Pros

The most impressive aspect of monday.com is its user-friendly interface that significantly enhances our team's ability to collaborate effortlessly on various projects. Its seamless integration and intuitive design make it indispensable for managing our daily tasks and long-term projects alike.

Cons

One limitation I've encountered with monday.com is the inability to view the full context of a task within the 'My Work' view. It shows the tasks assigned to me, but it doesn't provide visibility into how these tasks fit into the larger project scope, unlike the more comprehensive 'Campaign' view.

Pros

monday.com streamlines the process of tracking, planning and managing projects and tasks.

Cons

I am the one with issues since I have never completed to customize all features.

Pros

Monday.com reveals the ideal value of teamwork, making interaction with it a pleasure rather than a duty. With Monday.com, there is no obstacle to the continuity of tracking closing dates, updating tasks or documenting notes. Monday.com is ideal for linking several separate projects through their own boards that organize the workflow. I liked the quality of the link with email and the main calendar, which achieves better follow-up of recurring tasks.

Cons

I have never complained about Monday.com, the service team is always available, and the features are updated and new features are added to it constantly, which increases the simplicity of managing the workflow. The color representation of tables and charts is great and enhances the follow-up capabilities.
