monday.com

Pros

It was a great place to have all in 1 storage of data/dashboard/updates for my team.

Cons

I think it act's more like a spreadsheet with add ons to it but It does need to make it more interesting and needs a bit of AI

Pros

Our department started to use this web base platform due to friendly feature it has and low-cost charges according to our leaders. It's also very easy to adjust the design and troubleshoot some minor issues without reaching out to IT department in contrast to the old platform we used to have.

Cons

I'm not quite certain if it's doable on the side of admin or just the apps lacking this feature but I'm looking forward that this platform any time soon will have a round robin thing so that we don't have to assigned the task manually to each user. No sound in notification.

Pros

Can setup automations, like, when a status for a particular ticket is changed, it can be moved to a different sections. And others.

Cons

Can be confusing at first, there's lots of options and menus everywhere. Can easily get lost trying to find a ticket, specially if there are multiple sections/categories.

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

Easy to setup. The onboarding process is quick and seamless!

Cons

Overall, I really enjoyed the product much better than competitors like Asana and Trello.

Pros

I love the way dashboards can be used to integrate separate departments together. This works particularly well for Marketing Agencies where work is shared between departments but individual departments still operate individually.

Cons

I sometimes find Monday can be quite rigid in how tasks are assigned and then moved around on timelines. Having to go into board to access tasks or even not being able to 'peek into' a task can make it harder to breeze over work and tasks completed without feeling a bit 'bogged down'.

Pros

It's very easy to understand and intuative to use. I've introduced it for a number of projects with our team and we've had no issues with getting team members to engage with it.

Cons

The user limits can be confusing between paid seats and guests and we found out the hard way that we had "oversold" our seats!

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

Pros

monday provides a modern looking interface and a variety of display modes when it comes to a clear view of your project pages. It's top notch in project management tools

Cons

If you start your journey as a single user, it may be a bit too expensive, because there is no option for a single member subscription.

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

Pros

Easy to get started
Easy to work with integrations and automations

Cons

Very Expensive for Enterprise level, where a lot of features you would expect with any cloud service (e.g. SSO or User Provisioning) are hidden behind the pay wall.
Interface is a little chonky, and thus you do a lot of scrolling if you don't have a HUGE monitor.

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

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.com has a lot going for it, with a beautiful and customizable board system as its main selling point. Another interesting is that it has the so-called “pulse” to immediately show the state and workload of a particular project and team members.

Cons

A weakness that could improve for monday.com: Lack of detailed reporting, though creating ready reports can be problematic.

Pros

Monday is VERY easy to customize to fit our processes and then easy to maintain. The table view is much easier to use than other similar systems. Being able to switch between table and Kanban was extremely valuable.

Cons

It's not as easy to customize notifications/types without a large upgrade to the plan. The less expensive plans definitely lack many features. There is also not a "todo" list function (where I can privately manage tasks not viewable by others).

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

Pros

The visibility to look at the status of each project and see daily, weekly updates at a quick glance. Also, the collab function to provide team updates and tag specific person to nudge them about their projects is a great help.

Cons

The reporting type (graphs) are very basic and limited to a point. I cannot drill it down to the level of detail I need without creating other metric dashboards or cards.

Reasons for Switching to monday.com

Pros

Intuitive Interface, Strong Collaboration Features, Great for Visual Learners and Free available plans

Cons

Learning Curve for Automation requires technical knowledge.
Mobile App Limitations and Limited Task Hierarchy.

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

Monday is a powerhouse of templates. I loved going through to see all the options available to me and decided to edit one of the existing templates that met most of my needs.

Cons

Cost is the only thing I was bummed about. I know it is not that expensive for what you get but for a small operation like mine it was just a bit out of my comfort zone.

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

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.

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.
