monday.com Software

Overall great for tracking progress of projects or tasks, has increased transparency and communication in our organization.

Pros

Great for tracking progress that is visible to the entire team. allows for a centralized location to post updates and have the entire team have access.

Cons

Regular updates mean that some features you may have been using might not be available anymore at some point. (ie. Autoscroll in full screen)

Pros

When my team initially demo'ed monday.com, we were very impressed with the overall user interface and customizability. It is truly a beautiful tool to work with, and has many features to increase productivity and collaboration. The sheer number of features was almost a distraction at first, but this is clearly a powerful tool which a dynamic team could employ in really wonderful ways.

Cons

The biggest con would be price, considering other productivity and collaboration tools which offer robust feature sets as well could easily be had for a lower cost. Additionally, my team would have loved the ability to markup PDF files, but this is currently not an option.

I wish I had known about this product long before I did! It would have saved us a ton of time. If you’re currently using trello or google sheets to track candidates or managing multiple projects I suggest giving Monday.com a try!

Pros

I love Monday.com. My team and I were using Trello for the longest time and also excel documents. Monday is the perfect combo of both of those. We specifically use Monday to track candidates during the recruiting process. Love how easy to use the platform is. You can search between boards which is extremely useful if you have a lot of clients and want to search by keywords or by skillset. You can use #’s to link things as well. not 100% on how to do it yet but we’re getting the hang of it. This product is perfect for what we need and was very affordable. 10/10 recommend.

Cons

The only suggestion I have for them and I’ve messaged them directly is creating custom colors for the various labels. They give you about 15 default colors but we’ve maxed that out and now same colors for different labels…not a HUGE thing but definitely would be an easy tweak.

Pros

It's Kanban-based so it's visually stunning. It's easy to use once you get it set up. It has a fair amount of features for free but can get pricey once you start adding full functionality. The more I use it the more I like it.

Cons

It can be a pain to set up. It's even more difficult to get clients onboard with it because non-project managers can get bogged down if they don't already know how to use PM software.

Pros

This was Easy way to manage my day to day task, love the color coding.The reminders were helpful as well.

Cons

I needed something to manage different jobs. There really isn't a place for jobs with subtask. I ended up figuring a way how to make it work. overall, its a great software for the cost.

Pros

Personally, I really liked this CRM. It was easy to use and the customer service I talked to seemed like they were not annoyed to be helping.

Cons

Unfortunately, as a non-profit we are running on little funds. We found alternative options allowing us to get a different CRM at a lowered price.

None

Pros

Coming into the real estate world there are so many tasks you need to do in order to start building your business. Century 21 Beal uses this program to help agents stay organized and on task

Cons

It can be overwhelming with the amount of tasks assisgned to you. But being able to check them off is very helpful.

Pros

Its very flexible and can be used across the business for lots of different types of jobs. It's UI is also nice.

Cons

Once you take the plunge and pay for your team, you start getting used to it and realise that they have restricted certain features if you're not paying for the next level up. Often, they are pretty basic features such as searching for pulses (the items of work) and if you're using it properly, you can have hundreds of them. You also can't see change logs that are more than a week old. These are gritty little things that are just plain annoying because they arent cheap in the first place and we only have a small team. One of our pulses is now to find an alternative!

Pros

You feel organized, can get a whole general view of everything. Helps you stay on track, keeping track of your progress and to-do s by day.

Cons

It is hard to get the whole team to use the software but this is due more to consistency and internal communication.

Pros

Ui/UX design, makes it very visual, easy to use and flexible. I can design my own templates with amazing possibilities. OUTSTANDING customer support. The possibility to have unlimited external users gives the possibility to share projects with contractors and clients. Continuously improving and adding new features.

Cons

Can't have projects by clients, either than using tags - that can only be added on a task ("pulse"). But I'm sure that this well be improved in the near future.

Pros

-Streamlines contribution by connecting with various other apps
-Displays progress data simply
-Requires no training: easy learning curve

Cons

-Designed for larger teams and companies (not really for individuals)
-Could bundle more cloud storage for the pricing

I would definitely recommend Monday.com to any company trying to consolidate and share information throughout their organization.

Pros

Monday.com keeps my whole company on the same page. I am often off site at meetings and can stay on top of everything going on with my team. It is also great to be able to create your own page to keep track of personal information either privately or publicly.

Cons

It is a bit hard to get used to. My company started using is about 3 months ago and I'm still getting used to some of the features - and their are new ones that pop up all the time!

Pros

Visually pleasing! I really like the aesthetic design of the dashboard. Communication in our team also improved.

Cons

Options are limited as of now, but maybe there's room for improvement. And more features for picking options.

Pros

Super easy to use, especially with all the tutorials for new people that signup. Acts as a great dashboard for a team working on multiple projects.

Cons

The free version doesn't offer as many features as I would like, so I might consider upgrading if everyone on the team agrees this is the software to go with.

Pros

The user interface is extremely easy to navigate and very attractive.
The pricing is fair for the number of users and plans are easily switched as your team grows.

Cons

The software is reminiscent of spreadsheets and gantt charts which to some is an attractive feature, but we found that the presentation of our data was better in other software.

Pros

Monday is a great interface for individuals or small teams to get their project management in order. It is very easy to jump in and start using and Monday does a good job guiding people through the best practices of how to use the software.

Cons

The only things we've had trouble with is not being able to attach files and mildly limited integration options.

I really like the simplicity of this product for what it is. The online tutorials are young and modern. Works on phones as seamlessly as your computer. Great collaboration tool that everyone on the team can understand without a degree in project management.

Pros

Very easy to use, and the visuals don't hide anything. Punch lists are clean and functional. Easy to collaborate with teams. Assignments are clear, and status is simple like a traffic stop light.

Cons

Not full functional like a feature project management software. Limited capabilities for extended or complex planning. Calendaring timeline is super basic.

Pros

Which I found very useful and important for my business is that you are able to see what people are doing on a big and complete calendar. We are a small business with 5 workers, so it's very helpful to see what each person is doing and needs to do in the future. It's also very friendly for a design or marketing company.

Cons

I found it a bit expensive, since is very similar as Trello and you can use Trello for free to a certain point. If you are able to pay for each person, I find Monday very useful and I think you won't regret to use it for your business.

Pros

monday.com (formerly dapulse) is very helpful in share files, images and project management. with this tool we can easily track tasks. very nice user interface and good functionality.

Cons

it seems fair to say that this solution is one of the best. This would be one of the features I would suggest them looking into.

Pros

Love the look and feel of the platform, and the app is also very smooth. Has columns like spend and channel built in. Free trial.

Cons

The boards are templatized, I didn't see an easy way to collect all info by client. Isn't a value/freelancer level plan so someone with low initial revenue may be better off starting in a different platform or tracking manually.
