Accelo vs monday.com

Accelo is a system that can do it all. It's extremely sophisticated. Depending on the sophistication of your organization, or specifically the abilities of the people you put in charge of the implementation, it can almost be too sophisticated. It all just depends on your situation. The more you use it, the more data you give it, the more you'll be able to see and do. It's incredibly powerful. But it's definitely not a tool that would be appropriate for smaller boutique type organizations that have only basic needs.

Just to reiterate my previous points, monday.com is a wonderful system for CRM specifically. I've also made the argument throughout this review that it is beneficial for things like Human Resources and Administrative Tasks as well, but its strengths lie within its CRM capabilities. There are multiple areas that I could elaborate on where Monday is not very useful, but monday.com was not built for those things- so that is an unfair judgment to make. Overall, I think it's a great CRM tool.

• Timing Client Work: You are able to better manage your time on your clients.
• Housing Client Info in one Area: You can view all you need for any given client in one area.

• Flexible enough to fit our processes rather than making us change what we are familiar with.
• Remote access... whether on a PC or a mobile device, it is accessible anywhere. This would have been a great thing to adopt at the beginning of the Covid Pandemic.
• If things change, or if we come up with new ideas, we can add them to our workflow rather than find out we need to start over!
• We have been using monday.com for less than a year now, and it has replaced the systems that we created and changed over the last 17 years. I don't think our old systems would have held up much longer.

• Accelo is excellent on the adaptation to its deep functionalities.
• Managing multiple project is very challenging.
• Not easy to collect multiple reports across platforms.

• You can tag people when they aren't part of a board, which means they won't see the update. It would be good for there to either be a warning that the person you're tagging isn't on the board or an automatic pop up asking if you'd like to add them to the board so they can see your update.
• The mobile app does not update in real time with the web version. It is a real struggle to constantly have them out of sync, such that I tend to avoid using the app unless I know a specific project that I want to look up and refresh my memory about. Trying to use the My Work section is basically useless on mobile because you'll have projects you completed days ago showing up as if you never began them.

Looking forward to seeing more refinement of features provided and upcoming features promised :)

It solves all our needs the exact way we imagined it. coming across monday gave us the feeling that we designed the program ourselves to work for the use cases we had in mind.

A few features could use improvements, but this is one of the best tools on the market for productivity enhancement. I have researched, used, and reviewed several analogous platforms, and none have the intuitive interface offered by Monday.com. While other platforms may offer more in the way of document development or complex management applications, Monday is user-friendly and ready for integration with other work performance tools.

There have only been 2 instances in the past year where monday.com was down.

Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")

From the beginning the Accelo team has been very invested in ensuring our success and overall happiness with the platform. The initial implementation specialists and trainers did a fairly good job of learning our company and needs, and tried to tailor the trainings accordingly. However, once we made the formal switch to the platform, meaning we no longer were using our legacy systems, we found that we had a lot of questions....and a lot of ideas and recommendations. The support team is extremely responsive and seemingly happy to receive our continual feedback. And if we encounter an issue that seems to be a system issue, they work diligently to fix it (we've actually had an engineer join a call with us to learn of the issue - and subsequently fix it)

After a quick evaluation, I really wanted to use monday.com but since its primary use is for teams and collaboration I put it aside for a while and continued to evaluate other tools. In total frustration, I reached out to their support who very graciously and quickly made me aware of how I could utilize monday.com as a freelance team of one. Quick response and I got exactly the help I needed. Otherwise, I've never needed help or support as it's super intuitive to set up and start using.

To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.

We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.

Accelo doesn't really exceed any competitors in any one area of their product, but in 2015 when we made the move this was the best option that included all the tools we wanted. However, user adoption was low in some areas due to the UI, so we scaled back Accelo and added other tools.

We used an excel spreadsheet to track our month end close process previously which created a lot of issues around only one person being able to be in the checklist at any given time. Additionally, we were unable to have excel notify us when a task we need to have completed was done, but Monday.com has completely changed that for us!

For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.

• It substantially reduced the number of systems we use to run our business.
• It reduced the need to train our staff on a variety of platforms.
• It gave us the ability to have a client-facing portal that directly integrates with our backend systems.

• monday.com has enabled our geographically dispersed team to collaborate as effectively — or maybe more effectively — as if we all shared the same office.
• The increase in productivity and accountability for our work has increased substantially since we deployed monday.com.
• The ROI of monday.com is very high.
