Things that work well on monday.com:

A single person's To-Do list if they have multiple project with various timelines to keep track of.
A small team keeping track of their activity/Managing a small team.

Things that would probably not work well on monday.com:

A single person with not that many tasks to complete or with repeating tasks (monday.com could do it, but it's not that necessary).
Might not work for a very large team (could get very complicated and hard to use), but I don't have experience using it for this.

Surveys and Forms via the "Forms" function: Creating surveys (anonymous or not) and forms (with or without required fields) for data collection that automatically organizes the inputs in columns that are easy to export to excel.
Automations: You can build in reminders, via text or email, to individuals at any frequency. You can literally build out an entire workflow through automations. While it may take some thought and a little time on the forefront, the efficiencies it builds in over time is quickly made up.
File housing / control: There's a "file" capability that allows you to attach a file to a line item, which helps with the most recent file housed in one place where the current status or updated date column can be notated alongside it. Again, truly customizable to your business need.
Communication: There are many ways to openly communicate and "ping" but you can also build in automated reminders that are customized messages based on the specific project/need. So it's not your typical canned "monday.com reminder, click here for more," it's "-- Kelly needs your feedback on by EOD today. Please update status to "reviewed" when completed." Little things like this go a LONG way when you're targeting a specific audience for a precise need.

Need to improve in the way it shows project development in time: Gantt chart, schedules, etc.

Automations should reflect who the item / pulse was actually created by, not who created the monday.com instance or the automation itself.
It would be great if we could use the tool to manage timesheets for our team.
The reports and dashboards could use a little more flexibility / functionality.
Automations should be expanded to include Microsoft Exchange users, not just Outlook and Gmail users.
Would be great if we could better tailor how email notifications look.

Before all, monday.com is an intuitive tool. Everything is well signaled, and colored. All the tools available are easy to deal [with] and just one click [away] from using it properly. Monday.com has an easy way to allow improvement in boards without interrupting the workflow of your team. The easy-to-use interface is the strongest point of monday.com.

The training we received from monday.com was amazing - our trainer really dug deep to see what our true needs were. During this training period, we had many questions that customer service was quick to respond to. Additionally, after we had completed our training and went full in, whenever we have had an issue or a question, the monday.com team has been extremely responsive and in a timely fashion.

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.

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!

Easy setup of project management and the tracking of projects at a glance.
We were able to customize to make it very employee friendly so adoption is high.
Once we were able to set up templates, the time it saves to get a project up and running is just minutes compared to hours!
