monday.com vs. Roadmunk vs. Wrike

The platform is very well suited for our nonprofit programs that serve low-income clients who need diapers, wipes, and period products. It has helped us run our programs, capturing information and allowing us to view the data for reporting purposes. The ability to filter data is very helpful by allowing us to categorize information to get a better picture of the progress of our programs.

Roadmunk allows us to configure and share customized views of our roadmaps. As a platform, it has demonstrated progress in its scalability and performance, which has accommodated the growth our team has seen over the last two-plus years. Particular strengths include configurability and customization, along with options for views, exports, and sharing with internal and external audiences.

I believe it's well suited if you have multiple jobs/projects that you need to keep organized. We work with multiple job types from print/creative to web, copy and digital ads so it helps us stay organized. I don't think it would be suitable for a company that doesn't have a lot of jobs to manage. We average over 1,200 requests a year.

• I like summary of subitems, especially with subitasks as subitems and add item tracking for each subtask it can show total tracked in parent item. Similar with other columns, like numbers, status, date.
• Dashboard features, Many kinds of dashboard view available, we can utilize on the basis of requirements.
• monday.com workform is very powerful, easily share form link when submitted it will create line item in board with provided data.
• monday.com automation is very helpful in order to automate steps with specific rules and easy setup.
• monday.com also provides integrations in order to automate processes if need to integrate multiple app together. or need to transfer data between multiple apps.

Incentivized

• Collaboration – Roadmunk makes it very easy to work and edit within a team structure.
• User Experience – The usability of the product made it quite easy for the entirety of the team to hit the ground running (i.e. very little training was required).
• Rollups – Each product line and therefore each product owner could easily focus on their particular roadmap without having to sort through the master roadmap making it highly efficient, while at the same time making it quite easy to pull all updates into one high-level document.

Incentivized

• Keeps projects on track
• Provides tools that make editing and reviewing tasks much easier
• Helps our team work effectively and efficiently despite many of us being remote workers
• Visually accessible on multiple platforms which makes it easy to do work from anywhere

Incentivized

• The desktop app for Mac seems to have a few issues with visual glitches appearing on screen, it only seems to go away when I close the tool and reopen it
• Subtasks don't show on the individual users to-do list, only main level tasks

Incentivized

• The fact that you have to add a date to everything; dates stick to people’s minds.
• Connecting bars to milestones; unclear which to use when.
• Collaboration isn’t great; can’t track changes, add comments, etc.

Incentivized

• Email alerts sometimes send too slowly.
• If you put a project on hold, it can be hard to find it once you are ready to return to it.
• Sometimes there are too many steps/tasks and the main page can get cluttered.

Incentivized

Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.

I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that. Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.

Incentivized

It's really about ease of use. I use Click-Up as well, which I really enjoy, but monday.com is a lot less complex to use. Its structure is a bit easier to understand and I got accustomed to the functionality very quickly. I have not explored enough of its functionality to comment any further but it's a really great tool for tracking progress and for capturing absolutely everything I need to save, including ideas, brain-dump, insights, continuous improvement on tasks and processes. I am lucky to be able to use monday.com as a member of my client's team.

Performance has improved meaningfully over the last 12 months or so, especially in our views that contain many roadmap items. Some challenges remain, however, particularly when changing the timeline and in scenarios of multiple users interacting with the roadmap simultaneously.

Incentivized

It does take some time and work to really understand and use it properly, but I think the accessibility to help and documentation make that completely feasible. Once you know how to use it, I find it to be very user-friendly, and have very few complaints.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

Over two years of (almost) daily usage without outages. Don't remember any errors. I give it 9 only because some Wrike plugins (for online document edit) are based on NPAPI architecture. These types of plugins are being phased out in new browsers, and NPAPI plugins are disabled by default in recent versions of Chrome so you have to do some browser adjustments when you switch browsers or move to another computer.

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?")

Incentivized

Wrike tasks loads fine, but I hate clicking files and wait for a bit of time since it is powerpoint or word, Wrike assumes I want to open those on Wrike. My suggestion is to link it to office 365 so we do not need Wrike based decoder for PPTX and DOCX

Incentivized

monday.com only really care about accounts that have 20 seats or more. While this is great for monday.com, it pushes smaller organisations to evaluate alternatives. We rate monday.com highly in our organisation because key staff have already got good experience with the application and we know we will get to 20+ seats one day. But, till then the billing model and lack of permanent enterprise features is a dread.

Incentivized

The Roadmunk team has been great to work with...whether proactive communications about new features or the occasional outage, or when we reach out to them with feature requests, assistance/support, or even license management and renewals - they are top notch.

Incentivized

Time and time again, Wrike has proved that they listen to their customers and put us first. From sales to support - they are quick to respond, encourcage community engagement and I never feel like i am callling a help center

We had staff in person provide some training

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

I love the Wrike training options. Wrike Discover has tons of courses, learning plans, certifications, etc. This is an area where Wrike definitely shines! I wish these resources were more in your face for new people, because it seems like a lot of coworkers didn't know all of this training was available to them.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

There are a lot of bells and whistles in Wrike, and not all of it is easy or intuitive to understand once it's plopped in your lap. It's easier when there are a few choice people who understand Wrike as a platform and articulate it in such a way where it makes it easy to pass it along to others in the group

monday.com feels like it offers a lower barrier to entry as well as more versatility, extensibility without becoming too complex. Atlassian is geared more for larger companies requiring a greater degree of granular controls. Both platforms have a number of integrations (though, Atlassian may have "more" because of it's marketplace and longer tenure), but monday.com may be easier to configure, though with potentially more limited functionality. monday.com definitely lends itself well to getting a business off the ground with simpler automations and the ability to grow you to the point of "graduating" to a more specialized tools.

Incentivized

Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the other Roadmunk advantages post-prioritization win out in the end.

Incentivized

Wrike's UI, combined with its low-cost solutions, has been the standout factor compared to the other options sought. They have multiple license types suited to different usage, a standout compared to others that don't leave you stuck paying high license fees for licenses you won't use to that extent.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

I’d go with a 9/10. It scales really well across teams and use cases, especially once you set things up properly. The only reason it’s not a full 10 is that it can take some effort to structure everything cleanly at the start.

• By using monday.com as an enablement tool for templated onboarding plans, we have been able to begin calculating the number of manager hours saved through our work (not defined yet).
• monday.com's reporting tools also allow us to more easily report on the productivity and output of our team since we keep up with all projects and subitems in monday.com.

Incentivized

• Roadmunk has reduced the number of meetings that product needs to attend with customers by 20-25%
• Roadmunk has eliminated a whole set of churn in our workstream management tool (JIRA) by abstracting the planning step away from the steps where we monitor work progress

Incentivized

• Allow us to plan, execute, track, and effortlessly achieve the completion of all projects before the deadline.
• Great team collaboration that enhances team productivity and efficiency.
• Provide real time project status and progress easily.
• Projects stay well organized and assigning tasks to right people is simple.
