Chose monday.com
I didn't use Asana that much, and I kind of liked it, but the visuals of Monday.com are just way more appealing. Also, I found Monday's customisation and adaptability stronger and easier than Asana's.
Chose monday.com
I feel monday.com is easier to use than the others listed. Specifically, I used to use Trello in the past and I really liked it. I even recommended others to use it but since working in monday.com, I found it has so many more features that meet our teams needs and we have found …
Chose monday.com
The best aspect of monday.com in my opinion is the Visual Based Data Representation(s)
Chose monday.com
Trello is a lot harder to use; it has fewer integrations and becomes quite messy quite quickly You are forced to use only the available formats and cannot change to suit your needs, etc. It is a very basic tool in comparison to Monday.com. We struggled quite a lot to get on …
Chose monday.com
Airtable served us well for data management. However, our senior management told us Project Managers we would no longer be using Airtable. monday.com serves us well with project management AND light-weight database usage.

Workfront served we Project Managers very well. However, …
Chose monday.com
We have found it easier to use with better functionality that all of the similar products we have tried.
Chose monday.com
Although monday.com costs more than the other services, it can handle more as a platform. The functions, features, integrations, and automations allow you to do so much more than, than just keeping track of project & task deadlines.
Chose monday.com
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 …
Chose monday.com
Monday is much easier to use and learn. So far everyone has figured it out just by using it or after watching a brief training video. Most other tools have parts that we wouldn't use or be just too complicated for the average user. We feel with Mondayulse we are not struggling …
Chose monday.com
Monday.com's layout is closer to a spreadsheet, and has better features to categorize and search data. I can go deeper, adding more and more insight to a task, than I could with a card, even when I used premium add-ons. I couldn't get a good grasp on what was going on with Asana
Chose monday.com
monday.com has proven to have all the elements that define being well organized in short to medium term projects. The position of this software with respect to Trello is largely rigid, it cannot be compared because monday.com has many more features that make it a powerful tool …
Chose monday.com
There really isn't a platform that we have used like Monday.com! Before, we were tracking all of our changes in Dropbox or in email or by personal notes. Now, we are not only able to see the shows that are coming up, but we can also update things on Monday instead of having to …
Chose monday.com
Monday.com has a lot of functionality and visibility that the other tech we've used did not. the notifications and ease of adding new tasks and projects are also better than the other tech we have used.
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is overall a better program that is much more visually appealing. It's easy to use as well and couldn't see using another program at this point.
Chose monday.com
Selecting dapulse was a mistake. It was simply due to its simplicity and self-explanatory processes but ended up not providing the complexity we needed and had bugs and bad support who wouldn't respond to concerns and would spend time fixing other things that aren't necessary …
Chose monday.com
DaPulse provides a better user experience than Trello, in my opinion. The previously stated benefits of ease-of-use and at-a-glance visuals are far better. It also provides better tools for collaboration and project tracking.

Asana is not as user-friendly and requires more setup …
Chose monday.com
In the past we have used Harvest as an organizational tool, while we still use it for budgeting, Dapulse is a much more user-friendly interface for organization.
Chose monday.com
We only used it to give the reporting some format, having to pay for just one nice reporting capability was not enough. We'd rather use an xls with the same conditional formatting and keep the updates on Slack.

Chose Slack
Because with monday you can only handle your tasks and manage them while with Slack on top of that you can have a one-on-one conversation with your coworkers, you can schedule different uses and you can include apps so you have everything in one app. I'm happy using Slack for …

Much easier to create and organize channels. Easy to see and be notified of different slacks coming in. Lots of integrations! Slack is my one-stop shop each morning to see what I have going on - monday.com, Zoom, Outlook Calendar, 15Five
Chose Slack
I see monday.com as a more task-oriented platform where I see Slack as a more chat/communication platform. Both have strengths and weaknesses, but we much prefer Slack for our internal business communications. Slack also is more popular with gamers, which monday.com doesn't …
Chose Slack
Slack has almost has the feature you need. monday.com only focuses on tracking the progress and status of orders or tasks, while Slack has it all. Aside from tracking and scheduling. You can also manage your file documents and easily communicate with your team.

A lot more user friendly and doesn't feel as corporate of a tool to use, in a good way.
Chose Slack
For internal/team communications, Slack is by far the best app I've worked with. The channel system is very simple yet very intuitive. As a result, the app is extremely easy to get familiar with and use daily, even for members of our team who are not very tech-savvy. Slack is …

We didn't evaluate any other platforms. We decided to move forward with slack and haven't looked back.

Slack has features beyond messaging that make it unmatched. Slack makes it easy to find older conversations even if you aren't part of a channel—very good sync-to-device from PC and mobile apps. To send an email,
Chose Slack
I believe sending an email is definitely a more professional form of communication. Slack is more like sending out a text for quick responses. Also, when sending an email, there are a lot more steps involved, like you need to compose an email, add senders, add a subject, etc. …

The great advantage that Slack has over Microsoft Teams is the versatility that the software it offers, something that Microsoft has had a hard time with, and that makes it an unreliable software with many problems when it comes to performance. Also, Slack does not need to be …

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.

Slack is definitely well suited according to my experience of using it for over 6 years to be the best platform to have short quick huddles and catch up sessions with your team, More especially if your work environment is a WFH set up. you can easily direct message a colleague regarding something that needs quick attention. making calls is easy and you can basically present a presentation to your team quickly and easy by sharing your screen with them easily. its basically the future

Cons
monday.com
  • 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

  • Wish I could organize my "save for later" items into folders. It would be nice to store all of the golden nuggets of information I learn. Even better if we could export it out into a word doc to turn into a real article or resource!
  • Use AI to help us find themes around topics and prepare a summary every week/end of day/month so that the entire team can absorb all conversations into one clean space

Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle.

To be more transparent, I give 10 because Slack serves our collaboration needs. It provide us a good platform for team communication relaying important update within the company, it has even mobile app where you can install in your phone to monitor any updates within that team that needs your immediate attention and intervention.

Usability
monday.com
I give monday.com a 10/10 because I almost never encounter any lag or connectivity issues despite all of the many templates, boards, and automations we have. As a matter of fact, I feel like the last issue I encountered was over a year ago... and I'm in monday.com every single work day. Not only is monday trustworthy, it is easy to find what I'm looking for... making the overall usability extremely hard to beat.

At the basic surface, Slack does deliver everything we need - easy to handle, easy to understand. But, as I said earlier, there are the more complex parts which demand more of us and some of them even lack information about how to be used, which is frustrating. If we could have maybe a section with instructions, or maybe if you make the features easier to use, it would be awesome.

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?")

Slack is a soft app, we don't have many issues with it. I recall one or two people complaining about something during our usage period, but I didn't have a bad experience. When the app is slow, usually the problem is with my computer or my internet. The app works just fine.

Support Rating
monday.com
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.

I've never had to contact support for Slack which is a great testament to its ease and use. Adding people outside of the organization takes a little getting used to, but ultimately allows for greater collaboration between FTE and contractors. There is no clear alternative to this software, so it's the best we can do for now.

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
monday.com
monday.com is simpler and easier to grasp, apply and navigate than ClickUp, but the ClickUp free version has so much more functionality available than the monday.com free / low-cost options (sorry, but it's true!). Google Tasks is really simple and I shouldn't really compare them - it's just really nice to be able to see my tasks right next to my Google Calendar or Gmail (widget) - the "all on one" view on the screen is really nice ease of access, but the power of monday.com outweighs the nice-to-have of an all-in-one screen layout - it feels clumsy to bring in all my Calendar items from Google to monday.com, so an integration app to the Google screen where you can see monday.com tasks would be amazing.

Slack: It's easy to strike up a chat right away with one-click calls or huddles. By simply pressing the call button, both users are involved without the need to arrange a meeting. Microsoft Teams: With calendar invites, time slot choices, and numerous confirmation processes, scheduling even a basic one-on-one meeting can feel laborious.
