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 …

We have found it easier to use with better functionality that all of the similar products we have tried.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

For content marketers, I would 100% recommend Monday.com. Applications like Trello are OK for basic tasks, but I think Monday is superior when you're running campaigns alongside regular content plus ad-hoc tasks (or have more than one product to market). I can see it working well for different scenarios, like sales, customer service, and finance, but I can only speak for my industry.

I think Slack works really well in office settings, or even for any group of people who need an easy way to communicate with each other through organized channels. It may not be the best for those who intend to use it as a social media type app, it is more geared towards business use.

Pros
monday.com
  • I love that I can color-code sections/folders (I love color-coding!)
  • I love that I can automate the majority of things on Monday
  • I love the support I'm able to get when I don't know how to do something specific, I set up a call and get tips/tricks on how to accomplish what I'm wanting

  • Automated Notifications: Integrated tools like Jira, Trello, and Google Drive to receive automated notifications and updates directly in Slack, improving visibility and efficiency within the team
  • Message Encryption: Slack encrypts the messages in transit and at rest, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive information and making our IT team's life much easier.
  • Reminder Bots: We used Slackbot to set reminders, automate follow-up actions, and provided information based on user queries.
  • SurveyMonkey Integration: Integrated our Slack with SurveyMonkey to distribute surveys and collect feedback from team members, streamlining the feedback-gathering process which was a huge support to our HR and Admin team.

Cons
monday.com
  • The billing model is awful for small businesses! monday.com makes you feel like they are doing you a favour. You literally pay for seats you don't use. The billing model should be a per seat model!
  • There are too many addons from monday.com and 3rd party vendors that you have to pay for. The value of those addons is debatable are often rebuildable outside of monday.com in a single use spreadsheet (which pay monthly for an addon that you only need to use once in a while?) or organisations are already using something else in their tech stack for that addon.

  • The only thing I can think of is that it is easy to create too many channels. This has more to do with the team using Slack and less to do with Slack itself. maybe some direction on Slack's part on how best to utilize channels would be helpful.

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.

As useful as Slack has become within our company, I feel fairly confident we will continue to use Slack as a communication tool. They continue to improve their software and add value to its use within our office. Customer service delivers, which is an absolute must. Looking forward to how they improve.

Usability
monday.com
monday.com enables quick creation of a basic project plan. In our office, we don't need a big, expensive Project Management System. We need a simpler, human-usable Work Management System. Most recently, monday.com added the four Predecessor Types to their Dependency feature. FS, SF, SS, FF are now part of monday.com's Dependency offering. This was my most-needed update, and monday.com provided it! I appreciate monday.com's rich library of Templates. However, my preference is to duplicate a useful project/board, then update it for my next project.

As long as you use the basic chat features and nothing more, it really is super easy to understand and use. Once you want to take advantage of some of the more advanced features and capabilities, that's when things get complicated. Anyone who has use SMS or a chat program before will be able to figure out the basics though, so rolling this out should be relatively straightforward and not required exhaustive training. Teaching chat etiquette is something else though.

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. 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.

Return on Investment
monday.com
  • My favourite example? We used it to take a failed start-up, one where the prime investor was considering pulling out - to being a listed business (EURONEXT) within 18 months. That business now has a market cap at around $200m.
  • Turnaround of a struggling health tech venture that was buried under endless spreadsheets by its investors - from loss-making to £2M EBITDA in two -years.
  • Offshoring - Through the adoption of Monday as a key workstream management tool (moving off JIRA) we were able to reduce resource costs by over £2m per annum, without any change in efficiency or quality.
