Overall Satisfaction with monday.com
- To be honest, I'm not sure I've used it enough to provide valid feedback with respect to this question yet. However...
- I can see where it will help prevent missed objectives.
- I can see where it will help us keep things moving in order.
We chose Monday as a tool to use in managing the visibility of our projects for others across the company, and also as a way to keep projects better organized within our own department. Most of our projects are industrial equipment or process modification related and more technical in nature (i.e., not marketing style).
Pros
- I like the ease of web based access and its ability to interface with other pieces of software.
- Allow outside contractors a controlled method to interface with their parts of the projects.
- Mobility features are available and we are not tied to a pc.
Cons
- While monday.com is easy to use, I haven't found a lot of instruction that is oriented toward our type of usage, which has hindered getting up to speed on with it. This would be industrial type maintenance projects, with many end users being maintenance type technicians.
- Work on adding features that are more geared toward skilled trade oriented individuals as users.
- Add an option to have an optional email tied to each user, this would be huge!!!
So far this seems great. It is always there and ready when needed! However, in our world and level of technology today, this is my expectation for most programs.

monday.com & Collaboration
My department has not delved into this functionality very far yet, but this was one of the primary reasons we began looking for project management style software such as Monday, as why we ultimately chose Monday. However, I do know that other department are successfully using it to do this and very happy with the results.
6 so far.
As I've mentioned, my reason may be highly related to my level of usage and familiarity with the software so far. My impression is as I've said 2 fold:
- It is very capable and we made the right choice when looking at balancing all the requirements of what was needed.
- I am accustomed to using software that is written by people whose job happens mainly outside of the office from a contextual standpoint, and superficially so far I think it may need some focus here. I.e., like a couple developers need to spend some time tagging along with a real world ground level user.
monday.com Training
- Online training
- no training
Somewhat. I wish I had someone who does what I do walk me through the software.
