Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Monday is an excellent tool for staying organized, team collaboration, and communications. I use Monday for team communication and collaboration, it is a great tool to keep everyone on the same page and updated about project advances. Automations are a great way to notify everyone, for example, when a task is complete, it can be programmed to send a message to let everybody know about it.

Pros and Cons

Kanban boards works like a charm.
Automations are very useful for sending messages.
Notifications keep everyone in the loop.
Different project views are very useful to track activities.

Creating teams can be a little tricky.
The App sometimes is a little computer resource demanding.
Menus are not as intuitive as I would like.

Return on Investment

I can communicate better with my team members.
Monday helps me keep everyone in the same page.
Highlighting project advance is very easy and motivating.

Usability

I use Monday very often and I like very much how you can create tasks, assign them and follow project progress using canvas boards, Gantt diagrams, or timelines. I have a hard time adding people to specific projects because first, you have to add them to a workspace and then to the project. I understand that this could be due to security issues, but I would appreciate an easier way to add users to my projects.

Support Rating

Each time I needed support the response has been really fast and friendly. I have only contacted Monday by email and It has worked perfect for me. To be honest I never had a major issue with Monday, only small details or questions about my plan that they solved straight away.

Reliability & Availability

I never had a problem with Monday going offline or issues with connectivity. Every time I log in to work, the software works as expected and at a good speed. Visualizations always work well, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and timelines show what they are supposed to. Also never heard that anyone in my team had an issue with reliability or uptime.

Monday works perfectly for managing project work. It is a very helpful tool to communicate and track project goals. It provides a roadmap for project development and I like that it is very visual.
