Overall Satisfaction with monday.com

I use monday.com for EVERYTHING! Daily tasks, collaborative projects, requests from team members, onboarding new hires, 1:1 peer coaching, event planning... you name it. monday.com allows all of my work to be transparent to all at our organization, and it also saves me and our people leaders hundreds - if not thousands - of hours per year through templates and automations. monday.com is my favorite tool!

Pros

  • Automations to move/fill items without much manual work
  • Working from templates to keep things moving quickly
  • Tagging/pinging others to increase transparency and communication
  • Bright/warm colors and easy navigation to create a pleasing user experience

Cons

  • Honestly, just price. Our technology team hounds us all the time about the price of monday.com and would prefer us to use something cheaper.
  • 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.
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.
Our CSM is very responsive and has helped us promptly when we needed her. Additionally, the few times I've needed to use their Help Center and "contact us" bubble have yielded quick and helpful resources/responses.
I addressed this in a previous question, but the reliability/uptime is unmatched. For a program this bulky and with so much going on in terms of automations and connected boards, you would expect some occasional hiccups. I don't remember the last time we had one.
When I arrived at my org, I was initially disappointed to hear that we used something other than Asana for project management. Fast forward just a few months, and I became a complete monday.com convert. While its organization is similar to Asana's, it's user interface, automation, and support blow Asana out of the water. I have received so many compliments from new hires about the onboarding experience, and I believe that's a testament both to the decision to use monday.com and the way we've built the program within.

Do you think monday.com delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Did monday.com live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of monday.com go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy monday.com again?

Perfect for project management, daily tasks, onboarding new hires, certification programming, cross-functional work, and event planning. Probably not as suitable for technology teams who live in Jira and would prefer to keep things there.
