monday.com Reviews

Task management needs its fair share of tools. Most importantly, it needs to provide a place to efficiently create and manage projects and tasks. monday.com delivers this and more. While it can be challenging to figure out how to use it at first, the platform allows you to set deadlines, add milestones, and prioritize specific tasks. Subtasks are called subitems, and creating them takes just a second. monday.com lets you assign tasks to more than one user, and team members are also able to reassign tasks, move deadlines, set up task dependencies, and more. Additionally, the platform conveniently creates to-do lists, accessible through the My Work tab.

monday.com gives a helicopter view of all tasks, letting you visualize your workspaces through charts like Kanban and Gantt, but also with calendars and timelines. The best part is that you can easily change the view for each task, so if you can’t find your way around with one, just choose another. It’s also possible to create a dashboard and link it to a project, which allows you to check up on the work process without opening the workspace.

Project management becomes even more seamless with monday.com’s custom workflow options, which automate parts of the working process such as setting new deadlines or notifying assignees when a dependency has been completed. Finally, monday.com creates workflow reports that it stores for up to a year.

Collaboration tools

There’s no doubt that monday.com provides a rock-solid online project management platform. However, its collaboration tools could be better. Granted, it’s possible to tag team members and comment on the work process, and the platform also keeps activity logs about tasks. Having said that, it could benefit from built-in messaging, project budgeting, and invoicing options. Plus, time-tracking is only available with the most expensive plan. On the flip side, each team member gets their own storage space that can go up to 1,000GB.

While monday.com’s platform is certainly enough to see projects and tasks through to completion, it doesn’t hurt that you can stick with your favorite apps. The online management platform natively integrates with close to 50 third-party apps. Integrations include Microsoft Outlook and Teams for more streamlined communication or Slack for notifications if you’re assigned a task when not signed in to monday.com. It’s especially useful that the platform integrates with competitors like Asana, allowing you to track Asana tasks through your monday.com account. In addition, tasks can be imported from one to the other. But the best integration is still Zapier, which boosts the number of available integrations to over 5,000.

If you’ve been using a different project management platform – such as Asana, Trello, Google Sheets, or Excel – you don’t need to worry, as monday.com lets you import projects and tasks. Finally, the platform provides templates for projects, individual tasks, and workflows.

However, the service does provide mobile apps for Android and iOS, letting you manage tasks on the go. This app offers all the same features but appears much simpler than the browser version, letting you check on tasks or create new ones. Here, too, the platform allows you to set a template for workspaces and tasks, assign tasks with just one tap, or update a task with a short comment. Confusingly, subitems created in the app are named subtasks. However, if you’ve previously created ‘subitems’ in the online platform, the mobile app will use the same term. However, this doesn’t work the other way around – ‘subtasks’ created in the mobile app will still appear as ‘subitems’ in the online platform.

Saying that monday.com allows just about anyone to try out its services is an understatement. The company’s Individual plan is free, which, interestingly, supports up to two people. In addition to unlimited project boards, free users get 500MB of storage and weekly reporting.

The cheapest paid plan costs $8 a month after each user with a yearly subscription, which provides a discount of up to 20%. It isn’t too different from the free plan but supports unlimited users with 5GB of storage for each. Integrations are included from monday.com’s Standard plan upwards. Advanced tools like time-tracking are luxuries of the Pro plan. Note that each paid plan requires a payment for at least three users, changing the initial price significantly. Bigger companies can also contact monday.com to get a custom quote for the Enterprise subscription, which offers extras like private workspaces and HIPAA compliance.

All paid plans kick off with a 14-day free trial, letting you try out the more advanced tools risk-free. It’s highly recommended to take advantage of this with the Pro plan to learn what features you truly need. Finally, all paid subscriptions are protected by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

monday.com’s support page is in a class by itself. The company has a regularly updated blog, with new articles appearing a few times a month. Blog topics include how-to guides and articles advising on project management, resource management, and so on. Moreover, the company runs live webinars four times a week and even uploads on-demand platform demo webinars in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Hebrew.
