monday.com

Pros

Fantastic for project management at any scale - from personal to-do lists to full fledged department planning Monday.com can do it all. It's easy to use UI and both built in and plugged-in automations really do the most to support with whatever you need across multiple workspaces.

Cons

Down-time is unfortunately higher than in the past, but it's usually very brief.

Pros

Monday is a powerhouse of templates. I loved going through to see all the options available to me and decided to edit one of the existing templates that met most of my needs.

Cons

Cost is the only thing I was bummed about. I know it is not that expensive for what you get but for a small operation like mine it was just a bit out of my comfort zone.

Pros

Great way to process and handle numerous tasks for whatever project may come up. It has the ability to hand numerous tasks and provides a great overview via the calendar view that allows you to see all upcoming tasks available.

Cons

Despite being able to create separate tasks and sub-tasks, it's hard to be able to create some slight automation or have consistent variables across the board. Instead of being able to open up a new sub-task and have the content be auto populated, like date or text, it comes up with a blank slate that you have to go in and fill manually, piece by piece. This is frustrating when you have dozens of sub-tasks that you have to go in and create individually. Also, the calendar view has some restrictions and makes it clunky to actively work on the content while in this view mode. For example, there's no way to view notes on the project from the calendar view actively so you have to go into another area of the app to access notes. This is super clunky.

Pros

Earlier this year, our agency transitioned to Monday.com to enhance our workflow and simplify our daily operations. Although there was an initial learning curve, the overall experience has been positive.

We've managed to save time when creating new tasks and preparing for our weekly management meetings, while also cutting costs by efficiently tracking project progress and boosting our overall productivity.

Cons

There is a learning curve - especially since we have an international team, and the language barrier makes it challenging to convey some of the intricate details. Also there are limitations in using the platform on the go - mobile is an issue.

Pros

As a project director, I find it effortless to navigate and efficiently manage projects with Monday.com's visually appealing and intuitive interface.It can improve teamwork for my research project by providing powerful collaboration features like file sharing, real-time updates, and communication tools.Project directors can more quickly evaluate the status of their work and spot possible bottlenecks thanks to Monday.com's visual features, which include color-coded boards and charts.

Cons

Performance problems, such as sporadic glitches or slow loading times, have been reported by some users and can reduce productivity.
Advanced time tracking and comprehensive resource management are two examples of advanced project management features that might be absent or call for extra third-party tools.
