monday.com Reviews for Indian Users
Monday.com makes project management easy
Comments: There are features in this platform that make your work easier, such as boards and forms are particularly useful, as they allow the entire company to keep track of work in progress and completed tasks. Overall, Monday.com makes it easy and efficient to stay up to date with all aspects of project management and team collaboration.
Pros:
In my experience Monday.com has been one of the best productivity and project management software I have used, it is very good for managing and tracking the progress of multiple projects, especially those with deadlines as it provides real-time information on the workload of each member, identifyng who needs help and who can offer it. The ease with which you can track team performance and profit streamlines the entire workflow. Of the points that I can highlight is its interface, its design is minimalist, the well crafted colors, its intuitive menus make it a pleasant platform for the user.
Cons:
While Monday.com offers effective project management and team collaboration features, the platform does come with its challenges. The initial setup can be awkward and time consuming, requiring research to customize it to your needs. Also, the automation features are somewhat limited, requiring workarounds for tasks that should be straightforward. From my point of view it lacks a better integration with artificial intelligence.
Alternatives Considered:
Best platform for managing people and the tasks they are assigned.
Comments: We have used Monday.com to give our remote workers a "homebase" for projects, tasks, client specific communication, creative editing, and overall deliverable manangement.
Pros:
The best feature Monday offers us is the ability to monitor progress on projects that require more than one team member.
Cons:
There isn't enough templates built out for Social Media management and there isn't integrations that matter in the Social Media management industry.
Monday is Pretty, But Disappointing
Comments: I have had a pretty mediocre experience with Monday.com. If you are not a project manager or are only managing the most simple of projects with minimal tasks associated, then it may work for you. But for a seasoned project manager, it will leave you frustrated.
Pros:
What I credit Monday with the most is it’s ease of use and attractiveness. If you’re not much a project manager or are easily intimidated by some of the more robust project management tools out there, you will find Monday to be very inviting and user friendly. Large icons, pretty colors, and drag-and-drop functionality.
Cons:
Monday does not allow you to turn off “weekends” in your duration calculations when it calculates due dates for individual boards. It’s either turned on for everyone, or turned off for everyone. That means that if you have teams who work weekends and others who don’t, one team type will have to adjust to these strange calculations.

Monday works wonders for project management in manufacturing
Comments: I'm very happy with the boost Monday's given us in managing our projects. We first bought it to set up shared boards for our projects, but very quickly expanded our use into shared documents, forms, notes, and more. I definitely recommend it if you need one source of truth for project management.
Pros:
I like the sandbox environment it creates to boost collaboration. We have shared boards to monitor everyone's tasks, shared documents, forms, etc. When you need a new type of document or collaborative environment, chances are, Monday will already have it.
Cons:
It's hard to start using it confidently in the beginning. I was a bit overwhelmed in the beginning by all the different modules available. It might be a bit frustrating to onboard to it if you can't spare a lot of time to learn it in the beginning
Make monday.com your first stop of the week!
Comments: As opposed to relying on Google Drive, which may get cluttered and difficult to navigate in search of certain files, we can now keep track of everything in one central location thanks to Monday.com. There was no way to record progress on a project, what had been done, work in progress, notes on strategy, etc. The most crucial information is tracked via a bespoke CRM board, a project management board, an administrative employee board, and a meeting board.
Pros:
The ability to have everything be kept in its own folder while still being easily accessible is one of Monday's best features. Among my favorite features are the ability to tag colleagues, initiate status updates, set priorities, connect to external applications, and design custom documents and templates. The inclusion of a search box is really helpful for locating content more quickly. This is fantastic since it can be used for everything from individual task management to group task allocation and project management to customer relationship management. We can get everything we need in one convenient location.
Cons:
So many options exist, and I haven't even scratched the surface! A brief tutorial or "onboarding" process before we start using the software would be very appreciated.
