monday.com

Very friendly software! Very go with the flow type of personality.

Comments: My overall experience with Monday.com was a surprising one! It hooked right up with four other programs we use every day . Creating different groups for specific teams within the company was super easy. Video calls with webcams were built right in and sharing files with others within the conference calls did not create any issues at all.

Pros:

Monday.com is a very friendly project management software. It made juggling tons of projects at once super easy. We used it alongside our trusty Google sheets to keep track of everything, and it even worked with Word so we could share and edit documents all in one place . Monday.com had a color-coding system that helped us see which projects were super important and which ones could wait a bit.

Cons:

The software is great; itt can be a bit too much for a beginner. It seamlessly opened up the door to other software applications creating curiosity. We had to have programmers on staff to integrate the software at times. There's no real AI assistant to give you an idea of how the different software would work or how they would affect your projects

Marketing and work tasks

Comments: Overall very positive, I use it daily to manage my tasks and monitor campaign performance. I have used it for a few years now and in the begining I would face a few bugs that would prevent me from using as much. But within the last 6 months, I've noticed a huge improvement and really enjoy using the platform.
I don't experience bug issues and even if I do, when raised with the support team, they are fixed very quickly.

Pros:

I like the dashboard feature where you can bring data from different boards and compare campaign performance. Having a visual representation of the data is very helpful in understanding and implementing positive changes. Also, the AI chat bot is insanely accurate in getting you to the right resources or even solving your issue there and then.

Cons:

Although there are so many automations available, I can sometimes spend a long time finding the correct one I want to use and it can me a sort of trial and error. Maybe I just need to spend more time learning how they work etc.

Powerful, but maybe too much

Comments: Used to love it, and was easy to get other users engaged, but now it’s an uphill battle

Pros:

Facilitates simple project tracking tools

Cons:

Got overly complex in its quest to integrate with everything and to displace other tools

Not right for us

Comments: Ok but basic for our needs as an agency. I think it's more suitable for very small businesses or scenarios where deep detailed resourcing/planning are not needed.

Pros:

Visual style of project management was friendly and somewhat intuitive to use.

Cons:

Generally I would say it feels like little more than a pumped up spreadsheet, if you were skilled enough almost all of the project management could likely be housed in Google Sheets or Excel. Lack of capacity management options also a major drawback.

The Do It All Software

Pros:

The customization and ability to have different functions of the business under one platform. It helps all the departments

Cons:

I don't like the lack of customization of appearance
