Monday.com is a highly customizable project management tool with sophisticated collaboration tools. There are many templates to choose from and they are easy to customize based on your needs. Automation is also possible with the in-app controls. The pricing can be confusing for some users.

Main Features

Monday.com is a project management tool that allows you to manage every aspect of your projects. This allows you to set priorities, deadlines and more to ensure that you stay on task. Managing a big project can be hard, but Monday.com makes it much easier to track your progress.

While this is technically a project management tool, it looks and functions like a customizable spreadsheet tool. The pages are color coded so that you can easily see a task's priority and whether it's on time or late. You will find this incredibly useful for complex projects that have dozens or hundreds of milestones to reach.

Templates

You can make an entire project from scratch, but that might take more time than it's worth. You will find many templates on Monday.com. This cuts down the creation time while also ensuring that you don't miss anything when making your project. Every template is highly customizable. This ensures that you aren't constrained by the templates, but rather liberated with all the extra time you'll have.

Finding a template is easy as well. You can search through them based on keyword or description. There is also an extensive menu with all the templates. This makes it easy to see what's available so that you choose the right one.

Confusing Pricing

Pricing can be complex and confusing with Monday.com. There are no free tiers at this time. Each plan is based on team size and tier. For example, you can buy a plan for 100 users. You might only have 70 or 80 people in your team, so you might find that you have a dozen or so licenses that aren't being used.

The price also depends on the tier. Each tier gives you a different amount of storage, unique tools that aren't available in the lower tier and number of automated actions per month. Don't be surprised if you end up paying more than you expected.

Easy Collaboration

Collaboration is very easy with Monday.com. This makes it simple to invite others to view or work on the project management sheet. Not only that, but you'll have no problem setting permissions for each user. For example, you don't want to give editing permissions to someone who isn't authorized to make project decisions. Simply toggle the permissions so that each user only gets the authorization they need and nothing more.

Pros

• Lots of customizable templates that are easy to work with.
• Simple collaboration tools allow you to invite others users and set permissions.
• The menus are color coded so that everyone quickly understands each task's priority.

Cons

• The pricing can be very confusing and complex.
