monday marketer

Project management and organization for the rest of us.

Comments: We have tried MANY project management platforms and for us to select monday.com says a lot about the product. We have a varied group of individuals within our marketing department using this tools to coordinate everything from our detailed printing requests, web and online projects to translation flow (very difficult to manage due to the many contributors involved in this process.) Monday.com makes all of this convenient and easy to follow.

Pros:

Its incredibly easy to create a work flow or "Board", add participants and follow the progress of many tasks with ease. We can attach any supporting files or materials needed to each post and tag a specific user. Email and desktop notifications alert you on any activity and there is a web based site you can go to or the even better desktop and mobile app versions.

Cons:

One of the few cons i can think of is the absence of a "repeating or scheduled task". I know there are ways around this but it seems like something that should be native to it.

Alternatives Considered: Azendoo

Reasons for Choosing monday marketer: I believe it was mostly a pricing issue at the time but once we used monday we liked it better.

Switched From: Azendoo

Reasons for Switching to monday marketer: Pricing and features.

Can’t work without it

Pros:

Such a simple way to keep complex projects and tasks organised. Visual and UX components are so well thought out. Super easy to setup new boards using templates to cover just about every conceivable work scenario.

Cons:

To get the full benefit of automations you need to take a higher plan. Be good to have some automations on the lower plans. The thing is you dont know how much you need them until you have them in place in a trial and then your trial ends 😉

Alternatives Considered: Asana

Reasons for Switching to monday marketer: I’ve used Monday since it was depulse and every time I have to use trello or Asana I have to stop the company I’m with use of and convert them to Monday. Hands down the best option out there

The Software You Need to Manage Your Business Social Media

Comments: This software has helped our business to grow to the size that we are today. Benefits started to be realized from just a few days after it was implement. We recommend it!

Pros:

Social media is one of the most important asset for our business as it represents the main source of revenue since most of our products are sold online. Behind the success of our business, there was monday marketer. This software has helped us to manage our social media content efficiently and effectively. The software has helped us to plan ahead and communicating the information to all employees. The benefits from the software are much greater than its costs.

Cons:

The software can maybe be a bit more user friendly to navigate through so that less technically knowledgeable people can understand how it works faster.

Alternatives Considered: Swoogo

Reasons for Switching to monday marketer: We saw this software as a more appealing software due to the extensive range of features.

Complex or complete?

Comments: Clever marketing brought us here, and so far the depth of the product has lived up to the hype. Monday's development is moving a good direction - if they can wean users off of email they might help me get more team buy-in. All said, if you have a strong, vocal PM that won't accept any deliverables that didn't go through the software, this may be all that is required.

Pros:

We chose this for the depth of the product, the vision of the company, and the support system. I am quite happy with the product for the time being - options, configurations and communication tools abound, and the different ways of visualizing project data are extremely helpful and open our company to opportunities.

Cons:

I have used an immense variety of project management software in my time, and all bring something to the table. Monday brings everything to the table, but the table gets too full. The sheer complexity of the offerings has kept many of my users away, and often I am in the position where I am attempting to rope members back into the software in order to not have to duplicate my reporting. Intimidated by the product, they fall back to inundating the team with email. I don't quite have a picture of how I can fully build out dozens of client folders, each with 10+ boards, each board with 4-5 groups of 1-+ "pulses" each, without anything falling through the cracks, and still knowing that progress is being made. This may be an educational thing on my part.

Alternatives Considered: Avaza, Trello and Asana

Reasons for Switching to monday marketer: We chose it for the depth, and the spreadsheet-style pulses.

If well configured and maintained, the perfect companion to manage your projects

Pros:

Monday.com has so much customization and integrations available that it covers all the need of a project manager. I've used it as a Marketing Manager and now as a Product Manager and even if the needs are different, the ease with which one can customize the dashboards makes it an ideal application. Integrated into a team, monday.com shows all its usefulness with the possibility of assigning tasks and thus managing all business activity.

Cons:

For this kind of application with many features, the administrator must make sure to set up a configuration that suits the whole team and also raise awareness so that the team keeps the application up to date.
