Amazing
Weather it’s an ap, a video game, your 6th gen performance car they all share one thing in common. Developers, design engineers and marketing experts do one thing extremely well: ignore feedback from their customers.
Monday has changed that. They have taken all of the times we said “If it could only do____” from every segment of the business world and rolled it into an ap. Somehow keeping it simple and easy to learn. There are templates for any imaginable niche. The “if this happens do _____” templates are a holy grail. The ability to quickly and efficiently switch between board layouts is even better. If you are not using Monday to track your business one of your competitors is and they are way ahead of the game. Scheduling a demo is quick, their customer support team is top notch and are always available. I encourage anyone not using this ap to schedule a demo. It won’t take you long to make the switch to Monday.Show lessGenerally great but….
There’s a lot of bugs that have yet to be fixed and some that are starting to happen as I type this message. Whenever I try to copy/paste task lists, it doesn’t always include the actual tasks so I have to redo it. The colors also glitch often and don’t show as the assigned one checked off. For example, “stuck” is red and “done” is green. When my employees check off “done” it’ll show as red and can be confusing as we’re in a quick-paced work environment and they sometimes just glance at the list to see what needs to be done. The new issue that’s developed today, is that my sub items have quite literally disappeared from the lists. It’s pretty inconvenient having to constantly edit the lists honestlyShow lessVery cluttered/confusing UX
There may be benefits to the structure of this app but it feels very over complicated to me. It’s a lot like a big excel sheet with with more icons and colors. I really wish they would consolidate the Updates/Files/activity log/info boxes/item card tabs all into one view so things are easier to track. I also don’t understand why subtasks don’t show next to the task unless you are looking at the grid of all tasks within its board. Searching is also very tough to use reliably unless you look within specific boards.
My company used to use Asana and it was much simpler to the point that I would use it for my personal freelance work and scheduling. I think it lacks certain analytics that Monday does have, but for simple task tracking, Monday falls short.
Also, naming an app after a day of the week, when a key function of the app is organizing dates, makes no sense to me and adds so much unnecessary confusion.Show less
