First, the board views. Being able to flip the same data between timeline, calendar and table without rebuilding anything is honestly a lifesaver. My manager wants timeline view and I just want a table, everyone gets what they want off one source of truth. Second, the automations. I set up a few recipes like when status changes done notify the reviewer, or when a due date is tomorrow ping the owner, and it quietly runs in the background. Third, the integration with other tools. We got it talking to google drive without much fuss, and the two way sync actually works properly which I wasnt expecting cause usually these integrations are half baked.
What I liked most was the visuals. As soon as you open it you get to see where all your diagrams and flows are. intuitive drag and drop, colors etc
monday.com is great at balancing governance needs with usability as teams can customise boards to match their working styles while still being able to provide leadership with reporting visibility. The interface is intuitive enough for most teams to get started without formal training. Boards, automations, and integrations enable tailored workflows for agile deliveries, operational work, and structured projects. Commenting, tagging, and file sharing within tasks help keep conversations in context making it a single source of truth.
First, the pricing. you hit a paywall for stuff that should just be included. Time tracking? higher tier. proper dashboards? higher tier. more automation runs? same old deal. adds up quicker for smaller teams. Secondly, the notifications overload. Once you have got a few boards running, the bell becomes a nightmare. I've missed imp stuff burried under status change pings. filtering is not granular enough. lastly, the mobile app is rough man. Fine for quick checks but actual work on it is painful, columns cut off, views barely load, editing is a chore.
What I disliked most is that prices climbed really fast. Though I'm not the one paying, I'm the internal customer that gets questioned when someone has to pay. Another issue I didn't like was the confusion between templates and flows, couldn't easily replicate myu tamplates
One of the issues that we face with monday.com is that since it is highly customisable, governance can become a challenge riddled with inconsistencies if teams design boards independently without agreeing on standards.
