It ensures that nothing gets lost in emails or scattered across random spreadsheets.

What needs improvement?

Essential for Editorial Workflow Clarity and Team Coordination
What do you like best about the product?
As the editorial director overseeing several magazine titles, each with its own unique versions and publishing schedules, I rely heavily on monday.com. We use it to monitor every page via dedicated boards and carefully structured workflows. This ensures there is always complete clarity about the status of each page and the next steps required. It keeps my fully remote, international team coordinated and prepared to move forward efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
We organize our boards by using multiple groups to separate different editions. However, when it's time to refresh the boards for a new year, the manual task of setting up new groups on the same board for the sake of continuity ends up being more time-consuming than necessary (duplicating several groups at once would be helpful, as well as being able to move several groups at once from one board to another). I'm hopeful that the newly integrated AI tools will help streamline this process in the coming year.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work Management helps my fully remote, international team stay coordinated and meet deadlines, even as we juggle several projects at once. By setting up shared boards with our magazine partners, we increase transparency and ensure that all communication related to a specific project is centralized. This eliminates the confusion of searching through email, text, or Slack to find important messages.
Flexible platform with room for improvement in reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Getting started is simple thanks to the prebuilt templates, and you can easily customize them to fit your specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting. It offers some chart types but not feature-rich enough to create an executive summary.
Templates often contain features/data types that aren't included in the basic plan. I dislike being charged extra for numerous small features. Monday refers to these as "power-ups" and "apps" in their marketplace. In my opinion, time tracking is a fundamental feature for any work management tool and should be part of the standard plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project collaboration is made easier with a unified platform that provides a single perspective for tracking project progress. Having one place to monitor everything helps keep the team aligned and ensures everyone stays updated on the project's status.

Additionally, I introduced monday Work Management to all my colleagues, which reflects my satisfaction and trust in its capability. The initial setup was smooth, confirming its user-friendly nature, and I find the integration with WhatsApp beneficial for staying organized and connected.

The straightforward initial setup also adds to the overall ease of use, making it a seamless addition to our existing systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the dashboards in monday Work Management could be more customizable. They currently lack the flexibility needed for more complex data analysis and presentation. Additionally, the absence of advanced data cleaning features limits my ability to refine and manipulate data effectively. More sophisticated graphing options that can handle multiple data sets are also needed to better support comprehensive reporting and visual analysis.
