I chose monday marketer because it is easy to use.

Both Asana and Slack worked well for their perspective purposes; pricing became an issue with larger groups.

It's the first one we used and are still using it for Marketing. For me personally, I use monday marketer for social media content. I manage a team of content creators and they all have the ability to upload into the social media planner. We like the main table view as it is …

Frame.io is very very limited compared with Monday
Chose monday marketer
The UX is way better in monday.com, and the mobile version is very user-friendly as well. It is also great to quickly produce a Gantt chart and customize columns, for a 360 marketing plan overview. Objectives, KPIs, budget, etc. I am also happy with the content marketing …

Salesforce is a very heavy and slow platform that really doesn't work at all well for startups.

I binned Salesforce since it was from my predecessor and was a very poor fit and is really only good for enterprises.
Chose monday marketer
Asana was easy to use but Monday works great because of the app and also the desktop download. It is very user-friendly and intuitive
Chose monday marketer
Slack doesn't organize tasks as much as it is for chat channels. Monday is the superior tracker and organizer.
Chose monday marketer
I have not used any additional platforms
Chose monday marketer
monday marketer blows the rest out of the water. The automations and customizations allow us to set up dashboards and workflows that work exactly how we need them to. By taking advantage of the free access to the community and responsive customer support, I can always …
Chose monday marketer
Perhaps a fundamentally different tool, but while Microsoft Teams is intended as a business communication platform, I find Monday marketer a much better way to manage daily work and any tasks in a much more personalized way.
Chose monday marketer
I have currently had experience with Trello and Microsoft Teams in trying to use these systems to manage workloads. I find both lack the strong customization and easy-to-use layout of Monday marketer.
Chose monday marketer
monday marketer is much more advanced and intuitive and it encompasses all the features and adds a lot more details to the workflow planning.
Chose monday marketer
I've used Asana and prefer monday marketer. I've compared with friends who use Asana and the functionality seems to be fairly similar, but the interface of monday marketer just makes more sense to me—sort of like Microsoft vs Mac.
Chose monday marketer
For some serious processing and automation power, packed with professional dashboard reporting which showcases your work, Monday's the solution you've been dreaming about. Monday is easy to set up and use with prebuilt templates and ideas to get you started. Flexibility allows …
Chose monday marketer
For collaboration with the team, other departments as well as suppliers Monday Marketer is a more useful, efficient, and easy-to-use tool. However, since we all use the Microsoft suite, for document management and reminder management in our current tools it is easier to use …
Chose monday marketer
I like Microsoft Planner for simple collaboration in the Teams setting but I find Monday has more functionality and looks better (with color-coding, various categorizations, tagging, and status levels), you can automate actions and have all your activities in one place, rather …
Chose monday marketer
We've never tested out similar platforms.
PLANOLY
Chose PLANOLY
I have tried an AI tool called Vocable and used Google Sheets to plan my content. PLANOLY is better because of the visual grid feature. However, vocable is better in terms of the variety of content. With Vocable, we can create text content for Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin, …

User Testimonials
monday marketerPLANOLY
Likelihood to Recommend
I think monday marketer is well suited to every organization, as it helps to track the current status of work/assignments, and helps lower down the chain of email communications for work status notifications, less use of Excel and other tools as we get all WBS like features at one place. monday marketer isn't suitable for you if you want to transfer your Excel project data which uses macros or complex formulas for any data items/columns.

The visual grid feature is my favourite feature of PLANOLY as it allows me to see how my content will look before I post it. I haven`t found this feature with other social media planners

Pros
  • Tool with a very dynamic interface
  • The way monday.com notifies you when we have a message is very useful, everything is saved so we can look at it at any time.
  • The monday.com autosave offers greater peace of mind when working with cards.
  • Monday.com is a very well developed tool, with a modern design.

Cons
  • Importing Excel docs can sometimes be a struggle
  • Notifications are not consolidated. So if a teammate makes a new board and assigns me to a bunch of items, I get an individual notification of every single one
  • I like sub-items, but they aren’t always necessary so making them unremovable isn’t great

  • overall not very many points I would add for improvement

Usability
It is an easy platform to learn for new members joining the team. The useability of monday.com makes it easier to onboard stakeholders and team members, to make project management easier for everyone. Automation also makes common tasks easier by eliminating the need to focus on doing repetitive things over and over and over again.

PLANOLY is super easy to use. We just need to connect our Instagram account and start working in just a few clicks

Support Rating
I gave a 10, however, I have never needed to reach out to their support. I prefer self-led training, so if I ever ran into an issue, I was able to find a solution immediately in their knowledge base. It's insane how they have created a product-led software that really doesn't require direct support or implementation help. It's just easy. That being said, I can appreciate that there is direct support on hand if needed
Read full review
The support team was instantly responsive and were always happy to answer even the simplest software question. I knew that my clients would be in good hands should I not be available for any scheduling question through the support team. Everything was always impeccably handled in a timely manner! 100% satisfaction.

We've used Microsoft Excel for the management of our marketing initiatives in the past. Microsoft provides basic collaboration features and allows us to visualize data as we needed, but it was not a true task management system that was important for all parts of our marketing processes. monday marketer allowed us capabilities such as assigning items, setting up automated notifications based on status changes to notify business stakeholders, keeping track of correspondence for each component, and more. It was an easy selection for us.

Planoly was the most cost effective option for me and my clients and allowed us to use a grid view to see how our content would show up on the feed. Grid view was very important when choosing the software for us. It was also allowed us to schedule stories as well and some other softwares did not.

Return on Investment
  • It has saved our team a lot of time. It allows our Creatives to quickly see what projects should be on their priority list, as well as where the other elements of each project are at.
  • The update feature allows our team to have focused communication regarding different tasks. It's easy to tag in team members and ask questions, provide links to finished assets, etc.
  • Before I joined the team, they were debating whether this software was the right choice and thinking about switching. When I joined the team, I really owned monday.com and got to learn the software. I figured out ways to make my team's boards more efficient and useful, which has in turn greatly increased the employee adoption of this software. There are now best practices and processes in place regarding this platform which has made it easier for everyone - we all want to keep monday.com now!
