Considered Both Products
monday.com
Chose monday.com
It's been a while since trying Asana, so it's hard to say. I think they are very similar from what I remember, but maybe monday.com has more reporting and customization possibilities?
Chose monday.com
monday.com offer much of the standard tools and seems to be ever evolving. They seem to take feedback and constantly upgrade the tools. If all the tools are there, the differentiating factor might be the cost, any integrations you may need, and the visual "chemistry". To me, …
Chose monday.com
We chose to move from Zoho to monday.com when our company started growing exponentially. Overall, our team was thankful for the change because we were growing at far to fast of a speed for Zoho's tools to keep up with us. monday.com is a better, beefier platform with far better …
Chose monday.com
We decided to go with monday.com because they offered a free tier for nonprofits and because they are easier to use and offered additional features that we could not find on the other choices. Hands down, there was no better choice for us than monday.com.
Chose monday.com
When I arrived at my org, I was initially disappointed to hear that we used something other than Asana for project management. Fast forward just a few months, and I became a complete monday.com convert. While its organization is similar to Asana's, it's user interface, …
Chose monday.com
We use Jira, Confluence, Miro and the full Salesforce stack and it's very reliable as are the other softwares.
Chose monday.com
I would say this is one of my least favorite applications. I don't find it super user friendly due to the extreme amounts of customization. It feels like my information is in there somewhere, but I can never find it easily. I think that it looks a lot prettier than asana which …
Chose monday.com
monday.com seems to solve the issues and concerns for our marketing and graphics needs. I personally use Asana for my projects and tracking purposes and monday.com for my interations with Marketing and their needs.
Chose monday.com
monday.com is much easier to use and offers all the tools of google suite in one spot for task management. I use gsuite services still but in an entirely different way. If there is something that needs to be shared with the team or is important that I will need to refer back to …
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is the broadest scope work management software I have used. Its interface is basic and takes some getting used to, but the programming options are highly advanced and extremely effective.
Chose monday.com
I also use the other selected. But I prefer monday.com because it is more clear (visually and intuitively), and also because I have been using it for longer than the others. However, there is the price factor that must be taken into consideration
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is far more intuitive than Salesforce with it's automation features, lists are better and customizable and it makes things easier for everyone on the team.

Salesforces is a great CRM system but I feel as though it falls short as a collaborative project management …
Chose monday.com
As a developer, I have utilized the mentioned apps to integrate processes for clients, and I have found monday.com to be superior due to its abundance of features compared to others. Choosing monday.com provides enough capabilities for teams and managers to handle work in one …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is a much better tool for keeping track of tasks and assignments than MS Planner. In most situations where we used MS Planner we have switched to using monday.com instead.
Chose monday.com
The best aspect of monday.com in my opinion is the Visual Based Data Representation(s)
Chose monday.com
monday.com is so much easier to use & project-tracking is not only easy to do, but the visuals are far from complicated & make it that much easier to keep track of everything.
Chose monday.com
I feel monday.com is easier to use than the others listed. Specifically, I used to use Trello in the past and I really liked it. I even recommended others to use it but since working in monday.com, I found it has so many more features that meet our teams needs and we have found …
Chose monday.com
monday.com has the only interface that is 100% customizable, can use public and private boards, can be shared with customers, produce Gantt charts, and has THE MOST integrations "in house". The professional relationships that monday.com has established to be "on board" with …
Chose monday.com
I searched for some other alternatives like monday.com, and I also tried them. For example, I have experience with Sloneek. But monday.com just feels different. I think it beats the competition in every way. You can also use monday's free version, and it is still a good task …
Chose monday.com
I chose monday.com because of its flexibility and ability to adapt to our needs. Throughout our work, I've seen how it helps us increase productivity and efficiency, which solidified my decision.
Chose monday.com
Compared to the competition, monday.com has better control, more possibilities for use, and the price is very acceptable.
Chose monday.com
The easy of use and configuration is where monday.com has had an advantage. The ability for all our users to startup on the platform has helped to incorporate it into our enterprise environment quickly.
Chose monday.com
Actually, monday.com and Trello, although they are digital board systems, are both very different from each other. Trello is a simpler system that, although its function is also the organization of tasks, its visual system gradually overwhelms the user by "piling up" each post …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is simpler and easier to grasp, apply and navigate than Clickup, but the Clickup free version has so much more functionality available than the monday.com free / low-cost options (sorry, but it's true!).
Google tasks is really simple and I shouldn't really compare …
Stackby
Chose Stackby
Airtable is the "gold standard" when it comes to relational databases. SmartSuite is the "gold standard" when it comes to how nice a relational database can look. Stackby takes a cue from Airtable in how it delivers and interacts with data, and it offers a better cost …
Chose Stackby
Stackby was the best ROI compared to its competitors
Chose Stackby
As an Airtable user, I was glad to see an available alternative. Stackby has ticked the boxes and exceeded my expectations. They also continue to grow and improve the service, making it even more appealing and valuable. Support has also been responsive and consistent. I would …
Chose Stackby
The use case and feature set against airtable is equivalent if not better and the offer of LTD access as well as specific add-ons make Stackby the better choice every time.
Chose Stackby
We have been using Airtable so often but once your team grows it costs a lot of money, to be honest. Stackby could be a great fit for our team but of course, Airtable is a more mature tool. I'm really hoping that Stackby reaches the level of Airtable at some point one day. For …
Chose Stackby
I have also tried Ora.Pm.

Infinity has better graphical interface, but nowhere near as many features and the UI isn't as effective (i.e, moving around with keys).
Chose Stackby
Airtable - better all round than Stackby but way more expensive (actually not all round - Stackby you can actually backup unlike Airtable)

Infinity - bought this and wished we hadn't. Its data structures and terminology are super-confusing and it's really hard to set up
Chose Stackby
This is a legitimate competitor to Airtable! They are well on their way to meeting the feature set offered by this much bigger and older company. Stackby has done some amazing things with this platform, and I hope they continue their great work to keep improving and already …
Chose Stackby
I am a paying user of both Stackby and Airtable. I use both both as there are some shortcomings of both.

Airtable is more developed and useful on both desktop and mobile, whereas Stackby is not. Airtable has useful internal automations, dashboards and a huge online community, …
Chose Stackby
Airtable is more mature than Stackby and has more add-ons. I expect Stackby to continue updating the app so that will close the gap.
Chose Stackby
We chose Stackby over Airtable primarily because Airtable does not currently have the option to pre-fill default data in a cell. This feature alone is a huge time saver and allows us to skip cells that contain necessary, but redundant data.

Here, I will suggest that it is best to create employees, clients, or project reports. Easy to track with the dashboards. I did many integrations and developments. I can not list each of them here. I will say the best tool for management. I couldn't see criteria of unsuitable. But yes It will depend on the client's requirements. I will suggest it as very user-friendly tool for CEOs, CTOs, Managers, and company owners also for team.

Based on my experience, I can provide specific scenarios where Stackby is well suited and others where it may be less appropriate: Project Management: Stackby is an excellent choice for project management scenarios. Its ability to create custom databases, track tasks, assign responsibilities, and collaborate in real-time makes it highly effective for managing and monitoring project progress. CRM and Sales: Stackby is well suited for managing customer relationships and sales processes. Its customizable database structure allows for organizing customer information, tracking leads, managing deals, and generating reports. The ability to integrate with other tools further enhances its usefulness in CRM and sales workflows. Content Planning: Stackby is a great fit for content planning scenarios. Users can create databases to manage editorial calendars, track content ideas, assign tasks to team members, and monitor content performance. Collaboration features facilitate seamless content collaboration and ensure timely publishing.

Pros
  • Set stages for each task and assign people to those stages to move projects along
  • Set up automated tasks to get assigned to people and to send out notifications to Slack as well as emails to contractors to work on a project
  • Create multiple boards for projects and the ability to review tasks by date to make sure no project slips through the cracks
Read full review
  • Ability to collaborate with team members on the same spreadsheet
  • Ability to integrate multiple tools for centralized utilization (i.e. Facebook, Google Analytics, project management, etc.)
  • Ability to send SMS and messages using integration with Twillio and Whatsapp
  • All spreadsheets/databases securely saved in the cloud instead of on local hard drive(s)

Cons
  • Ensuring I have set up a Private board vs public board is not clear - it would be useful to have an additional alert when creating a board as I work with sensitive information. It will eventually be used in a team based environment but while I test the boards, they needs to be private.
  • Time tracking is clumsy, could be easier to record
Read full review
  • Implement the same views available on desktop into the mobile app
  • Internal automations (like Airtable)
  • Ability to implement and display info as a dashboard (like Airtable)
  • Polish up the formatting of formulas, inputting them causes user frustration due to the formula input cursor jumping around
  • Better intelligence and ease of inputting data in bulk i.e have the fields automatically identify what data is being input and format appropriately (like Airtable does)

Teams involved in content creation, such as marketing or editorial teams, could use monday.com to manage the entire content lifecycle. Boards might track content ideas, assignments, drafts, reviews, approvals, and publication schedules, helping teams collaborate and keep content production on track.

Usability
It's straightforward to use and simple to understand. They have tutorials on different elements of the system that you can learn. The workflow there is very intuitive, drag and drop, which doesn't require a learning curve for most people. Templates that also make things more accessible can be found.
Read full review
Stackby is overall pretty easy to use, especially if you're used to something like Airtable or SmartSuite. Some of the pages seem like near exact clones (though they put their own creative spin on things). I'd prefer a slighty fresher interface (like SmartSuite), but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the better price and great customer service.

Performance
Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")

Support Rating
monday.com only really care about accounts that have 20 seats or more. While this is great for monday.com, it pushes smaller organisations to evaluate alternatives. We rate monday.com highly in our organisation because key staff have already got good experience with the application and we know we will get to 20+ seats one day. But, till then the billing model and lack of permanent enterprise features is a dread.

Online Training
To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.

We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.

I have also tried Ora.Pm. Infinity has better graphical interface, but nowhere near as many features and the UI isn't as effective (i.e, moving around with keys). Grist has a much more technical interface and it comes from being more of a database/interactive spreadsheet vs Stackby. Grist has much more functionality in terms of formulas, but is much harder to learn to use and less other functionalities. Ora.PM is more of a test at a task management app, and doesn't compare - Stackby is much better.

Scalability
For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.
