It\u2019s a one-stop-shop for information, whether that\u2019s the vacation policy or the company\u2019s mission and values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Projects &amp; tasks. <\/strong>Notion allows you to plan, track, and do your work in a single place. It helps keep distributed teams aligned with a shared roadmap so everyone can see who is doing what.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Notes &amp; Organization. <\/strong>More than just a way to take meeting notes, Notion allows you to create many different types of content. You can then share it with others and use customized databases to manage it all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accessibility. <\/strong>Notion offers a desktop app for Mac and Windows as well as a mobile app for iOS and android so your team can access any document from anywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through its roadmap feature, Notion can display project information in Kanban board style, which is common among project management tools. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.monday.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360000700605-How-to-Build-Your-Boards-in-Kanban-Style\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kanban boards<\/a> can help keep everything organized and your team on track.<\/p>\n<p>Notion\u2019s version, with easy drag-and-drop functionality, makes it possible to reorganize as your ideas change.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23077 size-full\" title=\"Notion's Roadmap Feature\" src=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Notions-Roadmap-Feature.png\" alt=\"project information shown in a kanban board style\" width=\"1302\" height=\"772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Notions-Roadmap-Feature.png 1302w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Notions-Roadmap-Feature-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Notions-Roadmap-Feature-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Notions-Roadmap-Feature-768x455.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1302px) 100vw, 1302px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.notion.so\/guides\/this-project-management-system-connects-the-dots-for-your-product-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>So, what&#8217;s a good alternative to Notion?<\/h2>\n<p>Notion is a productivity app designed for managing knowledge, documents and workflows, and it does that well.<\/p>\n<p>But, when it comes down to fulfilling some core project management requirements, Notion struggles to offer the full functionality needed.<\/p>\n<p>Many other productivity and collaboration tools have similar strengths and also fail to meet more specialist project management elements.<\/p>\n<p>A leading alternative, that offers all this and more, is monday.com&#8217;s <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" title=\"Work OS\" href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/product\/work-os\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Work OS<\/a> platform.<\/p>\n<h2>What is monday.com?<\/h2>\n<a class=\"twitter-box\" arial-label=\"Tweet\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'targetWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=800,height=450'); return false;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=\">monday.com helps teams plan, execute, and track projects of any size.

Notion also offers Slack integration, as well as integration with other collaboration tools such as Google Sheets.<\/p>\n<p>But, working across several tools and platforms is adding to the complexity of home-working. Trying to follow multiple channels can mean you\u2019ve forgotten who you\u2019ve told what and cause issues with version control. No wonder <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SapphireVC\/status\/1308820087730704386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">42%<\/a> of companies admit the technology supporting their workspace feels disconnected.<\/p>\n<p>monday.com, however, seamlessly integrates with over 70 other platforms and tools. Unlike Notion, it also integrates with core Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel.<\/p>\n<p>With Microsoft still a default choice for many businesses, this is especially important if you might be working with people from outside your organization.<\/p>\n<p>These features are core to monday.com\u2019s appeal. It excels at bringing people together to get things done. It\u2019s easy-to-use and visually appealing, helping project managers to inform and engage their stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In summary, monday.com is brilliant for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planning &amp; organizing workflows<\/li>\n<li>Collaborating both inside and outside of your workplace<\/li>\n<li>Managing, tracking, and reporting on projects<\/li>\n<li>Integrating seamlessly across platforms and tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3>What does Notion cost?<\/h3>\n<p>Notion does have a free option, but it is only for personal use. This means that Notion remains a solid choice if you just want to manage your own to-do-list, keep notes, or plan a personal project.<\/p>\n<p>The cost rises to $8 per team member per month for businesses, which is comparable to monday.com\u2019s basic option. But, for that price, with monday.com you also get access to monday.com\u2019s 200+ fully customizable templates.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, monday.com begins to introduce its more targeted project management functionality, helping teams to successfully deliver more complicated workflows.<\/p>\n<h3>How do other Notion alternatives compare to monday.com?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>OneNote<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s version of a digital notebook, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onenote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">OneNote<\/a> allows you to write and organize notes, tag and annotate them, and then share your ideas with others. It also has a handy clipping tool that lets you save interesting web content with a single click.<\/p>\n<p>Like Notion, OneNote is a strong knowledge management tool for tackling your to-do list and organizing tasks. Also, like Notion, it lacks the specialist functionality required to effectively deliver projects that monday.com excels at.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zenkit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zenkit.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Zenkit<\/a> offers several productivity tools, including project &amp; task management and an integrated chat function. Unlike Notion, it believes different tools suit different tasks, so it provides a range of task views and ways to organize work.<\/p>\n<p>Zenkit has some great project management tools, including Gantt charts and a global calendar. But, it doesn\u2019t allow you to track time or expenses, which is useful information for project managers. Zenkit only provides training on its platform through documents, unlike monday.com, which also provides in-person, live-online, and webinar training options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.favro&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Favro<\/a> is a planning app that provides a single workspace for creation and collaboration. It has a number of task management tools, including Gantt and timeline views, and you can organize tasks across Kanban boards.<\/p>\n<p>While great for ideas and planning, Favro lacks the project reporting and tracking required to implement complex projects. It doesn\u2019t offer any templates that would make the project planning process easier, unlike monday.com, which has an extensive range. It also doesn\u2019t provide customer support by phone, which would be nice to have if you\u2019re grappling with something particularly tricky.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>With the prospect of working-from-home going nowhere fast, there are some great tech options to support teams coming together to get things done.<\/p>\n<p>But, unlike that 8am Zoom call where you can conveniently hide your pajama pants under your desk, you need to see everything when you want to run a successful project.<\/p>\n<p>monday.com gives you the clarity you need.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get organized, collaborate on tasks, or run simple projects, Notion is a great tool. If you want to plan, monitor, and implement more complicated projects, or if you need to collaborate with people both inside and outside your business, monday.com has all the functionality you need.<\/p>\n<p>Get started with our <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/templates\/project-planning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free project planning template<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-button blue-button\" aria-label=\"Get started\" href=\"https:\/\/auth.monday.com\/users\/sign_up_new\" target=\"_blank\">Get started<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>monday reviews is our latest blog series where we provide the facts about different project management tools\u2014no BS and no hyperbole needed.
