In this article, we will share with you how you can empower your team to reach their business goals faster, with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever before, and create spreadsheets in monday.com.

Why choose monday.com?

One of the best things about monday.com is its ease of use. Simply create an account and start building your team’s boards and workflows. No programming or DevOps skills are needed to start. Just take the monday.com ready-to-go solution, and adjust it to your business goals. Whether you’re working on a small project with a few team members or managing a large-scale enterprise initiative, monday.com has the tools you need to keep everyone on the same page and working together towards success. And because it’s cloud-based, you can access your projects from anywhere, at any time.

One of the key benefits of monday.com is its ability to streamline team collaboration. With features like customizable boards and timelines, you can easily track tasks and projects across your entire team, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. With monday.com automations and deadline tracking, you can ensure that every member of your team is working efficiently and effectively towards your shared goals.

Why go to the marketplace?

If you need to make more complex operations like calculations, you can empower your monday.com with different integrations or marketplace apps. They will easily connect monday.com to the other tools your team relies on every day. The marketplace has loads of apps. So how do you choose the right one? And how do you add the app to your monday.com account?

Easy as it is, you need to look around for a start. Once all apps may look the same at the first marketplace visit, they turn different after a while. We suggest setting your business goals in advance so that you clearly understand what you are looking for when you’re headed to the app marketplace. It will prevent you from long-lasting listing browsing without any purpose. Instead, you can start your marketplace journey with a clear plan and save time.

Now that you know what you need, the app discovery on the monday.com marketplace turns from a chaotic action into a plan. Start with the keyword lookup using the monday.com search engine. Just type what you’re interested in, and here you have the appropriate apps to choose from.

After that, you can take the time and dive into the app details. To be sure of the quality of an app before you integrate it into your monday.com account, you can check the ratings left by other trusted monday.com users or look at the number of app installs on the marketplace. You’ll find these numbers next to the vendor name. Treat the number this way: the number of installs is equal to the number of monday.com accounts that initialized the app installation to their host. So whom do you trust more: the vendor with 500 installs or 1.5k installs? You decide!

Another thing to look at is the presence of the app appraisal signs, like Editor’s choice, Featured, or Best sellers. You’ll find those apps grouped in separate monday.com marketplace categories on the left sidebar. Another way is to look at the app marketplace page. The sign of being in one of the marketplace categories appears in the form of a respectful badge.

App ratings are also important. In monday.com, only commercial verified users can rate the apps they are using to ensure the accuracy of the app performance you can see on the marketplace. You don’t necessarily need to take the app rating for granted, as we are all humans with different expectations and business needs. Still, rating is something we definitely suggest looking at when you are reviewing the app.

Now you have a better understanding of how to differentiate between the marketplace apps. It’s high time to think of the business cases that can be better managed in your monday.com account and find the right tool for that.
