How airfocus and Monday compare:
airfocus
Monday
Product-specific platform
Product managers do more than just creating roadmaps. They also manage discovery, gather feedback and so much more which is why they need dedicated product workflows that support all the different tasks they perform. airfocus is a product-focused platform which has a variety of dedicated PM apps to help solve specific product problems instead of development problems. Essentially, everything you need to do for product is in one place.
Monday is a generalist tool that focuses on providing templates and solutions for a wide variety of end users, including HR, marketing, sales, and project management. While it offers flexibility, it doesn't specifically catered towards product teams, and will fail to scale in the long-term.
Scalable platform
airfocus is a product management specific tool offering features that help product teams create product workflows.
Monday includes a variety of different tools, but connecting these databases takes time and effort. The tool cannot be easily handed over to someone else or managed by several people, which can result in poor management and scalability.
Outcome-based platform
Product management is about discovery, outcomes, and solving customer problems. airfocus is designed to help you with apps and integrations dedicated to those specific responsibilities.
Since Monday.com is more of a generalist tool catered more towards project mangement, their product management component is very basic.
Collaborative prioritization / Priority Poker app
Priority Poker is an interactive, collaborative, and inclusive way to prioritize as a group and make decisions in the most time-efficient manner.
Monday does not offer Priority Poker or inclusive prioritization.
Advanced feedback management
Use the Insights and the Forms app to gather and centralize feedback in order to inform product discovery. With both apps, you can also connect the feedback you receive to your product backlog so that you can make informed decisions.
Monday does not offer forms or any features for feedback management making it difficult to make informed decisions.
