Everyone at webdew is very helpful, and we've had quite a good flow when it comes to giving and getting feedback using the Monday board.

I've been working mostly with Sandeep from Webdew, and we've had quite a good flow when it comes to giving and getting feedback using Monday board.

When I first started at Guide, there were a couple of problems with Webdew, but after some online meetings and correspondence, we were able to address those issues, and they have shown great improvement since then.
