As a Regional Manager for Vanta, my world revolves around the concept of continuous monitoring not just for our customers' compliance, but for our internal operational efficiency as well. What I like best about Monitask is its ability to live up to this philosophy. It gives me a real-time, transparent view into what's going on with my distributed team. The screenshot verification feature is also amazing; I can see the progress of our regional retail outreach and account management without micromanaging. It's incredibly lightweight, which is essential for us because we're already running a crazy stack of security and GRC Governance, Risk, and Compliance tools.

Monitask also assists me in understanding how time is used on a broader level by my sales team, but without having to keep them in touch continuously, which has made it a lot easier to understand their activities over time. I likthe adings provided by Monitask, especially when I want to coach my reps each day.

When you work in product management for a data-intensive company, it’s all about prioritization. Striking this balance between "keeping the lights on" and new feature development was my greatest challenge. Monitask provided me with the numbers to be able to do that. I use it to see how my team’s time is spent across core responsibilities. For instance, I create projects for “Platform Reliability,” “Client-Specific Data Requests,” and “Q3 Product Roadmap.” When we saw the 40% of our time on sprint being eaten away by ad-hoc data investigations it was epiphany -- no longer a gut feel but a measure. This enabled me to lobby for a dedicated data support position. The clean, project-based reports are what I use in QBRs to show exactly how engineering investment is aligned with strategic goals.
