Question 1

Is Monival a data collection tool?

Accepted Answer

No. Monival is a monitoring and evaluation platform. You manage indicators and logframes or results frameworks, track targets against actuals, tie grants to the results they fund, and report and learn from the evidence. It includes its own offline mobile app for collection, but it is designed to sit above data collection, not to be one more survey tool.

Question 2

Who is Monival for?

Accepted Answer

Primarily non-profit organisations that answer to donors and boards. It also suits any organisation that wants to monitor a strategic plan, with objectives, indicators and targets tracked against actual results over time.

Question 3

How does Monival integrate with Microsoft?

Accepted Answer

Monival works with Power BI and Excel through its OData feed and with Microsoft Power Automate through webhooks. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integration, including grant and donor structures, is delivered by Sibasi as an implementation engagement rather than a setting you switch on. The integrations page explains what each involves.

Question 4

Can Monival work with the data collection tools we already use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Monival is the M&E layer above your collection tools. Import XLSForms from ODK or KoboToolbox, and connect other tools and systems through webhooks and scoped API keys. Contact us if you want to confirm a specific tool.

Question 5

How does AI help with M&E in Monival?

Accepted Answer

Monival includes AI capabilities that help your team deliver stronger monitoring, evaluation and reporting. Your people review and decide. Contact us for a walkthrough of what is available on each plan.

Question 6

Does the mobile app work without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Monival Data Collect app is fully offline-first. Enumerators can collect submissions, capture GPS coordinates, and save media without any connectivity. Data syncs automatically when the device reconnects.

Question 7

Can I import forms from KoboToolbox or ODK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload your existing XLSForm .xlsx file and Monival brings across your questions and choice lists, so you are not retyping an instrument. Two things do not come across — repeat groups are dropped, and conditional (skip) logic is not imported. You re-add both in the Monival form builder, so review an imported form before you send it to the field.

Question 8

What reporting integrations are available?

Accepted Answer

Monival exposes an OData feed compatible with Power BI and Excel. You can also configure webhooks to push submission events to any external system, or use the REST API to pull data programmatically.

Question 9

Is my data kept separate from other organisations?

Accepted Answer

Every record is scoped to your organisation, and every query is tenant-filtered, so one organisation's data is never returned to another. Role-based access control governs who inside your organisation can see and edit what. If your programme requires physical separation rather than logical separation, a dedicated instance or a self-hosted deployment is available on the Enterprise plan.

Question 10

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Community plan is free forever, with basic reports and up to 3 data-collection forms, 100 submissions a month and 5 enumerators. Pro starts at $3,600 a year and adds full reporting and the 360° evaluation engine. No credit card is required to start. The pricing page lists the current limits for every plan.
