2) Customer support is pretty good
What do you dislike about the product?
1) Many formulae are different from Excel and I often have to google the equivalent formula in Smartsheet.
2) Hard to collaborate in real time because saves are required to update sheets. Would be great if smartsheet could autosave in real time like Excel on sharepoint.
3) Sometimes the answer to questions when I reach out to customer support is that I need to pay extra for a different type of license or a custom-made tool.

Review on Smartsheets
What do you like best about the product?
I like the functionality Smartsheets has to offer. It helps me stay organize and easy to track and determine my sheets, reports, dossier, etc. it does of has everything within a sheet- a one stop shop.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be frustrating for new users to understand the full potential of Smartsheets. Having more visuals and videos on how to create reports, dossiers, dashboards would be beneficial. I like to make new dashboards but not having the proper tools or examples was time consuming and frustrating for me, I can only imagine this being the same case for others who are new to Smartsheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can have all my sheets in one location. I can tell right away what each sheet is and whether they are a report, dossier, dashboard, etc. I am getting to learn a platform that will help me become a better project manager, manager, but also learn to work with other application groups/members on projects to have success implementations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be greatto have more visuals and videos when it comes to creating reports, dashboards, etc.
I enjoy using Smartsheet and would recommend to others
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to colloborate with teams. It's to keep track of multiple projects and their deadlines. The dashboard feature is one of the best feautures for project collobrartion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the way the report sharing is set up. Specifically when it comes to having multiple sheets to create one report and sharing the report with others, but if that person isn't shared to the original sheet, they won't be able to see the report data. Also forms not being able to separate answers by columns instead of rows is annoying, submitting the same form multiple timese to capture the same data in separate rows makes it less likeley for other's on the team to fill out the form for our specific team needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration. I enjoy the automation features, it makes using rules and conditional formatting very easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's worth the investment for team collobration anad productivity, however there is a very sharp learning curve and a bigger one if the team consists of older people who aren't tech knowledgable.
I have been a Smartsheet User for at 8+ years and it has been a very valuable tool for my business!
What do you like best about the product?
The main thing that drew me to Smartsheet and it best feature in my opinion is how I can customize and control the multi-user expereince with my team. It has really helped my team and I steamline our communication and work flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have any dislikes about the features or system istelf. They have continued to grow and improve the features and I have not taken the time to learn many of the new features so I feel like I am way underutilizing the software but I am still paying the full subscription fee.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run a real estate team and I was looking for a online solution to manage our team leads and for a place for the team to be able to work on their leads and give me real time updates without having to mirco manage the team. I found and built that out in Smartsheet many years ago and it continues to fill the need to this day!

Great Product - Intuitive to Use
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Microsoft Office for over 20 years. This product is built on that familiar platform and is intuitive to use. I chose Smartsheet because I wanted to facilitate project management to a broader scope in my workplace and Smartsheet was far cheaper to deploy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a down-side to Smartsheet. The online help forums and templates make it very easy to implement new activities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management, as a whole, and reaching a larger audience are the key features of our use of Smartsheet. We have looped our vendors into using these tools to interactively provide updates to our purchase and project status'. We are quickly learning how to add our own content to the great start we had with the product launch session. The recording of those initial sessions and follow up material can be shared with others in our organization and that is a great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid to push the boundaries of who would interact with the product. We make great use of forms to solicit information and this has increased the number of people wanting/willing to be part of the process. It's been a great success for us thus far.
