A good product with lots of useful features
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has been a helpful tool for our team overall. It has some great features beyond a typical spreadsheet application. I like receiving notifications when changes are made to sections assigned to me, and it's great that you can add attachments and comments to each row.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of my colleagues find Smartsheet overwhelming, so it has been challenging to get everyone on board. I initially felt the same way, but I have learned enough about it to make it work for my needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to keep everyone on the same page on multiple projects. Smartsheet allows us to assign rows to specific people and send notifications when changes are made. It is a central location where we can store information and track progress.
A powerful and customizable Project Management App with a steep learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
One of the standout features of Smartsheet is its customizable interface. Users can create and modify different sheets and templates to fit their specific needs, and the drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to move items around and adjust layouts.
Smartsheet also offers a variety of collaboration tools, including the ability to share sheets with team members, set reminders and alerts, and track changes in real time. The app also integrates with other popular tools, such as Slack and Google Drive, making it easy to incorporate Smartsheet into existing workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?
However, while Smartsheet has many strengths, there are also some limitations to be aware of. For example, the app can be somewhat complex and overwhelming for new users, and it may take some time to get up to speed on all the features and functionality.
Additionally, while the app offers a free trial, the pricing for Smartsheet can be on the higher side compared to other project management tools on the market. This may be a drawback for small teams or those with limited budgets.

Smartsheet is a robust solution for specific project management applications
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is relatively easy to use if the user is familiar with Excel. The ability to toggle between grid and card views is helpful. Access via the Smartsheet mobile app is an essential feature I use regularly. I suspect that I haven't had the opportunity to explore all of Smartsheet's functionality and appreciate that there are plenty of tutorials available for me to view when the time comes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface needs improvement to make Smartsheet use more intuitive. Functionality is a little clunky (e.g., providing others access to certain information and/or functionality is unclear). The ability to customize colors and fonts is limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Smartsheet primarily as a priority-setting and task-tracking tool. Smartsheet also provides a way for me to track RSVPs and guest preferences for small-medium-sized events (30-70 attendees).
Smartsheet is a practical tool for managing tasks across a team.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's similar to excel - it's easy to filter and to assign tasks to different members of your team and they can receive push notifications for upcoming due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I find it difficult to add additional tasks and make subgroups. Overall, Smartsheet's interface is very simple and easy to learn, but I do not find it easy to group tasks together. It could be more visually appealing and/or offer users different ways to view the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps my team of 4 manage tasks and projects throughout the fiscal year. It keeps us organized and stay on top of our deadlines. At the end of the year, we analyze our data through the data visualization feature.
Smartsheet user for 5 years
What do you like best about the product?
I like that i can share it easily with internal/external stakeholders and tag people. Also it centralizing the information vs. MS Project
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that the resource leveling options were not availalble and when the aspects were, they were not very useful. I also would like another way to ping people (perhaps through slack) on their tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me track my project plans and share them with all the relevant stakeholders (internal/external) and helping me utilize the overall gantt/dependencies/etc
Amazing product for every organization
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet helps assign tasks within the team. It is easy to give the job and get them notified. We can set the due dates.
The template feature helps in standardising organisational stuff.
The template feature helps in standardising organisational stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to request access for team members; seats are limited and require the administrator to approve the access for other team members. It would have been great if a team had been created and the request for the access could be for a group instead of typing every team member's email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our organisation, we have several teams, onsite and offsite. Also, the teams are in different countries and time zones. With the help of a smartsheet, it gets easy to keep track of tasks with very little or no communication required.
This is time (dollar) saving from the organizational point of view.

Excellent multiple use program
What do you like best about the product?
I love that there are so many uses and that multiple people can contribute to each Smartsheet. We use it as ongoing meeting agendas, task lists, and more. I personally like it better than any other programs due to the amount of different uses
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve with Smartsheet. There are so many capabilities, however, I still feel like I am not utilizing it to it's full potential. It would be great if it were a bit more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is making it easier for our team to collaborate and work through projects together. It keeps us organized and holds everyone accountable since the task list is visible for everyone to see.
SmartSheets - Perfect for Excel Users
What do you like best about the product?
Our company was built on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets but lacked the structure to keep us organized. Smartsheet has closed that gap. Communication has left our outlook and is stored next to each item with a review process that creates accountability.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are little formatting things that can be improved upon. A few things are a little complicated to set up that I hoped would be easier. On a few occasions, I would like the info to be exported into excel so the data could be manipulated and pushed back with changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An organized approach to managing data. The ability to review files and sign off with approval has been a big help. Getting all communication out of your email into one stored and organized space has been a game changer. Also the ability to allow outside people from your organization to review and connect on projects.
Good if you know excel
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create a list, commands and actions are very similar to excel. Easy to download a report of your sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to create automations. Hard to search for automations when you don't know what to look for. It would be good to have suggested actions pop up for automations and options to duplicate that automation throughout the sheet. For example, I have a large project sheet that relies on dates and data pulled from another department's sheet, if I do not manually link it each time, nothing happens. For a company like ours that runs 300+ projects a year, that part is extremely tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to combine all projects on one sheet with alerts for users. Although it is limited, it is a feature google sheets didnt offer.
Long time Smartsheet user
What do you like best about the product?
I like the collaboration features. It is very easy to collaborate with team members and send custom notifications or updates. I like the project timeline feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
When Commenting on a row, I want to be able to use text features in the comment (ex: Bold, underline, alternate colors. I want to be able for formal specific words or text within a cell, without formatting the entire cell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the problem of communicating across teams. We can update a single sheet in Smartsheet and update any other linked sheets automatically just by linking the cells in the sheet. Helpful for managing project timelines.
