A great intuative program with very little limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a great way to communicate between different groups in our organization.
I can review the workings of different projects all at a glance.
I like the notification automations and how easy it is to set up.
I appreciate the speed and clarity with which staff has helped me when I have had issues as well as their reception to feedback.
The integration with other services has been quite easy as well using power automate to download and export my sheets daily to my offline database.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the features I am missing from base programs like Excel are Queries and a bigger row/cell limit but I recognize it might be close to impossible to implement on an online platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through Smartsheet we have been able to track the progress of our production workflow and send automated notification to many different parties at specific flag points.
This has enabled better internal co-ordination leading to more efficiency overall.
Also we have been getting daily tracking reports to analyze at the end of the season which was something we never had before.

A multi purpose project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
We started using smartsheet to keep track of the tasks, visibility is important when assigning the tasks and smartsheet make it easy to hold everyone accountable.
What do you dislike about the product?
The issue we are facing is that of the organization of the sheets, it can only be organized by folder, no other view. So sometimes sharing items within a folder becomes difficult because you cannot restrict the people inside the folder from viewing or editing content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the problem of managing tasks, keeping data organized, of preparing social media schedules. Our team tracks each project on smartsheet and so far it has worked well for us.
Great resource
What do you like best about the product?
I like that things are easyto track in the sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the server goes down for hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are better able to schedule and track enrollment statuses with the help of smartsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product really changes the way we get to work with our participants, it is great.
Honest review
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to link data from different tables. I like that you can work in a separate space and create directories in it. That I can work with my colleagues in the same space online without integrating more complex solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
New points:
1. I would like to be able to set catalogs for reports and if any projects will come into, reports will automatically poll it as the new additional source. Currently, I have to do it manually.
2. I wasn't able to resolve the issues with the cross pages references issue, I can't use two sources in the one formula or even two different columns in a one-referenced project
Old one :
1. Working with formulas is very difficult, sometimes it is not possible to run the formula, although it is obvious that the syntax is correct.
2. In order to do simple actions, you need to go through a complex process. For example, in order to print a sheet with the names of tasks directly in the working field of the Gantt chart, you need to create a separate report, and only through it will it be possible to carry out this simple function. But even if you do all this, you won't be able to see the current dateline. There are many such shortcomings.
3. I don’t like how difficult it is to make a dashboard and add the necessary information to it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was possible to create a single company milestone chart in difficult ways, but I just won’t go with it anymore, since the tool is quite difficult to work with
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easier for operational work and does not require complex implementation of programs such as Microsoft Project.
Great tool for Project Managers
What do you like best about the product?
Best features of the tool is the project management templates. Project plans are easily done through the template Smartsheets offer. With date dependencies, it makes PMing easier than doing this on Exce than other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's seems a bit slow compared to Excel. Excel is faster to use. Sometimes it gets difficult to choose between the two platforms even though SmartSheet offers more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using this for project management. We use it for project plans, RAID Logs, weekly status reports, and dashboard. It's an easy tool to collaborate with others and share information.
Great way to quickly organize and collaborate with teams
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility; it's easy to add and sort information, as well as tag colleagues to specific tasks or line items. The sync to Saleforce is a game changer too; very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more hotkeys or shortcuts. Its closest comparison is Excel, which you can operate much faster. Additional integrations with portfolio management tools, like Addepar would be nice. I do not like the difficulty of creating formulas which reference other sheet - it is way too manual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're replacing menial Excel files. We track and monitor projects more productively using Smartsheet. However; Excel is still better to use when needing more advanced analyses.
Used Smartsheet for several data collaborations with colleagues.
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Google products and its simplicity of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the features are hidden/obscrured. There is definitely a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration in a live document vs. sharing versions of a spreadsheet back and forth.
Smartsheet Tool is useful but does have limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I am able to use Smartsheet to complete real-time collaboration across sites on various enterprise level items such as Approved Supplier Lists, Audit Schedules, Program Timelines and RAID logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
My understanding is that Smartsheet can be leveraged for so much more but it is not very intuitive in other uses. The use as an online excel file is very straightforward. The solution would benefit from the addition of how to tutorials online.
It is also limited in how I can leverage the tool for meetings. It would be great to have a ppt integration that allows me to pull gantt charts into a ppt slide. Currently I have to build these out separately which creates extra, non-value added work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time collaboration across the enterprise is much easier especially when your company has an aversion to SharePoint. It is also useful for creating Gannt charts.
A good easy to use tool
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use
Excel style format
Ease of Collaborartion

Ease of Collaborartion
What do you dislike about the product?
every task owner requires an account. sometimes the customer is a task owner and they are not using smartsheet so you have to force them to use the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gant charts, scheduling, collaboration
Overall good experience with Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it sends notifications of changes on the sheet; that I can build a form connected to the sheet which connects to the form; that I can share certain sheets with others to collaborate on projects; that there are grid and card formats and timeline templates that I can use which make starting projects much faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I can't transfer ownership to someone else on the project and that my company limits licenses because they're expensive. It's too hard to go through the hoops so some accounts just go sitting stale after people leave and no one can get access to that account. I don't use all of the functions so I can't speak for all of the bells and whistles but I'm glad it's simpler to use than Excel in many ways, but maybe it does need some extra features that are only available on Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is a huge plus. Many of us can access the sheets and we can create interractive projects which can be fun and useful instead of just a boring spreadsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It's like Excel, only better if you're using it to collaborate with teams.
