keeping everyone aware of timelines and delivarables
Great software replacing multiple utility and organizational S/W
What do you like best about the product?
This is my second company using Smarsheet and I can say I am a smartsheet lover. Love the ease of use, functionality and all in one use case. Replaces the need to learn multipe S/W. I have used it daily for everyday tasks/management and for PM related taskas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only cons are it can get complicated the more advanced it gets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All listed above and has replaced manual or other competitor S/W
Great user interface!
What do you like best about the product?
This product exceeds expectations and truly delivers as a top-notch project management tool. It stands out for its excellent organization and user-friendly design, making it effortless to navigate and find what you need. It ticks all the boxes for functionality and efficiency, proving to be an invaluable asset for managing projects effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the baseline tool frustrating to use, as it requires manual creation instead of offering an option for automatic baseline generation based on the project. This becomes even more challenging when using another project spreadsheet as a starting point, adding unnecessary complexity to the process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps us maintain control over our team's workflow and effectively track the progress of each project. It's a vital tool for our weekly company meetings, allowing us to hold everyone accountable for their tasks and ensuring transparency and efficiency across the board.
Smartsheets is fantastic!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheets has been an amazing addition to our project managent framework. Although it takes some time to get used to, it then is very intuitive and really does help to progress, track and monitor project work all in one place. Although I am sure we are not using it to it's full potential, even as we are using it now has given us so much in the ways of effenciency gains. The templates are also great and easy to replicate and use when starting new projects or pieces of work. I have attended a couple of seminars which have also been informative and useful. I use it every day in my day to day job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive to add other users! And obviously would be ideal if there was a template of exactly what you wanted to replicate every time, eg, it would be great to have a proper sprint planning template. There is one, but it's not quite right for my needs, but that is fine as i easily added it and adapted it to what I wanted.
The dashboards are a bit complicated to set up, that's the one area of difficulty I have.

We were using a kanban on MS Planner which just didn't help at all with reporting or monitoring, smartsheets has helped immensely with that. We haven't fully integrated into all other software yet but we are working on it. Only difficulty is how to track projects vs smaller tasks but we will figure it out!
Review of Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
Gannt chart capability. The ease of customizing fields. the ability to add comments to tasks. the ability to build in dependencies and have link them across different workstreams/projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
No lock a date feature -- some dates will not move and so it would be helpful to have an easy way to lock in a date (versus some workaround that might be clunky).
I mostly don't like the cost of Smartsheet. The new pricing model is preventing adoption by my company. We will not spend $100+/person per year to have edit capability per person. I would love for my team of 5-7 to use Smartsheet but the new pricing model precludes this. I would also like to get my company of 70+ to use it, but I cannot recommend Smartsheet if it will cost $100+ per person. The prior model of spending a fixed price to have 10 editors made more sense. The current pricing model will prevent many startups like the one I work at from diving into Smartsheet.
While Smartsheet has the ability to assign tasks to users, if my team cannot have edit access because Smartsheet is too costly, this almost defeats the purpose.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to build a detailed mission schedule with dependencies and Smartsheet offers an easy and clear way to do this in a simple UI. I like excel and Smartsheet just overlays smart project management features ontop of excel to make it more conducive to building out schedules and workflows

Smartsheet is very intuitive for scheduling and putting together reports that can be digested by people at various levels within an org.

Disorganized Workflows and Lack of Visibility
Great product. Wish it were rolled out to everyone in my company.
What do you like best about the product?
For all the times that we use a spreadsheet when there is a better tool, SmartSheet is that tool. Making a project plan in Excel because you have Excel on your desktop? Excel is lousy for project plans. SmartSheet is great. Use Excel for it's original intended purpose and stop treating seeing everything as a nail because you have a hammer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it were easier for people in my company to get access. So frustrating how hard it is to get people signed up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Really easy to create and adjust project plans on the fly. Easy to learn and looks professional. Easy to collaborate.
Smartsheet Review
What do you like best about the product?
I am a project manager and use Smartsheet every day to organize and track all of my projects. I have also utilized SS to create data warehouses and data collection workflows. Smartsheet is an excellent tool for myself and the entire department where I work. It helps me effectively manage projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime what is hard is having folks in our department try to adopt using smartsheet, more times than not, team members have been resistant to trying to collaborate on SS during a project. Sometimes, a barrier to having team members adopt SS during a project is having a hard time accessing it if they are not regularly in the app. I share links to the SS shee with them but they usually lose track of it. I think the Teams integration is really helpful, but I still find that team members still dont use it to access SS.
Personally, sometimes I feel it is hard to keep up with all of the improvements and new features. I find that I always keep going back to the same workflows and have a hard time teaching myself new things in SS. I feel like there could be better support on this that is not so expensive as the SS provided workshops are very expensive.

Smartsheet helps and benefits our Department immensely. Smartsheet helps us organize and manage complex projects and helps us achieve Department initiatives and goals. Having the dashboard capability within Smartsheet has also been very beneficial as having data to show impact etc has been a key initiative for our Department and creating dashboards via smartsheet has been a very seamless way to showcase our data.
SmartSheets is a Low Barrier to Entry and Feature Rich Initiatives Collaboration Platform
What do you like best about the product?
If you know how to use Trello, you can use Smartsheets. It's very intuitive to get up and running but also provides advanced capabilities that scales/automates your ability to manage a portfolio of initiatives
What do you dislike about the product?
Utilizing advanced features like workflows, automation, 3rd party integrations, dashboards, etc. have dependencies to work properly. It would be great if there was a way to accelerate the learning curve because the robustness of capabilities is the main differentiator of why people select SmartSheets. I've used it for 2 years pretty regularly and I'm still mostly using card view in a portfolio kanban because after a lot of trial and error, I couldn't get things to work that I needed to expand my usage and drive more efficiencies with my work. Something as basic as the license model should be so much simpler to understand which it is now but poorly communicated. I can't tell you how many people think they can't use SmartSheets for their team because they think every user needs a license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been great to provide a visual representation of a book of work and where each work item sits. It's been a great self-service tool that allows me to manage work asynchronously
