Review from a student worker
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to turn data into charts fairly easily. It was a learning curve, but now that I have it down it is super super nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
When trying to open multiple things at once (say I need to open a report, and a sheet), I wish that they would automatically open in a new tab. It becomes tedious to get everything open that I need to.
I also struggle sometimes with editing a dashboard, as the cursor becomes super finicky. It often thinks I'm trying to grab things that I'm not. I also wish that the centering feature worked more often. When I'm trying to center a title on a dashboard, it seldom pops up with a red line to show me where the middle of the page is. I then have to resort to counting each tiny box on both sides to find the middle.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE: that I am not well versed in what a lot of this review is asking for. I wasn't a part of the team that bought access to Smartsheet, and I don't use it for all purposes listed in the "Feature Ranking" section. Note that if I voted something as a 4, it means it wasn't relevant to me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Outreach Team uses a sheet to organize ongoing projects. It helps us manage roles and deadlines.
We also use it for data visualization, as our program provides basic need subsidies to college students. Example: I worked on a dashboard to visualize our data for a winter break grocery store gift card program. Students applied, and I used that data to visualize demographics, and potential funding decisions. Ultimately, we used visual reports on the dashboard to make on the spot funding decisions with a partnered program (who doesn't use Smartsheet).

A Versatile Tool for Project Management and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has been a game-changer for managing my projects and improving team collaboration. Its intuitive interface and versatile functionality make it a top choice for both simple task tracking and complex project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Handling very large sheets with many rows and columns can occasionally lead to slower performance or loading times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration
Useful Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Blank slate to do anything you can image, as long as you can figure out the formulas and process to make it happen.
If used properly, can migrate your organization out of emails and excel, connecting many stakeholders at one time while staying on top of your data.
Automated auditing. Almost everytime I help someone go from excel to SS, the system automatically identifies a ton of errors in their data. Excel can store data for you but it wont provide immediate insights like SS will.

What do you dislike about the product?
Making changes to existing ecosystems can be difficult and sometimes tedius enough to the point of not getting done. For example, making a dashbaord based on 10-20 reports for charts and viewing. Then changing a column name and adding in a few new columns, getting those added to all those reports can take an unaccepable amount of time updating compared to having say a base template report that would update all that are based on it.
When adding new people, they can get lost immediately causing bad first impressions and loss of the willingness of a user to continue using the system.
Keeping track of assets and organizing them properly takes a lot of forethough and understanding of how SS works where any slight omission can make an ecycstem look and feel bulky.
There are many ways to do anything but no single best way to do everything. For example, do you want people to work in a sheet, report, or dynamic view? Each can do 1-2 things best and 1-2 things that are not acceptable. So you need to choose which pain points are the least offensive to the user to maintain retention, instead of having one singluar best option.

I love using Smartsheet as it has made tracking or multiple projects easier for me and in one place.
What do you like best about the product?
The automations are really nice and being able to ping folks when they are tagged. This allows for me to ensure that everyone has the same visibility of tasks that I do.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that we still have to hit Save everytime a change is made, it would be nice if that was automated. Additionally, it does not allow me to move "completed" things to the bottom of the sheet- that would be very nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving me the ability to have all of my projects in one place and that is appreciated because I no longer have to go looking for files in my laptop. It is also providing everyone with the same visibility i have in terms of tasks, resource allocation, and upcoming projects- this has allowed or greater transperancy on my team.

Great application with a confusing change in pricing
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is great for managing processes that require approvals from different areas. It does things that are nearly impossible with Google Forms and Sheets or with Excel. It's also good for project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet announced changes in its pricing structure in 2024. It's nearly impossible to inderstand how we are going to be impacted by those changes. It could mean that instead of paying 1000 a year we would have to pay 5000 a month. Talking to a representative was not helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keepint track and controlling diferent processes.
