Great for Project Timelines
What do you like best about the product?
We use SmartSheets for timelines and its a really great system. You can personlise it to have everything you need and the colour coding is super clear. We used to do our timeliens in excel and now we only use SmartSheets. The main positive it how easily you can shift timelines, just by dragging the bar along the Sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
We find Smarthseets difficult to Share with our clients who dot have the software, it is something that they tend to not have time to do. I fid that the exporting of SmartSheets back int excel does not look as good and it also doesnt allow them to see the live updating timeline

Task hierarchy is lost in reports and there is no filters available on dashboards.

Smartsheet Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we were able to consolidate a ton of separate spreadsheets into one tracker and can utilize Smartsheet data in powerBI and other reports to finally use data we have been collecting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was a little bit more aesthetically pleasing but by utilizing powerBI that's not as big of a deal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is collecting a bunch of data that was previously within separate spreadsheets across our organization and consolidating it into one tracker for reviews.
Smartsheets is a great product!

I find the formulas challenging. Luckily I work with some very smart people who create what I require.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Replaced excel driven producs that couldnt provide access to multiple users at the same time.
Quick, Clear, and saves time

Ability to generate specific reports off of large spreadsheets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic things like restrictions on date formatting and the ability to only have conditional formatting on an entire column rather than just a few cells in that column.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One place for information entry and control
My experience with Smartsheet is mainly positive. It is a great tool that I utilize daily.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy using Smartsheet on a regular basis and find that it's easy to use and has useful features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some downsides are that the formulas are so different from other platforms that it does take some getting used to. I am also not a fan of how the data transfers over to Tableau, but I don't know that it's a Smartsheet issue so much as a Tableau issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet not only helps me keep track of my daily tasks but also allows for easy communication between departments.
Smartsheet for Project Planning
What do you like best about the product?
Easier to use than MS Project. User friendly, simpler but still offers all the Project Planning tools that our organization required. Smartsheet was also much easier for users to start using with minimal training. Allowing for template and dashboard creations is a plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some projects require certain weekend tasks and others don't in the same project plan. This can be difficult to implement sometimes. Not easy to share direct Smartsheet links with anyone who don't have access to Smartsheet, a PDF can be sent however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project planning, sequential planning of tasks, task follow up with various stakeholders and action item owners.

The 500 lines limitation of copy and paste

Excellent for task and project tracking

Task progress tracking is easy to use and get notification for task that still in pending. Mass project status update is saving time from manually updating each project progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Different type of license and packaging is confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task prioratization changer to set which task need to be complete first, checker for to-do list to tick list that is complete.
Great project management software
What do you like best about the product?
It offers a wide range of templates, trackers, reports, and timing plans. One feature I particularly love is the ability for users to attach images and videos to each row without significantly increasing the file size. This is especially useful for tasks like quality assurance, where you can easily attach examples or video screengrabs to illustrate issues—something Excel can’t do. Additionally, Smartsheet’s calendar functionality provides an excellent view for sharing upcoming milestones and stakeholder statuses.
What do you dislike about the product?
In 2024, Smartsheet introduced a new 'Timeline View,' which is a sleeker version of the Gantt chart. However, when displaying multiple projects simultaneously with numerous tasks, the view can become cluttered as the lines start to overlap, making it harder to read. Hopefully, this feature will be improved in future updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet simplifies the process of managing shared live documents within teams, offering both visual clarity and practical functionality. It can handle large file sizes—something Excel struggles with when it comes to attaching videos and images. As a project manager, I use it daily, if not hourly. It's the foundation for ensuring successful project delivery. Once you learn how to use formulas and conditional formatting properly, it saves so much time and effort.
