What do you dislike about the product?
The Ai user base isnt really much help..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Conndesning and consolidating informationing reports to better present information
Lots of useful functionality for project management
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create a workspace with multiple folders and sheets is very useful in project management. Creating forms and collecting responses all within the same space is great for event management. Automations also make work easier where possible. Creating dashboards is fairly straight forward and collecting information across boards into one dashboard is perfect for reporting up.
Getting people added as editors and viewers is also excellent because they don't need a paid license to contribute. This make collaboration with partners easy. There are options to integrate Smartsheet with various applications. I use Smartsheet daily for personal tracking of action items. I also like that you can create as many children rows as you need at the sub-sub level, etc. rather than being restricted. Nesting is important when you want to consolidate information.

What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot group columns the way you can group rows which would be useful. You also cannot automate adding children rows and sometimes automations mean you have to cell link across boards which is time consuming. The visual representation on Smartsheet isn't always the most user friendly becaue you can have a sheet with thousands of rows which is overwhelming for new users. The filter views could look better and be more intuitive for new users as well. Customer support is also lacking in that we completed a paid solutions service that didn't result in something better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet tracks who is responsible for what and under what timeline with automations to remind people to update. This helps save time from tracking people down individually or maintaining a record or reminders. It also allows the team to refer back to the sheet at any time. Since it also tracks usage and timestamps, we can easily follow latest updates.
Easy way to manage a lot of documents with a lot of people
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everyone in our company can get access to the information on Smartsheet and that it saves over the cloud so there isn't risk of losing all of the data that we save there. We have been able to use the sheets for lots of differnet types of information due to the features available.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike much. It is more so somewhat difficult to get everyone on board with entering their data into our sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us better share data between our California and Hawaii offices. It helps us keep track of what eachother is working on and eliminates the possibility of duplicating work or orders.
Best tool for a project manager
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about smartsheets is the templates that are in built.
Its easier to implement project plan when you have a template in place.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Gantt chart view could be improved a lot. There can be options to look for multiple quarters weeks and give color coding to them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Appropriate business plan.
Looking out for risks and addressing them in a timely fashion.

Great for collaborative work and project management, but could use more formulaic features.
What do you like best about the product?
I use smartsheet as a spreadsheet and project management tool. In both applications, one of the best parts about Smartsheets is that it integrates the artifact itself (the table or the project) with an organization structure with folders and workspaces, and where you can manage access. In a way, that makes it similar to working with Excel files saved in Sharepoint, but instead of Excel and Sharepoint you have smartsheets, which is a lot lighter and easier to use. Some great features for project management are the different views of your project that you can have and how easily you can build out a plan.
For most spreadsheet users, the features in Smartsheet are probably enough, and you can do basic formulas and create automated workflows (e.g. if a value drops below x, notify someone). There are a lot of pre-build templates for the automated workflows, but it's also pretty easy and intuitive to create your own.
There are also nifty dashboards and rollup reports that you can create using data from multiple different sheets, and you can easily link data across sheets. I haven't used this feature a lot, but I have seen it and it seems easy enough.
Smartsheet also gives you an easy way to create forms, and the results are populated in your table. It's easy to use and has a good UI.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Smartsheet is a convenient tool with a lot of features that most people use in spreadsheets, projects, reporting and dashboarding, it falls short of the powerful features you can have in other applications. The cost of the convenience are things like not being able to create pivot tables or pivot charts. The dashboarding feature looks good, but I couldn't use it because the types of charts I wanted would have required more advanced calculations. As a result, I do find myself exporting my sheet to Excel and working there when I need to.
Smartsheet formulas are handy, but you can see that it's designed for more simple formulas. Working with complex calculations is hard because of the way it's formatted with column names, rather than cell values.
Another small peeve is that it doesn't autosave. We are accustomed to autosave in M365, and in smartsheets you have to remember to save your work. It does prompt you after 10 minutes that you should save, but I would expect a web based application to always save.

Easy to Navigate

Easy to Navigate. Want to learn more about the features
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't retrieve what you delete on spreadsheet

Event registration platform. Use for project management.
Use SmartSheet to share information with a Team of people.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Smartsheet is how easy it is to share information with other individuals. Not only so but the icons and menus are easy to use and navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have only used Smartsheet to upload and share information and communicate with others. One thing that I didn't like is when I uploaded document or add a comment by accident, I can't delete it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love the fact that information is shared in the platform and only those who have access can see it. I like that information shared is confidential.
Great Tool for Timelines and Templates
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and integrate within your project process. The predecessor column is extremely useful when changes come up during the timeline. It is also a great way to templatize a timeline and let all dependencies adjust according to the start or change date.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be tough sometimes to add and remove line items from an ongoing timeline without having to adjust all predecessors. Also would be great to have a view for users that do not have access to SmartSheet, view only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps keep the team on track and understand where we are in any given project. Makes my job easier when roadblocks occurs and timeline have to be adjusted.
