Smartsheet for MEP Construction
What do you like best about the product?
We have primiarly used Smartsheet to help with keeping track and managing project deadlines. Our main calendar management is done through Outlook mostly for meeting scheduling and then we use Smartsheet to track project deadlines. There are a lot of features in Smartsheet that we haven't fully utilized yet but hope to in the future.
Along with the deadline management, the workflows that can be used are super helpful in reminding staff of upcoming dates as well as if dates are changed within a project manager's Sheet. I would love to learn more about how automated processes can help us be more efficient and keep all team members informed.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Outlook interface in the baseline Smarsheet subscription doesn't quite achieve what we would ideally be able to get out of it. With a company of our size, we don't really have the ability to subscribe to add ons. A more seemless integration to Outlook would be a great addition.
We currently use Ajera for our accounting/billing software, which also has a resource management tool but it's geared more toward the accounting side of things and not the ease of use for scheduling staff.
Beyond that, it's meeting the need of our company for the reasons that we initially started using Smartsheet.

Managing multiple project schedules at one time and being able to keep all of the project teams up to speed with dates as they move around.
Our team love smartsheets
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is useful, collaborative, and helps to organize and analyze key information as a team. The options and possibilities for working with data related to our projects are endless! Once you get the hang of it is easy to use. Each person can set their own settings for a customized experience but the team can use a consistent approach as well. We use it often to track information and analyze it together as a team both internally and externally while the teams we use it with externally are not always familiar with it, we have been able to implement it easily across state teams. We have also been able to integrate key data from our tracking system into a dashboard to show hightlights on a weekly basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit overwhelming and a lot to learn at first. Some external partners, even after using it for some time, report that it is still a bit overwhelmeing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to work together in real time as a team on the same project. We are able to create a consistent experience across the team, yet everyone has the flexibilty to customize their own exeprience to some degree as well. It helps streamline communicate across the team, high key details from the data, track and organize the data so that it can be analyzed, and keep track of the status of many project items at one time.
Project Management in SmartSheet
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive due to it's Excel-like nature and functionality. Esy to create dashboards around your data and the workflow/notification functionality is great for keeping project constituents informed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes hard to share with non-Smartsheet users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project plans and RAID logs
Ease to use and implement, but Dashboards and tool consistency need work
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use.
It's very intuitive, making it easy to learn and implement quickly.
The workflow feature is helpful for communication and action triggers. The variety of templates provides a great starting point for newbies.
I also find the option filters in the Reports very good, as they allow me to combine multiple criteria to get precisely the information my stakeholders need.
The workspaces are also quite helpful in grouping/separating the projects and managing access.
For dealing with external users, the Dynamic View is a great feature.

What do you dislike about the product?
One downside to Smartsheet is the dashboards — they’re too basic.
Another drawback is some inconsistency in functionality across some tools - For example, the filter options available in Reports, which encompasses multiple logics, aren’t available in the Sheets. I wish they were available at both the same level. It would help prevent the need for workarounds.
The Data Mesh configs don't have an option to turn it off or deactivate it as the workflows in the sheets. The biggest downside is that if you try to delete it, it will erase the data it was bringing from the other sheets.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet allows me to effectively share specific data with different stakeholders based on their role in the process. This is easier and more organized compared to other traditional tools, which don’t offer the same level of control.
I can manage the project files and ensure that each person will only see the information relevant to them at the right stage of the process. It also enables access control, making it simple for stakeholders to view only the data for their respective regions.
Additionally, the workflows are essential in automating action triggers, ensuring that stakeholders are notified when it’s their turn to act or when relevant updates are made by others. This saves time and prevents communication gaps.

Smartsheet is a user-friendly tool that simplifies project management and team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Smartsheet provides a clear, organized way to track tasks, deadlines, and progress, making it easier to collaborate with others and stay on top of projects. The customizable templates and automation features also save time and improve efficiency
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Smartsheet can be a bit overwhelming for new users due to its many features and complex interface. It also lacks some advanced customization options and can become costly, especially for larger teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is helping me manage projects more smoothly by keeping everything in one place. It makes it easier to keep track of tasks, deadlines, and who's responsible for what, which cuts down on confusion and back-and-forth emails. It's like having a clear roadmap for everyone, which saves time, reduces stress, and helps us all stay on the same page and get things done faster.
Handy solution for simplified project planning and organization for teams
What do you like best about the product?
One of the most advantageous aspects of Smartsheet as a project management tool is the availability of many features. I believe that it is very helpful in tracking tasks and I love the automation features of this application such as the reminders and the alerts. Not to mention that it integrates well with Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace, which is very helpful. Together with these features, the simplicity of use enables one to accomplish large scale projects easily and conveniently.
What do you dislike about the product?
The greatest drawback that we’ve experience when using Smartsheet is that it tends to be slow when handling large projects that involve lots of data. This has at times been tricky especially when one wants to locate or edit specific information in order to serve a particular purpose. Despite the app connected to popular software, it is not very suitable with small or specific applications that are also applied to. This gap has left us to spend more time typing the data or looking for relevant workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet has greatly eased the manner in which we manage projects within the working environments. It helps to keep schedules in check as it easy in identifying who does what, when and which is due. Most importantly the automated notifications have been really useful to ensure that nothing is left behind. We have always had many spreadsheets that initially made confusion to us, but now, everything is integrated. They have improved collaboration between the members of a team, reduced misunderstandings, and time consumed while scheduling and monitoring tasks.
Smartsheet is a great way to keep track of various types of data sets.
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard creation and ease of sharing with a broader audience.
What do you dislike about the product?
More features like AI tools that can auto generate a sheet with set criteria. More fuctionality with calendars
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better track of workflows on complex projects such as deadlines and deliverables.
Forms Allow for us to collect data
What do you like best about the product?
The options to collect information among an audience of users through forms is fantastic. We are able to properly document work completed in our operation by having users log and answer specific forms that we designed in smartsheet. We used to log this by pen and paper. Being able to attach items in the forms entry is easy to use and resourceful.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that we struggle with is mapping information collected to a form to a preexisting value. I am learning how to complete look ups, but it become more cumbersome to manage different sheets and establish the connections.
I recently learned that you can not copy and paste formulas from one sheet to another, you have to retype these, or enter as text to start.
