What do you dislike about the product?
I have found few downsides on smartsheet:
1. There is not a standarized column that provides you the % expected progress without the need for you to construct a formula to obtain this input.
2. You can't modify the baseline for a single task, and that is needed when a task is approved to be modify.

Smartsheet is helping me manage all projects on my PMO department.
Great Tool for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
It is super helpful in capturing time durations and managing projects. I love how easy it is to toggle between the Gantt view vs grid view. Reporting is also very straightforward and the built-in visualizations are great. I also really enjoy utilizing automations to send notifications and being able to attach files.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some things that are difficult to navigate through, such as text wrapping, Gantt errors, no auto-save, no action/change log.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a PM, Smartsheets gives me a comprehensive space to keep track of all of my accounts and their progresses. It allows for me to make sure I am meeting my deadlines through its auomatic date calculation, use of predecessors and dependencies, and automation capabilities. It also allows for me to keep track of task assignments and gives me clear insight on impacts to my project if a task is not done.
Excellent Solution for managing projects and workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Easy project management and workflow automations especially for those that are experienced with Spreadsheets.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is easy to inadvertently expose a sheet to persons that should not have visibility. Be careful when setting permissions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflows and project management around software onboarding and proof of concept projects.
Smartsheet "outside the box", using Smartsheet to manage everything like a its a project.
What do you like best about the product?
First and foremost due to Smartsheet being spreadsheets at its core if you are an Excel or Google Sheets user/fan than the transition to Smartsheet is almost completely painless. Aside from some syntax differences it works the way you are used to at its base.The point and click functionality for reports, charts and "Dashboards" is a huge quality of life improvement compared to having to build those things yourself.
The use cases for Smartsheet deployments are only limited by you and your creativity. The amount of integrations that exist make bring data in from multiple sources to a central point of truth a breeze.
The robustness of the community, from help articles and forums to community designed templates, is a huge plus.

What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheets inability to deal with "time" naitively is a major pain point if you are trying to manage or have visibility in to a scale smaller than "Days". You can accomplish it with some fairly complex formulas and/or creative cell and sheet links but it has been a community ask for a number of years. Additionally anytime based functons are based on Smartsheet servers timezone, your sheets will display the time as local but any calculations (ie: =Today()) will run based on theirs. This is not disclosed anywhere, you stumble on it when you don't get an expected result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing data presentaion from multiple sources
Great for collaborating with external team members
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet allows for external collaborators to contribute without having to download any software. There are a few limitations for the basic and free membership, but all the core functionalities needed for collaborations are available. Another good feature is the Gantt chart function and the dependency mapping which is particularly important for complex project planning. There was no implementation needed for the users side since the application is web-based, and exporting and importing to other application (MS Excel, PDF, etc.) was easy for sharing the hard copies of the sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the application usage, there are times the sheet setting is not flexible enough to accommodate all the project requirements. The other limitation I could think of is the dependencies and the start date are linked, meaning the start date is automatically set as the end of the complete date. It will be better to have a conditional formatting function where the start date of succeeding task can be set a few days after the completion date as a pre-requisite instead of forcing it to be the end date for the previous tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a dedicated space for all project-related tasks with all team member regardless they are external or internal.
Overall smartsheet is a decent replacement for more standard project management tools.
What do you like best about the product?
Full online funtionality and ease of sharing between platforms and people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more easily generated charts and information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
generates great gant charts and can easily show critical paths.
good tool for work and organization, especially in project management.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Smartsheet is its flexibility and versatility. It combines the familiarity of a spreadsheet with powerful project management tools, allowing users to customize their workflows and track projects in a way that best suits their needs. The ability to integrate with other apps, automate repetitive tasks, and collaborate in real time makes it a robust platform for managing complex projects and tasks efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I find challenging about Smartsheet is its steep learning curve for new users. The platform's extensive features and customization options can be overwhelming at first, making it difficult to get up to speed quickly. Additionally, while its flexibility is a strength, it can sometimes lead to inconsistent setups and a lack of standardization across different teams or projects, which may affect overall efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is used to share information and provide access to documents that the team needs, streamlining communication and collaboration. It allows us to manage and organize important files in one centralized location, ensuring that everyone has access to the most up-to-date resources. Additionally, it is used to track and record the hours worked by students during their practical training. This helps in maintaining accurate records, monitoring progress, and generating reports efficiently.
A bit pricey but a good project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Clean GUI with a straight forward admin console. Also allows "non-licensed users" to view docs without needing to add licenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's bit pricey for a yearly license per "edit-capable" users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use smartsheet to manage our various sales and data automation projects. This has allowed a small handful of users to make a large impact and reduce overal time and cost pretty substantially.
