Excellent project management tool for skills at all levels
What do you like best about the product?
I love the automations available, makes following up with team members so much easier!
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet is such a powerful tool, it can be overwhelming at times with all the possibilties.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet keeps all cross-functional departments aligned with one another, especially when there are dependencies.
Smartsheet functionality has been useful to our team for project management and project intake
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Smartsheet as a task tracker and knowledge repository for items that I want to be able to quickly reference at a later time. I find the opportunity to have multiple "tabs" open at once for various projects that I can click between very helpful on the desktop version.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet provides a ton of functionality but can feel a bit like building out the product to match your custom use cases. For those who might wish to dive straight into a pre-designed template, there's an option for that but it might not be the ideal tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have multiple projects underway at any given time. Being able to retain context for relevant tasks in separate Smartsheets for specific projects has been invaluable.
5+ Years of Smart Sheet Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the ease of creating forms and gathering records in one sharable file.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limits on characters in the column names.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use paper logs for our hourly quality reports and now we use a QR code linked to the respective Smart Sheet form to collect and parse the data.
SmartSheet is great

I like the ease of use and ability to share sheets/information with multiple people. Helps my client projects stay on task and organized/focused.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the logic and functionality is finnicky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping a project (RAID log, etc) organized and on task with the ability to share with a large project team and assign them specific tasks to maintain accountability.
The future of the project management
What do you like best about the product?
It shows all of the details of the project, dates, responsibles and status. Easy to comprehend and manage. As a user it could have many other ways to use, like managing expenses or tracking maintenance reports.
We use it frequently to deliver projects and pilot runs.

Smartsheets is amazing when it works, but very frustrating when workarounds are necessary
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet shines the most when used as intended - as a project management software. We use it most to track track product testing (single tasks, not ongoing complex projects) and it works very well most of the time. The forms for other people to submit requests for testing is one of our most-used features and the report item is perfect for a summary of the whole team's projects. The ability to create a dashboard as a single destinationt to send colleagues to where they can see links to all of our forms is also very nice. The ability to automatically fill out a PDF with information based on column values is one of my favorite features that saves me a lot of time.
Overall, Smartsheets is very easy to use once everything has been set up and makes workflows easier to track.

What do you dislike about the product?
While some things in smartsheet are very intuitive and just work, there are a large number of things that I think should work, but don't. For example, it seems like it should be possible to be able to copy the value of one cell to another using automation, but it's not a feature smartsheet has included. There are also some automations that only work on certain types of cells and not others - such as the "change cell value" automation not working on date fields. It is very frustrating when something called "smart"sheets isn't so smart when it comes to features that intuitively feel like they should work.
When it comes to all of these lacking features, there is sometimes a workaround to achieve the same result, but the workarounds are usually tedious and clunky. In addition, asking for features through the community is very hit or miss - there are some feature requests that have been around 5+ years that are highly supported by the community yet very few of those have made it into newer versions of Smartsheets. One of these requests that would help our team tremendously would be the ability to enter multiple rows from the same form as we very often have requests where very little changes between the requests (often just a single field). Despite hours of research and trying workarounds, we have not found a better way than having people submit multiple similar requests.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is helping us track requests between different departments more easily than using email, as it allows the people in charge of various request types to easily see overviews of what has been submitted and manage priorities. This has helped requests from falling through the cracks, as we occasionally had happen before.
Smartsheet is user friendly and is great for team collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about smartsheet is team collboration. It is very easy and straight forward to setup workflows to get approval, set up reminders, and be notified when changes to your sheet are made. I also enjoy the forms feature where you create a survey/quiz and capture responses without having to use another website.
What do you dislike about the product?
My least favorite thing about smartsheet has to do with limitations with filtering. I need to filter for many values that change on a consistent basis and I can't just copy and paste the list I need to filter for, I have type one value at time which is time consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With people I collaborate with working all across the country in different locations and time zones, it makes colloborating and communication easier. It also helps me stay on top of things with its alerts and reminders.
Smartsheet can organize a team
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is easily implemented within an organization, allowing employees to input data efficiently through forms and apps. Updates can be requested directly from a sheet, and all communications are recorded within Smartsheet for clarity. Providing employees access to forms and dashboards is straightforward, and dashboards can be seamlessly integrated into meetings. We utilize Smartsheet daily to track KPIs. Additionally, the customer support is excellent; whenever I've encountered an issue, I've been able to schedule a call and receive prompt and effective solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet is limited on graph capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is utilized to track our organization's KPIs effectively. Each department has its own app, featuring entry forms and a main dashboard. A health status is assigned to each department based on individual KPI results. These statuses are aggregated at the director level, which then rolls up to provide an overall health status for the administrator.
Great collaborative spreadsheet and tools
What do you like best about the product?
Smarsheet is intuitive, reliable, and helps teams collaborate and be more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once in a while it can be a bit slow to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps diffent parts of our organization collaborate and keep track of what is going on. It gives colleagues the ability to monitor testing and analysis at a glance and includes automation so required parties are notified when others in the organization are waiting on someone.
A solid app for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent UI, ease and very straightforward way of usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing is a bit confusing. If I remove one person's access to one sheet, they lose access to the whole workspace. That must be removed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives me the timeline and project management tool, which I can use to plan my projects. The ability to add predecessors and link tasks is very useful.
