Helps to track strategic cycles, projects, and portfolios
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Granting access to Smartsheet is much simpler. Anyone can access it with just a link and password. Smartsheet also offers intelligent forms, allowing us to collect project proposals easily. Before our first meeting, I can review initial project ideas submitted through these forms. Additionally, attaching files is straightforward - no need to navigate through menus. The search function is also nice.
The Gantt chart is a valuable tool for public organizations. There is a significant emphasis on external control compliance. Therefore, with this feature, you change the content in every cell in the sheet and in the timeline, and you can track and see the day, time, and the person changing the value. Furthermore, you can choose whether to display a PDF or an HTML page. It helps to update documents quickly. The tool is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
Every feature for text mining, even process mining, would be a plus. We have about two hundred contract management events daily. First, I share specific documents. I talk about the search function because we assume it has a thorough search when we read the catalog. But when you test it, you realize it doesn't search within attachments. So, it's a great search function, but you need the brand folder. It has many options and can become complex.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Smartsheet's stability a ten out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I worked for Siemens in Brazil, the United States, and Germany. They used to have about half a million employees recorded in Primavera. It was nice, very rich, safe, and secure. I have also used Microsoft Project which was great for rigid timelines but not suitable for cost management. I never used Excel.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is easy since it's online. It takes only ten minutes to complete.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have used the tool's trial version.
Smartsheet allows us to visualize the current status of the projects
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a user-friendly tool, it provides me with ease of use and a pleasant user interface. It allows me to keep full control of the projects and present reports to my superiors in a very simple way.
I can review the assignment of company collaborators to projects, the time assigned, and the available time.
Being a cloud service, it provides a very good level of data security and impressive availability. There is no implementation time, it can be used immediately.

Smartsheet Increases Organization and Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
We like the intuitive feel of Smartsheet. The user interface is "friendly" and feels natural to all users who are familiar to users who are already using items like Excel, Access Databases, PowerPoint, and more. The difference is that Smartsheet combines the power of multiple different sources and pulls them into one spot. Your team now has one source of truth where you can communicate about everything concerning any type of project you can imagine. It is easy to learn and very user-friendly. Smartsheet can be used for items as simple as a to-do list to the most complex project management items you can imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve for those who are interested in diving deeper. It does take some time to learn the formulas which are similar to Excel but just "different enough" that it can throw you for a loop. Our suggestion is that you choose one to two people on your team to become subject matter experts in Smartsheet who can guide the team through the transition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps our team stay connected across multiple projects. It has allowed us to collaborate so that we don't miss deadlines or work over the top of each other. We are able to loop our clients in and keep them informed as well as assign them the tasks that would typically hold us up on collaborative processes in the past. We also love the look and feel of the Dashboards which keep our clients engaged and invested in the projects on deck.

Great collaborative platform for planning and keeping projects on schedule!
What do you like best about the product?
SmartSheet has been a great collaborative platform for planning and keeping projects on schedule! The ease of switching between different view modes (grid, Gantt, card, calendar) allows the team to focus on the factors that matter. I appreciate being able to collect various pieces of information and links to documents within the same SmartSheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on which of the features one activates for automation, SmartSheet notifications can unintentionally end up filling up email inboxes. While the notifications are helpful at times, it can be distracting to the user's overall workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows for the team to have a high-level view of various tasks and their respective progress, and also serves as a good platform for retaining history of specific task items.
Smartsheet is a consistent way to collaborate.
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a service that people of all levels of technical expertise can use for basic functionality. It makes collaboration consistent and easy--and is functional for both qualitative and quantitative use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The visual interface of the basic grid format--the version my team uses the most--doesn't feel optimized for monitor dimensions. It just always feels like I'm zoomed in, and can't see the full picture I'm trying to create. Comparisons of difference columns or rows, for example, can be a challenge. I recognize that there are plenty of visualization tools/formats, but we don't usually need that level of detail/prep--so it's like we're in this middle-ground where we're both too detailed but not detailed enough to warrant dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us visualize projects in Gantt formats, and it allows us to create branded forms that we can actively prioritize the results of on a rolling basis.
Budget friendly,Pleasant,Easy to install-smart sheet
What do you like best about the product?
In the sector of the best thing I like about samrtsheet that is a user friendly application. I can surely say that it is built for those persons who are technically challenged or doesn't know much about the formulas or the shortcuts while performing any kind of action on any application. It really help us to understand and develop a good understanding about the functionality during a live work. We can deliver best results even if we are not so well trained thorough the help of this application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Multiple people can not work in a single login. It is a bad thing which I really found little bit off as in any other application you can use single login credentials at the same time .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a doc reviewer person. We had different kind of projects and review in our hand . So to better accomplish in a small interval of time given by the client I have trusted Smartsheet as it does not need any kind formulas or notions to run vertical or horizontal loop , we can save data as much as possible in a tabluar form . The person get its hand on it very easily.
