Smartsheet for Businesses
What do you like best about the product?
I love how immersive each type of document is with each other. I like being able to connect my documents and always be referencing back to things, so I don't have to fill in the same information multiple times. I like the formulas where you just tell it what you're trying to do by filling out boxes based on the prompts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like how when I change something or mess up, it is really difficult to get the document history to be able to go back to a point where everything was working. Since a lot of my documents are intertwined, when I make a mistake on one, I break a lot of other documents that I don't even know about. It would also be awesome to see a tree of how all my documents are connected (which I know this would probably be difficult to visualize).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In order to stay on track, we keep schedules and statuses in Smartsheet. We also use this to keep track of any problems we are having on a project. It is a super quick, and easy way to look at everything in a glance.

What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality of filters and automation codes and completely different from Excel which takes a little while to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to devise a coherent Project Management approach which could be used for all PMs across the Globe. SmartSheet's has enabled us to create an Intake Form which then autonomously creates a Project Folder within a dedicated Project Workspace, ensuring all projects have the same documents and layout for all users. This has enabled not only document repositories to be consistent but also enable an easy transition from Excel for all PMs.
A flexible and powerful tool for managing projects and processes!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has been a game-changer for organizing and streamlining our work. I really appreciate how flexible it is—you can start with something as simple as a task list and gradually build it into a full-fledged project tracker with automations, dashboards, and reporting.
What I like most is the balance between spreadsheet familiarity and project management features. It’s easy for new users to pick up, yet powerful enough to handle complex workflows. Automations (like alerts and reminders) save a lot of manual follow-ups, and the ability to integrate with other tools makes it even more versatile.
The collaboration aspect is also strong—sharing sheets, assigning tasks, and tracking progress in real time keeps everyone aligned. Dashboards are a great way to give leadership a high-level view while the team can dive into details as needed.
If there’s one area for improvement, it would be enhancing the mobile experience for more advanced use cases, but overall, Smartsheet is a reliable platform that adapts well to both structured projects and ad-hoc work.
Bottom line: Smartsheet is a highly effective tool for teams looking for flexibility, scalability, and visibility in their workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Smartsheet is powerful, I wish it offered smoother ways to hide and collapse columns and to save filtered views more easily. Having these features as quick toggles—similar to how you can in spreadsheets—would make navigating large sheets much simpler.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps us bring structure and visibility to projects that would otherwise be managed in scattered spreadsheets, emails, or chat threads. It centralizes work into one place, making it easier to track tasks, deadlines, and ownership. Automations reduce manual follow-ups, dashboards provide leadership with quick insights, and collaboration features keep the entire team aligned. Overall, it saves time, improves accountability, and helps us scale processes without losing control.
Good experince
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and very useful app and website
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that it a little expansive to buy it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it helped me to create a Task list for my team.
Smartsheets has helped me significantly with the organization of information needed amongst my team.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customization that it offers for different applications. The site was very easy to get everyone trained on and Smartsheets has a good support team for helping that happen. The smartsheets team did a great job at designing the application to match our needs and walking through the process with us.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do seem to have frequent times where the website is down. By down, I mean it doesn't load the dashboard I use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a very difficult time tracking progress within our improvement teams. We were never on the same page and things were getting pushed down the pipeline. Smartsheets allowed us to set up dashboards where everyone can track each others projects on initiatives, as well as send out reminders. This increased transparency across the team a lot.
Efficient way to communicate across multi-functional matrixed teams
What do you like best about the product?
Allows for the creation of multiple dependencies, where completion of one or more tasks will trigger the start or feed into the gating parameters of the next series of tasks. I also love the auto-generation of Gantt charts/ timelines and the ability to filter for Critical tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires some upfront training from a Smartsheet user and can get overwhelming for new users at the start. The mini training modules are somewhat helpful but too general, and team-specific recommendations/ training were essential. Perhaps come up with several use cases/ examples?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It facilitates inter-team communication and handoff expectations. Also the ability to edit in parallel (live) is outstanding.
Use for tracking project statuses, collaborating with others on payments, and record keeping
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how flexible it is. It’s great for when we need to track project statuses because you can set it up however you need. Makes it easy to see where lots of different teams statuses are when we are unable to meet in person/with frequency.
It’s also helpful for collaborating with others, especially when it comes to our payment requests. You can leave comments, set up reminders, and keep everything in one place instead of chasing emails.
We also use it for record keeping, for example for our check deposit ledger. We can attach files, track changes, and always know who entered/coded payments.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some things can feel a bit clunky, especially when setting up more complex sheets or automations — it’s not always super intuitive. Permissions can also get confusing if you’re working with a lot of different people.
Also needing licensees for each admin user to have full access to move columns around can be annoying.
Also needing licensees for each admin user to have full access to move columns around can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me keep track of project progress without digging through emails or spreadsheets. I can easily see where things stand, work with others on payments, and keep all the records in one place. It saves time and keeps everything way more organized than an Excel sheet that only allows one user to edit at a time.
I think we could do more to utilize some of Smartsheet's other data analysis features though.

Centralized and Dependable for Property Management
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Smartsheet provides a centralized storage solution for all our property-related documents, making it easy for both myself and corporate to access and review files, even from out of state. I love its straightforward functionality, which is beneficial for holding and sharing essential company documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike about smartsheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Smartsheet to centralize and store all our property-related data, enabling corporate access and streamlining information sharing across states.
Great no-code platform for workflows and process management.
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a great tool to modernize your spreadsheet data. You can easily use formulas like you do in Excel, and transform that data into workflows, live and interactive reports, and dashboards to help consolidate data and processes from all over the place into one great location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications are somewhat limited, and custom forms for editing existing data do not exist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Smartsheet for managing HR processes including performance reviews, application tracking, onboarding tasks, and employee changes. We are also using it to track and report on Safety Incidents and countermeasures. We have utilized Forms, Reports, Workflows, Document Generation, and Dashboards.
Reliable and Flexible Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how versatile Smartsheet is. It combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of project management software, making it easy to track tasks, timelines, and responsibilities in one place. The collaboration features are excellent where everyone can see updates in real time, attach documents, and leave comments, which keeps communication clear and projects moving forward. The templates are also a big time saver, and the automation rules help cut down on repetitive admin work.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s not much to dislike, but sometimes the more advanced features take a bit of time to learn, especially for new users. The interface can feel a little crowded if you’re working with very large projects. That said, once you get the hang of it, it becomes a very powerful tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps us bring all our project information into one place so nothing gets lost in email threads or scattered spreadsheets. It solves the challenge of keeping multiple teams aligned by providing clear visibility of timelines, responsibilities, and progress. The ability to automate reminders and updates means we spend less time chasing tasks and more time actually getting work done. Overall, it’s improved accountability, reduced miscommunication, and given us more confidence that projects will stay on track and deadlines will be met.
