Because the technique is comparable enough, Excel users may rapidly learn how to use it with little training or troubleshooting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how difficult it is to add formulas to sheets; having to go to the summary area may be extremely inconvenient when you first start using the software. The primary problem I have with Smartsheet is the lack of an autosave option; when compared to other web-based programs like Google programs, this unpleasant and time-consuming need severely hampers the productivity of my workflow. If Smartsheet could incorporate an autosave option, it would significantly enhance the way I use the product.

The Smartsheet dashboard view could be more robust than its current version. The lack of widescreen viewing experience options limits its usability for display board purposes.

Help in tracking records; show the number of days used to complete a task and show that the work is being processed; with the data listed correctly, I would always know how long I have been on a particular task. Smartsheet allows for total team collaboration and communication to provide a seamless project management experience. The automation aspect of the software means that my projects can stay updated without active supervision. Smartsheet is solving the problem of the approval process, many times we don't know who has the asset or where in the process it is, Smartsheet allows the team to know where the deliverable is in the process and its status.
