Fantastic with a Few Quirks
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use because it functions like a spreadsheet familiar to most in the business world. It's highly customizable, which makes it a flexible tool as well. You can also easily link different Smartsheets together.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is highly customizable, using it in a standard way across our entire company is challenging. Not many settings can be applied across all sheets, so even a minor change has to be recreated on 100s of sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tool to organize our work tasks and quickly surface a status report to a client. We also needed the work tasks to promptly generate a forecast to manage resource capacity across all projects.
Easy to organize and update
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can easily update information and reflect it to others in the group in real-time. It makes data recording with a group so much easier and allows us not to have multiple different files.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be nice to see additional features added in that allow for reporting of the data you plug in. It is a great tool that, with some additional features, could be made even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to struggle with people editing files and saving them in different locations. It was hard to know what the latest file was. This way, I can clearly track what edits were made and ensure that we are all seeing the most updated information.
Associate project manager
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is like a suped-up version of Microsoft Excel. It allows for a lot of data to be entered and be used for a number of different functions. The flexibility and number of things you can do is most impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do agree that not every page and every column always needs to be connected. Sometimes it would be nice to add some kind of widget or the like to the sheets, instead of having to leave a sheet and go to a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet does a good job of calculating data. Smartsheet does a good job on creating timelines and workflows for project management.
Extremely versatile but still room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to communicate between sheets allows for a huge amount of flexibility. You can create new sheets to supplement the data without disturbing the architecture of the main sheet. Data shuttles are an extremely efficient way to update the data, and dashboards allow you to distill vast amounts of complex data into clear visuals for stakeholders. The ability to switch between data-rich backend sheets with lots of information to more distilled and un-cluttered front-facing sheets means you don't have to sacrifice complexity for clarity or vice-versa.
What do you dislike about the product?
The filters are helpful but limited. You can set AND/OR parameters, but I wish you could set filters for meeting a minimum number of criteria. For example, I track attendance for our professional development sessions. I would like to be able to filter for people who have missed two or more conferences (in other words, a filter that shows anyone who has a blank in at least two out of, say, six columns). Right now to get that info I would have to set an extremely complex filter that accounts for every possible combination of blanks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps me track a lot of data about stakeholder performance and engagement, as well as managing tasks and workflow for myself and my groups.
I think that the layout is friendly, easy to use and good to do timetables an project control
What do you like best about the product?
I think that it is easy to create timetables, the layout is friendly. I also use to control projects and it helps me a lot
What do you dislike about the product?
When I need to control projects, the first column is locked and I needed to create a number that needed to be serial and I couldn't do it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is good that I can share my file withh many people and put tasks to them, so It is easy to control my projects and each person knows where we are and if the task depends on tm
Automate Everything You Can
What do you like best about the product?
I love all of the automation possibilities with Smartsheets. My favorites being the workflows and the dashboards. The ability to quickly get a glimpse at data and understand what is going on is great. Yes; Excel can do a lot of these things, but the ability to tie certain milestones and deadlines to an email notification is what separates the two. That feature alone makes a big difference.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say that the hardest thing is that Smartsheets is just enough different from Excel to be confusing. I had to take a course and get certified on features before I really felt like I had understanding to build some of the pieces that we use now for our projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing us to stay organized and on top of projects. Particularly our construction and real estate projects where the timelines are always changing because of variables that are out of our control.
Simple and effective tool to stay on top of your projects
What do you like best about the product?
The app is simple to use, powerful and tailorable to my needs. It allows me to keep track of my whole area, schedule activities, analyze data and spot critical tasks in a timely manner. All of this while constantly experimenting with new management tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is complex to keep users engaged on the app. They tend to drift away from the app and work off the grid, making the tool redundant. Few more aspects of gamification could help with this
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps in:
- Precisely tracking of the progress of projects
- Timely highlighting resource overloads, critical issues and delays
- The implementation of customized reports and analyses that makes it easy to process the interdependencies within the project portfolio

We use smartsheets for everything!

We really like using smartsheets because it emails all those who need notified when you make a change. We also can add notes and converse with one another.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was first intimidating to use for advanced settings, but after using it a while it is a breeze
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can work together in one sheet and it notifies who needs to do what next, and on down the line. It helps when dealing with multiple line items.
Next level Task manager

Smartsheet is a software that helps you collaborate with your team,, assign tasks, manage other's jobs, manage your calendar, and share documents with other people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things I don't like about Smrtsheet are there are no free versions. The project can be very complex because of too many features. too many features that sometimes you find not needed in the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it organizes schedules and collaborates with many fields, manages the budget at the same time you can use the software as spreadsheet templates, and also tracks calendar schedules.
Works good for our company!
What do you like best about the product?
Having all data available to shift into reports along with the historical data from the previous year. Easy to enter information and use the database. All staff can access the information in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
For our company, once it was setup, if we needed to make adjustments, it seemed to not carry forward for all sheets. Therefore takes time to go back and adjust all the monthly sheets we have set up for the year.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is most directly helping with project timelines and construction timelines. We are also tracking construction costs each month so assure we are staying on track or notice if something is under spent or over spent.
