Smartsheet is a great tool to integrate workflows and business magement
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about smartsheet is its versatility. I have a scheduling tool, and i can use it to track/control deliverables of my projects, automate reminders and notifications to specific users through workflow setup. I also love that smartsheet can be viewed by users who do not have a license, allowing my company to cut costs, by issuing licenses to who really uses the system, but allowing users without a license to see and keep track of work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there isn't much on Smartsheet that I dislike, but if I have to pick something i would mention its export formats. Smartsheet unfortunately does not allow an export properly to MS Project and several of my counterparts still use Microsoft system, and becaus eof that we have to make due by sharing through .xml, which is not great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is helping my company operations management. Not only we do use Smartsheet as a scheduling tool with its task entries, dependencies, gantt chart, but we use it to ensure we have the latest rate card applied to our projects through a Kanban board that allows us to move projects on each of the steps of our project setup. And we also use it sheet functionality to keep ytrack of the invoices we need to issue either, per sprint, monthly, quarterly or yearly. All of that combined with automation of notifications in each of the steps.
Healthcare Software Project Manager's review of Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
The organization it offers due to the features including the filters, the column properties, and the project plan features. My customers like the status report sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how difficult it is to transfer information from one sheet to another. We have updated our standard template several times over the past year and i've needed to manually transfer information over or copy/paste and it gets moved to the bottom of the sheet. Dragging and dropping is difficult.

Great for collaborating with clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet is missing a few fomula functionalities that would be very helpful such as a Time function. In order to capture a specific time that a row is changed you have to send it to another sheet then use a vlookup formula to bring it back.

Smartsheet is driving internal programs that deal with general housekeeping and safety. It also helps with time management and tracking employee tasks. We have Smartsheets specific to all of our clients that allow us to find issues and solve them in a timely manner.

Smartsheet is solving the problems of project schedules moving along and keeping projects on track. As well as holding all team members accountable for ensuring their work is completed on time.
Easy to get started & good value, some project functionality is limited
What do you like best about the product?
Since works like simple version of MS Project it feels very familar, but is much better for online & collaborative working. Like the fact it uses excel type formulas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the dependency and the baseline functionality is a little basic and requires slightly clunky workarounds at times. Would like the ability to build a timeline graphic.

Collaboration & tracking of multiple projects. Project intake requests as well as forum for ideas & queries.
Smartsheet: Some benefits over Excel
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet allows me to create sheets and share them with colleagues while easily controlling the level of permissions I want them to have in the sheet as a user.
It's also much easier to create dropdown controls in a Smartsheet workspace when compared to creating and referencing cells in Excel.
It's also much easier to create dropdown controls in a Smartsheet workspace when compared to creating and referencing cells in Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet does not use/allow identical formula language as Excel, which would allow direct exports from existing sheets.
You cannot resize column 1 as a user despite being able to resize the other columns, so it always takes up space on the screen.
Having to relearn how Smartsheet handles some of it's advanced processes can be tedious, so there are still many times I will simply create a file in Excel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across multiple files is improved with Smartsheet. Files don't get lost, and there aren't 10 versions of an Excel sheet clunking around to get people confused.
Simple and easy to use with lots of great features
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very user-friendly and can be modified to your specifications. It is simple for many people to share and update the same sheets as needed. It has been an excellent tool for our smaller team to share information, and I would definitely recommend.
What do you dislike about the product?
For our purposes, there have not been any real drawbacks to using Smartsheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing information effectively with the team in a smooth and efficient manner with less overlap.
Great platform for planning and recording project timelines
What do you like best about the product?
Compatibility with Excel, and therefore the ability to copy and paste directly between programmes. The overall view of all projects is also very helpful for our business
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure if this is a limitation with the software, or if it is just a functionality that we do not use, but I would like the possibility of linking financial information to rows within the timelines. For example % of an activity completed = xxx in revenue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has become the master reference for project timelines for my team, and the place where management go to review timelins on a per project level, and also to review all projects within the team overall, which helps with planning resoucre
Smartsheets a true enabler for everyday and structured projects
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Smartsheets to manage governance for a variety of project activities. We have managed to connect individual projects to a master tracker and configured smart dashboards and reporting as well as automations, for internal stakeholders, clients and 3rd parties to be kept updated with all associated tasks and outputs. I have personally used several products in the past, however as a team we clearly see the broader value of this product on our day to day activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to utilise more of the product ie resource management throughout the broader business, however license costs is a constraint to extend to every user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We love the fact that all the related objects are interconnectable and that you can drill into detail from reports and dashboards with out the need to navigate to different pages.
