What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project update and team member chan check immediately.
Perfect for Form Automation
What do you like best about the product?
What I love best is how you can automate form generation and making filling forms easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is that sometimes the site goes down or it doesn't save all of the changes. I also really find it frustrating sometimes that there is no save and complete later option for forms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A problem we solved with Smartsheets is that we have been able to streamline a paperwork process.
Great for tracking/organization after a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheets has many capabilities, you just have to learn how to utilize them. It is excellent for tracking in large organizations and can connect many different units. It is readily compatible with tools such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project so you can integrate worksheets into one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve for Smartsheets. If thinking about implementing in your organization, I recommend several rounds of training and support in building specialized sheets that will be functional for your team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheets is helping us connect units within our organization. We've always operated from a server/drive system that was hard to track for changes and collaboration. Smartsheets allows easy tracking of updates and changes.

Able to update timings in real time, keep track of deadlines, share deadlines with the client
SmartSheet review from a Quality Control user
What do you like best about the product?
The application is neat and easy to understand, even with no prior experience. I also like that you can easily use the copy and paste feature with no glitches sometime found in other cloud-based softwares.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some formula and filter functions may not be as intuitive at first to figure out. Perhaps the offer of start up tips and tricks may be useful. Other option is hint pop-ups as users and working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smarsheet is an excellent application like a simplified form of Microsoft Project. It allowed our team to manage product release and stability testing dates and illustrate Gantt charts to our audience. As a result, we could track on-time and delays with the schedule.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SmartSheet is an easy-to-use tool, very intuitive.
Solid in the Past, Flexible for the Present, Exciting for the Future
What do you like best about the product?
I have liked the way it continues to evolve. I have a particular and very much a "one-off" situation that requires me to constantly re-invent what we may know as a spreadsheet. IF I have ever felt limited, I realized that after the helpful videos and assistance, I could face these hiccups
with various solutions. Again, the "hiccups" I was facing were more a symptom of a more significant "sickness"--not Smartsheet's capability. I guess I appreciate the way Smartsheet seems approachable.

What do you dislike about the product?
I am a visual learner. I love graphics and charts and seeing data in different forms. I wish Smartsheet would bring in more of the "graphic" and "icon" opportunities that exist in some other software platforms. I struggle with the visual limitations of Smartsheet. The discontinuation of Smartsheet Labs was unfortunate. I felt it lost some of the "adventure" and new frontiers it had started to explore. They may have included such programs as "modules" but, those are add-ons, which may be my biggest problem: the upselling of features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have taken a great deal of information over 20 years and am watching as it takes shape as a valuable asset instead of a liability to our organization. Smartsheet allows me the capability to create data sets providing deep dives and drill-downs. I live and die by the filter feature.
Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use. It is easy to add rows and columns
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a workflow is not as easy as I think it could be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to keep track of projects and what we are doing at each project. It helps our technicians be more productive because they are not doing the same things more than once.
Smartsheet keeps me current!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has been a tremendous help in staying current with the never ending list of to-do's. The flexibility of customization of columns has allowed me to add/remove lists and keep the flow of relevant data at my cursory view.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have occasionally is the potential to not see the entire spreadsheet if my columns are numerous. This would happen regardless of which software I'd use so I don't think its just a Smartsheet issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can monitor my daily routines and activities, as well as update everyone I share with where I am on specific projects. It helps me stay on task
Great for organizing deadlines
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part of Smartsheet is the ease at which you can view upcoming tasks and quickly mark off any completed tasks. It has definitely been one of the easier programs to use when dealing with colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue I've had is that when using it in conjunction with a business, it can be a little confusing when trying to find the "original" timeline to edit in order to have the other timelines update as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company and my teams have used it in order to simplify the process of meeting deadlines. Smartsheet emails everyone else in the group when a task is completed so that we know when it is our turn to complete a task.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Smartsheet should definitely be considered when trying to coordinate timelines between multiple parties within your organization.
Smartsheet brings together many complex features in a very user friendly experience.
What do you like best about the product?
The most unique and valuable feature of Smartsheet is how well it allows users to create links across multiple sheets. These sheets can hold very complex formulas and tons of data, and Smartsheet still has no problem linking them together seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were a wider variety of graph types available to plug right into dashboards. While the current graphs cover all the primary use types (and does it very well), the complexity of data in a lot of my sheets (that's in there because Smartsheet handles all the complex data so well) is often hard to represent with the current dashboard graph offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily solve Project Management related problems. This includes project tracking and scheduling, risk repository boards, and related documentation. Since using Smartsheet, the amount of time required to simply gather information has been reduced significantly. Instead of spending time tracking down numbers and asking individuals for updates, Smartsheet does all that for me. Now, I have a lot more time to solve genuine project problems instead.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a tool that combines all the best elements of MS Excel and Project, is versatile enough to support waterfall or agile projects, and has a ton of great ways for you to visualize data, I highly recommend Smartsheet. It does require some sort comfort or familarity with datasets or excel-type sheets for everyone using it, but it's so worth it for what you get.
