What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to copy between folders and workspaces.
Cut and paste features can be restrictive. The abiility to import portions of project plan templates and still retain the properties of the original Project Plan can be a little confusing.

Smartsheet Review
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is widely known as a PM tool (an excellent one at that). For our organization, I believe we pushed data input and automations to the max, leading us to learn about functionality that isn't widely advertised in the system. Including premium features, Smartsheet is relatively simple to understand from a building and admin standpoint. My favorite feature by far is automating consistency between data sets on multiple sheets (via formulas and DataMesh). Our use case has been unusual, but Smartsheet has been able to handle most of the curves we've thrown at it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Chances are, if you want Smartsheet to do something outside of tracking a project, you'll have to upgrade your account. We went through a series of premium upgrades when finding out our current subscription would only get us so far. Main pain points were limitations in sharing, integration and data intake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed us to compile information gathering processes into one place for information consistency, replacing multiple points of entry.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better Integration
Robust spreadsheet program
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that sets this program apart in my opinion, is the fact that you can add attachments and comments that will stay associated with the row you upload them too.
What do you dislike about the product?
For people who are used to using Excel or Google sheets, some of the shortcuts and commands are different so you are having to re-learn something that may already be second nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This works for people across businesses - they can even access without an account. You can change sharing and editing permissions and they don't need to have an Office subscription or Google account to use it.
Smartsheet collaboration is wonderful!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that smartsheet allows the file storage along with the features similar to excel or google sheets. I also love that you can set reminders by line and e-mail the contributors about a specific line item. One of the best features is that each individual user can sort the sheet how they like it and it doesn't change the view for the other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the system can be so complex that the options to set up a sheet can be overwhelming for new users. Overall, I have very little to list about dislikes of this product. I really feel strongly that it has helped us tremendously!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a very geographically challenged organization. So allowing this type of collaborative work is crucial! This system also allows for a lot of tracking across multiple departments to input their "piece" of information and to have a final product that is cohesive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this product. It has solved so many document storage and reconciling issues within our organization and across departments. It has also allowed so much file storage to become paperless which was a large part of why we moved to Smartsheet!
Great collaborative spreadsheet/tracker
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to keep up with projects, goals, status of items, etc. on Smartsheet. The forms and surveys are also super helpful in tracking information and gauging insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few quirks within Smartsheet, like the inability to create multiple tabs within a sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization, project management and team collaboration are huge benefits! I don't have any major problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work with your team through Smartsheet and make live updates, unlike an Excel spreadsheet.
Smartsheet review by a digital project manager
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is user-friendly and much simpler to learn than Microsoft Project, yet it is still rich in features. New additions like the 'Timeline' view offer excellent visual representations of plans with minimal configuration. The ability to create templates allows me to set up templates for others and quickly start my own plans. The folder structures make storing and retrieving plans easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The print, save, and PDF functions are subpar, making it difficult to export the information you want to share. Managing accounts is also quite laborious, particularly when amending usernames and email addresses. It feels like some premium features, such as changing email addresses, should be standard settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet addresses the need for creating quick, simple, and standardised project and program plans within my team and my organisation. Its intuitive interface benefits me by reducing the time spent learning the software and training others, especially for regular Excel users. I can organize all my plans in folders by project and stage, making it easy to find, reuse, and repurpose old plans.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The export function is a bit unyielding with smart sheet - its best to share the sheet as a live document
