Many useful capabilities that may require a bit of a learning curve.
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a great tool. My organization uses many of the templates for our various needs, and many of us use it every day. I often use it for project management, and we're currently creating a CRM within one of the templates. It is a very versatile tool that keeps all of my varying tasks organized and easily integrates into my day-to-day routine. My organization also loves how we can create workflows with reminders--these reminders certainly keep us on top of our deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that using Smartsheet effectively is a bit of a learning curve. As a small business, my organization doesn't have the time to dedicate to learning all the ins-and-outs of the tool. We've even considered hiring a "Smartsheet Expert" for a short time to help us ensure we're using the tool effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is solving all sorts of our problems. Smartsheet is our catch-all. It keeps us organized on long-term projects and day-to-day tasks. We use the automation to link different sheets together and send the entire team reminders of their responsibilities. Because we don't have a project manager on our team right now, Smartsheet essentially fills that role for us.

Options/flexibility to do the following:
-Formatting on the email for "Alert Someone" block automation workflow
-Trigger an automation workflow by the cell link
-Set the scaling on the axis for dashboard
-Have an area on the sheet that is not affected if the column type is a date or a contact list
- Copy paste screenshots on top of attachments
- Have a feature on workflows that can able to detect if a date is between two columns with date type - not just an exact date to enter on the condition
- Have a modified date for changes in a column not just for rows changes

Smartsheet offers features unavailable in other spreadsheet applications
What do you like best about the product?
What I find so helpful about Smartsheet over other applications I have used in the past (such as Excel) is that when using a shared worksheet or spreadsheet, all the information in the row stays together when filtering or sorting. This way, when multiple users are accessing it at the same time, I don't have to worry that people have sorted or filtered some rows or columns, and information has been hidden, and then it suddenly isn't linked with someone's record anymore. Additionally, I like the fact that I can run reports on the information to know what was changed and by whom, as well as send out reminder emails to people on a regular cadence - so they know when they have actions assigned to them.
I also am grateful for the free training which is available with Smartsheet, so that I don't have to try and figure things out on my own - it is easy to implement additional features into my work, which aren't available with other applications.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would say that the biggest downside of Smartsheet is that some of my colleagues are resistant to learn a new software - as they were brought up on the MS Platform of programs, so they question why we have to use something new. I would like to be able to change some of the fonts and formatting the way that I can in Excel, and be able to resize the data, so that it all "fits to my screen". That is probably the struggle that I have most - or be able to freeze rows or columns, so that as I scroll up or down, I know what my headers are.
It would be nice if I could easily link the data or smartsheet into presentations - so that it would show up as a visual versus just a link.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Smartsheet is solving our challenge of tracking data when it comes to completion of action items, tracking which employees are working on which projects, allocation of resources, and ensuring that multiple people can access and work in the Smartsheet at the same time, filtering and sorting the data as needed - as well as running reports on the data that suits their needs without creating problems for other users. It is a game changer!
Practical, easy to use software
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is very easy to learn and easy to use. They have a profound template base that can give you a solid head start on any sheet you need to build. I love that you can add viewers of the sheets who don't need full accounts. We use it for a company-wide quality reporting database, and the form functions allow our field personnel to report data quickly from the field, which is then centralized on a Smartsheet with workflows that send out notifications to all relevant company employees. We also use it to track product testing, budgets, and workflows. VERY easy to use and has a low barrier to entry to learn all the core functions.
We also use the software to integrate with our on proprietary software. It tracks user issues and deployments. This was very easy to set up and integrate.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the download features don't translate well - for instance, if you have pictures in your Smartsheet as an attachment, they don't download automatically or attach the row when it is downloaded. For the most part, formulas transfer well to Excel, but not 100%.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our issues with quality reporting and centralizing the information. This was a critical business function we needed solved. The form functions allow us to get information quickly from the field and get the information delivered automatically to all stakeholders in the company.
Is great for project tracking. It allows us to stay organized and meet deadlines efficiently.
What do you like best about the product?
It is amazing for all project topics tracking.
It has a lot of features that make the reporting and tracking easier. Even for a wide range of projects.
It is very user friendly.
Smartsheet is also great for real time collaborative work; it has a intuitive interface and it provides customizable features and options, which is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
In my organization it would be perfect to personalize and remove the right corner blue button with the "request access" form.
Also, I think the personalization and automatization features could be better.
And I think that all users agree that the limitation of the data in the sheets it´s disliked.
The integration with other tools and systems are a bit complex.

Dashboards, KPIs, and more!
What do you like best about the product?
All information can be found in one place. Links to different sheets can be placed on the dashboard. Customizing the dashboard to display information as well as links makes it easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most people have used Microsoft Excel in the past which is easy to use. Smartsheets does not have the same format which makes it longer for training purposes and would make users revert back to spreadsheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All associates are able to locate information in one central place. Each department has a Smartsheets dashboard so this limits the amount of questions from associates to find information.
Smartsheets helps us launch projects on time
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can lock columns where only certain people can fill them out. I also really like that the date automatically populates and those can't be adjusted by team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be helpful to have an additional email be send if you didn't acknowledge a comment that you are tagged in. Smartsheet emails are easily missed in my inbox, because I work in 20+ smartsheets and often the emails get lumped together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us launch media campaigns on time
