Marco Nidec - review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of the Smartsheet, you can create a lot of the specifics columns according your needs. Also, you can use the filters to let you vizualization more easy and help to use the tracking our tasks in the daily meeting. You can use the Kanban or board for this, or use also the time line to view a way summarized. Furthermore, the possibility to create forms, reports and dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss of the resource management, for use this options is need to pay more and purchase another licence. In dashboard I miss of the interation, dynamic filters for example. Another function I miss is not have a way to create a pivot table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Today in Nidec GA, a lot of users (project manager) not are using the smartsheet to create yours schedule and even not track your task. The most of the time, the team have a lot of the spreadsheets scattered. Smartsheet is help to standardize and keep the control of the project in a unique place, avoid the missinformation and likely delayes in the projects.
Very usefull tool but does have limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Can help present information into more usable formats and allow Smartsheet’s to be linked into another Smartsheet so you can make a dash board to show high level overview and use that to access multiple other sheets were the data is stored / edited. This allows for quick overview of data / project updates and easy access to data when it needs to be updated
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limitation within Smartsheet – Smartsheet act much like MS excel when it come to data and formula, but it doesn’t have the full range of functionality as MS excel. This can cause problems when trying to do complex functions within Smartsheet and some times requires an alternate approach to be used. There is a number of online resources and forms that can be very usefully in these situations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking of project time lines and tracking updates to end clients – used as a tool in daily meetings to review project status and updates to end clients – this ten allows us to revaluate schedule and resources adjustments based on current progress

One Software for All Management Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Earlier, I used to subscribe to multiple online software for different tasks like Workamajig for time entry, Basecamp for task management. But since last year, I have been using Smartsheet, and I must say that it solves the purpose. Now, I do use it for all my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like about Smartsheet is the User Interface. For example, I'm someone who has been habituated to using Basecamp for Task management. If I compare Basecamp to Smartsheet, it offers a much minimal, clean and intuitive User Interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier I had to subscribe to different online tools for different purposes like Basecamp for project management, Quickbooks for time input and many more. But for the past year, I have been efficiently using Smartsheet for all such things and I must say that it solves the problem and serves its purpose.
Hidden Gem
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet keeps me organized and efficient in my work as a Supervisor managing financial data. It allows search options and automation that I never experienced before. Automation is the upside for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Financial data tends to add up in the tens of thousands pretty quickly, smartsheet only allows up to 20,000 rows on one sheet. After it reaches this limit, additional data is forbidden and also any automation stops working. It's a pain to have to move data or create new sheets for the same thing. One sheet would last us no longer than 3 months.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and communications being sent to appropriate parties via the smartsheet. It also keeps track and history
We finally have an user-friendly tool that allows us to manage our process.
What do you like best about the product?
We really like the flexibility and ease of use in the tool. It was easy to onboard everyone in he company, from Operations to the C-Suite.
What do you dislike about the product?
our only disappointment was the amount of user licensees that come with the initial package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the problem of transparency among team members during any given project.
Automation simplifies manual tasks and facilitates team communication
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
There are many useful features in Smartsheet. One can easily share plans with the entire team, and it functions similarly to Microsoft Project. Creating dependencies across all tasks is smooth, and team members can make adjustments if necessary. Automation helps by simplifying some manual work, saving time and facilitating communication.
What needs improvement?
Currently, I feel that Smartsheet fulfills all my needs. However, I need to investigate more about the product to identify specific areas for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with Smartsheet for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't faced any issues with stability so far. I would rate it as a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Smartsheet is pretty flexible and scalable. I would rate its scalability as eight, acknowledging that I may not be using all its capabilities and not fully aware of possible integrations with other tools or services.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is quite easy. Smartsheet works on the website, and I'm not certain about a desktop version.
What about the implementation team?
One person is enough to handle the installation.
What was our ROI?
Smartsheet saves time for both me and my team. Compared to Microsoft Project, which is more expensive, we save costs using Smartsheet. The savings are approximately around thirty to forty percent.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing might be cheaper per user. I rate it as seven or eight due to its demanding nature. For personal use, I have a monthly subscription, while the company uses an annual basis.
What other advice do I have?
I didn't notice any AI integration, perhaps because I haven't needed it for my use case. However, the ability to automatically create tasks and project timelines could be useful. Rating: 9.
Intuitive Automation for Streamlining Business
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy all the different platforms and ways to organize information. I love that I can put all the data in 1 place, but it can transfer to many different reports for various tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
That formulas cannot be transferred from Excel to Smartsheets. Rewriting the sheets & reports is time consuming and can be difficult to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to have disorganized Project Management and Smartsheets is helping keep accountability. Additionally, it helps with manual, Time-Consuming Processes and data entry by taking a piece of information and dispersing it over multiple reports. It has helped improve operation efficiency.
