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?
We use Smartsheet for project management. We create plans for our projects using it.
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.
