Smartsheet Creates Efficiency and Enables Great Project Communication
What do you like best about the product?
I use Smartsheet daily to track orders and projects. My project managers and engineers are able to check this information when they aren't able to log in to our VPN, which is fantastic. Being able to send out a live link to those who don't have Smartsheet is also a wonderful capability that isn't always available with other systems. The attachments function keeps me from having to bog down the sent folder of my email as they can be viewed without having to download the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of using Smartsheet is that I'm duplicating the information that is already in my accounting software (where I enter my orders). It would be fantastic if the two could somehow talk to one another!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet solves the problem of keeping everyone on my team informed at all times as to what orders have been placed, if they have shipped and if they have shipped when they are due to arrive. Before Smartsheet, I would receive numerous emails a day and had started keeping track of things on individual excel spreasheets. This also allows order information to be found without my fellow employees having to be logged in to our VPN. They can look right on their phone instead of booting up their laptop!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before Smartsheet, our company was lacking organization. I know that others in my company use it for time management, scheduling and the list could go on and on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Smartsheet to anyone who is on the fence about it!
Smartsheet is FABULOUS!
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it is like Excel and Project COMBINED!
What do you dislike about the product?
Still learning it, so I have no complaints as of yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet doesn't really solve my problems; it just makes creating spreadsheets and schedules very easy and easy to train others!
Powerful Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Very good templates are available as a starting point for your particular task. Customization is fairly easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the programing capabilities are a little difficult to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Smartsheet to manage a portfolio of leased properties to ensure expiry dates and notice dates are not missed.
Smartsheet Tool is useful but does have limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I am able to use Smartsheet to complete real-time collaboration across sites on various enterprise level items such as Approved Supplier Lists, Audit Schedules, Program Timelines and RAID logs.
What do you dislike about the product?
My understanding is that Smartsheet can be leveraged for so much more but it is not very intuitive in other uses. The use as an online excel file is very straightforward. The solution would benefit from the addition of how to tutorials online.
It is also limited in how I can leverage the tool for meetings. It would be great to have a ppt integration that allows me to pull gantt charts into a ppt slide. Currently I have to build these out separately which creates extra, non-value added work.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time collaboration across the enterprise is much easier especially when your company has an aversion to SharePoint. It is also useful for creating Gannt charts.
Smartsheet review
What do you like best about the product?
Smatsheet helps me organize my project timelines by listing milestones and subtasks. It also lets me assign tasks to my resources to make sure all the resources are aware of their duties and complete them by the marked deadline. Smartsheet also allows the user to view a Gantt chart populated when you create the project plan. This helps project managers visualize their projects ahead of time. It is also free to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some "Smartsheet" functionality is hard to grasp and may need additional learning before you can use them. One example would be using predecessors; I found this feature harder to understand at first. But now, I use it daily, and there is a ton of documentation to help new users out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I am solving with Smartsheet is identifying how long a project will take and forecasting resources for tasks. I can also share smartsheet documents with the customer and discuss timelines of projects which is helpful. A benefit is that smartsheet is super easy to use and does not require much technical knowledge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Smartsheet as it is very useful in managing projects/visualizing Gantt charts. There is documentation to help use smartsheet too.

What do you dislike about the product?
* New apps are not always fully baked with released and don't follow the logic of existing apps. It creates confusion for users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We streamlined our PMO process by building templates (project plan, weekly status report) and executive summary reports used across the organization to drive client readiness. In a short amount of time (less than 6 months), we removed frictions and escalations in the organization.
We built a customer request process in Smartsheet that supports growth revenue by giving the right level of information (via notifications, approval workflows, etc.) to account management and ultimately resulted in cutting deliver turn around time and increasing client satisfaction.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend mapping the processes you are building in Smartsheet to identify gaps and pain points before starting the implementation. I'd also recommend for the first implementation to add a launch package to your agreement and benefit from Smartsheet consultants through the process. And lastly, I strongly recommend getting certified as it will give you a basic understanding of Smartsheet.

every task owner requires an account. sometimes the customer is a task owner and they are not using smartsheet so you have to force them to use the tool

Gant charts, scheduling, collaboration
Smartsheets does it all!
What do you like best about the product?
The templates!! I've been a user of Smartsheets for several years now and have only recently discovered the templates feature. This has been incredibly helpful for other tasks that I normally would do outside of Smartsheets.

I don't really have any faults. Smartsheets has steadily covered all bases for the things that I need.

The easiness to view the overall picture; The ability to coordinate with different teams; The capability to keep track of progress; No competitions, but complementary

sometime time is hard to change just because the lines are under a section. Maybe this is an advantage to force me changing the time for all lines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
scheduling; communications with different teams; no financial benefit yet by using this; more productive by the strengthened communication;
