Solutions oriented intuitive program that will help you work more efficiently!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has solved multiple workflow bottlenecks, increased productivity, added valuable insight to multiple areas in our company that needed eyes as well as positively influnced our sales program and kept sales organized in a way we were previously missing which has boosted sales and increased profit.
We are also learning about WorkApps and will be building ours out in the near future which is super exciting!!
When and if we run into a snag the customer support is second to none! We have always been very well taken care of, never left hanging waiting for a reply and issues are solved quickly without issue.
Our team has dealth with several different programs and platforms over the past 6 years and by bringing Smartsheet in we were able to cut out three other (expensive) programs because Smartsheet offered better options that suited our needs and are easy to use and impliment into our everyday workflow.
Smartsheet is a program we use on a daily basis, throughout the day and it crosses over all teams. There is something for every team member to make their worklife easier.
Integrating Smartsheet into our daily workflow has been simple and with the support of the Smartsheet team it has been even easier than any of us anticipated.

What do you dislike about the product?
To be completely transparent there are not things I dislike about Smartsheet. There are things in every program and platform that could run differently and/or smoother at times, however, with Smartsheet I do not find myself saying that much at all.
Currently there is nothing I can say I dislike, I am more than happy, as is out team!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Several months ago we were able to terminate our user agreement with a different older and bulkier CRM program and bring that information to Smartsheet.
I spearheaded the project in order to not only save money for the company, but more importantly, to make our sales process and customer management tool fit our needs within a program that is intuitive and user friendly for all.
I was able to automate a workflow that puts information where we want it which enables the team to stay in the know when it comes to sales & sales trends. We have been able to create reports that give us the information we need in order to focus our energy in the right places and strategise for current and future success of our company and the clients we serve.
Our old CRM has NOTHING on Smartsheet! We have already seen a huge increase in organization, employee buy in, project management, client retention, sales trends, and profitability.

SmartSheets is the best project management tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there is now an app for my computer, tablet, and phone. I always have access to it and it updates in real time. I like how easy it is to use, and everyone that I share a Sheet with understands it seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have 20+ projects that I am managing. I like to "set a reminder" to remember certain deadlines. When I get the reminder in my email, I don't know what project the task is for. I wish the project name could come with the reminder.
Please add more colors.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All teammates know their tasks, when it is due, and how long it should take to do. Accountability at its best.
We need to prepare design/construction schedules for clients and they look great in SS.

Amazing product for tracking, displaying and sharing data
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheets work great at tracking data and presenting it in an easy-to-read format via dashboards options with charts and graphs. We primarily use it to create forms and track responses. We use the workflow feature to assign tasks for each form response to make sure it's reviewed by the appropriate people and completed. Having a dashboard feature makes it easier to visually share large amounts of data and information. We utilize our dashbaords to have forms, important information/reminders and data all in one snapshot.
Working in higher education, we often have to share data accross colleges and this makes for a much better solution than other options. I like that the data can be shared across teams and that you can manage who has access to specific items.
Smartsheets also offers several different types of pre-built templates that you can utilize instead of starting from scratch. These can be helpful if you can find a version that works for your needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have quite the same functionality as Excel, so if you are looking to splice your data in different ways, it is not the best tool. Also, I have run into issues with copying and pasting data from excel, which makes for more work to type data out manually. I'm used to pivot tables and quickly adjusting the information so this take a little more time to finesse the information.
Smartsheets also require a fair amount of training to understand how it works. If you are tech-savvy, you will likely pick it up faster than others. Once built out, Smartsheets functions better for those who are less technically inclined. They do have some templates but they are for a very specific purpose and not suited to some of the situations we need. I have been able to use them to as a starting point but it can be cumbersome to edit. It's almost as much work to start from scratch.
At times it does seem a bit clunky but they have been making some small improvements over time. I'm hoping they can allow for additional transferablity of data to/from other sources.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now able to create workflows with emails to alert the appropriate people when tasks need completing. Being able to assign different roles to different team members is invaluable.
After using multiple software products to accomplish what Smartsheets can do with one, we are more efficient. It allows us to easily track requests and share data in one place. Smartsheets has also been a great tool to allow us to share information across teams and manage the data. We find it to be easy use and it keeps us on task to complete projects.
We also started using this for our meeting agendas. We can assign topcis to specific people and can also now add meeting minutes or notes directly to the agenda so that we can keep the information together. Previously we would have to look up agenda and minutes separately but now we have them in one convenient spot.
Overall, Smartsheets has transformed some of our daily tasks for the better!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking at Smartsheets as a tool for your business, please know that this is a great product for tracking data, assigning tasks and presenting data. I think it works best for those doing more analytical reporting work but it can also be used to collect data and track different types of information.
Great low-code/no-code process and workflow solution!! Love Smartsheet and all its functionality!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is incredibly easy to use. For the basic user, it is as easy as creating and editing a spreadsheet. It is also easy to build in workflows and processes without having advanced coding experience. Smartsheet listens to its users and continues to improve their platform. After reviewing several platforms, we found that Smartsheet covered the majority of our needs all within a single platform. Our team members have found Smartsheet very easy to use and implement across their groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that is incredibly disappointing to me is how segmented it is. The functionality is broken up into different "apps," and each app is an additional cost. So yes, Smartsheet has a ton of functionality with the purchase of all the add-ons. I would prefer an all-inclusive solution!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Smartsheet for our project schedules, proposal development, PTO scheduling and approvals, and other request management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would advise you to give Smartsheet a try. Sign up one of your smaller teams for a 30-day trial and use it for a specific workflow or process. Also, it is essential to remember that Smartsheet is NOT Excel!! Use the workflows and automation to manage the process. Create reports to pull the data you need and place those reports on a dashboard. The reports are live! Adding items and marking items complete should be completed from within the dashboard, and the sheet itself is essentially the database.
Great tool for timeline management
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool that you can use for timeline management and making sure you hit your deadlines on time. It is easy to share, download, and add others to the sheet -- making timelines is so smooth and easy with Smartsheet!
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike how in the calendar view, you can't view the entire task name. It just truncates it and doesn't let you wrap the text so you can read the whole title! If this feature was fixed, I would be able to use the calendar feature with my colleagues. Without it, I can't use this feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Smartsheet for timeline management and creation. The platform is extremely beneficial for project management responsibilities. I can create, edits, and access the timeline with ease, which makes me productive when using the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this tool to others if the task name in the calendar view didn't truncate.
Happy User
What do you like best about the product?
very user friendly. as a heavy excel user, I had no issue using Smartsheet without any prior experience with it. It also keeps everything in records. Whoever and whatever changes are made to a cell, I can easily pull out the history of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
linking cells from two differernt sheets is very time consuming. if Smartsheet can implement something like vlookup to link the cells from different sheets, it will be very very big help to me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
tracibilities is a big win here. instead of taking notes to record what and when something gets changed, Smartsheet does it automatically. it is also very helpful for internal discussion since the discussion can be narrow down to specific item, issue, or concern, listed on the project sheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't have the same user satisfaction with any other project management software.
Smartsheet will excel your project management and planning skills
What do you like best about the product?
I love the automation, reporting features, calendar / gantt view, and connector to Jira that Smartsheet offers. The jira integration has removed a lot of manual processes my team used to do. Assigning tasks is also more advanced than other spreadsheet tools. Smartsheet is well put together and fully customizable for a variety of applications. I highly reccommend this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it can be challenging to get started and learn the locations of features on Smartsheet. Center of Excellence helped a lot, but not all employees at my company have access to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to plan in Smartsheet with Jira data linked has tremendously helped my team save time and prevent errors compared to our previous manual processes.
User Friendly and Intuitive Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is super easy to navigate, so everyone on our team, no matter their tech skills, can use it without any hassle. The variety of templates is a huge time-saver for setting up new projects and workflows quickly. We love the real-time collaboration features, like comments and attachments, which have really boosted our team communication. The automation tools are great for cutting down on manual tasks and making sure we don’t miss anything important. Plus, it integrates smoothly with other tools we use, like Google Workspace, making our overall workflow even better.
What do you dislike about the product?
While generally smooth, we’ve occasionally experienced lag with larger sheets, which can slow down our work. Optimizing performance for large data sets would be a great improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a sales support manager, I pull data from multiple platforms and elegantly display the results. With Dashboards on SmartSheet, I'm able to do this with relative ease and provide our executive team with the data that they need in a clean and simple dashboard.
Great Features and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very clean and straight to the point for Project Management and Task Management functions and features.
The product team is licensing to customer feedback and I have seen a lot of new features and enhancements deployed.
The integrations with Okta and other applications is a plus.
