Keeps things organized and people connected
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and workflows you can build in. We use Smartsheet for assigning and tracking projects within our team. Team members are notified when they are assigned to a project, when a project is approaching a due date, when someone makes changes to a project, etc. It has made our team feel more productive and connected since implementing it as a standard process.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've been using Smartsheet for over a year and I have no complaints. Each use case we've thought of has worked seamlessly within Smartsheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to track our workload much more accurately. By creating sheets and connecting those to dashboards, we are able to see real-time data of how many projects we have at one time, where those projects are coming from, and where we need to allocate additional resources. Since implementing Smartsheet, management has been able to see how much work the marketing team gets done and we've grown from a team of 6 to a team of 10.
Great spreadsheet, not database
What do you like best about the product?
I've appreciated Smartsheet as a collaborative spreadsheet tool across my team - it's been especially helpful to have multiple collaborators, lockable views, and notifications/automations built in for creating & managing tracking tools such as invoice trackers. I especially use the automated notifications feature to send reminders to update tools or notify teammates when an action has been taken. It's a pretty intuitive platform to use, and it's decently flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet doesn't fit my needs as a relational database - it would be so great to be able to update a record in one sheet and have it seamlessly merge with a related record in another, but without this functionality I can't use it as a CRM in the way I'd like. For example, I'd like to be able to have related & integrated fields for individual and organizational records, where after listing an organization name in an individual contact field, a separate organizational record would update the contact name in a contact field. It's easier to get the sheets to speak to each other on Smartsheet than Excel, but it's not wraparound integrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking invoices and project management - it's useful to see what my teammates are completing and when deadlines have been met.
Powerful product!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet allows my team to streamline processes while automating steps leading to better communication and more efficient execution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building analytical tools in a dashboard for visual purposes is difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large amounts of data input from various sources, automation in completion of steps by stakeholders, transparent communications across our teams
A Flexible Alternative to Excel for Project & Milestone Management
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Smartsheet streamlines project tracking through customizable templates, easy-to-use task dependencies, and real-time collaboration features. Unlike Excel, it allows for intuitive Gantt charts, automatic reminders, and seamless updates across team members without managing complex formulas. It’s also helpful that data visualization and reporting are built in, saving time on manual dashboard creation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet occasionally struggles with larger datasets, where filtering or loading multiple views becomes sluggish. Some customization options—such as conditional formatting or advanced calculations—aren’t as robust as Excel, requiring workarounds. Additionally, integrations with other work tools can be limited or require additional fees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me manage project milestones, contact lists, and tracking of key deliverables.
Business collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has long been a tool of choice for collaboration projects and gathering information from different sources. It allows for the creation of forms to gather information and then reporting dashboards to present the information as you would like. It is easy to develop a short term solution and implement it quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet was ahead of it's time but is now starting to show it's age. With Microsoft finally catching up with integrated tools, it is making it harder to justify the use of SmartSheet. A good example these days is the form builder - it is very rigid and does not allow for flexibility based on branding or input. A form is a form, but with better solutions out there, how we gather and use that information is important
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a number of projects that are all running simulatenously. Being able to automate even small parts of each project allows me to focus on other aspects that demand my attention. Smartsheet is a tool that can at least complete simple, automated communication (for example emailing out on specific dates) that ensures my projects are on track and progressing as expected. It also allows for collaboration with colleagues and ensures all my important information is in one spot.
Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
All the organization and automation tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to understand or use other useful tools without having to look up tutorials or LinkedIn Learning classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us gather important information about Ensign College students' intenrships.
Excel functionality but better
What do you like best about the product?
It is aesthetically pleasing and user friendly. It makes identifying and using excel formulas and formatting so much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were side by side tabs to easily click back and forth between.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation to reduce the need for a person to update/notify others via email in a way the reduces the potential for human error.
Powerful and very useful tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how robust of a tool it is and I continue to find new features. It has been a great tool to use while coordinating a large project team and allows for us to keep track of a lot of items.
What do you dislike about the product?
The saving should be more automatic and more often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
creating team "to-do" lists, providing the way for consultants to submit agenda items, taking meeting minutes in an organized way
Excellent software for project management and organization
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has an extensive amount of templates to generate just about any style of sheet you wish to use. It is very helpful for organizing timeline expectations for a team or project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is probably the biggest shortfall for Smartsheet, especially with their new pricing model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet allows us to use one tool to manage large projects. It also allows you to separate items into smaller sheets with a primary sheet that is linked.
Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I appreciate most about Smartsheet is how easily it can be shared across a team, making collaboration smooth and efficient no matter where everyone is working from. It’s also very intuitive to learn — even new users can pick it up quickly without a steep learning curve. Plus, I really like how flexible the platform is, with easy-to-customize templates that help get projects up and running fast. Overall, it’s a great tool for keeping everyone on the same page and projects moving forward!
What do you dislike about the product?
While I really like using Smartsheet for its collaboration and ease of use, there are a couple of things I wish were better. One is the lack of true tabs within a single sheet — I know you can create a workspace with multiple sheets or projects, but it would be more convenient to have tabs, like in Excel, to easily switch between related sections in one place. I also wish Smartsheet allowed for merging cells in certain layouts, which would make formatting and presenting information a bit cleaner for some projects. Overall, I still find it really valuable, but these features would make it even more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps our team stay on top of project management by giving everyone an easy way to interact, update progress, and stay aligned in real time. It keeps all our tasks, timelines, and updates in one place, making collaboration clear and efficient for the whole team.
