Formula wise - it is not as powerful as excel but the besic and needed functions are there

What do you dislike about the product?
- Include a notes section without disrupting the entire sheet's formatting.

- Date formatting appears strange.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solve the ability to provide a clear outline of tasks that need to be completed and who needs to complete them.
Not an Excel replacement, but an amazing tool for automation and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The automation tools can do quite a lot for you once you learn how to use them. Collaboration is SO seemless. The automated reminders have been very, very useful in several different situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit of a learning curve if you're used to excel, and unfamiliar with logical operators. It can't do everything excel can. Some implementations are a bit more clunky than excel. You have to know your use case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps take a lot of the manual work out of tasks. For me, that means it identifies items that haven't been taken care of, and sends out reminders automatically. It moves items that have been completed to a separate sheet, with date of completion. This saves a lot of time and mental energy that would have been a poor use of time to execute manually. The reminders and automated workflows, especially, really take a load off my mind and out of my Outlook calendar. I can't express enough how useful and freeing it is to be able to set a reminder or action trigger and then feel confident that I can just forget it and trust it will execute when the criteria has been met! It helps keep my tasks much more organized and my mind freer.
I also find it easier and less buggy to coordinate on a Smartsheet than an Excel sheet. The real-time syncing, editing privileges, and Webforms all help me to be able to set the amount of collaboration I want (sometimes I don't want anyone messing with anything, but want input from a large list of people). The calendar view is very useful when coordinating and planning work and holiday schedules. It transforms dates into a more visual format which for me is much easier to digest.

Smartsheet has been helpful in organizing different aspects of our day to day work
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of Smartsheet in allowing us to address many of the different issues we face
What do you dislike about the product?
The import of files from other softwares such as Microsoft Project is not very good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet allows us mainly to keep track of project evolution, expenses, maintenance and repairs
Great for accessing data in a centralized location
What do you like best about the product?
We are a very large organization and need to utilize Smartsheet across departments and with users who may or may not be computer savvy. Smartsheet makes it easy for us to train all users for data entry and reporting. Smartsheet has allowed us to record and track data and projects in a convienent and searchable place which multiple users can access at once. Love that it functions like excel however is better for project tracking and automating work flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
For experienced users, it doesn't give many options for different ways to organize or customize your data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously had a hard time organizing data in one place which multiple users could access at once. With smartsheet this makes it possible for collaboration across team and departments.
At one point we moved to hive for project management and I had a tough time getting it to function as well as smartsheet. Between the organizing data, colorcoordinating and being able to manage tasks in a consise and easy to read sheet, smartsheet has been the best all around.
Easy of use for those not savvy with computers has made training a lot easier.

Well-designed Project Management solution for a Spreadsheet-driven business
What do you like best about the product?
Using Smartsheet is easy and intuitive if your company is like mine and runs largely on spreadsheets. The interface is fresh and feature-rich while not being too complicated to figure out fairly easily without hours of training videos. That said, project managers can deep-dive in Smartsheet as well, whether you're looking for team collaboration, automation, notifications, ghant charts, card-based views, etc. I like that I can switch from a card view to a grid view and back easily and reports are nice for summarizing key information for management consumption. The ease with which you can onboard and collaborate with teammates is also a plus with Smartsheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main dislike about Smartsheet is the inability to do certain things that are possible with common spreadsheets such as merge cells and create a more graphical presentation than just columns and rows. I understand this protects certain features like filtering, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to collaborate in a simple, freeform spreadsheet. Not a big gripe, but you asked!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows our team to collaborate on critical, detailed information without overwhelming users that don't use it frequently. We have collaborated on annual budgets, maintained dynamic lists of contractor agreements, and collaborated directly with customers on their jobs and projects.
Smartsheet Review
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Smartsheet is the field mapping capability. Allowing to easily have one field entry mapped to many other Smartsheet locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to be able to have quick tab access to multiple Smartsheets within one project, similar to Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving many general project management duties and allowing ease of communication between many different teams. It keeps everyone on the same page with project pipeline items.
An excellent solution for project planning and management.
What do you like best about the product?
SmartSheet is ideal for allowing our team to plan and manage a large number of our development projects. The ability to provide differing levels of access, notifications, and views makes it ideal for all our staff to use the tool efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really a significant downside that our team has encountered. If we had to note something, it would be the admittedly-minor amount of effort need to 'learn' the product. While most users find it to be very intuitive, it can take certain staff a small amount of time to become comfortable with SmartSheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is multi-functional, and SmartSheet allows each group of members to view and edit information that is applicable to them. We can provide views that avoid displaying unnecessary information/details, while emphasizing data that is more relevant to that particular user. The cloud-based nature of SmartSheet is critical as well to allowing anywhere/anytime access.
Great tool for project plannings and analytics
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboard feature that allows multiple sheets to feed into and display data in several types of formats in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the sheets had formulas like excel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheets is solving our need for team collaboration on projects and automatic emails and workflows we can add to customize.
Once you learned the ins and outs its a breeze for project management.
What do you like best about the product?
Scheduling. I like the format of the Gantt chart. helps us create construction schedules.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its hard to learn at first and get used to the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling. having things clearly written out in schedules weekly and monthly helps us plan better and move more efficiently.
