Automation and creating reports from project data is HUGE timesaver.
What do you like best about the product?
Consolidating data from multiple sheets into dedicated dashboards or reports has dramatically improved work efficiency. I like the time-saving features, as Smartsheet helps me create various unique reports to track multiple projects and tasks simultaneously. What sets it apart from other software solutions is that it allows users to add many tasks/files/details at once effortlessly. Besides, the boards can be easily shared with unauthorized (e.g., partners) users without additional costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building portfolio estimations and metrics with complex formulas and implementing automatic calculations for dashboards can be time-consuming, which is a significant drawback of Smartsheet. Moreover, the inability to schedule automatic updates for reports and dashboards is another aspect that I find frustrating. Changes or "automation" cannot be reflected in reports until the required sheet is opened.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet has been instrumental in managing workloads and completing multiple tasks simultaneously. My team can now keep track of various ongoing or upcoming tasks and goals, allowing directors and managers to always stay on top of team activities.
Excellent alternative to Microsoft Project
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has all of the functionality of Microsoft Project that I need to use for my role in planning engineering projects. Gantt charts look professional and are easy to set up and manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet does lack some of the functionality of Microsoft Project and, although these features aren't ones I particularly use, it does require some re-learning to how I used to use Project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is used for planning both major engineering projects and minor improvement projects. It is also used to effectively communicate project programmes to senior management and to bring contractors in line with timeline expectations. Smartsheet benefits me by allowing me to quickly pull together Gantt charts to present to key figures within the business.
Smartsheet review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that smartshet has several different features in one place. And you can also connect with other applications. Smartsheet is very customizable and adaptable for different sectors and departments. It is possible to make long working flows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately the smartsheet has limitations on the graphics. For example, it is not possible to create overlapping graphics. In addition, another limitation is the fact that the Smartsheet form cannot show a pre -filled information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is helping my task, projects and portfolios management. So I can optimize work time in my daily life and I'm more productive. This way, I can get an overview of what my team and I need to do.
Positive Experience, Easy to get Started
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet helps to organize information similar to Excel or other spreadsheet data tracking software. The ease of sharing information across team members and to different devices is one of the best perks. Keeping task lists, action items, and general project logs in 1 place across many users saves time and streamlines efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the simplicity of Smartsheet can be its downfall. However, there are many great tutorials on how to customize or increase your knowledge to use more of the tools offered with the program. I sometimes find it frustrating that simple tasks are not intuitive along with icons that may not be familiar in certain menus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly, Smartsheet aids in streamling task management and overall project management workflows. It is used to collaborate between team members and project consultants to review upcoming milestones, action items, due dates, and general tracking.
Good product for real time data upload and updates
What do you like best about the product?
The data we enter updates in real-time as well as provides a dashboard that can easily display metrics based on the input. It is super valuable for our business
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Smartsheet was slightly more interactive with other Software programs such as excel. I understand there are probably things out of Smartsheet's control. However, it would be nice to have an easier way to copy templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it in real estate to manage large capital projects and unit renovations. Because the data can be updated in real time, it allows us to check status of projects and track ROI. The dashboards are super helpful to give us a high level understanding of where we are at with certain projects.
Smartsheet delivers
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has allowed us to create an ecosystem to track and visualize project status. The ability to have a single page feed multiple dashboards, as well as having dashboards informed by different sheets, has been a game-changer.
We've also improved the utilization of trackers, increased the consistency of meeting deadlines, and provided up-to-date information by leveraging the automation features available. The wide assortment of templates mean we don't have to build anything from scratch, which has saved us countless human hours.

What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, we've been pleased with Smartsheet. I wish we could utilize more advanced formulas like I can in Excel. However, the convenience of team members not having to be as savvy to utilize formulas or scripts to automate largely outweighs this problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps us solve support requests through the entire project life-cycle. We're able to roll up to various dashboards, minimizing email back and forth when teams need updates. It's solved the issue of tracking people down when we need updates; they are automatically reminded when they haven't inputted the necessary information. This alone has saved us a substantial amount of time.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can not think of anything I dislike about Smartsheets; it has been a fantastic tool. I would say I only wish it was around 10 years ago. I think it would be great if more people new about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Smart Sheets like a GANT Chart and input all my objectives and the tasks that must be completed for me to succeed. It helps keep me on track and allows me to complete tasks in good time with notifications set.
Great program, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like how we can upload documents, photos and everyone on our team has access to them no matter which work site they are on. It is also very easy to create graphs and charts to show how we are tracking month to month
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to login on certain web browsers and it can take several attempts sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am unaware of any problems that are being solved at this point in time.
A super powerful tool once you get the basics down
What do you like best about the product?
I've been really impressed with how powerful Smartsheet is. Especially when your trying to deploy a process across many users, it makes standardizing things super easy. I also liked how you can have a sheet that is the source of truth for information but then pull that data in on other sheets where it's relevant.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is pretty steep at first. I think it depends on how many templated sheets your organization puts together as that helps give you a starting place. It has also taken some getting used to being that there aren't tabs. It makes it a little more difficult having to link to every sheet you might want to navigate to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves having to share out sheets for every functional area that teams are using a particular tool. It allows you to set up as an administrator and have everyone work off their own versions. This saves a lot of time in getting something out at scale.
Great capabilities for integrations and collaborative work management
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet integrates seamlessly with a lot of other tools. Its API documentation is excellent and very helpful for developers. Its collaborative work management solutions are compelling.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Smartsheet platform can be challenging for new users to learn, and its user interface may not be user-friendly enough to support the learning process. It would be beneficial if Smartsheet improves its interface to enhance users' experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We integrated Smartsheet to our website through API, and further integrated it to slack to receive notifications for form submissions and approve/reject requests directly from within Slack. By developing this automation and workflows using Smartsheet, we were able to save several hours per day of human effort and improved business process.
