Great System
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheets is a great way to track and organize jobs. I love the filters that we can use to find exactly what i am needing information-wise in Smartsheet. It helps keep track of all of our jobs!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could mass print instead printing each page individually, Other than that I love using smartsheet for tracking of our jobs and work orders. So if there could be a way to mass print i would have no complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is showing us the productivity of our crews, what work is still outstanding, and what the statuses of our materials and crews delivering and installing materials
Great management tool for today's work environment.
What do you like best about the product?
As a frequent/experienced Excel user, I was introduced to Smartsheet as an alternative tool, only to find myself transitioning more of my worksheets from Excel to Smartsheet. In today's work environment, we are often part of teams, and collaboration on projects is crucial to success. In addition to this new way of working, we no longer attend boardroom meetings to discuss our tasks and compare notes and progress; instead, we communicate using virtual tools.
This is where Smartsheet comes into play in a big way!!
I will continue using Smartsheet mainly because of the collaboration tools significantly boost productivity, increase accuracy and SAVE time.
The fact that all my project stakeholders could work on one sheet simultaneously is truly a time saver for all of us. This eliminates the need for constant emailing for updates or waiting for one user to enter data into a file placed on a shared drive, and others get that “Read Only” message.
Another great tool I find myself using is Automations, which works for you to remind users of tasks, past-due items, and flagged issues. No longer requiring me to review the spreadsheet, look for discrepancies and past-due items, and waste 30+ min emailing related users. Smartsheet does all for me!!
Then we got to mention two more great features. The easy-to-build FORMS will flow the data entered by others right directly into your worksheet without the need to copy/paste from that update email you received at some point. Plus, the ability to add attachments to each record (row of your data).
As an advanced Smartsheet user, you can create excellent charts and reports that will auto-update for you and your stakeholders to view the latest trends and matrix.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say there is anything I dislike exactly, but …
The fact that some features (tools) require additional licenses (extra cost) i.e., the ability to share WorkApps with unlicensed users or PivotTables. Limited formatting of DATE fields, limited selection of fonts and lack of dynamic filters.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet significantly helps with data collection from multiple users, not only stakeholders but also those not shared to the sheet by using forms. Smartsheet Automation eliminated the need for manually generated email reminders and past-due notices to task holders.
Master your project tracking with Smartsheet
What do you like best about the product?
I was introduced to Smartsheet several years ago by my previous boss. Our team used it to keep track of projects and I was immediately impressed by the different features that are not availablen in Excel. After switching roles and joining a new team, I asked my new company to get Smartsheet licenses because that's how much I enjoyed using the software! The features I like the most are Dashboards and Reports. The ability to summarize sheets and compile information from different sheets has been crucial for my successful project tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside I've found to using Smartsheet is that my collaborators are unwilling to learn yet another software. There is a little bit of a learning curve in order to make the most of all of the features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet has helped us a lot with collaboration and being able to manage tasks across a cross-functional team. We love being able to have checklists in Smartsheet that we can view as a Gantt chart.
An Exceptional Resource for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which the grid view and columns may be personalized for project management is one of the aspects of Smartsheet that I appreciate the most. For projects with many moving pieces, you can be as precise or as general as you like, involve participants from multiple teams, and monitor your progress. At my organization, one of the hats I wear is overseeing the ongoing process improvements in our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which affects more than one department. When an item is delegated to a particular person or when the status of work shifts from "not started" to "in progress" to "complete," the email notification system comes in handy for both of these occurrences. If your project's state is subject to examination, this is also a valuable instrument to demonstrate to executive leadership the development that has been accomplished in the endeavor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, you have to manually enter the percentages of completion for jobs, which isn't the easiest thing to predict. Therefore I think the % completion functionality may use some work. An alternative would be to provide a drop-down menu to select a percentage, such as 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%.
There is also a discrepancy in the auto-save option; sometimes, my work is saved automatically, and other times it isn't, and alerts are only displayed after 10 minutes without saving.
Smartsheets is fantastic. However, it might be better in a few ways. Formulas and integrations are two examples of more complex capabilities that may be challenging for first-time users to grasp. They might help those who are just starting to hold it better. Also, the plans' prices could be too steep for others, especially those with smaller budgets or who need the most fundamental capabilities. They may be able to find cheaper alternatives.

Best tools for Project and Resource Management
What do you like best about the product?
Useful in easy reports creation and Dashboards. You can create Forms for access reviews, User inputs, Feedback etc. You can collaborate within your organization with multiple sharing options. Can integrate smart sheet with other SAAS tools like Microsoft Teams. You can use formulas in grid to calculate values and make the same reference in other grids, which is quite intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing access to sheet is only limited to 100 people at once; there should be option to share sheet with as many users at once. Similar way, you cannot remove all collaborators from sheet at once, should be automated to remove all at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to create pivots on smartsheet reports. Which is helping to create real time dashboards.
Creating dashboards is easier now with multiple options in user friendly way. You can select dashboard background color which helps to visualize graphs easily.

Smartsheet is an easy-to-use tool that takes the load off your head for ongoing projects. Smartsheet can prove to be a handy tool in project management.

Great to align processes
What do you like best about the product?
Sharing the information over the Internet is the best thing as I can get all teams working over the same information with zero to no effort
What do you dislike about the product?
For some folks the learning curve is high. I miss some basic tutorials
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet provides us with a common platform for sharing project information. It helped with internal communication. In some cases we are sharing projects with customers, which is awsome.
Smartsheet has changed my life! We use it for project plans and it is extremely flexible.
What do you like best about the product?
The performance of the tool is fast. The ability to share with anyone is key for our business. We also quite regularly us the forms for internal surveys which is super handy. We also utilize the forms for client requests and can customize the form to meet the needs of each individual client. This has really helped our consultants with email inbox management when the customer does not have a formal tool to manage requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly think there is nothing I can say that I dislike. I have been using SmartSheet for years, and I use it for business and personal projects. I refer colleagues and friends to SmartSheet all of the time. I am your biggest cheerleader!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to quickly create project plans and share with anyone without complicated permissions (like Sharepoint, Google Drive, etc.). The real-time updates are key for us in our business.
Great tool for Project Management, but also useful for any and all departments
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is very useful for team collaboration and working towards a common goal. I like that it is cloud-based and "no-code," so real-time changes and upgrades to our process can happen as needed, rather than sending to a developer and waiting to hear back. The templates are also great for new users and people who may not immediately see their use case.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the administrative functions could be cleaned up. It can be challenging to change or add emails. It also does take some time to learn some of the Smartsheet specific details and formulas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet gives direction and focus to projects. Teamwork is more prominent and as team members use it more and more the functions are becoming easier and easier to accept and implement across the company.
Great for project management, not great for hours tracking
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool to map out activities within a project, gives very clear and precise breakdowns of actions and timings associated with those actions / steps in the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
We wanted to build in the functionality to record and track hor / days spent on those activities too, which you can do by manually adding in a column. But the reporting functionality does not then support an option to pull out hours spent to date across a specific activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheets allows us to accurately review where we are at within a project, and what needs to happen next. This helps us communicate better with our clients on expected delivery dates.
