My Experience with Smartsheet in Construction
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it links to multiple sheets easily and is available on the web. All my colleagues can access it easily. Also, the automation and form creation is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say when compared to Excel - some of the functions are not transferable, but for the most part the main ones are. There are a few compatibility things like formatting and manipulating the data that I would prefer to be more like Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the construction industry, it is critical to keep account of your material status to give visibility to the end user. Smartsheet allows my team to build out tracking devices that are easy to view and use to enable my team to see the status clearly.
Smartsheet user for 5 years
What do you like best about the product?
I like that i can share it easily with internal/external stakeholders and tag people. Also it centralizing the information vs. MS Project
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that the resource leveling options were not availalble and when the aspects were, they were not very useful. I also would like another way to ping people (perhaps through slack) on their tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me track my project plans and share them with all the relevant stakeholders (internal/external) and helping me utilize the overall gantt/dependencies/etc
Smartsheet is extremely useful for reporting and action tracking purposes on various projects.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create sheets and make them look how you want, with dropdowns, dates, and various information. I also like the reporting functions and how you can visualize your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be very difficult to set up reporting functions and isn't intuitive as to how you're supposed to set up a report/dashboard so you see what you want. Also, I don't think you should have to have multiple sheets with different filters just to make one report/dashboard with the information you want to see.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is solving my problem with keeping track of action items for different projects and initiatives. It's also easy to roll out to other users so they can use it and keep track of things themselves. I like the assigning function also, so you can assign people items and send automatic notifications to them. It's making our department more effective and it's keeping us accountable for all the actions we say we'll complete.
Easy way to keep track of projects and create forms as well as store data
What do you like best about the product?
The form functionality with the ability to save all info in one place makes it easy. The collaborate option as well as ability for multiple users to be on the same sheet and enter info at the same time is a great feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations when it comes to available templates to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asissiting with tracking of projects as well as the ability to create forms. By being an online platform, we can share the progress of work with multiple collaborators. Ease of access and fairly straighforward.
Intuitive and easy, but limited.
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive visual features, like highlighting entire rows when you mouse over the row number. Many minor things like the auto-coloring of text in formulas and the highlighting are appealing but not distracting. Very easy to get up and running and do basic things, as well as create forms and visually appealing dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Conditional formatting is clunky and time-consuming. If you want it to affect multiple columns, you have to remake the formatting formula for every individual column. In general, the design philosophy of Smartsheet seems to be making it SO easy to use that it's actually harder to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Smartsheet is solving is the ability to share data easily and collaborate on spreadsheets in real-time. Smartsheet has been the fastest and easiest way to share certain metrics or pieces of information.
THE best tool for all things productive and collaborative!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Smartsheet is Excel, BUT BETTER! I've used Smartsheet as my go-to tool for data organization, program management, project management, data review, and so much more. I use Smartsheet daily and have created many valuable sheets that save me time and energy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see Smartsheet have an easier way to link sheets and automate data management. It would be so useful to be able to link Smartsheet with external programs to upload and manage data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management and program management - I couldn't efficiently manage and communicate deadlines and actions needed without Smartsheet. I've never had such a powerful tool that saves me time with automation, efficiencies of data input, and so much more.
An Ops Manager's Greatest Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The reporting feature continues to be the number one tool I use on a daily basis from sharing dating to the accounting team, to our technical staff. Each department sees only the information they need. Smartsheet Account Managers have also been reaching out a lot more checking in on us making sure we get the most value from the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really wishing Smartsheet had a time tracker. Our technical staff uses Smartsheet to schedule our team daily. We are constantly manually adding times in. Would love if the platform can add a time feature with the following options: military time, EST, BST, PST, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all of our information in one source sheet.
After a few clicks around, fairly intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
The setup makes it easy to upload data and create dashboard views. I also like how easy tagging team members and assigning work is. This makes Smartsheets a more interactive way to work with teams, akin to Sheets from Google
What do you dislike about the product?
The shortcuts and keys can be different from what I am used to in Excel and Sheets. I also wish the grammar checks were as clear as the ones provided through grammarly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a small team, but we are stretched in several directions to complete tasks. Smartsheets help us see our priorities and organize the tasks accordingly amongst our team. The visibility it provides also helps us understand the capacity of all team members based on their assignments.
Amazing product for every organization
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet helps assign tasks within the team. It is easy to give the job and get them notified. We can set the due dates.
The template feature helps in standardising organisational stuff.

What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to request access for team members; seats are limited and require the administrator to approve the access for other team members. It would have been great if a team had been created and the request for the access could be for a group instead of typing every team member's email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our organisation, we have several teams, onsite and offsite. Also, the teams are in different countries and time zones. With the help of a smartsheet, it gets easy to keep track of tasks with very little or no communication required.
This is time (dollar) saving from the organizational point of view.

Smartsheets Dashboard and Automations
What do you like best about the product?
I love the creativity within Smartsheets to create a real-time solution platform using Smartsheet Dashboard with widgets to display and share key metrics, reports, graphical displays of data with a variety of charts, shortcuts with hyperlinks and images all in one place.
There are Smartsheet tutorial videos, webinar sessions and even online courses, which you can take to better educate and develop your skills within Smartsheet and even a Smartsheet Community in which people collaborate, share and ask questions or support others with their questions/problems.
The overall reporting and analytics tools of Smartsheet help produce insights, organize projects and track performance; when properly utilized and set up with Automation workflows, it can be a powerful platform. For project management, I would highly recommend it as this is a valuable tool that offers a variety of features to assist your teams in collaborating more effectively and managing projects efficiently.

What do you dislike about the product?
When you first transition from using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, there are some minor things that you must consider and be aware of, as there are some differences between Smartsheet and Excel capabilities. For example, you will notice Smartsheet does include most of the common functions of Excel spreadsheets where the syntax is slightly different. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt if you are already familiar with Excel Spreadsheet formulas and syntax. Another difference is the feature to use Excel’s pivot tables. Unfortunately, in Smartsheet, you will require an additional add-on called Pivot App, which comes at an additional fee and is not included with your original plan. A bit of caution on having a dashboard, when you create a dashboard and load multiple reports or charts within a single dashboard, you might experience some delays as these widgets pull massive data from your source sheet.
But overall, Smartsheet is a great collaborative work management tool with unique features.
