Online Applications and Faculty Recommendation Forms
What do you like best about the product?
During the pandemic, we converted all of our paper applications and recommendation forms for our STEM programs to online applications using Smartsheet. This new online process is more efficient for both students and staff. Instead of manually entering student data in a spreadsheet and filing paper applications in cabinets, the online applications are instantly generated into the Smartsheet spreadsheet and are now safely stored on OneDrive for record keeping. In turn, this has freed up cabinet space for program supplies.
What do you dislike about the product?
When creating online applications and forms, I wish there were more options to customize font styles and sizes. Also, it is difficult to collaborate with co-workers that are only partial users. I also wish there was an auto-save function, instead of having to click the save button after each edit I make, which can be a bit frustrating at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since using Smartsheet for our program online applications and forms it has made not only my work more efficient but also for both students and staff. Instead of manually entering student data in a spreadsheet and filing paper applications in cabinets, the online applications are instantly generated into a spreadsheet and are now safely stored on OneDrive for record keeping. In turn, this has freed up cabinet space for program supplies.
Great software!
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to use for trackers. Our department uses Smartsheet to manage many different trackers and it helps that it's real time and multiple people can update at once. Also the dashboard function is a great feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some limitations when creating dashboards (ie, when linking a document from another sheet, it expires after 30 days). It does take time to get used to using as it may not be the most user friendly at first especially if you use Exel a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The dashboard function helps when compiling multiple sheets/dashboards together for our vendors to use so it's all in one location. So if they have a problem or question, we tell them to go to that dashboard (one-stop shop).
If you can dream it, Smartsheets will help you create it
What do you like best about the product?
The upside of using Smartsheets is how flexible it is. It is like a blank canvas that you can use to create what you need to properly run your business. With all the add-on features, it's straightforward to make what you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the same time, all that flexibility is sometimes its downfall because it is tough to set controls. Sometimes you want things to be rigid or more structured so that it is easy to set rules. Also, it's pricy for the software, especially for a small business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smarthsheets acts as an enterprise resource system right now for our business and it solves the need for that while being flexible enough for a small business that needs to change things quickly.
If you project manage, you're going to want to use this!
What do you like best about the product?
Efficient and productive tool for task management; I appreciate the ability to assign different properties to task items and that it is a live process. This helps when collaborating with partners and internal team members. It helps keep email chains at a minimum and clarity at a maximal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is that the primary rows are a bit limited in how you can use them. It could be better to be able to enable or disable them. By disabling it, you'd have an empty sheet with no binding functions from the primary row and more freedom in organizing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet creates various ways to smoothly and conveniently stay organized. It has helped me in different projects, tasks and personal workflow management. It also helps create reports that summarize other aspects of a project. Smartsheet is an excellent software for collaborating with a big team and project. It provides the ability to oversee others' tasks and set a timeline. These are crucial to meeting timely deadlines and an organized flow if managing multiple projects.
Wonderful tool for project management purposes!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet allows you to create multiple pages for tracking and documenting information, and linking it to all pages related to each project. It is easy to share and collaborate with clients, team members, and stakeholders. The dashboard feature is highly appreciated by clients for weekly and monthly updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the formula abilities are more difficult than other tools, which makes it hard to integrate with the beneficial features of Smartsheet. It would be great to have more flexibility with organizing data with formulas in the columns and rows to better analyze data and directly link to dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is helping with tracking projects from a business perspective for high-level overview of how all projects are tracking, where concerns are raised, and which projects could lead to additional work. It also helps with collaboration and tracking project work for large groups and several activities.
Very user friendly and is exactly what we needed for document management for the team
What do you like best about the product?
The availability of the document storage, accessibility to our files within the application with all the functionality of an excel spreadsheet for budgeting.
We use this for project management and it is crucial that we keep all of the information in one place so that we only have to go to one application to get the resources we need for our whole group.
It is easy to manage even for the digitally challenged.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike, it is a well-thought-out application and provides everything that we were looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving us one resource to manage projects, collaborate with the whole team, and storage for documentation in one spot that is needed until the project is complete. The document storage withing a spreadsheet environment is what we were really looking for and found it with Smartsheets.
Aesthetically Pleasing, User Friendly, Functional, Collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Smartsheet's online platform and ease of use. It's great for an engineer to work collaboratively on technical spreadsheets, but it's also simple enough to share and present information to coworkers or clients who might not be as technologically savvy.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I were to give a suggestion to Smartsheet on what to add, I would request more elaborate functions and conditions, more similar to excel. I have sometimes found myself wishing I could set a condition to a cell or write a function that I'm used to in excel but Smartsheet doesn't have quite as much depth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet provides the most collaborative and organized way of allowing a team to simultaneously work on a spreadsheet. The autosave and the way new edits populate are much smoother than I have experienced with Excel through Onedrive, and there's no need to wait for someone else to finish up with the document before editing as would be done on a common drive.
Smartsheet is like an excel sheet with super powers!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like automated workflows and how Smartsheet sends notifications externally, to user email addresses. Also, being able to upload or attach documents to rows helps me stay organized and on track.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartheet has a ton of functionality when it comes to formulas. However, I find the formulas to be difficult to understand and generate. I would like to see more training resources made available around formula generation and how formulas can be used to increase function and efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really appreciated Smartsheet's project management template set. These templates have helped me transform project plans into trackable, actionable line items that I can easily share and assign with team members. The reports I am able to build off of my project's source sheets have helped me to track outstanding tasks and stay within my timelines.
Good if you know excel
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create a list, commands and actions are very similar to excel. Easy to download a report of your sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to create automations. Hard to search for automations when you don't know what to look for. It would be good to have suggested actions pop up for automations and options to duplicate that automation throughout the sheet. For example, I have a large project sheet that relies on dates and data pulled from another department's sheet, if I do not manually link it each time, nothing happens. For a company like ours that runs 300+ projects a year, that part is extremely tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to combine all projects on one sheet with alerts for users. Although it is limited, it is a feature google sheets didnt offer.
Long time Smartsheet user
What do you like best about the product?
I like the collaboration features. It is very easy to collaborate with team members and send custom notifications or updates. I like the project timeline feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
When Commenting on a row, I want to be able to use text features in the comment (ex: Bold, underline, alternate colors. I want to be able for formal specific words or text within a cell, without formatting the entire cell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the problem of communicating across teams. We can update a single sheet in Smartsheet and update any other linked sheets automatically just by linking the cells in the sheet. Helpful for managing project timelines.
