Smartsheet is an effective requesting and project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that Smartsheets can handle a large amount of data that is put into the tool, while still saving quickly and allowing multiple users to be functioning in the same sheet at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Smartsheet had a user interface that was a little more friendly, where we could use more diverse colors and images when setting up our sheet. I would additionally like to see more options for the WorkApps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheets functions as a requesting tool where stakeholders can come in and submit a request for my team to execute. Additionally, we have a functional dashboard where we can keep track of the workflow for each request and properly perform the tasks assigned to multiple personnel to complete the requests.
SmartSheet is a super easy program to learn and understand!
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the fact that allows the user to get notifications and be able to follow up and comment to other co-works. It is an extremely useful tool to stay organized and on task.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing that I would add to smart sheets is the ability to have different tabs for the reports. I would like to be able to have all data that pertains to a section in one location, and also have the ability to have my client's information separated by the different tabs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay on task with my work and see what needs to be done and what is a top priority. I tend to stray from project to project without completing the previous one. This program has assisted me in getting me to where I need to go.
Has helped collaboration while working remote tremendously
What do you like best about the product?
We discovered Smartsheet pre-Covid, but it really helped us a lot to collaborate when we went remote during the pandemic. I love that it allows us to be in a sheet at the same time without any difficulties. I also love the tools and capabilities for forms and data collection, which is another way we use it a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is mostly a preference, but we still try to treat Smartsheet like excel in many ways, and it is frustrating when you cannot complete actions you are used to doing in excel in Smartsheet, especially since the tool mimics excel in many other ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data collection, collaboration, data analysis. We were using excel and google forms to collect and analyze data previously, and sharing these tools between team members created problems when many people edit and save. Smartsheet eliminated this problem for us. Since the tool is cloud-based, it also allows us access to information no matter where we are.
Very convinient for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The changes can be seen immediately by the whole team, which makes the team's collaboration much easier. And also it has the style of an excel spreadsheet, which is easy to get started without much learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Smartsheet is really good and handy tool for project management and team collaboration. Couldn't think of much I dislike but one thing that bothered me was that I couldn't hide some columns when I'm updating a wide smartsheet page. I could like to see what the first column is when I'm updating the column far to the right. Or something like "freezing" a column in Excel would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is very handy in terms of project planning. It's very smart and quite similar to MS project when I create the project plan. The features are easier to use compared with MS Project. It's based on Cloud so the changes can be published to the whole team immediately.
Smartsheet: The Solution You Need
What do you like best about the product?
The Automations are amazing! One of my favorite features is that I can program Automations to remind me of due dates, notify me of new submissions or alert me to errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet continuously builds out and releases new features. They do a great job of advertising upcoming releases, but the wait time feels long, and I often lose track of when that feature is being released among other releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a system that would allow me to maintain lists of candidates, open roles, org chart roles, hired candidates and a staff roster. Smartsheets tools and systems have allowed me to have several lists or break down a more extensive list into more minor reports and automate updates so that if something occurs on one list, the update is shared with another list.
Smartsheet Feedback and Recommendations
What do you like best about the product?
I love creating a workflow in Smartsheet from form to sheet to automation and receiving notifications and creating approvals. It also has this function where you can create a form that was linked to your sheet to get the information. I also make use of WorkApps, to create a consolidated dashboard that can be shared within the team and centralized all the information that needs to be shared within the organization. Dynamic View is nice to have as well, especially when you are trying to share a list with another team member.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Being able to get an image in a cell to another cell
2. Have a slicer function to have it more interactive
3. Additional functions on the dashboard, like more settings to create dashboards.
4. Improvement of the project sheet, especially on the baselines. I need to have a portion where I can input actual deliverables and the baseline should have the planned. Right now, the baseline is based on the dates that I have provided on the start and end dates. Then, once I delete the start and end dates. the baseline will not be functional anymore. Basically, I am having difficulty presenting the planned vs actual timeline.
5. Dynamic View, should have the option to copy the fields chosen from View Display to the Details Panel

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of projects and reporting them to the management. All my monitoring is in Smartsheet for easy access, easy collaboration and create workflow that will automate my process.
Effective tool for onboarding and project tracking.
What do you like best about the product?
Many features mirror Excel, so it is easy to translate what actions are needed for the desired outcome (e.g., formulas, conditional formatting, and sorting). The workflows and sheet filters are easy to set up and tweak when needed, even for users with limited permissions. A history log is available for almost every change, so correcting errors or seeing where they came from is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to learn for those who may not be experienced with Excel. When several editors are active on a single sheet, there is no way to notify them when overwriting each other's rows. Cell changes are not autosaved or updated live, unlike workbooks in SharePoint. Not all changes made to a sheet can be viewed on a history log, and no version history is available to revert to a previous version in case of mistakes affecting the entire sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows separate departments to collaborate on joint projects that require tracking, documents, and note-taking for archival. I can export the information to Excel for further analysis and provide clear communication to another side of the company while remaining remote.
Cleaner and quicker than Excel, but with fewer features
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborating with other users has been far easier than with other platforms. As opposed to other spreadsheets, Smartsheets makes it quick and simple to share changes and updates to co-authored documents on a web based platform.
I also value the data I can store in the background (attachments). I can use sheets to document legacy data that would otherwise need to be referenced and stored in different data storage locations (cloud, local, etc.). The ability to recall that data quickly is a huge time saver.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would really like the addition of pages to individual sheets. As the documents grow, they can start to get pretty bloated. Being able to seperate out sections of data to different pages on the same document would help maintain document grownth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in industrial automation. The meta data for different operations and systems is constantly changing and evolving. I use Smartsheets to create live, up to date documents that can quickly be editied with changes made day to day.
Great resource for integrating automation to project management.
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about smartsheets is automation. It helps me keep track of my different projects by being able to automate reminders and emails to fellow colleagues to update the sheet that needs to be addressed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more customization options for dashboards as far as different looks for the widgets. Also for using icons to gather feedback in a Smartsheet forms such as 5 star rating, I would like to be able to display an average of that on a dashboard, for example if the average is 4.2 stars we could display 4 completely filled stars and a star that is 0.2 partially filled in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently I am able to track our current work in Curriculum Development and display the combined work via a dashboard and there is minimal work involved in terms of updating the dashboard. Everything is being handled when the sheet is updated.
health policy analyst smartsheet review
What do you like best about the product?
anybody can access it any time. the ability to upload from excel is good, but could be a bit better. The ability to see who has been in and made edits is very useful. usually i use smartsheet for tracking/collab and gaining feedback on ideas. I also use the kanban type function for my daily/weekly/mothly plannint
What do you dislike about the product?
the analytics capes are a little weak. I can do everything i can in excel which is fine, but i usually will go to tableau for visualizing more complex data. sometimes i also forget to save my edits and i lose them, but thats a minor thing most of the time since most of my work is actually done in excel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i like to keep track of all my work in 1 place and let my boss and her boss have access to whats going on. its helpful also visually to see what i have on my plate represented in different ways.
