Great for Collaboration and Automation, But Forms Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is helpful for sharing sheets among employees. The built-in automation feature allows for a more flexible approach to processing data, going beyond just using formulas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet forms are missing some important features. For example, there is no way to validate dates to prevent users from entering past dates. Additionally, the logic feature is not very flexible, as it only allows you to hide or show fields based on the most recent input.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To disseminate forms for logging data
To track progress of our tasks
To send out forms/survey for clients

Familiar Spreadsheet Feel with Powerful Project Management, But Can Get Complex as Projects Grow
What do you like best about the product?
It feels like a spreadsheet, so it’s easy for new users to adopt. But under the hood, it’s actually a full project and work management tool — capable of tracking tasks, budgets, dependencies, and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
As projects grow, sheets with too many automations, links, or cross-sheet formulas can become hard to manage or troubleshoot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone involved can see real-time progress, which reduces miscommunication and duplicate efforts.
Secure and User-Friendly Document Management
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Smartsheet for three years and it has become a great standard tool within my company. I really appreciate its ease of use; despite the initial complexity when setting up, it only took me two hours to get comfortable with it. Smartsheet's versatility in creating different types of sheets and combining them is incredibly useful for organizing templates, lists, and reviewing the status of processes in my organization. I particularly value how secure Smartsheet is when sharing documents or sheets with others, which gives me peace of mind when collaborating. Overall, I like Smartsheet so much that I wouldn't change anything about it and would rate my likelihood to recommend it as a nine out of ten.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet was initially a bit complicated to set up, typical of most new tools. However, it became manageable after two hours of learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Smartsheet to create templates, organize lists, and track process statuses, enhancing organization and efficiency within my company. It combines sheets effectively and ensures easy, secure document sharing.
Great for Project Tracking, But Filters Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Smart sheets are good and really help track the project and ownership.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe it really depends on how you use it. When you have two different logs in a single file, the sheets can become too long and difficult to manage. Also, applying filters is not as straightforward as it is in Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its helpful to have clearer tracking of who approved each item, along with a more robust trace system.
Project manager
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ability to customize using formulas, much like you can in Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it disappointing that the standard version does not offer options for selecting the 'earliest date' or 'latest date.' Additionally, it's frustrating that there is no way to connect Smartsheet with the Outlook calendar in real time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We experienced challenges when it came to planning and prioritizing work across different projects.
Intuitive browser application with an Excel feel
What do you like best about the product?
The application is fully usable in the browser and thus accessible from anywhere. Multiple people can work on it simultaneously. The operation is simple and understandable, and the program's functionality is reminiscent of Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some display filters can only be set with an appropriate license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this solution, I can centrally manage tasks, assign them specifically to employees, receive reminders, and effectively track progress. This facilitates organization and ensures that nothing is overlooked.
I'm lab technician and I used Smartsheet principally to plan activities.

Smartsheet is not reliable - Extremely Expensive - Large hidden extra charges
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up. Help with work integration
What do you dislike about the product?
They are unreliable. There is not support when the software fails and above all the billing system is an scam. You pay a full year subscription, then they will start sending large invoices for extra charges. They will never answer queries and contact 24/7 is never available. They will change the agreements of the service with no notice. It is very dangerous for a company to use this platform. They will ask you to pay extra for features that you had already included in the initial subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used to help with integration. However this feature is now charged even with a full year paid subscription.
Easy Project Management and Collaboration, But Beware of Occasional Glitches
What do you like best about the product?
It is an easy tool for all Project Management needs and I personally find it easier to navigate than Microsoft Excel. The 'Share' function makes it very simple to share sheets with peers for live collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when multiple people are working within the sheet and saving, work can glitch ad move about the sheet without realising causing errors. It's very rare but has happened to a few of us in the team. Also I am not keen on how easy it is to move lines in a sheet under a hierarchy tab, then without realising it can lose all of the lines underneath.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to collaborate on governance documents and project plans.
