Smartsheet is the best product for shared information
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is a powerful tool for project management, resource monintoring, task tracking, information sharing, and automation. Smartsheet offers: customizable online forms to collect feedback, surveys, and requests; PDF document generation from sheet fields; every type of project managment template you can imagine; the ability to easily build WorkApps without any coding/programming skills to keep everyone working on projects in a centralized, easy to use hub for managing ongoing work; and so many tools and options to link, integrate, and automate information across sheets and up into fully customizable dashboards. Reports and sheets can be configured to show what's relevant to the specific user, enabling colleagues to get to the information they need quickly, without sifting through tons of information. Comments features on sheets allow people to tag in someone to a conversation, and attachments by row on a sheet work amazingly for screenshots, documents, or collateral to live right on the spreadsheet, rather than linking to somewhere else.
For day-to-day spreadsheet use, Smartsheet is a fantastic product for sharing and collecting information across individuals and teams. Unlike documents in shared drives, access to documents and changes made in documents happens live, dynamically. Multiple people can work in documents at the same time without getting locked out. Google Sheets is similar in this way, but Smartsheet far outstrips Google Sheets in functionality with formulas, the ability to add attachments, automation via workflows, reminders, and more.

What do you dislike about the product?
Learning Smartsheet is relatively easy, but there is definitely a learning curve, especially for building out workflows and using some of the more sophisticated add-ons, such as Data Mesh. It's worth investing in learning resources to maximize the many layers and capabilities of the product. Smartsheet is also on the pricey side. That said, I've never seen a better or more effective product in this category, so its effectiveness is worth the price. If you have a large team, definitely look into WorkApps and WorkApps license bundles, as those licenses are much less expensive and work well for most daily users that aren't creating new projects and sheets in the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Smartsheet for more functions in our department than ever. We use it every day to share information out to the team about incoming revenue and receive updates and feedback on those transactions. We have built a WorkApp to help intake, manage, delegate, and report on requests to the Data Team. We have a dashboard with forms to submit pledges and other upcoming gift information. We also use it for report disbursement, dashboards, project management and documentation, pledge reminder generation, individual task management, and centralized information sharing in numerous ways. Resource management and automation tools keep us efficient and effective. The ability to link relevant information across different areas reduces redundancy in reporting. And recent enhancements to UI/UX make it easier to use and navigate than ever.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you take the time to learn the product. It's more than just a shareable spreadsheet and using its reports and workflows will really help you level-up.
Takes the headache out of trying to remember expirations and due dates. Very handy tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the spreadsheet is similar to Excel - so it has a familiar format. However, there is more applicable functionality that you'd have to be a master with Excel to be able to achieve. You can write rules to highlight fields to create an easier overview of many projects. My favorite part is the ability to setup email reminders based on dates so I never go beyond an expiration date.
What do you dislike about the product?
While they do have videos to help guide you through using the sheets, it does take a little time to figure it out. Setting up rules for automatically timed emails took me a little bit to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a lab. So we have to deal with all kinds of products that have differing expiration dates. Smartsheets gives me the ability to set reminders to give me enough time to order new materials so I never run out because of an expiration date. We are also required to keep our staff trained with annual trainings. We have to train on 8 different components of the lab and they aren't always due at the same time. Multiply the complexity of this by multiple employees, and having a place to do the "remembering" for you has virtually eliminated all the issues of tasks "falling through the cracks."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great program to help stay on task and meet deadlines.
Easy to navigate abd replace google sheets
What do you like best about the product?
It has replaced our google docs, excel and in house forms. We use it for benefits, job cerifications, payments, it has been a true blessings. It has eliminated so much duplication in reporting. It works so well for our department, we have other departments using smart sheets too. I can not say enough great things about it
What do you dislike about the product?

Smartsheet review - user friendly

Can easily edit and add information after a workspace is created. You can create reports and visualize them within the tool. It seems user friendly and they are plenty of educational tools to learn how to use effectively. I like that you can build forms that translate into spreadsheets, can store files and schedule notifications.

I wish that it could integrate with some other platforms such as Teams and that it was easier to share spreadsheets with others across our teams without having to share a workspace.

We mainly use smartsheet to create GANTT charts for projects through our integration shop to send to customers. This has been very helpful in using and sending updates.

Smartsheet for Project Management review

The Smartsheet concept and one stop login.

Limitations on cross-sheet references and 'look ups'. No way to backup, clone, or transfer SmartSheet connectors.

Smartsheet is a great, dynamic planning tool that helps improve the team success.

I appreciate that it is dynamic in the sens that you can link all the dates together to ultimately know the date that your product may be released based on other timing that is happening in the release.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would really like to have the ability to select custom colors that match my company's branding. This would help me create a beautiful dashboard that would make more sense for my company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We traditionally were using powerpoint to track our timelines for our roll-outs of certain products, using Smartsheets has alllowed us to be more dynamic in how we plan the product releases that we have.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Smartsheets as a dynamic planner for product management
