Well organized and useful
What do you like best about the product?
The triggers that I can set in place for different tasks. It is excellent to set customized reminders that can notify multiple people at once or as needed. It is a great tool. I like how simple it is to export and import data. It really has grown and become compatible with other softwares and programs making it a better tool
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if the automation selection had a custom option to enter the trigger rather than selecting from the ones provided only. While they work great in rare cases, it would be helpful to create your own along with the date ranges offered. As you learn the software, there are ways to work with it to get the desired results.
I will say it has come along way, it has become adaptable and relevant with current trends and business needs including the AI features and crossfuntioning; very versitile!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been beneficial to stay on top of expiring documents by setting reminders the day of creating; it is easy to fill in the expiration date to get reminders and work on specific details in advance to avoid any gaps or delays. Using the filter to generate reports for particular items is excellent. It is a multifunctional software and it is being implemented across all departments to track, create dashboards, live reports, etc; you name it.

So much better than Google Sheets
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create timelines and shift them as needed. Provides a very visual way to see the project plans.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to link spreadsheets and have them automatically update each other. There is no way to sync it with Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping projects on track and all parties updated on the next steps.
Great project management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it is totally customizable and easy to use. It is very similar to Microsoft Office, so the learning curve is much quicker. You can quickly create a GANT chart which is great for managing deadlines. I also like the save feature and the option to export the data to Excel or PDF. You also have the option to import from Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not dislike that much. The only thing difficult is the syntax for creating formulas; sometimes it is easier to do within Excel. More training on the formulas might help bridge the gap
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have centralized all our projects in one place, which has made it much easier to manage across the organization. Projects are completed in a timely manner. We are able to track various metrics across different divisions of the organization.
A great place to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Creating a Smartsheet for construction schedules is a great way for the whole team (even those not in the field) to see the progress of the house. It's helpful for the purchasing department.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are too many "clicks" to get to the sheet that you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Smartsheet for construction schedules, open issues, and general excel that need to be shared between several people.

Many, many solved with the help of the experts and the experts seem genuinely interested and excited about solving problems. Very quick solutions when entering questions through the community - this is extremely important.
We have contractors that do not have permissions to access our internal company systems and Smartsheet gives us a way to collaborate with the contractors with a tool where we can set permissions accordingly.

Does a great job mostly but lags in saving massive amounts of data and support is lacking
What do you like best about the product?
SS is extremely versatile and can do just about anything. My company actually utilizes it for solutions it isn't even meant for, which is a huge plus. It's flexible in that everything is done through a spreadsheet-like interface, so it's very easy to create reporting, pull info, etc. It's also very intuitive for the most part, with familiar iconography for things like uploading files, and lots of features for various views. My favorite is the calendar view, which does cost more, but it's very affordable. On the whole, SS is quite cheap for what it does. It also integrates with APIs (easy implementation), which is huge, meaning we can use this every day for various needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
For our business, I wish smartsheet had a better interface for CRM. We use it for this, but it clearly isn't meant for it. I wish it also had text suggest in the sheets. You can only have that if you set it up a certain way, so some sheets take more time to work in than others. As we grow, I think we'll outgrow Smartsheet, so I do wish it had more growth to it for bigger companies. We've been using them now for about 5 years and we have to migrate sheets yearly due to overloading the system with too much data. It's not a huge issue but it does mean work takes longer. Also, customer support is pretty awful to try and get a hold of for anything meaningful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We track advertisement placements on our site through smartsheet, which it isn't actually meant to do but does great for our business. We also use it as a small CRM, to keep track of selling pipelines, and for various reports. It helps us get both a bird's eye view and very granular data on every brand we work with, our selling processes, and any roadblocks.
Incorporating spreadsheets with Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
Besides all the built-in features, which include robust project tracking capabilities that make day-to-day life as a PMO a lot easier, the possibility to integrate Smartsheet with other tools like Jira has significantly enhanced our efficiency and productivity!
What do you dislike about the product?
I still couldn't identify anything that I would consider bad about Smartsheets, except that it was not very intuitive at first, and it had a bit of a learning curve, especially when it comes to using it in a more advanced way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Smartsheet to track who in the team is assigned to which projects, and what is their current progress in each of these projects, allowing us to ensure our deliveries are always on track and within our SLAs. With the Jira integration, we also make it possible for each project assignee to log the time they spent on each project by themselves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Smartsheet is a software to keep track of your projects, which will have available all the standard project management tools, but it also provides extra features that increase your productivity and your control over your projects.
A good mid-level project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
The Smartsheet team is frequently adding new features to the tool. A recent exciting example is card view which allows the tool to adapt to kanban-forward organizations and teams' needs. The support team is very responsive and proactive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet won't offer as robust of features that you might be used to in more enterprise tools. We could also benefit from more enhanced linkages/integrations to ticket softwares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Smartsheet to create executive dashboards for progress on large, enterprise-wide initiatives. The tool allows us to monitor and control progress and display it in a very straightforward way to leadership and customers.
User-friendly product with helpful project management tools!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use has been a great feature for Smartsheets. I love how easily one can transitionsfrom grid view, to calendar view to viewing it in a Kanban card style manner. In the 4 years I have been using the platform, I've found that I've only scratched the surface on the capabilities. In the last year and a half, I've noticed that Smartsheets have expanded their portfolio of services and pre-built dashboards and sheets. Their customer service is strong.
What do you dislike about the product?
The formula development in Smartsheet can be a bit challenging. There are a ton of forums that can help one navigate this. However, more intuitive use of formulas would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Smartsheets to help project manage significant projects in a startup. The projects can be both large and small in scope. We have also begun using their resource management feature which is informative. Additionally, I use it as a tool that can share documents and spreadsheets to various people. Being able to be in the document at teh same time is incredibly useful. I like being able to link cells to other sheets and documents to see a bigger picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the helpdesk and forums to help support any questions you may have on using the product.
Smartsheet Allows for Seamless Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the form. I makes it so easy to send information to people. I also like how you get real time information when people register or change something int the sheet. I like that I'm able to easily put a sheet together and collaborate with other departments in our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it is a little difficult to find a sheet that has been moved to a workspace. I wish this would be more user-friendly.
I also dislike that sometimes the names of registrants will go to the bottom of the list leaving a big gap between registrants.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving event registration problems. A huge benefit is that I am able to keep track of registrants without having to use an Event registration website.
