Success with SmartSheet
What do you like best about the product?
Overall, I have enjoyed the use of Smartsheet compared to other Project Management tools. Managing a project timeline and tracking resource time is straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, the complexity of setting up projects and automated notifications is difficult to understand and accomplish. Additionally, when setting project timeline templates changes and updates to the template cannot be published retroactively. At the beginning of using SmartSheet, its a learning process which often results in changes being made to timeline templates which are already in use. Updating those active projects is time consuming.

SMARTSHEET REVIEW CLAIRE SIMS
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of templates. This saves time in having to creating these. I can just go right in and start filling in my content.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. Sometimes I get tripped up on the "indent" feature but I think that's my learning curve.

A MUCH better alternative to excel. Smartsheet is much more user friendly
SmartSheet drives project performance

SmartSheet offers the flexibility to create custom sheets and workflows, making it super easy to automate processes and improve project data capture. Plus, you can share Smartsheet with anyone, letting them interact and add value to our project portfolio.
What do you dislike about the product?
We could definitely use some improvements in the planning area. Right now, the Gantt charts are pretty basic and missing some advanced features. It would be awesome to have things like hammock tasks, automatic resource leveling, and the ability to assign multiple resources with different allocations to a single task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With SmartSheet, we're now able to connect all our project data seamlessly. This allows us to manage our portfolio of changes with up-to-date information, without the need for any manual adjustments.

Limited Formatting Options
Compared to Excel or Google Sheets, Smartsheet has limited formatting and data visualization capabilities. Charts and graphs are basic, and customization is somewhat restricted.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Project Management
Smartsheet helps us manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders, timelines, and deliverables. Before using Smartsheet, we struggled with version control and scattered communication across emails and spreadsheets. Now, we benefit from:
Centralized project tracking with Gantt charts and task dependencies.
Real-time collaboration that keeps everyone aligned and accountable.
Automated reminders and alerts that reduce manual follow-ups and missed deadlines.
Dashboards and reporting that provide leadership with instant visibility into project status.
This has significantly improved our ability to deliver projects on time and within scope.
2. Vendor Issue Management
Managing vendor relationships and resolving issues used to be reactive and disorganized. Smartsheet has helped us streamline this process by:
Creating standardized intake forms for vendor issues, ensuring consistent data collection.
Tracking issue resolution through automated workflows and status updates.
Assigning accountability with clear ownership and due dates.
Maintaining a historical log of vendor performance and recurring problems.
As a result, we’ve reduced resolution times, improved vendor accountability, and gained insights into recurring issues that inform better decision-making.

Huge improvement over Excel for all of our management needs.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Smartsheet for all of my finance, budgeting, utilization and employee tracking needs. It has replaced excel for all of these tasks and does a phenomenal job at it. I have rolled it out to my management team and they have gotten tremendous value from using it. They have much better insight on every aspect of their teams' management. It has been instrumental in visibility at all levels of the organization. It is used every day for a variety of tasks. Dashboards are very easy to setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only complaint I can think of is when you get limited to the number of links that can be used in a sheet. This is a rare occurrence and can be dealt with using a simple workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Financial and budget projections. Employee utilization and allocation. KPI management. Executive reporting. Margin calculations. All of these functions were previously handled in excel and were a nightmare to manage across sheets. Moving all of these items to Smartsheet streamlined the management of all of these functions and we no longer have to worry about excel breaking every time something changed.

Like the ease of using Smartsheet, able to add additional editors and contributors, and able to set updates when a due date is approaching
What do you dislike about the product?
DO NOT like the updated feature on moving sheets into albums. I had multiple albums set up and I could move new sheets into those albums, but you have changed that feature and no longer allow that. It makes for a very messy and cluttered main page. I wish you would bring that feature back.

Able to keep track of all employees shared sheets in one location, but don't like that you can no longer move them into a folder
