Smartsheet is right tool for managing and reporting on my projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and easy to generate reports and dashboards. As a project manager, I can give my users the necessary view without exposing them to all details.
The tool is flexible - one can put together complex projects, dependencies, etc or simple tasks

What do you dislike about the product?
1) The Dashboard should adjust based on widget size. i.e. if the report is shorted one week, there are big empty spaces.
2) Smartsheet should have a "view all" or "Edit all" (at the company level) type of functionality.
Today, one has to share with new people each time (workspaces, sheets, etc). Creating distribution lists in Smartsheet is not quick either.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- I can manage the project deliverables, timelines, ownership
- I can effectively report on project status showing the right KPIs in a relatively user-friendly view (via Dashboards). However, it could still be more user-friendly/better UI. It gets compared to other solutions (i.e. Asana, Miro) as those "look" better from a management perspective. I do not think they achieve the same but those set the bar for UI/look and feel
- It reduces the information I need to add (when using Control Center). I only use it for initial setup - do not do much for project inflight

A Powerful Tool with Some Limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I like how user-friendly and flexible Smartsheet is for task tracking and collaboration, though some advanced functions feel limited without add-ons.
What do you dislike about the product?
Smartsheet webforms are limited — they don’t support multi-line entries in a single submission, and there’s no option to expire a form link after a set number of submissions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet helps us organize tasks, track progress, and centralize communication in one place. It improves team visibility and reduces the need for back-and-forth emails.
My Smartsheet user experience
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility and versatility, collaboration and communication, most especially automation and integrations. Smartsheet helps me big time in fulfilling my daily responsibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Smartsheet takes time to load or is very slow. The App also doesn't refresh at times and I have to close and relaunch the App multiple times in the day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing repetitive tasks, monitoring projects and third-party app integrations. These are just some of the problems that Smartsheet helps us overcome. Smartsheet has helped our company manage tasks, schedules and projects effectively.
Smartsheet Project Builder
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to build and piece together multiple sheets or reports like "LEGO's" to form a complete multi-dimensional workspace that speaks to the individual users in a simple format and cohesively relays information to a corporate audience.
What do you dislike about the product?
When closing out projects, most information must be exported off the smart sheet servers and placed in Excel. The biggest issue we have is how to get the attached documents from smartsheets downloaded without having to drive down into each individual attachment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Laminates the time and work spent creating excel sheets between business units and unifies departments.
As a research project manager, I use Smartsheet nearly every day.
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is great for tracking complex project tasks, automated reminders, and dashboards to visualize project/task status, communication, and resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Communication via Smarsheet can be challenging if a lot of back and forth is required, particularly among teams whose default is email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet has helped me to cut down on email and data entry. My team enters questions, feedback, and supply requests into a Smartsheet form that updates a worksheet where I track everything. My biggest challenge is getting teams that are used to email to switch to Smartsheet for communication.
Smartsheet is the versatile tool that can help anyone!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet has so many great benefits that help me to keep the vast amount of data and projects our team has in flight in one easy-to-access and read location. Having the ability to create sheets, reports, calendars, etc to suit the needs of our team is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the downsides of Smartsheet is some of the reporting shortcomings when trying to populate data for a dashboard. I wish that there was a way to have the data from a report automatically update based on the parameters set, rather than having to manually adjust it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smartsheet is solving many of our problems, including data collection, scheduling, and project management. We are also utilizing Smartsheet as a way to correlate Resource calendars and manage multiple project schedules.
Professional and accurate online tool for PMs
What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative feature, as this is an online tool that can be shared across the different teams for each project, so all members can edit and provide what is needed
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it a little slow; sometimes the load screen time can be too much. When someone is in a rush, this can be a little annoying. This is not happening inside the same screen, but when you need to open the project or change screens (like go from one plan to another)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provide a central and professional tool for the company that allows using a shared understanding and reporting solution for the project team and the board.

Good opportunity for managing projects and deadlines for higher education offices
What do you like best about the product?
I love the automation in which I can set reminders and updates to the necessary people so we can remain on top of our projects. I also love the proof function.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to include others who are not licensed users. Also, you cannot download proofs with edits for others to review/see.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping a team on track with projects so we don't lose them in our emails. It also helps us with managing agreements and contracts. The dashboard feature is nice.
An invaluable tool for project management & job tracking
What do you like best about the product?
How simple the sheets are the understand and integrate into your workflow. All of the tools used in the process of creating and maintaining a file are simple and intuitive. I have tried other similiar GANTT chart tools and none have been so simple to maintain and present to non-project management focused employees
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that predecessors column could be more intelligent when updating/deleting other predecessors. Some changes that would seem logical to a human brain can result in breaking a number of predecessors which is very frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking & maintaining 6+ month long projects to not only keep track of task progress but also to be able to update management on key milestone and delivery dates. This program saves me HOURS in the early stages of any project.
Smartsheet is awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
Smartsheet is very helpful for creating complex schedules and data input. However, it does an even better job of turning that information into easy-to-read reports and dashboards to capture essential items on a higher level. How easy it is to use and how much data it can hold. It is also set up to be business friendly to where people can be set up not to edit it and mess up information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the extensive information sheets have trouble handling all of the information and updates throughout the company changes. Some of the dashboards are very basic on information input but this can be a good thing sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation for sheets to send out without doing it manually a person is great! Dashboards are a tad challenging to print out and send to other company members, so I usually send a link for people to click on.
