I worked with a few other applications like Quip, Airtable, and excel, but Smarsheets has a comprehensive capability to address several use cases. I used to automate invoice approval, project intakes, and project management, and they have reduced resourcing and effort.

Pros

It's feature-rich, especially with the automation capabilities that are baked in.

Cons

As with all software, there is a learning curve, but once you get over that, it is a solid application that can solve many types of projects and processes.

I have an excellent experience with SmartSheet. We use it for any case where a form of data processing is required. From project management to inventory control and risk assessment. Our daily management system is also based on this platform.

Pros

This software package is simple and versatile. Easy to setup, online forms for data collection are very convenient.

Cons

Free licence exists for users that need limited feature. However the software pushes hard to get a paid license even if unnecessary.

Smartsheet has been an important data collection/storage and collaborative tool for our organization. The use of Dashboards and automated forms has been extremely valuable across our multi-site organization.

Pros

The ability to connect multiple sheets using formulas and the ease of using Smartsheet in general. Our organization also loves the Dashboard and automated forms features.

Cons

I wish there were more options for how to view your data.

I was say my overall experience with Smartsheet is a 8/10. I use it about everyday to keep track of different information within my construction business.

Pros

Smartsheet is very helpful when keeping track of sales and production. It is similar to excel, but offers a lot more. I also enjoy that you can use it on a mobile device.

Cons

Although I do enjoy the mobile version, it can be difficult to navigate

Smartsheet is a use-friendly, intuitive product which is great for those who traditionally worked in a spreadsheet for task tracking, as the style mimics this. However, it is more limited in functions than other similar systems

Pros

Great for working with team members or vendors who traditionally worked in a spreadsheet to track project progress, as it uses a similar design, intuitive design

Cons

Not as many complex features as other task tracking systems, team members preferred other task tracking systems for this reason and wanted to switch

I cannot envision conducting my business without Smartsheet. It's a tool I highly endorse for any business owner. As I approach two years of self-employment with plans for expansion, Smartsheet remains an integral part of my operations.

Pros

Smartsheet offers a wide range of templates that cater to various business needs. It has improved my organizational skills, helped me meet important deadlines, and kept me accountable for tasks that need follow-up. Moreover, it allows me to work even when I'm unable to connect to the private Wi-Fi required by some systems. With Smartsheet, I can access all the information I need without relying on my EHR. It also provides the flexibility to work remotely, whether from a coffee shop or outside on my PC.

Cons

Configuring Smartsheet to leverage its full potential can be challenging, and I recognize that I'm not using it to its fullest. I would prefer more detailed explanations over numerous YouTube videos on how to utilize each template. An in-built Smartsheet guide for maximizing integrations would be helpful, avoiding the need for external instructions. While short videos may highlight features, they often fail to show effective integration. The cost of attending the conference is exorbitant. Many colleagues who considered attending were deterred by the conference fees alone, not to mention additional expenses for flights and stay. As someone who frequents conferences, I find the cost prohibitive without the incentive of college credits or certification, particularly for individuals not sponsored by corporations.

I also valued Smartsheet's robust reporting functionalities. The platform facilitated the generation of real-time reports, offering valuable insights into the advancement of projects, allocation of resources, and identification of potential bottlenecks. These reports played a crucial role in keeping stakeholders well-informed and facilitating data-driven decision-making.

Pros

Smartsheet's collaborative tools were very impressive. The feature of sharing sheets with team members, assigning responsibilities, and setting permissions ensured a synchronized understanding among all individuals and facilitated their effective contribution. By improving communication, the danger of miscommunication or duplicated efforts is minimized, which is essential for keeping the project on track.

Cons

Smartsheet's adaptability is a strong point, it can also result in discrepancies in how various team members configure and oversee their sheets. In the absence of explicit instructions, this might lead to a dearth of uniformity among projects, hence complicating the task of upholding a unified project management methodology.

Cons

Filtering for specific items in the list has to be set up by an admin. Ideally filters can be done easier without having up adjust the sheet. However, once it’s set up it works well. Filtering is done in one list (not the same as excel spreadsheet) harder to find what you want to filter

While not as robust in spreadsheet functionality as, say, Excel, it's plethora of varied components and a robust selection of tools used in every day business and database software.

Pros

Familiarity to other standard office products such as MS Office, ease of use and adaptability based on our project needs. The overall feel is familiar to most as it uses standard business software looks in many key areas but has a large variety of options to suit your specific needs.

Cons

There were some limitations in the spreadsheet look and functionality adjustments.

Great tool but remember to save your work (no auto-save)!

Reviewed on 2024/12/24

Pros

Fairly intuitive UI and UX. I was brand new to Smartsheet in September 2023 when I joined a department that heavily utilized the tool. I took some of the self-paced trainings (videos) but found that if you are just using it for the basics you can just click around and/or Google your way through the vast majority of it. Overall, I've been a use for 1+ year and like the tool.

I also like that my clients (many of whom do not have a Smartsheet license) can still utilize/access the workspaces I create.

Cons

No auto-save?! All the time I add a new row, make updates, etc. and forget to hit the little save button. And it does not save any of the work, it just disappears like I never did it! There is a little banner that pops-up after 10 mins and says something like "It's been 10 minutes since you saved your work" But often the work I'm doing doesn't take a full 10 mins.

This is so annoying and seems like a simple, standard feature. I sincerely hope it's on their road-map as Google Docs has had this capability for years.

Positive on the whole, almost entirely down to the functionality of the product. I've self-taught and used forums/Youtube to learn how to do more complex builds, and managed to create a really effective ecosystem of sheets, reports and dashboards with no training. Value seems ok, ultimately you might find your bill gets quite hot if onboarding more and more users.

Pros

Modular, customisable, fairly rapidly evolving platform. Familiar UI with many common features to Excel / MS products, so very easy to pick up and eventually master. Smartsheet is a bit lego-ish in that you can build more or less anything you want with a mid-level subscription.

The user-populated forums are a really good resource, you'll find plenty of potential and actual answers by simply searching for what you're trying to achieve/fix.

Free users able to collaborate with sheets/reports/dashboards without an account (although not without headaches - see below), which allows for effective collaboration on projects.

Cons

Customer support is hit and (mainly) miss. Getting timely answers to account questions is not a reliable process and effective account management seems to be a service Smartsheet would rather upsell than provide as a standard offering.

Some basic functionality is missing, as verified by a few searches on user forums. That said, Smartsheet do roll out updates fairly regularly which can hit the spot, depending on what you're hoping for.

Being able to share with non-account holder colleagues as 'free users' has been great, albeit the onboarding process can be clunky and confusion prevails with Smartsheet encouraging all new users to request a paid account through the main admin, or creating a free trial account, which then needs downsizing to a 'free user'. This part could be much, much more transparent.

Data security. Smartsheet is particularly shifty about where it stores data, and we never managed to get assurances that all our data could or would be stored in the EU, which is a fundamental requirement.

Powerful Collaboration Tool

Reviewed on 2024/06/03

Pros

Amazing SaaS product for work management and collaboration. It offers a user friendly interface and provides a smooth user experience to the end users. I like the most the versatility of Smartsheet and ability to use their various add-ons for different use cases. Their forms are simple yet powerful, their automated workflows are flawless, and their dashboards are very aesthetically appealing.

Cons

As any product has its pros and cons, Smartsheet also has different areas of opportunities. The biggest area of opportunity has been data limitations within the sheets; however, I know they are actively working on this enhancement and are supposed to be rolling it out shortly (I think the second half of 2024).
