Smartsheet's intuitive online project management app is used broadly across organizations to track and manage diverse types of work for teams large and small, from enterprise companies to SMB's.
Good evolution of the tool with better and better user interface and features. Good interface with Google permits to us to use our Electronic Document Management System, SSO.
Poor documentation to become Orchestra expert and support daily usage. Heavy weakness on standard reporting.
We really appreciate the activity Stream; it constitutes a really help in follow up. Since we have learned how to create and use the Dashboard module, we like it.
The poor performance with Internet Explorer/Edge.
The ability to customize stages and gates is great as it allows for different types of projects in one organization or for different organizations to all have completely different set ups.
No possiblity to do "batch" actions in lists. Timesheet workflow validation too restrictive.
Ease of implementation and great freedom of customization.
Limited integrations with other commonly used software.
The visualization is very great. It is algo good for problem solving tracking tool, communication, project management, people recognition, continuous improvement ideas tracking tool, etc.
I miss the overall definition of "project" which makes it more difficult to group sheets that belong to the same project and to get an overall view on all our running projects.
Excellent - best software - been looking for suitable solutions for years and now can use smartsheet for just about everything.
I can't say there is anything I dislike about Smartsheet. It is limited only based on how it can't support overly specific documents that align with overly specific projects.
I love the ability to see progress in real time through dashboards and diagrams, which allows me to have a clearer vision of all aspects of the project.
Gets frustrating going back and hiding 20 columns again afterwards.
Overall I had positive experience with Smartsheet. The software is praised for its flexibility and real-time collaboration features, which help teams work together more efficiently.
It's also sometimes difficult to tell where user error plays a role in mathematic mistakes. I'd like to see more effort put into these areas.
Kendrick N.: Hi. My name is Kendrick, owner of Kennys Kitchen LLC. I give Smartsheet five out of five. The product I used was Microsoft Excel. I actually created my own sheets, so I was really doing everything myself. And one day I said, "You know what? Someone should be able to help you." I went searching, found Smartsheet; best decision I ever made. Inventory, scheduling, day-to-day operations, checklists, everything I need in one, which is what most businesses like. Getting started with Smartsheet was too easy. All I really had to do was enter my email address and sign up. I did start with the free trial, and the free trial went on for 30 days, but during that free trial, I just couldn't let it go and I've been using it ever since. Recommendations for anyone else using Smartsheet; stick with it for a while. Browse, explore, and look. You'll find what you need for your business, and that's no lie.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
