Kendrick N
CEO
5.0

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.

Aryana R
Strategist
4.0

Aryana R.: Hi, I'm Aryana, the founder of a coaching and training company, and I give Nifty a four out of five. I was working in Basecamp, and I found it hard to navigate. When I was looking for something, I'd spend a lot of time trying to find that post or that document, and it was frustrating. I decided to go with Nifty. One, the pricing. It was better than anything else that I'd looked at. I also liked it was more intuitive, and it was like I was looking at a desktop, not just this blank screen. I was able to put my calendar in there, my team members, alert people easily. It had kind of this feeling of a dashboard that was modifiable. My team and I are still working on onboarding. I found that this is what I do as a business owner is I get my team to do, "How does this all work?" Then they teach me how to do it. I would say we really ran at it very quickly and we got some projects in there. I was really impressed as we were doing it. Then things got busy, so we started to go back to Google Docs. Interestingly, just yesterday, I was like, "I'm done Google docs. I'm done emails back and forth. I need to get us using Nifty again." I started to put some projects in, some task lists. There's something really satisfying about that, when you can be like, "Tick it off. I did it." If you're considering Nifty, I suggest doing their free trial, if they still have it, and really give it a robust, try. Get your team members working in it and put an entire project in. It's going to help you because you can still use the content if you decide not to continue with their trial, but that's one thing that I wished I'd done when I was researching is just give it a good solid test because then once you do commit to it, you're going to stick with it and you're going to use it fully.
