A Complete Package for all your Project Management needs

Effective workflow management and project handling is a big plus and since we switched to this tool I have saved hundred of hours due to its ease to use and automations. I would highly recommend this to handle your projects and work flow.

Pros

The overall user experience is very simple yet covers all the project management aspects along with adaptive to fit the very specific requirements of different tasks and teams. Highly customizable and powerful tool to improve efficiency and simplifies the project work flow. Workflow Automation is time saving which is the most required in my daily work routine allows me to focus more on other things and I can rely on the tool.

Cons

I would not list any cons. Its just there are still some features which needs to be improved more to make it a complete package such as text formatting and the real time update feature can also be improved/tweaked to make sure the other users/team gets up to date information. There were some projects where sheets size limits was an issue but that could be managed

Trello and ClickUp

Reasons for Switching to Smartsheet

Better features and reliable with good customer support.

Smartsheet is a one-stop solution for many companies

Reviewed on 2023-11-09

Pros

Smartsheet allows me to do what I want to do in the way I want to do it. I rarely come across limitations that can't be figured out. When anyone asks me for a new request, I don't have to find crazy work arounds or engage in wild goose chases only to find I can't accomplish the ask. I can quickly and easily give them the views they want, the functionality they want to track their projects specific to their organizations or easily organize their specific chaos. The real-time dynamically updated information makes this tool incredibly powerful for all stakeholders needing to stay up to date without requiring some sort of status update meetings. I also love that their product roadmap comes from community suggestions! I have seen functionality go from a great community suggestion to implemented out of the box functionality. I love that they are improving and adapting just like the people that use their software are!

Cons

There are very few downsides to Smartsheet. The biggest thing I could tell, and I am reaching, is that other companies used for Project Management such as Monday, Asana, Wrike, Rocketlane, etc. all look really modern and sexy. They all pale in comparison to Smartsheet but they have great color schemes and they look pretty and modern which some companies like more than a truly powerful system like Smartsheet.

Pros

It's a great tool that promises to bring organization to chaos

Cons

I think this is a hard tool to use for more advanced project management tasks. They appear to have some great templates but they are hard to use and navigate.

Smartsheet has been an invaluable tool for overcoming obstacles for a long period of time. The relationship has helped us most in terms of project management and our capacity to work with people from all over the world. Our teams can now work on projects in real time without having to rely on inefficient methods like ping-ponging between different platforms or sending and receiving emails where information can easily be lost in translation. From a management standpoint, we leverage the App and dashboard features that allow us to set up a row-level security structure and regulate the flow of information cascading to different types of end users.

Pros

I enjoy how smart sheet's shortcuts and key commands make it quick and simple to fill in the project's specifics. That many people may access the same document at once and make changes while receiving real-time notifications is a great feature of this program. I appreciate the ability to notify investors of upcoming milestones with a timeframe. Conditional formatting and color-coding for people and their statuses is a nice touch.

Cons

When using a gantt chart, it might be challenging to view all of the accompanying columns at the same time. Though I haven't looked at alternatives just yet, I appreciate being able to view both the gantt chart and the finer points of the project simultaneously. Navigation in a Gannt Chart is elementary, or at least it is for me.

A fantastic application for strategizing your team's operations

Team management, team allocation, operations planning. My overall experience with this application has been quite positive. It excels in facilitating retrospectives and synchronization meetings, offering an impressive and intuitive interface that guides both me and my team seamlessly through the meeting process. The Schedule feature is a standout, providing a clear timeline view of our plans and team allocations with user-friendly editing capabilities. However, there is room for improvement in the reports section, as it could offer more detailed insights into project allocations and time investments. Despite this, the application is a valuable tool for planning and managing team operations effectively.

Pros

The Schedule feature offers a comprehensive timeline overview of the plan and your team's allocation, complete with handy filters. What sets it apart is the seamless on-the-fly editing within the same view, making it easy to manage allocations and add projects to your team members.

Cons

The reports section could benefit from enhancements to provide more in-depth and comprehensive insights into project allocations and time investments
