"The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Automation is by far the most valuable tool ever."
"What I found most valuable in Smartsheet is its project customization feature. It's a great solution because you can add in your own WBS. You can see it in Jira style, Kanban, and you can even do Agile and Waterfall. Another feature that's valuable in the solution is when you have those connections, you have that API, you have a sandbox, and you can make a solution, it's a tremendous product because you can pull data."
"It's very user friendly."
"The fact that you can have different access groups is definitely a pro for Smartsheet. It also has the ability to integrate with a lot of tools."
"The dashboard feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Smartsheet is a really good tool for collaboration."
"As I am in the corporate legal department, I have to deal with a number of contracts and sometimes it's hard to keep up with email transactions. Having the tracker sheet and being able to build dashboards and workflow has been quite valuable."
"The solution has subtasks and a rollup."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."
"While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us."
"I wish there were more calculations available across boards and pulses."
"The key limitation I face is that I don't find the tool to be fully intuitive as more time is required for me to learn how to use it optimally."
"The web page can be a bit buggy at times, especially after I switch to a different tab and then come back to the Monday site after leaving it idle for a few minutes."
"Sometimes the limit of parts on a board (500 units) can inhibit growth."
"The exporting function could be improved to offer more raw data instead of being formatted like the online view."
"We'd like to see cross-board automation."
"I think it is all going to be about APIs in the future and I don't think Smartsheet is doing a lot in that regard. They have some integrations with Jira, but you have to pay for them."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
"I think that the mobile interface needs to be improved. If you cannot access it through your laptop, I'd prefer to have that option on the mobile, but I don't think that it's user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"They should improve the solution's integration with API."
"Smartsheet should continue to expand the spreadsheet-type functionality because it's limited currently. Most business users are familiar with Excel and Office, so Smartsheet should adopt a similar way of navigating the program."
"You were forced to create a new tab rather than add another sheet."
"If there was some way to store more complex files in the system, or if there was a back-end structure where you could store files, that would be ideal."
