Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The sub-items have been incredibly helpful."
"Having all our stuff in one place, within one tool is extremely helpful."
"monday.com increased the efficiency of the teams using it, thereby decreasing costs. We needed fewer people to do the same amount of work once the tasks were organized and presented in a simple way."
"The global search is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The scalability is unlimited."
"We have been able to keep our projects and acquisitions more organized by using the automation features to move line items over new sections based on the status."
"We love how we can create boards specifically focused on one topic and have all tasks and projects pertaining to that in one place."
"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"Smartsheet offers more than Project because it's similar to a table-based, database-type system. It's like a hybrid between Excel and project software. We were able to enter the formulas and do much of the automation. We added budgets to it and linked them to a vendor page. Smartsheet let us integrate the budget into the project seamlessly. With Project, we needed to open up Excel."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"The solution is straightforward. Whenever a requirement arises, we create three things in Smartsheet: a project plan, a dashboard, and internal documents. It is done through the form and Smartsheet's automation services. This process shortens the time to market from seven days to less than 12 hours."
"The management aspect is the most valuable. You can also prioritize tasks and then view tasks by priorities as passports."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"Their support is awesome. We are on an enterprise plan and there is a customer success at Smartsheet and anyone from our licensed users can just send an email to them and they respond as soon as possible."
"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."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"The solution really needs to offer templates."
"There was one time that I had used CTRL + C to copy one of the text fields, and accidentally pasted it into all other rows/projects. I know there is an "undo" button you can click on for a few seconds, however, it would be helpful if you could undo it even after it's been a few minutes/hours."
"We need to have conversations within the platform."
"It would be helpful if I could integrate Google Docs with Monday somehow."
"I would like to see more flexibility with sub-items as well as more customization of branding for dashboards and exported documents."
"A message center that is similar to texting or Facebook Messenger would be useful."
"It would be great to have better email integration so that you could have all of your inboxes consolidated there."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"A room for improvement I found in Smartsheet is the view, as it's currently row-wise. I should have the opportunity to view a full scale, top down list instead of just a column driven list. I shouldn't have to go just left or right. I should be able to view it top down."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
"I would like if Smartsheet allowed more formulas in its sheets. I don't think working with formulas is as intuitive as it is in Excel. I use Vlookups and index matches in some of my sheets, and I had to find an outside consultant to help me build out those formulas."
"The main challenge with Smartsheet is that when you start putting components on the Smartsheet dashboard, they don't know about each other. So, if I filter something in one widget, or if I click on a region or a project ID, the other widget or component and the visualization that's on that dashboard don't change. It doesn't know about the other component."
"We have to manually put in every dependency in Smartsheet."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
