It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming quarters."
"Automation is definitely my favorite feature as it makes our lives so much easier."
"Since we've incorporated Monday.com, we've dropped fewer balls, greatly improved our ability to cover for employees while they are out, and keep our sales team and account coordination team all updated in real-time on each project."
"The ability to export to Excel has been huge for us."
"It's really helped to streamline communication between our team members as well as our clients."
"The most valuable features are the way we could easily add tasks and track the timelines of tasks through a Gantt chart. That made it easier for us to see which crucial tasks were finished."
"We also love that Monday talks with Mailchimp so we can always stay connected with people."
"With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, valuable time is saved when preparing for project meetings."
"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."
"I like that Smartsheet integrates Excel with a cloud-based project management software."
"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."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"The addition of subtasks was really great. It helps reduce a lot of the clutter on our boards. However, sometimes it is inhibitive to use them as the features available using main tasks don't apply to subtasks."
"The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."
"It would be beneficial to have the ability to toggle between the traditional Monday.com pulse view and a monthly calendar view."
"There have recently been a lot of lagging and loading delays with saving."
"It is a touch expensive, especially when just starting out."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"Some boards are just buggy."
"I'm not such a fan of the infinite scroll to the right."
"They should improve the solution's integration with API."
"It would be beneficial to enhance user-friendliness and make it less complex while maintaining its overall excellence as a product."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"Smartsheet could improve the UI and integrations. Some of Smartsheet's competitors have more than 2,000 integrations while Smartsheet only has approximately 40 integration applications."
"There are some pain points for me. Other people use it a little differently, but I would like to be able to do a little more with it. I would like database functionality with it wherein if I bring in several Excel spreadsheets of data and load them into Smartsheets, I should be able to make a correlation between an index field and run a report against those two. I can do it, but it's a little clunky. So, I need a little more experience to feel comfortable doing that."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
