Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Microsoft, Asana and others in Project Management Software."Jira has a good reporting system. It also has an API, so we can do all sorts of reporting."
"One of the valuable features is traceability from requirements to test cases."
"The solution has been very stable overall."
"It is a stable solution, and we have had no issues with stability."
"Its visual display and ease of use are most valuable."
"I like that Jira allows you to customize the flow for an agile process and adapt it to your own flow."
"The product is good, stable and very cost-effective for small teams."
"The configurable workflows and boards make it easy for us to execute and oversee our own unique process."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
"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 and the layouts are quite good."
"Enables coordination and sharing of information that is relatively inexpensive."
"The tool creates shareable dashboards. These dashboards allow us to display project deliverables' status, their position in the queue, expected delivery timelines, and more. The best part is that these dashboards can be shared with our clients without a license."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"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."
"Smartsheet is a really good tool for collaboration."
"The management aspect is the most valuable. You can also prioritize tasks and then view tasks by priorities as passports."
"The integration of Jira could improve. The solution should be able to integrate easily with other solutions, such as ERPs. There are times the solution can be slow and we have to reset it over and over again."
"The permissions can be challenging to get right."
"For our company, we're thinking about not only project management solutions but also collaboration solutions, and maybe if Jira had a chart or quick commenting option, it would be great."
"If Jira would be interested in offering a SharePoint version, it would be beneficial."
"Its UI can be improved a little bit. I know this a business tool and not a commercial tool, but it could be a little bit more interactive like the HP ALM/Quality Center, which provides you the results of graphs and gives you a lot of visual representations. I feel Jira lacks a little bit in this aspect."
"The tool should improve its pricing."
"If I'm comparing it to ALM Octane, the documentation is not as robust as ALM Octane's documentation. So, they can improve on the documentation side."
"Sometimes it takes time to load the data."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
"The product must include more modules for project management."
"Smartsheet's export and print functions could be more seamless. Once I create the plan in Smartsheet, I need to import it into my corporate web presentations. This isn't always smooth. I have to save it in PDF format, then cut an image from the PDF version."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"Maybe the solution could be a little bit more flexible."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
"We have to manually put in every dependency in Smartsheet."
"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."
"It already has a really powerful Export to Excel feature, but it can have an Excel add-on. The way to set up single sign-on wasn't too easy in the beginning, and it was hard to get hold of customer service. They should make it easier to set up SSO. Smartsheet's customer service also definitely needs to be improved."
