"The sorting of the data is the best feature of Airtable. In a Google sheet I have to insert some data and Airtable provides the default option of doing it automatically."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"The relations and multiple-choice options are the most valuable features. For example, if I have one client but multiple projects in the same client, it's much easier to map it with Airtable than if I use a Google Sheet. The relationship between interfaces is a key feature that I use very often."
"The product is very easy to use and flexible."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"I am impressed with the tool's continuous improvement. Every six months we get to see a completely different product. You can build a new product using no-code applications. We are able to scale up with the product."
"Airtable's ability to bring people from different teams and geographies together into say a master calendar, with complete control over who sees what when and in what format, is highly beneficial for communications organizations."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"It is my favorite project management tool. The reason for that is that it is very flexible. It is much easier to use than Microsoft Project in terms of creating custom fields. It is very similar to Excel. So, people understand it, which makes it a little bit easier to use for most users."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"It operates as an enhanced and versatile version of Excel, offering a wide range of capabilities that allow you to accomplish various tasks and operations."
"The most valuable features of Smartsheet are its collaboration tools, the ability to centralize and prioritize projects, and robust reporting capabilities."
"The management aspect is the most valuable. You can also prioritize tasks and then view tasks by priorities as passports."
"The most valuable feature of Smartsheet is it can be highly customized."
"The solution is scalable."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"The product should improve the Spanish translation."
"The product's AI feature needs improvement."
"The tool has changed the syncing time between the tables which has affected our multiple systems. I would like the product to add more calls per second to the API. It also needs to improve data storage. The tool starts to have problems after having huge amounts of data."
"The product is slow when I try to add data to a table using API. There is also a limit on the databases."
"The interfaces provided by the company have certainly undergone significant improvements since their earlier versions. The growth and progress have been remarkable. I have personally shared numerous feedback points and observed the prompt implementation of changes within a few months, which is highly commendable. However, I must admit that I have encountered several challenges with their interfaces."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."
"The template library is huge. I have a few suggestions with respect to that. But to complete automation, I think a bit more documentation around that would be really helpful because there are a lot of features in that which common people explore them less"
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"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."
"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."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"The downside of Smartsheet is that there are some security concerns. We were able to restrict people from sharing sheets with anyone who was not in our domain, but it could be easier. We also found it hard to restrict certain user groups from adding attachments to sheets."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"The system can become more challenging to use in more complex scenarios, requiring additional add-ons that can be quite costly."
