Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Broadcom, ServiceNow and others in Project Portfolio Management."The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature of Smartsheet is its intuitiveness, ease of use, and overall simplicity."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"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."
"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."
"Enables coordination and sharing of information that is relatively inexpensive."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"The product must include more modules for project management."
"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."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"Lacks the ability to edit attachments within the solution."
"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."
"Areas for improvement in Smartsheet include better integration capabilities with other technologies through APIs and addressing limitations in reporting functionalities."
