We performed a comparison between JIRA Portfolio and Smartsheet based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is simple."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution includes good and fast notifications for other project team members."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"I think the solution's most important and valuable feature is its ability to track the issues."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"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."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"The solution has subtasks and a rollup."
"The most valuable features of Smartsheet are its collaboration tools, the ability to centralize and prioritize projects, and robust reporting capabilities."
"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."
"I think that front-end development is a little bit buggy in some cases. Some of the features take a while to respond and some need to be more clear."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"The team-centric view is slightly weaker in JIRA compared to its competitors, especially considering how I can evaluate how each resource has been placed, not just in one project but across JIRA."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"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."
"The system can become more challenging to use in more complex scenarios, requiring additional add-ons that can be quite costly."
"With a large quantity of data, the solution lags a bit."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"Smartsheet needs to improve the user interface."
"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."
