Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dashboards serve as a visual command center, offering a comprehensive overview of project progress, deadlines, and key performance indicators. This visual representation enhances decision-making and facilitates a quick understanding of the project landscape."
"The ability to assign members to tasks and then have them update the status on them and even ask related questions under the task has been very helpful."
"I love how I can customize so many items on the boards to fit my exact needs."
"Subitems really help me stay organized when a project has more than one piece."
"With Monday, everything is just one click away."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the dashboards, forms, and item and task tracking."
"Monday.com is a very organized and easy-to-use tool."
"The best feature is the form for requests for new projects."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"Smartsheet is a really good tool for collaboration."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"It's very user friendly."
"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 solution is scalable."
"We like Smartsheet's workflows, automation, and low-code capabilities. I don't know of any other project management tool with low-code functionality designed for project managers."
"We would love it if the system could communicate with our accounting system, QuickBooks."
"I wish there were more calculations available across boards and pulses."
"It would be quite cool if it could connect to my Outlook calendar and put the project deadlines in there."
"The mobile app is not as user-friendly and as adaptable as I'd like it to be."
"The new Apple Mac Book Pro lineup was launched more than two years ago and still, this platform is not compatible with the Mac App."
"The docs could be improved."
"In my main table, I changed sometimes the timeline values mistakenly. That should be prevented via a smart warning or some sort of coloring."
"Currently, we run our accounting on Quickbooks Online and we are forced to use their reporting tools to bring out the data we want to see. I would much rather have Quickbooks integration that allows us to more seamlessly pull transactions into Monday in real-time and allow us to manipulate that data on the Monday interface."
"I think that the mobile interface needs to be improved. If you cannot access it through your laptop, I'd prefer to have that option on the mobile, but I don't think that it's user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"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."
"A room for improvement I found in Smartsheet is the view, as it's currently row-wise. I should have the opportunity to view a full scale, top down list instead of just a column driven list. I shouldn't have to go just left or right. I should be able to view it top down."
"Smartsheet should continue to expand the spreadsheet-type functionality because it's limited currently. Most business users are familiar with Excel and Office, so Smartsheet should adopt a similar way of navigating the program."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
"Smartsheet needs to improve the user interface."
"It would be beneficial to enhance user-friendliness and make it less complex while maintaining its overall excellence as a product."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
