"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"As I am in the corporate legal department, I have to deal with a number of contracts and sometimes it's hard to keep up with email transactions. Having the tracker sheet and being able to build dashboards and workflow has been quite valuable."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"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."
"Enables coordination and sharing of information that is relatively inexpensive."
"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."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"We'd really like to have the ability to have different types of boards within a board."

"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."

"Sometimes automation is delayed, which can lead to duplicate items being created."
"It would be beneficial to enhance user-friendliness and make it less complex while maintaining its overall excellence as a product."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
