"The coolest thing is the way the files or documents can be uploaded to subitems."
"It has helped us to divide work by assigning tasks and forecasting how busy we will be in the future."
"It has allowed our small team of five to deliver more projects on time and with quality as well as instill trust with clients that their projects do not fall through the cracks."
"The most valuable feature of Monday.com is the ability we have to customize it to suit all of our needs."
"Items and boards are ideal as they help in keeping everything in a single location without any confusion."
"Being able to duplicate boards from sitting to sitting and also being able to upload .csv files for tasks is great."
"Since Monday is so flexible, it allows us to maintain projects in our own way."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"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."
"The solution is straightforward. Whenever a requirement arises, we create three things in Smartsheet: a project plan, a dashboard, and internal documents. It is done through the form and Smartsheet's automation services. This process shortens the time to market from seven days to less than 12 hours."
"Often we receive technical difficulties on the platform and the entire website will be down."
"It is difficult to create templates for repeat use cases."
"We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."
"We would like to see better Microsoft Outlook integration."
"A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of... If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference."
"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"I'm unable to send messages or update any projects from my tablet or cell phone which makes it hard when you are in the field all day and can't be at your desk."
"Sometimes the limit of parts on a board (500 units) can inhibit growth."
"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."
"We have to manually put in every dependency in Smartsheet."
"Areas for improvement in Smartsheet include better integration capabilities with other technologies through APIs and addressing limitations in reporting functionalities."
"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."
"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."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
