You can share real-time data and access it from anywhere. There should be an option to minimize data on the homepage.

What is most valuable?

The fact that you can share real-time data and access it from anywhere is the most valuable function. It also gives a very good overview of the current workload and where in the process you are in certain projects.

How has it helped my organization?

SmartSheets has helped our organization establish an itemized tracking tool to monitor all ongoing cases and deliveries, sharing the deadlines and ETAs with all relevant focal points in one place and in real time.

What needs improvement?

There should be an option to minimize the amount of data on the homepage in order to ease access and downloads in areas with slow internet connection.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have encountered no major issues with stability. Only some small lags and slow updates but nothing more.

Scalable, user-friendly, and integrates well with Microsoft, but the dashboard needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "It's very user friendly."
  • "The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

It works similar to Microsoft Project. The data integration with Microsoft Project and Smartsheet can be imported, and we can export it. 

It's good for the hybrid model, especially for the Agile model.

What is most valuable?

It's very user friendly.

What needs improvement?

The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement. There are many backgrounds that have to be in place to make it user-friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Smartsheet for two years.

We are using the latest version.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's scalable. We have 20 users in our organization.

Our use of this solution is dependant on our customers, whether or not they want to use it.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy and straightforward.

It takes anywhere from two to three hours to deploy.

What about the implementation team?

We had the cloud servers helping with the deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have 20 user licenses and we have used it.

This licensing is straightforward and they charge per user. It's a cloud basis per user.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution, but Jira and Conference are better for Agile methodology.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
