Smartsheet Software

Pros

- We only need to purchase monthly subscriptions for a few key office users. The team members that only view/edit existing spreadsheets (e.g. site reviewers/junior staff) can use free accounts.
- Fully featured cloud based spreadsheets that can be accessed from any device.

Cons

- Some of the formulas tend to break when linking between online spreadsheets. We can fix the issue when it occurs, I just don't know why it does.

Fine smarsheets, communication became easier with this, makes us more effective on work.

Pros

Excellent Smartsheet! This is more than I expect its feature to deliver. A huge help for all of us to make our reports and everything all in one program, that we all can access, update and track. Communication and documentation is more easier, making us work effectively. This is a brilliant application.

Cons

Smartsheets works really fine, I cannot figured out any negative from it upon using it for years now. It helps us so what more can we ask for.

Pros

allow full control of your project with is wide range of features which covers almost everything you think of.

Cons

nothing much to say, Almost no cons to record, could help a slight adjustment to pricing plans by providing more options

Pros

Smartsheet employs a familiar spreadsheet format with powerful additional options for organizing information and keeping records. My institution uses it to house important data and notes regarding our entire portfolio of online courses, and can use auto-notification features to trigger contract payments and mandatory revisions to our courses.

Cons

This would be a minor complaint given the features mentioned above, but the interface is somewhat clunky. However, the product serves its purpose well.

Pros

As, the name suggests it is Smartsheet. You will able to access data points and documents through this product. Also, importing and exporting from excel to excel is much easier. It is not like any other sheet product it offers more than just data entry. You can do project management and collaborate with team members and complete a task more efficiently.

Cons

Pricing wise it is a little expensive side. As we are team of 20 people, it is really hard for us to pay but we used it for couple of months and got a much cheaper rate as it was getting heavy on the budget.

A wonderful tool that easily replaces Microsoft Project for 90% of companies. Affordable and very collaborative.

Pros

The web based interface looks like excel, and response much better than even Google Docs. The main focus is project management - allowing you to create tasks, timelines, milestones and completion notifications. These are all shareable - invite a user to the sheet and they can enter or edit data - which might just be clicking the COMPLETE box, or it could be entering a large portion of data. Even with multiple users in the sheet at once, the system keeps sync with ease. It is the main tool we use for cross department and external partnerships. It has the main functionality that you want out of Microsoft Project, but is cloud based and anyone familiar with excel will be able to use it.

Cons

The sheets have similar functions to excel, but the means of editing those formulas are not good. Thus will not replaced excel, but it does replace Project for a fraction of the cost and a drop of the training required to use it. The alerts can be annoying at time, sending you multiple alerts if you don't set them up just right. The limitation on the number of rows will eventually force you to create duplicate archive sheets if you use them as a tracking/complaint type log.

GREAT PRODUCT!

Pros

This product has no limit such a great improvement on our team on discovering this product exist! such a GREAT product!

Cons

This product has no negative sides so I can't even say a thing that discourage me on using it.

Wonderful CREATION!

Pros

Cons

Until now we are using this product and this product has no cons for me and I'm waiting for more improvements on it.

Awesome product!

Pros

This product has a lot of features that you can't ever imagine and you can access it anywhere and anytime you want and I love this product so much!

Cons

This product is so great that I don't have any regret using it. Such a great product!

Pros

Works very similarly as excel does. The neat thing about this program is that you can assign cells as tasks to individuals.

Cons

It's not as easy as one would think. Their promotional videos really sell you on the product but ultimately might not quite be as user friendly as one would think.

Pros

The best in smartsheet application is that you can save you time and easily track and manage your project progress share your documents easily.

Cons

To be honestly i really like this software every thing is very easily and very simple so i think i will recommend it for your business.

In general, Smartsheet works great for me. However, I am not a full-time project manager but I am a CTO. But I do need project management functionalities and for that SS works out great for me. Also, it's less expensive and it's lightweight. So, overall, a very good tool that is to be considered by small companies where budget might be a constraint.

Pros

All the useful features that you an find in MS-Project are present in Smartsheet. It's very lightweight. And more importantly, it's much cheaper

Cons

The calendar - as I found out, it only supports US date format but not other date format. So, while working with global team, that sometimes come out to be a challenge. Also, if multiple people are viewing a sheet at the same time, the changes are not real time. The changes don't get saved until you click "save".

over all it good having this kind of software that helps my team to track and updates easily their works

Pros

It easy to use, can learn in short amount of time, having different tools that can help on management, innovation and business analyst

Cons

luck of data type for time and image. It cannot give the actual image if you use vlookup that can help on inventory management

Its on cloud and free with google apps. If you are ready to let go of some add on features of ms projects, its a very good cloud based project management app

Pros

Its on Cloud and multiple stakeholders can collaborate simultaneously and update on the timelines/ achievements

Cons

Its not as user friendly as microsoft projects. Many functionalities available in ms projects not easily done here

While many businesses continue to move in the direction of a clean and more streamlined user interface, Smartsheet continues to expand the capabilities of its products through its grid interface of a spreadsheet-like appearance. Despite popular belief, this format is still very effective and highly used in places where metrics are essential and number crunching is calling all the shots. With enhanced filters and views, one will be surprised at how powerful Smartsheet really is. I would personally recommend trying this, even for a trial, and get the feel for what Smartsheet can actually do.

Pros

Smartsheet brings the familiarity of using a spreadsheet and transform the way you manage your projects through their grids. Smartsheet is a complete suite of tools that allows your business, big or small, to manage and deliver on your products efficiently. Its list of features is quite extensive:

Dashboards provide full visibility of the project and its status. With key metrics represented for the entire project, you can visually see the progress your teams are making with each project. This allows for quick response and adjustments where needed without having to dive too deep into the details. You can display your projects in one of various ways, each with their own unique set of advantages: from a Gantt chart view, to a cards (Kanban) view, to a calendar view. Provide portals for team collaboration and generate forms to capture the information you seek. Add to that attachment capabilities, notifications, alerts and reminders, plus reporting and so much more... and you have a well rounded complete suite of applications that helps you manage your projects and your business more effectively.

Cons

Smartsheet has no inherent cons. And the only thing I may consider as such would be that of bringing a spreadsheet-like format of its grid into use when trends are deviating from this format slowly. Other than that, Smartsheet does offer what its name implies... "smart" use of its various components to effectively manage a business.

Try this software if you have estimators!

Pros

This isn't like planswift where you need to have all your files accessible on your drive. You can access from the browser.

Cons

I do think it lacks a lot of what planswift has such as the details when conducting take offs, but it is a nice software.

I honestly use smart sheets in my HR work all the time! Helps me create great documents to send out to my organizations

Pros

Great examples of how to use the tool, templates, guides on how to make the most out of what you're trying to create

Cons

More templates would be nice, like in Gsoft projects - should be able to see a wide variety of different projects.

Pros

It is a glorified excel and can have many functions! I started using the software for bids and project management but now with everything it can do I use it for other things.

Cons

Limited to 100 sheets or pay extra. 100 sounds like a lot but once you get going, you will see how fast you can use 100 sheets.

Pros

- As the office admin, I can create to-do lists in Smartsheet and share them with relevant team members.
- Can use a paid license for myself to create/edit smartsheets, and invite team members to setup free accounts if they don't need to create sheets.
- Can limit access to relevant team members only.

Cons

- Takes some time to get used to the web-based menus and user interface.
- Limited exporting options.

Pros

- Options for formatting text/cells
- Has all of the needed formulas for a spreadsheet program
- Can share with other users via email invite, who can then view/edit files

Cons

- Limited range of cells (likely to keep loading times down), have hit the cap several times.
- Nesting cells is a little cumbersome.
