Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Smartsheet is a spreadsheet-based project management platform with strong collaboration features. Before shortlisting, verify that your team can adopt its interface—the learning curve is real, particularly for advanced features like automation rules and resource leveling. Test these specific workflows in a demo: creating a Gantt chart from scratch, setting up a ...Read more

Smartsheet Review for Project Management

What do you like best? I like that it can be easily accessed by users in my department and edited by team members. I find when organizing clients and projects having multiple sheets and customization columns makes for an easier more productive workflow. What do you dislike? I dislike that it does not automatically save the way GoogleDrive does. I also wish that the keys, such as enter, worked better than having to press ctrl+enter. What business problems are you solving with the ...

Microsoft Project Lite

What do you like best? The sharing of projects with external clients is easy. You can create a published version so that users don't need to consume a license or create an account. What do you dislike? Adding users to the workspace is not easy. With every project, if the project lives in its own workspace, then you need to readd the users each time. There is no obvious ways to clone participants. Also the resource tracking feature is not as good as MS Project. Recommendations to ...

Great Platform

What do you like best? Ease of use. This product is simple but also has the ability to be very complex. I like how I can share with anyone without them having to add a license. It is great that it can be used for all different types of projects and that the information is live and can be updated very easily. The app is user friendly and this platform can be used on any computer system. What do you dislike? When you share a sheet with someone, they have to click on the link rather than ...

Smartsheet makes Project Management a breeze!

What do you like best? I love the feature that allows your to input dates for different project tasks and insert prerequisites. It is great how you can move things around and the dates automatically update. It is also nice to be able to view the sheet in many different ways for each persons liking. What do you dislike? Sometimes I don't feel the user interaction with the menu items is setup the greatest. A better help page or hover suggestion when over certain functions would be ...

SmartSheet - Better Than Excel

What do you like best? To be honest, I believe there are way more advanced functionalities to SmartSheet that I could benefit from but am not familiar with. However, the sheer fact that we can have a project plan accessible by both internal and external (customer parties with ONE version of the truth has been huge for us. Along with the gantt capabilities, especially considering most do not have access to Microsoft Project to view MPP files. What do you dislike? The interface feels a ...
