• Collapsible Rows - The ability to create a hierarchy and 'nest' rows under one another brings order to chaos. I have a Smartsheet that is over 800 rows. When collapsed, it's only 4 rows and allows you to logically dive into the parts that mean the most to you. Like a Mind Map.
• Ease of Use and Adoption - Smartsheet is seeing viral adoption here at VMware because it looks & feels like a spreadsheet.
• Versatility - It is the Swiss Army Knife of task management. Events, Customer Enablement, Professional Services, Sales Enablement, Sales Reporting, Lead Reporting... It's a game changer...
• Collaboration - Internally everyone can stay updated and on the same page. The ability to share outside the company has mad working with agencies MUCH easier, drastically reducing the time it takes to complete projects.
• Reporting - I have tasks assigned to me on several different project sheets. I have 1 report that lists everything assigned to me across all projects.

• It's often confusing to use and find things, I sometimes find it to be a little counterintuitive as to where functions are (e.g. for tracking budgets and pulling reports).
• When pulling a budget I always struggled to comb through the large amounts of data and time inputted. When I select a filter the page often wouldn't refresh or i'd forget to de-select a filter as it wasn't in an obvious place, which sometimes left me with pulling an incorrect budget.
• The data is only as good as the people entering the time. Often with so many small tasks people would enter time incorrectly, in the wrong milestone or project. It lists all of your projects on one page, so it's not easy to enter it and there's a lot of room for error.

• Some basic spreadsheet functionality like Merge Cells have to be worked around.
• I am an advanced Excel user and wish I could have Visual Basic functionality in Smartsheet.

• Smartsheet has helped us keep track of new employees via workflow processes that we did not have in place before. As a result, we have not lost track of enrollments, software logins, etc.
• We are able to log and plan social media posts which saves us time because we can also look back and re-use posts from historical data.
• We also save time by setting up automatic notifications when certain tasks are completed. This eliminates the need for staff to remember to manually notify staff of actions taken.
