Smartsheet is an online project management and collaboration tool. It includes automated alerts, instantaneous updating and sharing across team members, resource management, nested tasks organized in a hierarchy, a Gantt chart view, exportable and automated reports, and integration with email.
Pretty good, but [Basecamp] has its drawbacks. Honestly I find the interface non-intuitive and sometimes have trouble figuring out how to change the status of a task. Perhaps it has something to do with the way it was originally set up by the admin, but I'm not sure. I liked …
We liked Basecamp as it was initially free to use for 30 days. Further, there were some interns in our project who used the product at their university.There were videos available on how to set up and use the product. For us, it was the convenience of setting it up and hit the …
All of them can be used regularly and we used them before. But we chose Basecamp because it's simple to use and setup. And our company is small sized organization and we don't have to use big software to track and manage our projects. I recommend Basecamp for an individual user …
Basecamp is a very basic tool. There are pros and cons to this. I think other tools like Trello have much more to offer, and many more features. But this could be an issue for organizations looking for an easy-to-use tool. It really depends on the need of the company and the …
I definitely prefer Smartsheet to Basecamp. Its more advanced, the product design is better, and the notification system and ability to comment and attach documents has been extremely useful for my organization.
I actually use Basecamp in conjunction with Smartsheet. Smartsheet is where we store the real time project plan and Basecamp is where we have discussions that do not belong on a specific row of the sheet (as many of them don't). We also house project documents that do not …
We used the SmartSheet free trial and were deeply impressed. Microsoft Excel sitting on a mail server and database with automatic Gantt Charts was our dream. We could track expected vs. actual time to complete a task, view bottlenecks, and identify time savings visually. Base…
The dynamic nature of SmartSheet can do the same things as the other tools I've used (Trello, Asana, Basecamp, etc.), but you are not locked into a single methodology or format. You have the flexibility to create the type of project tracking tool that works best for your …
We use Basecamp for our day-to-day in-house operations, but need a more "rigid" structure (spreadsheet) for managing projects with clients. Everything is in one place in Smartsheet and clients are able to find and use it easily.
Basecamp was a little too complex compared to Spreadsheet. Part of Basecamp's issue is that it tries to be many things to many people. Smartsheet first and foremost is a project management tool. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. Sometimes I wonder if Basecamp is …
Smartsheet is a dedicated project management tool that is built on spread sheet principles. When compared to Microsoft's own offering, Smartsheet came out on top in some areas like dedicated project management features vs having to build custom features to Microsoft 365. …
Smartsheet is a unique data and project management collaboration tool that sets itself apart from its competitors. Teams have the ability to create extremely customized dashboards that have data flowing to and from multiple worksheets and workspaces. Smartsheet has the ability …
I liked Smartsheet for the ease of use and simplicity. Having a view in Gantt chart is great and very helpful. Being able to invite multiple people and have everyone collaborate was useful. It made my life as a manager of projects much much easier and saved me a lot of time …
Our design and dev team really enjoyed the look, feel, and flow of monday. However, from a project management and timeline approach I found it to be overwhelming and cumbersome. I needed a tool that could easily be replicable and client facing.
Smartsheet is so much easier to use than any other product. Because of how much it resembles and Excel spreadsheet, end users can pick it up and begin using it with very little to no training. The cost is also significantly less than the alternatives. Being a cloud solution …

Chose Smartsheet
I have used Microsoft Project, Basecamp, OmniPlan and Excel to organize projects. Smartsheet, by far, is my favorite. Although Smartsheet is not quite as detailed with Gantt charts as Microsoft Project and OmniPlan, it is much more user friendly. Smartsheet also has the …
I was attempting to do all I've described with Google Sheets & SharePoint. Google Sheets didn't have all the functionality we needed. SharePoint was too difficult to set up and doesn't work well with Mac users. None of the solutions I listed could match Smartsheet's versatility …
