    Planview
    Planview TaskTop Hub is very well suited to implement the integrations to synchronise data such as requirement, task, bugs. We have very good experience with the integration between Jama and Jira as well as between two Jama instances. In the context test management, related to Test steps in a test case, it's quite complicated. Test Case synchronization between two Jama instances works with Steps. But we aren't able to implement the synchronisation of Test Cases including Steps to such Plugin of Jira like Xephyr.

    Smartsheet shines for collaboration. When you have multiple people involved with planning events Smartsheet makes it easy to share and collaborate. For instance, multiple people can be in Smartsheet working at the same time. Also setting permissions for exactly those who need to know is quite easy with Smartsheet. For data analytics and general spreadsheet purposes Excel is better but for project management and event planning Smartsheet is superior

    Pros
    Planview
    • Allows for one- vs bi-directional field flow which is useful per segment
    • Allows for the relationship mapping of Parent/Child cards
    • Allows for customization of mapped fields

    • Its hard to overstate the value of familiarity. Being able to use a tool that has some familiarity takes away the time needed to train and orient employees on a new tool and allows an organization to hit the ground running.
    • Smartsheet covers most of the basics of a project management tool, the usual tasks, milestones and project viewing options.
    • For data viewing, you get multiple data viewing options including a calendar view (good for marketing teams and those who work around scheduling), Kanban, Gaant etc

    • Smartsheet set up is similar to Excel, yet when you upload an Excel file, things like conditional formatting are lost. Smartsheet has its own conditional formatting, and you have to reinstate the rules. It would be great if those would apply automatically once a file is uploaded
    • Some Smartsheet management and access rules can take some tweaking to work properly. This may be a case of offering more info to admins so they can apply these better and with more efficiency

    It definitely meets our needs as far as organizing and archiving our tasks and files. As we train more staff to view it, I see opportunities for more improvement, which I am sure this program can handle. I look forward to seeing continued improvement from Smartsheet on their capabilities and functionality.

    Usability
    Planview
    A great integration tool, which comes with a wide range of supported end tools. Planview TaskTop Hub works with an integration concept that maximizes the scalability and flexibility of integrations across more than just two tools. For example, from our experience, we started with the integration between Jama Connect and Jira. We were able to extend our integration concept to a new tool, Pro Cloud Server, by ourselves. The element was synced within 10 minutes.

    Smartsheet is very easy to learn. However, while I have been able to pick it easily, Microsoft Excel and Project super users that I have trained on Smartsheet get bogged down in the differences and can find it frustrating. Explaining the differences ahead of time and why Smartsheet is being chosen instead of a different software seems to counteract those reactions

    Reliability and Availability

    We're hosting Planview TaskTop Hub by ourselves. The availability was good until now. A part of that, we have a strict plan for the quality control on any update of both Hub and End tools to avoid as much as possibily any disruptions.

    Planview TaskTop Hub does generate traffic for some end tools. It is still in an acceptable range. For certain kind of retry to resolve issue in synchronizing relationships, an additional manual attention was required.

    Support Rating
    Planview
    I was considering giving a rating between 9 and 10. Overall, the support has been very good so far. However, I have noticed that the members of the support team have varying levels of know-how about Planview TaskTop Hub. When a ticket about a complex technical issue reaches a member such as Christoph T., Sr. Customer Engineer, the analysis is done thoroughly, and a sustainable solution is provided. With other members of the support team, the experience might be different.

    I give this rating because it fills a niche in the market. MS Project scares many away from proper task management but there are limited tools our there, especially cloud-based that are mobile-friendly. Smartsheet fills this market gap, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. IT is not fair to compare it to MS Project, but fairer to see what gaps it fills.

    We had a very good collaboration with the enabling team from Tasktop in 2018. The enablement program was adequately structured, starting with building an integration concept based on use cases of the synchronized data. The training provided a good foundation for us to operate and maintain the tool. The tool administration and architecture were straightforward.

    It's absolutely paramount to take a few minutes to actually play with the software. It's nearly impossible to do anything wrong or make a mistake which cannot be fixed easily. Under the help menu is Live Training option. After you familiarize yourself with the commands, watch the live training for some in depth understanding of how to make the software fit your needs perfectly.

    Jira and Redmine are much more robust and technologically advanced project management solutions. I enjoy using either when managing a very large project. However, I prefer to use Smartsheet for my smaller to medium sized projects. As for Google Drive - I would say that Google sheets and Smartsheet are almost identical in my opinion when it comes to functionality. Personally I prefer to manage smaller projects via Google Drive, but it is a personal preference!

    • We track monthly updates and each month there are typically over 30,000 updates being made which we know is saving time.

    • This has really opened up collaboration across teams. A lot less working in silos.
    • It hasn't fully replaced any one tool so it means having to go to another place. Hopefully, we can eliminate a tool or two in the next six months.
