SmartsheetExcel on steroids! If you manage a team that manages a ton of projects, Smartsheet is a LIFESAVER! It's familiar, dynamic, and comprehensive in its reporting and dashboard features.2018-08-16T18:53:51.979ZWe use Smartsheet to share dynamic project info and manage multiple projects with changing information on a daily basis. Our entire organization uses an enterprise level account, but we are power users in our department. My team manages over 75+ projects with multiple moving parts and I need an easy way to see a snapshot of daily progress on all projects, as well as a dashboard view that includes statuses. Smartsheet does just that. We think of it as Excel on steroids, that you can maintain in a live, real-time environment. It has made my team faster and more accurate for sure.,Dashboards. If you know how to use them, they can combine the info and data from multiple sheets into one comprehensive view. This is crucial if you are managing a team that manages multiple projects in Smartsheet. It's like having all of the up to date, real time info at my fingertips.
Love that they went mobile. I can check info onsite when I'm traveling without having to login to my computer or have my computer with me.,I would love to see the ability customize some of the forms with our own branding.
I would love the ability to be able to delete a sheet, even if I was not the owner. Perhaps maybe give an overall administrator status. We have folks who have left the company and I cannot delete their old sheets. It gets very cluttered.,8,Because we have the ability to enter in expenses and financial info in a real time manner, I am able to run reports more quickly to provide accurate numbers for ROI calculation. The C-Suite loves getting budget info on time!
From what I understand, choosing an enterprise level agreement saves the company money overall, rather than having a bunch of different departments, some using it, some not.
We are more GDPR compliant. That is important to our customers, so it is important to us.,Trello,Concur Expense, Marketo, CrowdCompass, QualtricsMegan GatesEasy to use project management solution at the right cost!2018-08-28T15:14:42.852ZSmartsheet is being used throughout many departments and users in our organization to collect, store and report on information such as employment applications, training registrations, and employee suggestions. We are also using it for project management to keep track of assigned staff, timelines and tasks to complete. With the notifications and alerts, Smartsheet allows us to keep track of a wide variety of tasks and organize our work.,The thing that made Smartsheet stand out to us from other project management solutions was how easy it is to use. The spreadsheet-like layout allows users to jump in and use it without much, if any, training. Once you are comfortable with the basic spreadsheet functions, you can dive into formulas and different layout options to make it as complex as you like.
Alerts and Notifications help keep you aware of changes made or when certain tasks are due. It's easy to end up with a multitude of sheets and lose track of where you stand or what is due. With the variety of ways that you can set up notifications and alerts, Smartsheet does the work for you.,I would love to see new features rolled out a little more quickly. Many users have been waiting for some time for the ability to multi-select items in a list.,10,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.,Google Drive, Microsoft Project and Basecamp,Microsoft Office 365, athenaClinicals, Canva, Facebook for Business, Google DriveChristina OnolajaSmartSheet is a great product for everyone!2018-08-16T17:14:05.743ZWe utilize SmartSheet in various functions in our daily work. One of the aspects that I appreciate the most is the scheduling aspect, and the reporting functions. I really enjoy the collaboration capabilities and the ease of the conditional formatting. The import and export functions are extremely useful in order to share sheets with non users.,Conditional formatting makes it easy for anyone to personalize a sheet!
Sharing sheets with free users, and they really have a considerable amount of usability!
The scheduling aspect combined with many of the traditional Excel functions.,Some of the automated update requests could use some tweaking. It would be nice to be able to send an automated request update to a contact list without a trigger.
It seems as though there are a lot of requested functions that are not addressed.
The sheet limitations seem a little low considering the package we are paying for.,10,We have noticed an increase in updated forms and information.
Fewer projects are falling behind.
People are making sure that they are collaborating on their work.Shesha KelleySmartsheet is a great tool for team collaboration!2018-08-15T22:54:17.360ZI work for a holding company which works with restaurant franchisees both domestically and abroad. Naturally, our international team is spread around the globe, so in order to share information and documents fluidly, we need a web-based system to be able to do so. Smartsheet is one of the many tools we use to do that. As the sole franchise paralegal for the international team, I utilize Smartsheet in conjunction with our international operations personnel located abroad to keep track of our current franchisees, prospective franchisees, development schedules, etc. I love that we can all work in the system at the same time and receive real-time updates from coworkers anywhere in the world. It's a great tool for us, and I highly recommend it!,Provide real-time updates
Allow multiple users to view and edit simultaneously
Simple, easy-to-use interface
Document security,I haven't come across any cons, personally, in my use of this system,10,Allowed teams to work seamlessly from anywhere in the world
Provides one place for everyone to track and maintain progress on certain projects
Simple project visibility for all team members,OneNote, Skype for Business, TodoistAlicia VallartaSuper efficient and organized2018-08-15T22:45:59.180ZSmartsheet was used by my organization's marketing and creative departments to track all of our information. We have Smartsheet docs for contact sheets, for scheduling, and for tracking. One of the things we used Smartsheet for was to track which film studios had purchased ad buys with our owners because we needed that information to know what materials we need to create. Every week, we would generate a report on this spreadsheet, which would sort the data and give us only the relevant information for our weekly meetings. We would search by which of our owners needed the content, and then by date, so that the correct liaisons could look at their sections and then know what to work on based on the date. We also linked many of our smartsheets to a large dashboard, which was created each month, that allowed each of us to input specific information into our own personal Smartsheet docs and all of this info, combined with everyone else's, would populate into the larger dashboard, which could be looked at as a whole. That way, we each only had to put in our information once, and it would update the master dash for everyone.,Generation reports - this is super simple to do and saves tons of time and effort. Instead of having to create reports every time you need one, we can generate a report any time and it is nearly instant.
Linking sheets - this saves us from duplication of efforts. We will never have to input the same data into two separate sheets, instead we can update one sheet and it will populate into the linked sheets.
Exporting documents - It is super simple to export documents into excel format so that they can be sent outside of our organization. It allows us to control what is internal, and what is shared externally.,I preferred the old design better, but am slowly getting used to the new design.,10,This has saved us from duplication of efforts (saved time)
This has allowed us to work efficiently in an organized manner,Slack, OpenX, SailthruCassidy Ebert
