Product Details

What is Smartsheet?

Smartsheet is an online project management and collaboration tool from Smartsheet.inc in Bellevue, Washington. The software has a characteristic spreadsheet like interface but contains the full panoply of features expected of project management and collaboration software, such as automated alerts, instantaneous updating and sharing across team members, resource management facilitating budgeting and task allocation, nested tasks organized in a hierarchy, a Gantt chart view, the ready production of exportable reports (e.g. Excel), and integration with email. Across spreadsheets cells can be linked allowing the creation of master spreadsheets that provide ready summaries or automated reports. Smartsheet's capabilities can be expanded with a multitude of apps (e.g. Dropbox, Google Apps) or integrated into combinatory solutions (e.g. with Salesforce) to tailor fit business needs. It supports full mobile access.

Three tiers cover Smartsheet's pricing options. The Basic level provides core features for small groups of individuals, while the Team level is recommended for groups of up to 50 people and supports more user features, allows multiple sheet creators, and has reporting functions. The Enterprise level is a custom fit tier for groups of greater than 50 individuals or companies, and may include dedicated support personnel if desired.

Collaborative Project Management Tool

We use Smartsheet across Project Management, Engineering, and Prototyping teams. We use it to track development projects, resource planning, and to manage projects. It is a unique PM software because it allows simultaneous access of files between multiple people. PM assigns tasks and can request updates through Smartsheet. Task owners provide status updates on their own, creating more efficient communication.
  • Collaboration
  • Project management
  • Notifications and updates
  • Critical path
Cons
  • Resource planning is a rudimentary, mostly manual operation.
  • Cannot create a list of the pre-defined user team.
  • Would be good to have visual customization of each project worksheet (such as customer logo).
Smartsheet is a great alternative to MS Project. It is lower cost and has better collaboration features. Good tool if the project management team has multiple projects on the go.

Great project management software

I think SmartSheet is a very good product, and replicates all the desirable portions of conventional project planning software like MS Project. The UI is smoother than Project and it was easier for me to correlate the data in the grid to the charts on the right. I like that the data can be exported and shared, and that makes this a very collaborative software.

One limitation that I continue to find jarring is the lack of an out-of-the-box tie into JIRA and other tools where the atomic aspects of the project live. It would be neat if dates that shift in JIRA, for example, also led to adjustments in the project schedule. That would save me time and enable tracking all the same.
  • The UI is smooth and easy to use.
  • The tool is intuitive in that it works just the way I'd want a tool like this to operate.
  • The charts are easy to follow and correlate well with the dates on the left.
Cons
  • The tool can be a bit slow sometimes given the graphics that it requires.
  • The lack of direct tie-in to tools like JIRA diminishes what would otherwise be a complete tool.
I think this is well-suited for longer projects that are both complicated and interconnected. That way I can see all the moving parts and how they relate in terms of dates and dependencies.

We currently use Smartsheet in both our eCommerce Marketing department and Supplier Marketing department. Smartsheet allows us to coordinate projects in a cross-functional environment.
  • Cloud-based program. Easy for offsite/remote users to access.
  • Web forms. Easy to create.
  • Ease of use. Fairly easy to implement and very user friendly.
Cons
  • More formulas available.
  • Faster load times for 'large' sheets.
How many users will you have for each Sheet?

We use it for project management in Marketing. The marketing department is assigned tasks in smartsheet but the projects we work on are for other departments and they have view only access to so they can see the status.
  • It is good for building reports. For example, I have a report that I use for all tasks assigned to digital engagement and I go through the list with the team each week.
  • It is good for collaboration. At our organization, we use the comment and discussion sections to provide notes and updates on projects and attach drafts and final products
  • It is good for scheduling and tracking. For example, when we have a print piece or email going out we put can put the start date and finish date and track the progress to meet deadlines.
Cons
  • Assigning multiple people to a task. I figured out how to do this but it took awhile.
  • For the most part its intuitive but some functions take awhile to figure out.
I think it's ideal for large organizations where different departments work together frequently. As I mentioned before, it takes awhile to get comfortable with so keep that in mind. If your organization is tech savvy it's not a problem.

Our business development team and project management team uses Smartsheet to create Gantt charts for proposals and for managing projects. It used across the organization to support project management.

It supports our project leadership, management, organization and resource management
  • Gantt Charts
  • Project tracking
  • Project task management/critical paths
Cons
  • A few more options re: printing would be helpful (e.g. only print certain project phases or timelines)
It's well suited to any organization that needs to manage one or more projects, including management of project resources, timelines, deliverables, critical paths & dependencies, etc.
