Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet

We utilize Smartsheet to track production of our learning activities in different grade levels. We have various milestones that we record completion dates of which allows users visibility of overall progress and identifies ownership. We label due dates and provide hyperlinks to existing assets in JIRA and Xinet, our digital asset management system.
  • Sorting categories and columns
  • Hyperlinks to JIRA
  • Multiple users can view at once
  • Real-time updates
  • Ability to export filtered information to Excel
  • Finer navigation of cursor
  • Finer navigation of scrollbar
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Increased visibility
  • Ease of sharing information to other departments and offsite employees and consultants
JIRA allows for a greater breakdown of tasks and subtasks. Smartsheet is more for a quick snapshot. I utilize Smartsheet daily as a one stop location which houses my list of working titles and hyperlinks to access more detailed information in JIRA. We also utilize Smartsheet to communicate pertinent deadline dates.
The fact that Smartsheet is cloud based is an issue for financial use and confidentiality but it's a pretty dynamic tool for large scale production. An important factor to consider is cost for multiple administrators so an organization should estimate how many are required since there is a fee for multiple administrators but unlimited users.
