Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet
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.

Pros
- 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.
- This has provided for enhanced visibility into not just the top line dates but also how individual components of the project depend on each other.

We were ready for a tool that captured what MS Project provided, but we're also a Google shop so we wanted to get something different.
