Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet

We use SmartSheet in place of Excel worksheets that multiple people need to have access to manipulate the data. We use it for meetings/departments that need to assign items- the reminder function allows us to 'set it and forget it'. It is great for collaboration as we have different locations.

Pros

  • Ability to have multiple people access data at a time they need, without worrying that another person may have the sheet 'locked' as often happens when working with Excel.
  • The ability to set automatic reminders. I use it for those things 60, 90, even 365 days in the future. I tell it when I want to be reminded and I get an email in my inbox telling me a task needing attention (much more effective than the task function in my email that I am great at ignoring).
  • The formatting capabilities allow for a lot of data to be managed effectively.

Cons

  • The conditional formatting is not as robust as in Excel.
  • We have been able to collaborate more as a team, as well as my 1 man HR department has been able to use it to become more efficient with tasks that normally would be hard to track.
I would not use it for anything that requires pretty extensive conditional formatting. For any other Excel spreadsheet you would normally share (and fight when someone is in it and you need it) I would definitely recommend using SmartSheet!
