Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet
Many of my colleagues use Smartsheet as a project management tool. My department has been using it for 5 years and it has transformed our processes by streamlining tasks and providing transparency to key stakeholders. We have implemented automated approvals which has cut down on emails and human errors.
Pros
- It allows for attachments and notes at the row level; this keeps many of our documents organized and viewable on the mobile app and for all those who have rights to see the sheet.
- The automated approval process has cut down on manpower by 10%. This has resulted in increased productivity by eliminating repetitive but necessary steps.
- Reporting - this allows the roll-up of information that reaches across multiple Smartsheets. Important information can be realized at a glance rather than looking at many spreadsheets. It also allows for the sharing of only necessary information to stake holders.
- The mobile app has given me freedom to access the sheets at any time without having to store documents and information in multiple platforms.
Cons
- It would be helpful when importing an Excel spreadsheet if the format would remain the same; such as the color of the rows and columns.
- Sometimes when viewing rows on the mobile app, they don't align properly when scrolling across.
- I would like to see more in-depth training videos.
- It has increased productivity by at least 20% allowing our department to take on more work but with less administrative costs.
- It has allowed us to provide transparency and reporting to key stakeholders. Many people in our organization use Smartsheet so it has been an easy transition to use it.
- Smartsheet keeps our data protected and organized so we do not have to print information - it is ready at our fingertips with the use of the mobile app.
- MS SharePoint
The functionality of Smartsheet really does not make this a fair comparison. Smartsheet has version control and not just within the sheet but each cell that contains data. This has been a game changer in protecting the integrity of information that we work with. Working across sheets and reporting across sheets has been incredibly beneficial.
