Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet
We often use Smartsheet for cross-departmental projects. For example, we use it to manage our annual process of activating and billing our new students each August. It allows us to interact with the same checklist of tasks in real time during a conference call while offering better security than Google Sheets.
- For login purposes, we love that Smartsheet integrates with our university's existing login credentials.
- Smartsheet allows users to attach files to cells within a sheet. We have not seen this with similar products.
- The "Email Shared Users" feature is very convenient for notifying all interested parties of updates.
- The visual appearance of Smartsheet seems a bit outdated compared to products like Google Sheets.
- Depending on how a link to a sheet is sent to users, it sometimes takes a series of clicks to figure out how to log in with your company's credentials.
- It appears that Smartsheet does not accommodate the use of functions/equations within a sheet to the same level of complexity as Google Sheets.
- Smartsheet has provided a central task tracking hub for activating and billing our new students.
- We have found it valuable that multiple users can edit a sheet at the same time.
- Smartsheet's security measures are stronger than products like Google Sheets, including integrating with our company login credentials.
We do not use Gmail as our company email service, so Google Sheets does not offer the same level of file security as Smartsheet. Smartsheet offers other features that Google Sheets does not, such as attaching files to a sheet. Although Google Sheets has a more modern look to it and offers more advanced spreadsheet equations and functions, these aspects are less important to us for most projects that we manage.
