Overall Satisfaction with Smartsheet
Smartsheet is often used when handling cross-departmental projects. For instance, when managing the company's annual activities and billing. The software allows us to interact with similar task checklists in real-time when under conference calls. Above all, it offers the best security compared to Google Sheets.
- The software allows us to attach files on cells within the sheet. Other softwares don’t have this feature.
- Smartsheet has a feature called “Email Shared Users” which improves its reliability to notify users on the current updates.
- Smartsheet has been designed in a way that it integrates comfortably with most management systems of different organizations.
- This software has an outdated appearance when compared to its competitors, Google Sheets. The interface should be re-designed.
- Smartsheet does not support the use of equations/functions within the sheet, as it is done on Google Sheets.
- It sometimes takes too long to figure out how to log in using the company credentials depending on how the link to the sheet is set.
- When billing and activating our new employees, Smartsheet has proven to be our central tracking hub.
- It allows multiple editing of sheets by different workers at the same time. This saves on time.
- The security measures implemented in this software are much stronger than those of Google sheets, hence privacy of company data is guaranteed.
Considering the fact that the organization does not use email services, Google Sheets cannot guarantee high-level security for our files. Also, there are some other features offered by Smartsheet that are not offered by Google Sheets, such as attaching files to sheets.
