A highly scalable tool that offers users the ability to use it for international projects
The most valuable feature of the solution is the functionality that it offers since the performance part is not so critical as you only use it to upload or download documents and create tasks. Celoxis is not used for very high transaction requirements. My company did not face any issues with Celoxis's performance. Celoxis was quite quick, and its functionality was rich, prompting my company to integrate it with many other project management features for which we previously used several other systems. Celoxis replaced and offered a product that was an integration of Excel and Microsoft Project into a single suite.

Automation simplifies manual tasks and facilitates team communication
There are many useful features in Smartsheet. One can easily share plans with the entire team, and it functions similarly to Microsoft Project. Creating dependencies across all tasks is smooth, and team members can make adjustments if necessary. Automation helps by simplifying some manual work, saving time and facilitating communication.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Celoxis is scalable in terms of the number of users or the number of projects that the product can handle. Even the storage that is available for a project is scalable in Celoxis."
"I like that the solution has subtasks and a rollup, it has a pretty good interface and it's intuitive, and I use it for personal things and I like it even though I have company products that I could use."
"The ability to build a quick dashboard and give management insight into the progress of the project itself is probably one of the most beneficial pieces."
"What I found most valuable in Smartsheet is its project customization feature. It's a great solution because you can add in your own WBS. You can see it in Jira style, Kanban, and you can even do Agile and Waterfall. Another feature that's valuable in the solution is when you have those connections, you have that API, you have a sandbox, and you can make a solution, it's a tremendous product because you can pull data."
"We practically couldn't run our business without it at this point."
"I like the dashboarding feature best, as it lets me assemble a workspace with source sheets, dashboards, and reports simultaneously. The standard reports and worksheets are most useful for team collaboration. People look at dashboards during presentations, but they go to the sheets to update projects, add comments, or make notifications. It's automated, so changes come to me or whoever needs to see them. I can send notifications from specific line items."
"It's stable and simple to use."
"I think it's a great tool."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
 

Cons

"One feature in Celoxis that is quite hard to understand and set up is its access management part."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"Smartsheet also needs to improve on training, because the training that is out there is very little. The solution requires a steeper learning curve."
"The product must include more modules for project management."
"The system can become more challenging to use in more complex scenarios, requiring additional add-ons that can be quite costly."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation. Right now, automation is very limited."
"I want to improve baselines, predecessor-successor relationships, and the ability to use manual starts and stops while keeping relationships intact. Changing dates and durations can be convoluted, unlike in Microsoft Project. There are many things I'm used to in other software that don't happen in Smartsheet. It's offset by how easy it is to link sheets and pull data at higher levels, but figuring out why I can't change data sometimes can be frustrating."
"Smartsheet could improve the UI and integrations. Some of Smartsheet's competitors have more than 2,000 integrations while Smartsheet only has approximately 40 integration applications."
"The only reason we migrated to another application was the full integration available in other solutions. We never used the integration capabilities of Smartsheet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I am unsure, I guess that my company pays around 20 to 25 USD every month for every user."
"There would be more extensive usage if the solution were cheaper. It's really expensive right now, and that's why we provide a few licenses for admins. The rest of them are just users without admin privileges."
"The solution is expensive."
"I believe a licensed user costs between 300 to 400 euros."
"I pay $ 120 or $ 128 a month for two to three users."
"I would assume there is a licensing fee. I don't think that it is free."
"There's a trial version and a free version. Each license costs a decent amount, $25 per month or something."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. I was responsible for negotiating the price with the Smartsheet team, but I don't remember what the price was. Its standard license probably was around 5,000 to 6,000 a year. The enterprise version is significantly more expensive."
"There's a license for Smartsheet, and the enterprise plan comes down to about $750. My company also pays an extra $60 monthly apart from the standard licensing fee."

Has anyone moved from Microsoft Project to Smartsheet? How has your experience been with Smartsheet?
Hi @Eire Zimmermann, I helped an organization evaluate both MS-Project and Smartsheet when they were conducting their PM tool RFP. The short of it is this, MS Project is not caught up with the mo...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Smartsheet?
Licensing might be cheaper per user. I rate it as seven or eight due to its demanding nature. For personal use, I have a monthly subscription, while the company uses an annual basis.
What needs improvement with Smartsheet?
Currently, I feel that Smartsheet fulfills all my needs. However, I need to investigate more about the product to identify specific areas for improvement.
