"The way it allows our team to communicate with each other and keep each other up to date on many ongoing assignments at once through comments and the subitems feature is very helpful."
"I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
"There are so many automations to streamline everyday tasks and reduce click counts when doing admin work. It is incredible."
"Before signing on with Monday, we had no idea what the total value of our book of business was, and keeping track of renewing policies was very difficult."
"Monday.com sends email notifications to keep us all on task. I love the email reminders asking me where I am with the assigned task and if I need some help. I have used this to get things done on time, and it also encourages me to acknowledge when I need some help because I have not been able to complete the task."
"Items and boards are ideal as they help in keeping everything in a single location without any confusion."
"The value is that monday.com provides us with an overall picture of how much work a teammate has."
"The ability to update in real-time before meetings is great."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"The dashboard feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The fact that you can have different access groups is definitely a pro for Smartsheet. It also has the ability to integrate with a lot of tools."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"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."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"Smartsheet offers more than Project because it's similar to a table-based, database-type system. It's like a hybrid between Excel and project software. We were able to enter the formulas and do much of the automation. We added budgets to it and linked them to a vendor page. Smartsheet let us integrate the budget into the project seamlessly. With Project, we needed to open up Excel."
"Some boards are just buggy."
"It spams my inbox with many unwanted emails."
"Opening up a task and adding content/updates could be a little more organized visually."
"It would be helpful if there were a little more flexibility with user numbers and the ability to add guests for a period of time."
"Having easier access to training videos on how all features can interact with one another would be helpful."
"It helped us a lot in content management issues for TikTok and YouTube, however, it would be good to have an integration for each social network to get all the data within a single platform."
"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"We'd like more automation."
"Lacks the ability to edit attachments within the solution."
"There are some pain points for me. Other people use it a little differently, but I would like to be able to do a little more with it. I would like database functionality with it wherein if I bring in several Excel spreadsheets of data and load them into Smartsheets, I should be able to make a correlation between an index field and run a report against those two. I can do it, but it's a little clunky. So, I need a little more experience to feel comfortable doing that."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"The downside of Smartsheet is that there are some security concerns. We were able to restrict people from sharing sheets with anyone who was not in our domain, but it could be easier. We also found it hard to restrict certain user groups from adding attachments to sheets."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"The main challenge with Smartsheet is that when you start putting components on the Smartsheet dashboard, they don't know about each other. So, if I filter something in one widget, or if I click on a region or a project ID, the other widget or component and the visualization that's on that dashboard don't change. It doesn't know about the other component."
