Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With the work boards easy to convert to Gantt charts, valuable time is saved when preparing for project meetings."
"Creating super-smart to-do lists, intern management, and sales leads lists has been huge."
"You can create a group of tasks and can write down sub-tasks under each task."
"It has kept all our departments accountable and gives a quick birds-eye to see how projects are progressing."
"The structure it has, the sites, the boards, and how easily you can transfer information from one place to the other is great."
"We use the status column quite frequently and the search bar to easily find specific customers and orders."
"The best feature is the form for requests for new projects."
"The templates helped me to kick off process solutions for our team."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"To me, one of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is being able to email others."
"It is my favorite project management tool. The reason for that is that it is very flexible. It is much easier to use than Microsoft Project in terms of creating custom fields. It is very similar to Excel. So, people understand it, which makes it a little bit easier to use for most users."
"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."
"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."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"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."
"Their support is awesome. We are on an enterprise plan and there is a customer success at Smartsheet and anyone from our licensed users can just send an email to them and they respond as soon as possible."
"We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."
"We have difficulties playing with automation."
"The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement."
"I archive the data, but I don't know where to find it or how. When I was testing, I thought I saw all the archived files sorted in no order and without knowing where they came from."
"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."
"It would be nice to have more custom automation and also to simplify some steps to better manage a team and a workload for projects."
"I wish there were more calculations available across boards and pulses."
"The product must include more modules for project management."
"Smartsheet could be improved to be a ticketing system. It would be nice to have a system to do everything."
"Smartsheet should continue to expand the spreadsheet-type functionality because it's limited currently. Most business users are familiar with Excel and Office, so Smartsheet should adopt a similar way of navigating the program."
"I think that the mobile interface needs to be improved. If you cannot access it through your laptop, I'd prefer to have that option on the mobile, but I don't think that it's user-friendly and easy to navigate."
"Smartsheet's export and print functions could be more seamless. Once I create the plan in Smartsheet, I need to import it into my corporate web presentations. This isn't always smooth. I have to save it in PDF format, then cut an image from the PDF version."
"With a large quantity of data, the solution lags a bit."
"Maybe the solution could be a little bit more flexible."
"I think it is all going to be about APIs in the future and I don't think Smartsheet is doing a lot in that regard. They have some integrations with Jira, but you have to pay for them."
