"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"Smartsheet is easy to use."
"Smartsheet is stable."
"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."
"We like Smartsheet's workflows, automation, and low-code capabilities. I don't know of any other project management tool with low-code functionality designed for project managers."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"Smartsheet is a really good tool for collaboration."
"For doing project plans what was really valuable is the ability to do a predecessor."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"If there was some way to store more complex files in the system, or if there was a back-end structure where you could store files, that would be ideal."
"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."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"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."
"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."
"A room for improvement I found in Smartsheet is the view, as it's currently row-wise. I should have the opportunity to view a full scale, top down list instead of just a column driven list. I shouldn't have to go just left or right. I should be able to view it top down."
"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."
