Excellent portfolio management SaaS - strategy, savings, visibility
I haven't used the product for over a year, so this could be out of date but entering information was somewhat cumbersome. PPM systems in general are a challenge to keep populated with current information. The business priority of portfolio visibility must be communicated to users and reinforced that the project doesn't exist unless it's updated in the system.

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.

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.
