"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."
"Smartsheet does a really good job of creating Gantt charts. Export to Excel feature was also very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Smartsheet is it can be highly customized."
"The dashboard and the layouts are quite good."
"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."
"It operates as an enhanced and versatile version of Excel, offering a wide range of capabilities that allow you to accomplish various tasks and operations."
"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."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe the solution could be a little bit more flexible."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"The dashboard is not user-friendly, it needs improvement."
"Asana has a modern look and feel, particularly its agile project management interface featuring movable cards between columns."
"Lacks the ability to edit attachments within the solution."
"The system can become more challenging to use in more complex scenarios, requiring additional add-ons that can be quite costly."
