Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency."
"I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"This solution provides easy collaboration and allows non-building users to use the system without requiring a license."
"The tool creates shareable dashboards. These dashboards allow us to display project deliverables' status, their position in the queue, expected delivery timelines, and more. The best part is that these dashboards can be shared with our clients without a license."
"Enables coordination and sharing of information that is relatively inexpensive."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 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 dashboard feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The management aspect is the most valuable. You can also prioritize tasks and then view tasks by priorities as passports."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"The product works constantly to modernize the platform and they have made quite a lot of strides in that. I would like them to add additional features that would help us make API calls."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"The long-term timelines could be improved, especially the visuals on the projection Gantt chart."
"Smartsheet needs to improve the user interface."
"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."
"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 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."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"You were forced to create a new tab rather than add another sheet."
"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
