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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Smartsheet saves time for both me and my team; compared to Microsoft Project, which is more expensive, we save costs using Smartsheet."
"Smartsheet is scalable; we deployed it in 47 large distribution centers across the United States, and we had six projects running on it while the corporate office could view all of the projects at once because the program management option is terrific."
"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."
"The management aspect is the most valuable. You can also prioritize tasks and then view tasks by priorities as passports."
"We practically couldn't run our business without it at this point."
"It is my favorite project management tool; it is very flexible, much easier to use than Microsoft Project in terms of creating custom fields, and very similar to Excel, so people understand it, which makes it easier to use for most users."
"The most valuable feature of Smartsheet is it can be highly customized."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
 

Cons

"The integration with Microsoft products should be improved."
"They provide a limited number of sheets which is not enough."
"Smartsheet could improve by having seamless integration with Azure Board."
"I'd like to see them add more features to their automation."
"Smartsheet is a cloud-based tool similar to Google Sheets in that multiple stakeholders can work on a document simultaneously. However, unlike Google Sheets, which saves changes in real time, Smartsheet requires users to manually save their changes."
"I think it's a little chintzy on what you get for that kind of money and any individual using it would want more than 10 sheets."
"I think their support team is low quality. They're low and lack response, which is not good for customers."
"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."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There would be more extensive usage if the solution were cheaper. It's really expensive right now, and that's why we provide a few licenses for admins. The rest of them are just users without admin privileges."
"I would assume there is a licensing fee. I don't think that it is free."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The tool's monthly fee is 25 dollars, which is within the range of most cloud-based project management tools. I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. I was responsible for negotiating the price with the Smartsheet team, but I don't remember what the price was. Its standard license probably was around 5,000 to 6,000 a year. The enterprise version is significantly more expensive."
"There's a license for Smartsheet, and the enterprise plan comes down to about $750. My company also pays an extra $60 monthly apart from the standard licensing fee."
"If I'm not mistaken, it was pretty manageable. It was about 200 bucks a seed. The business really felt a strong need for it. So, it was viewed as a safer and more straightforward cost that we were willing to pay as compared to Domo, which took some convincing."
"I pay $ 120 or $ 128 a month for two to three users."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
