Resource Management by Smartsheet Reviews & Product Details

I use Smart Sheet to track the time I spend on each project, making it easy to see where my hours are allocated. I update my projects daily and submit them for approval from my manager to help customize my schedule. Smart Sheet’s integration with Sheets lets me export and reorganize the data, allowing me to focus on specific projects as needed. It’s been a great tool for optimizing project management and time efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've recently noticed an issue with the Smart Sheet interface—certain options aren’t visible when trying to select them. To access those options, I’ve had to reduce the browser size, which is something I discovered when trying to add a "report something else option". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pros: Price, not the least expensive by overall value is there

Visually layed out for ease of entry and use

Similarity to other tools that may have been used.

Overall good choice

Implementing the tool is easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that (unless) I am not able to figure out how to do it is that the ability to work with others simultaneously is not available. We often have to save then refresh to both see what we have updated. Seems like a easy ask but there mat be a reason for it. Just not sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to track my time for various projects and various sub-tasks which overall impact the cost of projects and allow for possible better time allocation in the future. It's quite easy to use on a daily basis.

The projects are searchable and work with just partial names if you can't figure out exactly what it's called. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that I don't have a static timesheet and that the timer is not great to use.

Time after one week is locked off for users which can really impact those that work nights or non-standard shifts. This effectively means you need to clock your time before the end of a day that the administrator has chosen and there is no extra time for corrections/additions after the fact.

It helps me to track projects, personnel and timelines and hold my staff accountable for deliverables. The PM software is excellent and easily shared with both internal and external stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like more tutorials on how to create interactive interfaces b/t multipage sheets. Also the ability to reuse for similar projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how each smartsheet can talk in the background to each other. You can create some pretty neat automations that make doing your job an ease! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Errors

5.Limited Excel Integration

No fluid data export/import with Excel

1.Cannot leverage Excel formulas

2.Formatting/conditional formatting lacking

3.Changes don't sync across platforms

Their data download has an error that they will not corredt. Data downloads into the wrong field and is therefore unreliable. If data is entered into the project phase code field it downloads to the project code field. When reported I was told the download was operating as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
