Pros and Cons of Smartsheet 2024 (2024)

It is very helpful to collaborate with team members.

Dashboards are very useful for giving the Project status update to the management.

We can sync Smartsheet with the Teams and outlook, which really helps to notify team members.

Collaboration with teammates

'Live' shared document rather than a static excel that is only a moment in time

Ability to leave comments and chat with your teammates

Document Builder - e.g. all the contracts are generated automatically with data from Smartsheet.

Ticketing Systems - using forms we can create tickets that are automatically assigned to preferred people.

Request for update - if we need to have updated data in some cells but we do not want to share the entire sheet with someone, we can send a form just to update the data in rows.

The community of Smartsheet is amazing if there are any questions or problems the community is eager to help.

With the paid license you get access to Smartsheet University.
