Pros

It's been great having so many templates to choose from and customize. Awesome that it can be integrated with MS Teams.
I love the ease to customize your sheet for whatever you need and however you like it. Love being able to switch around columns and sort rows so quickly too.
The project being web-based helps to share information with other members of the team. The ability to export to various formats, as well as get team updates is a huge benefit.

Pros

We love Nifty and the support team just keep improving the product at all times with slicker and new feature.
Its overall design features are good and you can customize them to fit your needs. I also like that I can put my tasks in order of importance, integrate my documents and I can organize my work more.
Nifty has been our core project and task management system for a while, and is super helpful for inviting other team members and customers to collaborate.

Cons

I then took the Smartsheet training to be certified and that opened my eyes to the power of the tool (and also to the fact that the sheets I hated were users in our company using it very, very WRONG).
The only complaint that I have is that if the spreadsheet is very large, the page can be slightly laggy.
Some features seem to be missing or limited features available.

Cons

Limited direct integrations. Too much reliance on Zapier/Integromat will be costly as you business is expanding.
The UI for the my calendar is terrible, since filters from my tasks or even all tasks can affect it. We have to constantly check if filters have been set up right.
It's been very difficult for us to coordinate projects and communication across the team, and as we bring on new team members, this was becoming more of an issue.

Smartsheet

Project Management made SUPER EASY

Reviewed 6 years ago

I can't say enough about this product. You really can do so much with that you can't go wrong.

Pros

Setting it up is so easy almost anyone can do this. Security settings are top notch and even easier to add than excel. Plus is that so many

Cons

Takes an adjustment of the mind when creating nifty formulas and doesn't provide the best error messages. However they provide awesome training videos and user guides that help overcome this.

Smartsheet

A flexible tool only limited by your imagination and ability with formulae

Reviewed 3 years ago

Smartsheet has been transformational for our business. As a small bespoke kitchen manufacturer (21 staff) we have some industry specific software for design and quoting, but most out of the box ERP software doesn't fit. We don't have an IT department so anything we use needs to be robust, and my background in programming has enabled us to implement some nifty systems using Smartsheet, but without the hassle of actually writing and then maintaining our own programs. Excel just doesn't compare, and is not cloud native so just doesn't work so well even in Office 365. We genuinely cannot live without it.

Pros

Cloud based - available everywhere to everyone Flexibility - it's not only a project management tool, it can do most things that Excel can do, but often better. Specifically column formulae are a fantastic recent addition that enables sheets to become almost unbreakable

Cons

Nothing major. There are some minor gripes: - Slack integration doesn't allow tagging of individuals, and cannot allow a variable to determine which channel to send the message to - Cannot yet control heirarchy with formulae, I hope this function will come eventually
