Smartsheet vs ProProfs Project Comparison

Easier to use. Easy to share the information.

a single sheet per project. Cannot link multiple sheets per project.

The cloud-based saving and hosting makes using and sharing the sheets easy to manage and a great upgrade compared to emailing spreadsheets to team members and clients.

This is not a project management software. It markets as a way to generate timelines, project documentation, but it cannot compete with actual project documentation software.

the products ease of use, resource management view

history tracking is a little hard to find when resources changes dates in the plan

Ease of adoption; ease of setup; intuitiveness

Resource management; project portfolio management

Smartsheet is a easy to use, yet thorough tool to help any role in delivering projects. It is not as complicated as other PM software like MS Project to learn, it was very easy to figure out but there are tutorials available to help you get up to speed. Being able to create and show dashboards is a great feature.

Not a feature set as other project management tools like MS project, may not suit the hardcore PM crowd

I do like the ease of use and the integration with other software like JIRA.

I don't like the way you create a project plan. I think it's easier to do this in Microsoft Project.

-Ease of use -Integration with cloud applications -Ease of sharing project sheets

-Doesn't auto-save your project sheets

- incredibly intutive, no learning curve - excellent price - full featured (all the critical features of MS Project)

- project tracking roll up is convoluted

Easy to learn to use. If you have any experience with project management, even a simple Excel template, this software is easy to use.

Limited to the number of lines for project, but it is over 1000 so not a problem for most project planners.

If you think in terms of simple lists, rows and columns, and like to write and track (mentally) your projects on paper, Smartsheet is for you.

For me, the more complex and detailed the project was, the more I had to rely on more traditional project mgmt software.

I really enjoy the easy of use. It is very user friendly and easy to navigate. As a Project Manager, I use this product for the following documents: Project Log, Project Schedule, Project Plan, and Project Issues.

There is not a lot that I dislike. If I had to pick something, I would say there could be more document templates. However in the several years that I have been using SmartSheet, many more have been added, so that is no longer a con.

we were able to integrate tableau with smartsheet to manage a specific group of master data elements that did not have a source

we use it also as a project management software but it does not have all the features as microsoft project which could be great -

clean, simple, and mimics MS Office products.

not as many functions like MS Project has

I had used microsoft project previously and smartsheet was very easy to learn. It integrates easily with confluence. We have multiple projects going on simultaneously and were able to create a master project with links to the smartsheets of the other projects.

I haven't found any real cons yet. It has all of the features I commonly would use in creating a project plan with microsoft project.

Data roll ups and cross sheets connections of data. Very flexible

A full Agile project management tool with functionality

Smartsheet is very intuitive to use. Anyone familiar with spreadsheets can get up and running immediately. The ability to pin documents and URLs and comments to any row is an important productivity feature because it makes information easily available when you want it. While in Business School we used a number of collaboration software products to work on projects with our teammates but when I was introduced me to smartsheets I decided that that was the tool for our company and I'm glad I did.

I have experienced no cons with this project.

Project management tool. Dashboard. Assign tasks. Track project progress. Manage calenders.

Limited features available. Tasks only have one assignee.

Easy to use

No cons were added to this review

Project management and scheduling is easy and direct.

Not as many functions of scheduling as MS Project.

I am most impressed with the continued development and depth of capability. It works with our database :)

Shared users with lame access to tools in sheets.

Ability to share and keep track of notes

The layout and navigation of the dashboard

The fact it is online and shared among all users and the possibility of commenting on the tasks. You van use it instead of MS Project.

The iOS App could be a litlle more intuitive.

Great visual management features of project plans and schedules. Task tracking allows our project managers to make sure that everyone on the project team knows their specific tasks, when they're due, etc. We love the layout of the project plans, which allows for color coding and easily breaking down tasks within a larger project plan. Easily shareable with project members.

There is a lot to Smarsheets which can be intimidating to new users, and it's not the easiest to pick up with so many options for customization.

the nimbleness of Smartsheet is what is attractive to me - hard to find a offering that allows several workflow in a small business environment that checks all the boxes for a successful first line provider organization.

can get lost in wormholes on occasion but that is more related to education of the product

Ease of use. Looks similar to using a spreadsheet so it is similar to most people.

Sometimes it feels too much like a spreadsheet and can be mundane.
