Pros

Cons

“It’s Not a Real Database:** Even though it has database features, at the end of the day, it's still restricted by row limits. If you're trying to track a massive amount of data over a long period, it starts to lag, and you run into caps that force you to archive your older work.”

HUMAN RELATIONS

“What I like least about Smartsheet is that it can honestly feel like a bit much when you just need something quick and straightforward. Because it tries to be a spreadsheet, a database, and an automation tool all at once, it comes with a few frustrating pain points:”

HUMAN RELATIONS

“There were also a few frustrating limitations where the familiar layout made certain actions seem like they should be simple, but copying and reusing projects, formulas, formatting, or dependencies could be more cumbersome than expected.”
