We use it to manage construction jobs and track job costs and documents all in one place. And the platform could not be more affordable\! With other construction project management software, what you pay for one year of Smartsheet will get you maybe a week for those other platforms. If you wanted to use just the basic sheets or take advantage of their feature rich workspaces and templates, you can use Smartsheet to track projects, office operations and costs, and as a document center (we use it to track our subcontractors certificates of insurance expirations dates), Smartsheet is definitely invaluable to us as a central project and operations management system that we can all access anywhere. > > **Cons**: Smartsheet cannot completely manage a project, meaning you will have to incorporate other tools (like budgeting software) to fully monitor and analyze the profitability of a project. Smartsheet keeps the raw data in one place, but does not help to analyze and make sense of it. > > Smartsheet is a perfect place for small businesses to start with and to help them grow to the next level project management software. ----- ### "More than a project management tool" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *05 June 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Highly versatile and scalable Smartsheet supports a wide range of use cases, from workflow automation and reporting to governance, compliance, project management, and client-facing solutions. It scales effectively from individual teams to enterprise-wide deployments. 2. Strong business value and user adoption The platform is intuitive for business users, reducing reliance on technical teams while improving visibility, collaboration, operational efficiency, and decision-making. > > **Cons**: 1. Administration can become complex at scale As deployments grow, managing permissions, WorkApps, governance standards, and platform architecture requires dedicated ownership and strong administration practices. 2. Some enterprise features lack maturity Certain capabilities, such as WorkApps administration, group-based sharing, form draft saving, and large-scale governance controls, could be further developed to better support enterprise-scale environments. > > Smartsheet is more than a project management tool; it is a scalable business operations platform. It supports governance, compliance, reporting, workflow automation, and client-facing services, helping approximately 1,000 employees work more efficiently while enabling innovation, operational excellence, and recurring revenue generation. ----- ### "Excel online" — 2.0/5 > **Adam** | *08 May 2026* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great online version of excel functionality with some portfolio type features. Easy for multipler users to collaborate > > **Cons**: Functionality from a portfolio perspective feels very basic, feels like excel online with limited reporting capability. > > Neutral - good for a project manager but not great for portfolio management or PMO type organisations. ----- ### "Flexible but Complex Project Management Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Nikole** | *01 May 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Smartsheet is its flexibility and customization. It works like a spreadsheet but can be built into powerful workflows, dashboards, and reporting tools. It’s great for automating processes, tracking projects, and keeping teams aligned in one platform. > > **Cons**: The biggest downside of Smartsheet is that it can feel complex and not very intuitive, especially when building advanced workflows or dashboards. It also has a steep learning curve and some features are locked behind higher pricing tiers. > > Overall, Smartsheet has been a powerful tool for project and workflow management. It’s highly flexible and great for organizing complex processes, tracking tasks, and building reporting dashboards. However, it does take time to learn and set up properly, especially for more advanced automation and customization. ----- ### "Very glad this tool doesn’t let timelines fall apart" — 5.0/5 > **Saul** | *16 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the drag and drop for the most part, and it did not freeze when I rearranged the tasks. The dependencies automatically update (which was nice, as I had one spreadsheet that completely fell apart) and it did not crash when I loaded in my files; which was really great. > > **Cons**: During exporting my final PDF (to send to my sponsor), the font sizes would get distorted and you could not even modify the text format in the preview screen. This is ridiculous. > > This tool helps a lot with the 'moving target' issues that occur with people being late to deliver their components. I am able to avoid having to constantly recalculate dates by hand (thankfully). I am finally able to track which portion(s) of the project are truly burning down through the use of the "critical path." With smartsheet, I will be able to determine when our team is over-extended to prevent us from missing another deadline. ----- Page: 1 / 142\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/79104/smartsheet?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/79104/smartsheet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
