 Pros

 What we like about Smartsheet and Teamwork:

**Automation:** Reviewers appreciated the no-code automation and said that it helps to eliminate productivity killers and saves time. 

**Collaboration:** Users liked the sharing option with level-based permissions that allow collaboration with non-users and help coworkers and external stakeholders stay up-to-date on projects and processes. 

**Ease of Use:** A user-friendly interface and templates make it easy to set up, customize and access multiple views, according to reviewers. 

**Customization:** “We can customize it to fit various projects, whether we’re tracking client cases, managing document revisions, or planning team tasks. For instance, I created a project tracker for a major client contract negotiation. The ability to set deadlines, assign tasks, and update statuses in real time has streamlined our communication and kept everyone on the same page.” - Russ Johnson, Founder of Linx Legal

**Templates:** Users like how the templates cut down on set up times. 

**Collaborative:** Tabs to add messages, notes, links and comments, and real-time updates are a plus for reviewers. 

**Time-Tracking:** Users appreciate Teamwork’s built-in time tracker that helps eliminate manual errors. 

**Functionality:** Access to a wide range of capabilities all in one place is a major perk for users. 

 Cons

 What we dislike about Smartsheet and Teamwork:

**System Integration:** Limited integrations and complex configurations were an issue for reviewers. 

**Premium Add-Ons:** Reviewers noted that advanced features come with a price tag that can be prohibitive for some businesses. 

**Slow Loading Time:** Users reported it takes time to display screens and export formats occasionally.

**Integration:** “Despite its many benefits, integrating Smartsheet with other systems posed some challenges. Initially, we experienced issues with data syncing between Smartsheet and our CRM software, leading to discrepancies in our financial reporting. Recognizing this, I allocated specific time for thorough testing before our full implementation, allowing us to identify and resolve any integration issues early on.” - Austin Rulfs, Founder of Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers

**Offline Access:** Users note the lack of offline access is a problem when there is limited internet connectivity. 

**Bugs and Glitches:** Reviewers say there can be bugs with reporting and auto-logouts. 

**Task Dependencies:** “Our campaign rolled out design approvals before social media assets could be produced. Dependencies didn't always move right instead of gently adjusting when one piece ran late. It left us manually moving deadlines, which is a pain when you have a tight calendar.”- Jay Barton, CEO of ASRV 

**Recurring Tasks:** “I wanted the system to automatically push out the next maintenance date based on the completion of the previous one, but the date dependencies were not as straightforward as I had hoped. I had to jump through a few hoops with custom fields and rules to get it working just right.” - Matt Little, Founder and Managing Director of Festoon House 

###  Our Review

 Spreadsheets make for a fantastic starter pack if you’re not quite ready to dive into the wonderful world of project management. And if you don’t mind testing the waters with the best of both worlds, Smartsheet might be right up your alley. During my free trial I wanted to answer one question: does Smartsheet really live up to its name?Smartsheet started off strong with a helpful checklist with best practices to start you on the right path. I also loved the handy explainer videos to set me back on the straight and narrow whenever I got a little confused. The flexibility to build your own sheets from scratch or use modified templates was another win on the setup front.I think one of my favorite things about Smartsheet — something that puts it far above any spreadsheet in my book — is the ability to add dynamic views to your projects and filter and customize views to meet task requirements. I put all my data in using the grid view, then added a card view organized by status, and then a Kanban Board sorted by task assignee. Sounds complicated maybe, but it actually made everything so much more organized and easy to parse.Want to stay on the same page (literally) with proofs? Smartsheet excels (yep, that’s a pun) there too.Collaborate on team documents, provide context, and add proofs and files to individual tasks or the entire sheet. I set a piece of content as a task and it was really easy to add a pin to address a specific point, highlight a problem using box annotations or use a literal arrow to point to what I wanted changed with the Comment with an arrow option. Bonus points for the ability to add extra files like logos and docs, and share sheets with external users.The no-code automations were another gamechanger for a technically challenged user like me. You can choose from four different cell triggers, or pay a visit to the template library and fiddle around with custom inserts. Like me, reviewers also appreciated this feature and its incredible time-saving capacity.However, during my trial, I did experience slower loading times, especially with larger spreadsheets — a grievance I noticed other users called out. Maybe it was my browser, maybe it was my laptop, but maybe it was Smartsheet. I will say, it's an acceptable trade-off for not having to memorize a bunch of formulas and stick to rigid views like some other programs make you do (if you know, you know).Overall, I’d say Smartsheet is a great option for teams familiar with spreadsheets but who are on the lookout for more visualization, automation and collaboration, along with the budget to spend on advanced features.

 I walked into this software test with only one question on my mind — “Does Teamwork really make the dream work?”As soon as I hit the onboarding screen, I was charmed by the helpful intro videos that walk you through the setup and how to add your first tasks and project. This would be the start of my codependent relationship with their demo videos (it’s tough to build structures and customizations all by yourself).If you need help — for example, with adding custom fields in the list view — you can use pop-up tabs with instructions. Bonus: you don’t have to go to a separate hidden screen to make all the setup changes.Although the demo video advertised workflow management in the board view, it only applies to in-built templates from the library. I had to pay a visit to the Settings tab to add and modify the workflow I built from scratch, but I loved how easy it is to add and apply workflows. (Note: there is a three-workflow limit for this plan, so users with more workflows may need to upgrade.)Another thing that excited me was the templatization of Teamwork. You can build project templates, workflow templates and task templates. Project templates are right next to your project lists. I liked that you can pull from Teamwork templates and then modify them, create your own from scratch (like I did for my content project) or apply templates you’ve created from scratch.It’s super easy to create a task template with custom fields you’ve already saved or new ones you can add right there, along with dependencies, privacy settings and descriptions. You can also add email reminders for due dates without creating an automation for it (fantastic, I know).I loved how customizations and templates are organized in the Settings tab — you can easily switch through each tab to see all your templates, workflows, custom fields, forms and integrations.They had a demo for automation creation, but it was simple enough to figure out. The templates were all quite handy. I modified the template for stage changes using the SelectHub workflow I created earlier to add an assignee and comment when a task moves to the edit queue. It worked swimmingly.Just a heads up, the automations tab automatically filters for the project you were working on. So if you want to find an automation from a project with a different workflow, just clear all filters.Proofing is a new feature, so, of course, I had to check it out! It’s incredibly easy to create a proof, link it to a task (where it automatically creates a proofs tab), and add approval or review permissions. 10/10 would recommend for creative teams.User reviews were on the same page as me about simplifying repetitive tasks with workflow automation, centralization, and the easy-to-use pre-built blocks and templates. However, they also felt the learning curve could be a bit steep and disliked the lack of offline access.So, does Teamwork really make the dream work? Yes, especially for teams with multiple complex projects and PPM requirements, and if you can afford the paid plans (with add-ons) and have the IT resources to manage structure and setup.
