About Smartsheet
Smartsheet is a work management platform that looks like a spreadsheet. It is aimed at larger organisations that run many projects and need oversight across them.
What it does
Work is planned in a grid of rows and columns, with dates, owners and status for each item. Teams can build dashboards and portfolio views across projects, and connect the sheet to other systems their teams already use. Admin controls and permissions help keep data governed, so the people who need access get it and nobody else does.
Key features
- Plan projects in a spreadsheet-style grid
- Build project portfolios and reports
- Connect plans to other apps your teams use
- Set access permissions for sensitive work
- Track progress across many projects
Who it's for
Project management offices, IT and operations teams, and client delivery teams in large companies. Smaller teams may find the grid style easy to start with, although the feature set is aimed at bigger groups.
Pricing and good to know
A free trial is offered on the vendor site, and paid plans follow. The company describes its platform as enterprise grade and lists security measures for customer data. Check the pricing page for plan details, since enterprise setups are often quoted separately.
