Smartsheet is the right choice for spreadsheet-native organizations that need project management without changing how they think. If your team lives in Excel, Smartsheet is the path of least resistance. For everyone else, the grid-first approach feels limiting compared to modern visual tools.
What's great
- Familiar spreadsheet interface minimizes learning curve for Excel users
- Strong automation and cross-sheet formula capabilities
- Excellent for operations and PMO workflows
Watch out for
- Spreadsheet paradigm limits visual project management options
- No free tier — trial is the only way to evaluate
- Business plan at $32/user/mo is expensive
