Smartsheet: Project Planning Reinvented
It is very flexible, enabling one to have a personalized order of work and flow, which may suit a certain design project.
Pros
With Smartsheet, you can easily create and manage projects, track progress, and collaborate with team members in real-time. One of the most powerful features of Smartsheet is its critical path highlighting feature. It makes it much easier for you to notice any issues early and try to sort them out. Smartsheet is an online tool, so clients, you, and your team members can use Smartsheet from any location and at any time.
Cons
Unfortunately, in Gantt chart view, there are limited possibilities to customize the task dependencies. Availability features of allocating various resources do not incorporate part-time availability well enough.

Fast & efficient. Competitively priced.
We implemented smartsheet almost 2 years ago & haven't found any reason to change to any other project management software. I recommend smartsheet to my colleges because it's reasonably priced, faster & more efficient then thee software we were using prior to Smartsheet.
Pros
Switching to this project management software was simply painless! Easily coverts workflow request forms & workflow audimations. Best feature was probably the free trial. By the time our free trial ended we had really become familiar with the software & had really started to depend on it. So purchasing the software was a no-brainer.
Cons
The thing that I am most concerned about is the lack of security built into this software. I also found that after signing up for the free trial I received a lot of spam emails from smartsheet. I didn't want to block them because I was very interested in purchasing the product.

Not the best option for project management
I honestly wouldn't recommend it from my experience (sorry!) for use with a team. The pro plan might offer more features but I'm not aware exactly how much better it would be. It might be useful if you need a simple free option for managing your own tasks but for project management with other team members and departments it's not the one.
Pros
It had basic project management tools that allowed different team members to provide updates on tasks.
Cons
It has so much less functionality that other project management tools such as Asana or Trello. It's worth mentioning our team was using the free plan with only the manager on the basic plan. But there are other free software out there that do a much better job.

Best PM Tool Available
I used this a few years ago as a PM and I wish that I could have it at my current role. I have used many different tools, some good and some awful, but if I had 1 choice, it would be Smartsheets.
Pros
This is the best tool I have used as a Project Manager. There are so many features that I could write about, but most importantly you will not need additional tools/software to track projects. The ability to track a project, update timelimes based on missed deadlines, share with a customer and have a live document is so important for a successful project.
Cons
It is expensive. There is also a learning curve. I would say for beginner level use and just navigating around, it is very user friendly. But like Excel, there are so many things it is capable of and it takes time to figure them out.

Simple project management software suitable for beginners
Easy to use and helps to keep track of projects and plan. Enabled me to get the team using a central project management facility.
Pros
Ease of use. My direct colleagues are not IT-savvy, do not come from project management or analytical backgrounds. Some can't even use Excel. Smartsheet is simple to use and I have been able to create help and tutorial videos that have enabled both them and other users across the organization to get started with the software.
Cons
I would like it to have more simple views like Trello as this would enable me to "sell" it more easily to those who are not used to computer-based work.
