Smartsheet: who it fits and who it does not
- Good for
- Operations, marketing and PMO teams managing complex cross-functional projects
- Mid-sized and enterprise companies (construction, healthcare, IT)
- Spreadsheet-comfortable teams needing more automation and control
- Not for
- Freelancers, very small teams and early-stage startups
- Sales teams (CRM work feels clunky)
- Teams wanting plug-and-play simplicity
- The catch
- Spreadsheet-style work management made for larger companies, but setup isn't intuitive and advanced automation and reports take time to learn.
