Why teams are looking for Smartsheet alternatives

Many teams choose to switch to Smartsheet substitutes due to its limited features and other disadvantages. Here are the top reasons teams change their project management software:

  • Smartsheet’s spreadsheet-like interface can be unintuitive for non-technical users or teams unfamiliar with Excel-style workflows. This lacks many necessary project management features for large, complex projects.
  • While Smartsheet starts at a moderate price, key features like time tracking, resource management, and customizable dashboards are often only available in higher-tier plans or with add-ons.
  • Expense and budget tracking features are also limited without customization or additional tools.
  • Lack of customer support means users encountering system issues are left stranded.
