What we've heard from current Smartsheet users...
"With Smartsheet, we have to do everything manually which is very cumbersome and time-consuming. There's no organization and things fall through the cracks."
"Smartsheet lacks portfolio management, which is problematic due to the sheer volume of projects our company has going at any given time. It lacks in-depth reporting options, and it's just a holdover until the we find something more suited to our needs."
"Smartsheet doesn't have resource management. We have to use two different systems, which is cumbersome and also means that we can't see resource constraints and our schedule is always disconnected and inaccurate."
"Smartsheet is hard to set up and easy to break."
"Smartsheet is great for basic project management, but it lacks a strategic planning component, and it doesn't have a way for users to view their entire project portfolio."
"We're currently using Smartsheet but we need a platform that can support large-scale projects, is very intuitive, and can build more substantial oversights."

The top 4 reasons Moovila is superior to Smartsheet
Moovila offers Gantt charts, Kanban boards and additional project views, but most users find our Critical Path (AKA network/PERT diagram) to be the most unique and insightful.
#1: Unrivaled work visualizations
View and manage your projects like never before with Moovila's Critical Path Engine. Much more than just a network diagram; this view clearly and automatically shows the project's critical path, highlights delayed tasks, and displays the cascading impacts of delays throughout the project.
Our math-driven engine ensures that your project plans are structurally sound and accurate, while a drag-n-drop task dependency builder makes managing projects intuitive for users of all experience levels.
If you're tired of searching for answers, then you need Moovila's Critical Path Engine.
Smartsheet does not have a network diagram, forcing you to rely on outdated project visualizations that don't quickly surface the information you need. You can configure their Gantt chart to show dependencies and the critical path, but this visualization isn't nearly as clear as Moovila's Critical Path Engine.
#2: Automated alerts for project risks
including capacity conflicts, delayed milestones and much more!
Our AI-driven project automation engine, RPAX continuously scans your project plans for risks such as delayed milestones, inaccurate dates, and capacity conflicts, and helps you quickly resolve them. That means no more chasing updates and configuring custom panels—and, far fewer surprises!
RPAX's helpful features include project health scoring, a diagnostics panel and an AI-powered project coach that's always there to walk you through any project issues in the correct order according to PM best practices, along with real-time micro-learning.
With Moovila, whether you have a late milestone due to inaccurate or missing time estimates or you've overburdened resources across projects, the issues will automatically be surfaced to you, along with next steps on how to fix them.
If preventing problems is important to you, then you need Moovila's RPAX.
Smartsheet does not have automated risk detection and monitoring features. While you can create a status column for projects or tasks, it requires manual updates. This manual process is subjective and lacks uniform governance.
Easy import, smooth transition.
Already using Smartsheet? You can easily import Smartsheet projects into Moovila to make switching platforms a breeze.
#3: Portfolio insight, right out of the box
Understand your entire portfolio in a blink and eliminate the need to hire technical resources to program formulas or reconfigure your data. Simply build or import your projects into Moovila, and our portfolio views will automatically present the information to you. (You can customize dashboards and reports to suit your needs, as well.)
Even more, Moovila gives you data you can trust. Our dashboards are built from the bottom up to aggregate granular data from tasks, dependencies and time entries, instead of simple lists and percentage-based allocation estimates to give you the most accurate picture of your work ecosystem possible. And, it's all continuously updated in real time.
If you want a better way to analyze and manage your project portfolio, you need Moovila Perfect Project.
Smartsheet requires a lot of manual configuration to build dashboards and get insightful data from the top level of your portfolio of projects.
#4: Native, Custom-Built PSA Integrations
Moovila seamlessly integrates with Professional Services Automation platforms such as ConnectWise PSA and HaloPSA so you can marry the power of Moovila's project portfolio and resource management capabilities with your current system.
Our native, bi-directional integrations allow teams to edit and work in both platforms with real-time data synchronization (no duplicate entry or switching between platforms for answers). So project contributors can easily track their time and project managers can allocate resources based on accurate capacity forecasts built from detailed project data.
Best of all, Moovila leverages this powerful data to deliver financial performance insights, giving your organization the key metrics you need for success.
If you're looking for more project power in your PSA, check out our integrations.
Smartsheet does not integrate with any PSA platforms. While they have some PSA features built-in, the system requires extensive customization to set up to your organization's needs.
