    Considered Both Products
    Smartsheet
    Chose Smartsheet
    The dynamic nature of SmartSheet can do the same things as the other tools I've used (Trello, Asana, Basecamp, etc.), but you are not locked into a single methodology or format. You have the flexibility to create the type of project tracking tool that works best for your …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Ultimately, Smartsheet was a middle ground between Jama (cumbersome and not very user friendly) and Trello (simple, pretty, easy to use, but less functionality). Smartsheet could be used successfully in more scenarios. Also, it has a card-view that looks like Trello anyways, …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Trello is great for the visual person, but it doesn't have the simple spreadsheet capacity that Smartsheet has. If you are proficient in Excel, you don't need much training to use Smartsheet, whereas, Trello is a whole different environment.

    Chose Smartsheet
    All the products seemed to perform the project and task management function adequately. The following factors were the keys to our selection:
    1. Ease of use - so similar to Excel everyone can figure it out.
    2. Flexible architecture lends itself to many different use cases beyond …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet is a unique data and project management collaboration tool that sets itself apart from its competitors. Teams have the ability to create extremely customized dashboards that have data flowing to and from multiple worksheets and workspaces. Smartsheet has the ability …

    Chose Smartsheet
    I liked Smartsheet for the ease of use and simplicity. Having a view in Gantt chart is great and very helpful. Being able to invite multiple people and have everyone collaborate was useful. It made my life as a manager of projects much much easier and saved me a lot of time …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheets has more PM features than Asana, whereas Asana seems to be better for a roadmap or higher level planning. MS Project is similar to Smartsheets, however less user friendly in my opinion

    Chose Smartsheet
    Smartsheet is very robust, and allows much more customization. It is not as user friendly, and takes more time to understand and get used to. Smartsheet integrates with just about all of these other tools. One of the best things about Smartsheet is that it can integrate with …

    Chose Smartsheet
    Which software we use for project management is often determined by the team we interact with or the client's choices. I prefer Smartsheet for process management due to the ease of setting up alerts and attaching necessary documentation. It was also fairly easy to set up and …

    Chose Smartsheet
    It matches other platforms when it comes to overall project management needs. Permissioning and ways that you can limit access help, but its flexibility when it comes to using different types of overall project management really put it over the top. Being able to not use a …

    Chose Trello
    For our purposes and my role in the business, Trello is simpler and easier to use. I found Jira very hard to navigate to individual projects, and the process of creating a card was very time-consuming. That said, I think Jira performs a number of roles that Trello doesn't, and …

    Chose Trello
    Todoist is a good to-do list app but I found it a bit more confusing to use than Trello because it feels like it does too much. Wunderlist was great until Microsoft bought it and stopped providing support. I used it before I switched to Trello and it would easily compete with …

    Chose Trello
    I find Trello to be more visual than other products. As mentioned, the graphics are better visually and easier to use. It was the easiest to learn and get started with. Five stars! I learned it because some teams and clients used it previously.

    Very similar layout to Trello, but without the same amount of customization.

    Chose Trello
    Both are great for details and reporting... Trello is just easy to use and GETS USED, which is a huge advantage for buy-in from our teams. When you are a slave to data, that is a choice that costs time and effort. Trello keeps that from happening and is fun to use.
