SmartSuit is very flexible; you can have tasks in different solutions but see all of them in one place. It makes the process faster and more efficient.

Automations have some limitations but as I know it will be changed soon.

Communication, task managment, access to the infornmation

Signing up for SmartSuite has been the BEST decision I've made for my business this past year. Their work managment platform allows you to create solutions specific to "how you work," instead of forcing you to restructure what you do in order to use their SaaS. I constantly feel like I created my very own custom app for my biz that is super user-friendly and has 10xed my productivity. You can literally have your first solution up an running in no time, compared to other tools like ClickUp, Asana, or Monday that have a larger learning curve and used to cause me major overwhelm. And if what I just said hasn't sold you on this tool, then experiencing their customer support will -- they don't just give you generic responses, but actually provide you with ways in which you can implement what you're wanting to accomplish. PLUS, SmartSuite has built a stellar community around their SaaS, and constantly roll out new features that their consumers actually want. SmartSuite is hand-down, one of the best tools on the market. I could go on and on about their grandular permissioning structure, linked records feature, or even their dot notation capabilities when it comes to formulas, but this is just one of those tools that seeing is believing for most so I highly recommend giving it a test run for yourself.

I have no downsides to using this tool -- I absoultely LOVE IT!

Utilizing SmartSuite allowed me to have one main source of truth in my business. It allowed me to cut down my monthly operating expenses by creating different solutions that replaced the many other tools I had to piece together to do the same thing.

Spent the weekend creating a way for our team here to manage and track the complicated relationships we have with all the manufacturers, brands, product categories, discount structures, special programs, sales reps, and rep groups that we work with. There was nothing that SmartSuite couldn't handle, and it did so with aplomb! The end result is GORGEOUS (all of SmartSuite is beautiful!) which is so important to end user initial impression and adoption, but under the covers, this thing is a beast of functionality (and it's FAST!). While I was working, I was just marveling at the technological underpinning while enjoying the polished user experience. Serious KUDOS to the entire SmartSuite team. I haven't enjoyed using something this much in a long, long time.

They are still on the growth curve which is a double edged sword. They are absolutely listening to user input, they are 100% available and accessible, they sincerely want to understand and help, but not everything is "enterprise grade ready". They will be there soon though. Very soon.

Moved our CRM solution here first. Then fleet management. Then asset management. Then vendor discount management. Then purchase order and receiving. Then (I could but won't list the 10 other solutions we've put here). There is nothing we've tried in SmartSuite we haven't been able to accomplish.

The support that the admin gives to the community. They are a real company that hears the needs of their users, and it's a rare thing! Now I use Smarthings every day. There are a lot of features and I implement all my work there! Automation are a cool feature that allow me to be more productive in every day.

Isn't EU-server hosted at the moment but I'm sure that they are working on it.

SmartSuite allows me to manage my agency work and my associate's work. It's so cool and that allows me to have an agile workflow. Other tools allow me to reach that but they are too expensive, instead, Smartsuite is user-focused and allows me to reach my goals at the right price without addons on addons to buy, and I love that!

Support is outstanding, Interface, features, and functionality dwarfs it competition. Highly regarded and accessible senior management.

Not multi-tenant, but I woul imagine that it's in the roadmap.

Allows business units to quickly develop their own solution. Business processes are quickly automated without expensive analyst and programmer resources.

Powerful, versatile, and easy to build and customize your solution tailored to your business. Beautiful layouts that are simple enough for our team to learn. Also, their team is incredibly responsive.

Although they are working on a report generator, it still is the weakest part of an otherwise powerful chain.

CRM, process management, inventory management, and task management.

I was a long-term user of Clickup, but I made the decision to switch to SmartSuite, and I'm glad I did. What really impressed me was the overall feature set. SmartSuite's handling of linked records, filters/sorting, custom record layouts, and Airtable-style user interface perfectly aligned with my workflow needs. It not only caters to simple workflows but also offers deep advanced formulas, powerful built-in automations, and useful/clean styling options. The support team has been exceptional, providing me with valuable advice on features I didn't even know existed in the app.

To be honest, I don't have many dislikes. SmartSuite is still a relatively young platform compared to its competitors, but it's rapidly growing and introducing unique ideas that others haven't explored yet. While it doesn't have as many integrations with third-party apps as some other platforms, I believe that will come with time as they expand.

SmartSuite saves countly hours for me by seamlessly combining the workflows I had within Clickup and Airtable. This integration of functionalities not only streamlines my work but also introduces unique new features that directly enhance my productivity level. The ability to create relationships across my workspace, use multiple smartdocs within one record, and leverage lookup filtering are just a few examples of the amazing features. These capabilities have significantly benefited me by saving time and allowing me to accomplish tasks more efficiently.

Smartsuite is an excellent & user friendly tool that helps organize our business/goals from top to bottom.

Limited downsides, but working through a few small obstacles with their very responsive staff.

Smartsuite helps manage our backend SOPs and organizes our sales efforts through task management and automation.

The Main Thing I liked About SmartSuite Is That It Has A Lot Of Solution Templates For Almost Every Industry Which Makes It Very Easy For New Users To Understand The Process & Boost Their Productivity.

There Is Nothing That I Dislike About SmartSuite.

It Helps Us To Manage Our Projects More Efficiently, Including Better & Faster Communication Between Team Members.

I started out on my relational database journey using Airtable (naturally), but realized that I wanted to be able to easily link by "bases". SmartSuite is perfect!

It's still a relatively "young" platform, so there's no front-end solution yet. This is in the works, though....so pretty soon I won't have anything to complain about.

I've created a ticketing system for marketing tasks, so my sales team is able to fill out a simple Work Order form and my marketing team's tasks are able to move along a continuum of "Requested" to "Completed". Automations give updates regarding when work is started, ready for review, and completed.

It is a creative combination of Airtable, Evernote, Notion, Clickup, Monday, Trello, and it has some Christmas Sprinkles thrown in for Good Measure.

The downside is that you have to work on it every day and master it, which is not a dislike, but one of the ingredients to achieve success in any short-term goal. Notice learning this app is a short-term goal, not getting a PhD to learn other apps in the marketplace.

SmartSuite is forcing me to use a proven system (PROCESS) for me to SOLVE my Online Business Problems, Issues, and Hiccups.

Project management and organizational databases are typically crowded and uninviting. This software is a pleasure to look at and desirable to work with. The last thing you want is to wake up in the morning to look at an "angry" and busy screen. I use it more every day that passes by.

It is a new software with many integrations on the roadmap but not yet fully functional.

Organization. quickly finding where my stuff is and what needs to get done. I am automating 5 Hydrology and Hydraulic reports a month. I used to struggle to get one done before.

Here are a few of my favorite things (cue Julie Andrews): 1. SmartSuite allows you to design attracted "expanded view" forms for the records in a table. This largely obviates need to build custom interfaces. 2. SmartSuite lets you link records not just in different tables, but in different solutions. Brilliant. 3. SmartSuite gives me as developer really good control over access privileges for different users, groups of users, and so on. 4. SmartSuite is beautiful!

SmartSuite is still quite young (less than a year old in public release) and not quite "all there" yet. My main complaints are: 1. The library of formula functions is too limited and needs to expand. Needed especially: better functions for dealing with text and dates, and for coercing data types. 2. Forms need conditional branching.

I'm a solutions developer who works for small-to-medium sized clients, mostly law firms doing litigation. I build solutions that help my clients track their clients and all the data involved in mass tort litigation. I'm working on another project that's a bit different: a student and enrollment management solution for a small school. In the past I have worked with bigger, arguably more powerful platforms (mainly Claris FileMaker), but with SmartSuite I can achieve very good results for my own clients in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost. SmartSuite's low-code approach means I have less busy work to do to achieve solid results.
