In the construction industry, SmartSuite's robust project management capabilities, including Gantt charts (new in 2024) and real-time collaboration, are invaluable. Its ability to handle complex workflows with ease, while offering customizable templates tailored to construction projects, enhances productivity significantly. SmartSuite streamlines complex construction project management by integrating multiple functions into one platform. This enhances team collaboration, improves resource allocation, and provides critical insights into project progress, resulting in better project efficiency and timely completion.
While there's nothing specific I dislike, there is room for enhancement in certain features. For instance, integrating more advanced functions into the Outlook calendar. For SmartDoc, akin to Notion's capability to embed multimedia content like YouTube videos, would add value.
SmartSuite adeptly addresses the complexities inherent in managing large-scale construction projects. It consolidates various project management aspects, enhancing collaboration, efficiency in task management, and offering real-time insights, which significantly contribute to the streamlined execution and success of projects.
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!
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.
SmartSuite has come out of the gate so incredibly strong and is already going head-to-head with other players in this space. The difference is that other players have been doing this for years, and SmartSuite is just getting started! I love SmartSuite because it is an easy-to-use (and low-cost) platform with a modern look, powerful features, and the ability to integrate in numerous ways. From basic tracking of (literally) anything to advanced workflows using formulas and automations, there is a "Suite" spot where every user will find value! The platform is easy to learn, and they have so many ways for me to do so. With help articles, videos, live chat, office hours, showcase videos, etc. (the list goes on and on), I have no problem figuring out how to do something new or make something work the way I would like. Technology aside for a moment, my absolute favorite thing about SmartSuite is the team behind it that is passionate about helping others, which drives them to continuously improve an already great product. The future is very, very bright for SmartSuite! Lastly, I will say this... if you have spreadsheets, you need SmartSuite. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
With rapid expansion and enhancements for new software, bugs are not uncommon, and SmartSuite has experienced some of that. Though I will say that anything I have come across has been minor and addressed quickly, which is critical to me. I don't think I've ever used (or built) software without any issues, so the support I get is essential.
In my hectic day-to-day, SmartSuite has helped me keep my important tasks top-of-mind, allowed me to easily communicate with my team without having to go to multiple tools, and just keeps track of me and my work in general! With the gained efficiency, I can focus more time on completing the work that needs to be done instead of trying to keep track of it!
It's super intuitive. Whether you are an enterprise or just a one-person company, you'll have it rolling smoothly. The feature set is well thought out, organized, and structured. You have all you need to run various types of businesses and workflows. Let me stress this one more time – compared to any competitor product on the market, SmartSuite will blow your mind away with how easy and self-explanatory things are. You won't waste time on "learning the system", but instead, you can jump in and start building. Not to mention that pricing policy, which is the most attractive on the market right now. You can easily check it out by comparing offers from other vendors.
Nothing comes to mind. The product is fresh on the market, so I'm looking forward to exploring the "coming soon" features.
SmartSuite allows us to manage the entire business flow within the company. We have stopped using email, jira, google sheets. All these got replaced with a single platform.
