Features that enticed teams to switch from Smartsheet

Gantt chart

Smartsheet doesn’t offer a true Gantt chart, one of the quintessential tools for project and portfolio managers. ProjectManager’s Gantt chart is award-winning and one of the best in the industry.

  • Compare actual vs. planned effort with project baselines
  • Import and export Microsoft Project, Excel and CSV files
  • View and edit task information, links, people and dependencies

Portfolio management

If portfolio managers need to track and oversee progress on multiple projects or leverage dashboards, they’ll have to endure a cumbersome process on Smartsheet. ProjectManager’s portfolio management features are included and data automatically populates across the software.

  • Immediately leverage portfolio management features, no coding required
  • Filter portfolio dashboards by group
  • Download portfolio-related data to share with management and stakeholders

Resource management

Tracking resources, including timesheets, in Smartsheet requires expensive add-ons that aren’t included in any of their priced plans. With ProjectManager, users get access to turnkey resource management features that directly integrate with projects.

  • Set hourly rates and track time with secure timesheets
  • Drag-and-drop editing to adjust resource schedules in real time
  • Monitor resource allocation and catch bottlenecks with dashboards
