Features that enticed teams to switch from Smartsheet
Gantt chart
Portfolio management
Resource managementGantt 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
