AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Smartsheet excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to 5:00 PM. Users appreciate its blend of spreadsheet simplicity with robust project management features, allowing for customizable workflows and real-time collaboration.
- Users say that Smartsheet's extensive range of tools enhances daily productivity, with many highlighting its ability to automate repetitive tasks and create clear dashboards for better visibility. In contrast, while 5:00 PM offers a collaborative environment, it lacks the depth of features that some users find in Smartsheet.
- Reviewers mention that Smartsheet's implementation process is quick and intuitive, making it easy for teams to get started. This is a notable advantage over 5:00 PM, where users have expressed a desire for more comprehensive onboarding support despite its user-friendly interface.
- According to verified reviews, Smartsheet's quality of support is highly rated, with users feeling well-supported throughout their experience. On the other hand, while 5:00 PM also receives positive feedback for its support, it doesn't match the volume of reviews that Smartsheet garners, which may indicate less consistent user experiences.
- Users highlight that Smartsheet's ease of use is a strong point, with many finding it straightforward to navigate and utilize its features effectively. In comparison, 5:00 PM is praised for its simplicity, but some users feel it may not offer the same level of functionality for complex project management needs.
- Reviewers appreciate that Smartsheet provides a comprehensive solution for mid-market companies, with a significant portion of its user base coming from this segment. While 5:00 PM also targets mid-market users, its limited number of reviews suggests it may not be as widely adopted or trusted in the same way as Smartsheet.
