Replacing Smartsheets with MS Project for the Web
Hi all,
We are considering switching from Smartsheets to using Project for the Web for same project mgmt. functionality. (Smartsheets is increasing our legacy pricing by 200%)... We currently use Office 365 and everyone has Project for the Web. Has anyone done this? Any pointers? Would Project for the Web offer close to the same functionality as Smartsheets?
Anyone who has any thoughts or suggests , I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks - Clayce
Hello crodamer ,
Regarding the Project for the web entities / tables, these will be in the Default CDS environment - have you looked there?

Hello crodamer ,
I've not got hands on experience with SmartSheet but my advice would be to run proof of concept for Project for the web. As everyone has Project for the web and you use Office 365, it certainly seems like a good choice. Don't forget that Project for the web capability can easily be extended using the Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate etc.). Here is some info on Project for the web features: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/project-online-service-description/project-online-service-description#project-for-the-web-features

Paul_Mather Thanks Paul. Appreciate the info.
I am getting a meeting setup with some MS folks to get more info.
One interesting thing I have found is that because we use the Project Service Automation (PSA) module in Dynamics 365 CE, I can't find the "normal" entities for Project for the Web in CDS... strange...
