Replacing Smartsheets with Sharepoint Lists
Hi all, We are considering switching from Smartsheets to using Sharepoint Lists for same project mgmt. functionality. (Smartsheets is increasing our legacy pricing by 200%)... We currently use Of...
If you use Smartsheets for PM functionality, I would recommend instead looking at Project, Planner, or Azure DevOps depending on your requirements and the maturity of your PM organization.
DevOps is largely free (access to file repos require a Basic or VS license) and there are 3rd parties which extend DevOps for portfolio views into your projects. One example which I'm aware of but don't have direct experience with is https://ppm.express/ppm-for-azure-devops-vsts.

Trevor Seward thanks for the feedback. Are users really like the "spreadsheet" like nature of smartsheets and its ease of use. Planner is too basic and Project and DevOps are too complex for most of them... really just looking for a product that allows users to work in excel like worksheet, can easily add fields, share with others, but then also have gantt chart and dependencies between tasks. Project for the web might be a solution, but that too is still pretty feature limited... Sharepoint Lists seems to come the closest, but only available in the non-modern version, so may end up having to go with that.
thanks again- Clayce
