Comparison of select features offered by Smartsheet and Workfront
vs.
Flexibility to create project layouts that seamlessly fit into how your team works, without time-consuming setup. Intuitively designed resourcing schedule and real-time project reporting.
Ease of Use
Rigid project setup requirements make it difficult to quickly build out projects, so simple tasks and actions become unnecessarily difficult.
User-friendly format and dynamic configuration paired with familiar features, simple resource management, and one-click timesheets support a broad set of experiences.
User Experience
Unfamiliar user interface and layout, paired with a platform that is often described as having “too many features” creates a confusing new user experience.
Smartsheet reports and dashboards are fully customizable to roll up key information across projects, or act as a central team portal.
More insightful reporting
Workfront provides a high-level project view, but doesn’t offer the flexibility to create site-like portals or dashboards with customizable metrics.
An integrated platform with dozens of free, built-in connections, and external integration options with leading cloud storage, messaging and data apps, and more.
Integrated Network
Few native integration options, outside of a costly paid platform, Workfront Fusion, that is not included in a standard plan and is an additional expense.
Enable consistent work execution and reduced operational risk at scale with Smartsheet Control Center.
Scale with ease
Workfront does not offer the ability to centrally make changes across entire portfolios, programs, or processes.

Proven security
Smartsheet was built from the ground up with strict security requirements and protocols to secure your data, give you control of user access, and provide you with methods to safely share information inside and outside of your organization. Our world-class, multi-layer security includes continuous monitoring, physical security, data encryption, and user authentication.
Best-in-class admin controls
Smartsheet provides the security, user management, and single sign-on capabilities necessary to manage work teams of 100 or 100,000. Both administrators and end users can create granular sharing permissions to control and protect their information. Admins can approve external domains, restrict integrations, and manage to internal standards.
Connect and extend
Automate mission-critical data by using embedded integrations and partner-built solutions - or build your own with our open API. The extensible Smartsheet API makes it possible to build custom applications and deep integrations with REST-based APIs to connect line-of-business systems
Empower your business
With an intuitive UI, widget-driven dashboards, and configurable reports, organizations can customize their own workflows - without the need for technical support. Smartsheet empowers any user to build powerful work process automation with simple rules, and without complex formulas or a single line of code.
Once you use Smartsheet and you understand what it can do, it's amazing what the brain does. All of a sudden, you're coming up with ideas that you never had before because you were paralyzed by the fact that you didn't have a system. It's not just that you're developing these systems that are very transformational and drive productivity, but that you as an individual now open yourself up to think totally different. We're dreaming bigger than we ever have.
