Better user experience
Smartsheet makes it easy for any team to get started.
Smartsheet has a familiar, easy-to-use format, that you can customize to fit your needs. Dashboards, flexible views, and more support of a wide range of use cases.
Workfront has an unfamiliar user interface that is overly complex and clunky, creating unnecessary overhead and a poor user experience.
Flexibility to meet your needs
Flexible views so teams can work more effectively.
Smartsheet can manage all kinds of work across your organization, with many views including grid, Gantt, Kanban, and calendar. Smartsheet can replace multiple tools within your organization.
Workfront is structured and rigid.
Smartsheet met our needs for a platform that would serve the whole company, including support of BYOD and mobility for employees. We've also proven that you don't always need a large-scale project management system. A spreadsheet-based system becomes powerful because it is easy for employees to use.

Increased visibility
Surface key details and results to teams and executives with dashboards.
Smartsheet includes dynamic reports and customizable dashboards that roll up key project details and embed reports, videos, charts, presentations, and more -- to provide real-time visibility into all of your work and enable data-driven decision making.
Workfront dashboards are limited and inflexible.
It's been a tremendous help for me when I'm reporting to the executive team. I can easily show the task lists that demonstrate that the team has thought through every detail for each event. Plus anyone on the management team can drill down, and view documents at any time if they want to find out what we're doing.
