How to choose

How to choose a Smartsheet alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Check whether charges follow paid seats, usage or another measure. Smartsheet Business lists a per-member rate, with a minimum of three paid members and free guests and contributors under its plan rules. Compare that structure with a version that has no per-seat plan.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Ask where your work records live and who controls the database. With a database you own, your records are yours to manage. Also decide who will look after hosting, access and retention reviews.

  3. 3

    Fit with your working rules

    List the fields, views, reminders and access rules your team actually uses. A replacement should fit those working practices, rather than making you reshape every process around standard screens. Agree what is included before the build, including any connections your team needs.

  4. 4

    What the switch involves

    Check what can move and what needs a decision before anyone imports records. Smartsheet task sheets can be exported to Excel, then columns mapped and a test import checked. Agree how attachments, comments, custom rules and other records will be handled.

The option that fits

Enterprise DNA brings your Smartsheet data across, agrees how records and working practices will be handled, and runs the built version for you. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to manage it yourself, there is also a free version.
