I use smartsheets and I love it. When you consider things like attachments and discussions for each row, easy updating by others, total control over formatting, formulas, and now Mechanical Turk…. what you can do is almost limitless. Its a very powerful tool, yet so simple for those averse to technology.

If you have a 60 year old field guy that doesn’t want to remember logins and such, this is the thing. It also happens to be the thing for a power geek.

So far I really like Smartsheet, except the trial policy.

Anyway, I like it so much that I switched one of the projects from Zoho and testing it now.

I think what we need is a software that works and works fast. Zoho is too slow and has limited number of features – smartsheet technically has no PM features, but it’s flexible.

I would not use Smartsheet for a large project, so I would not Zoho…

I recently read a blog post (can’t remember where exactly) about what does a PM tool need to be a pioneer in the market. My comment (on that post and another one) was intelligence, PM tools are currently merely a way for storing your information and displaying it back on demand, they’re not really intelligent. By intelligent I don’t mean fancy reports, I mean learning from you, what you’re doing and what others are doing, seeing your mistakes (even the subtle, logical ones), etc…

I think this should be the next big thing for such products.

Nozbe also has great collaboration tools in its family and team applications. However, you are correct that trying to get others to use the system you use is a major challenge. Heck, getting them to use any system is a challenge. Time and task management really is a personal choice.
