Why Smartsheet Struggles Beyond Projects
- Built for projects, not full operations
- Features locked behind upgrades and add-ons
- Automation is limited and often frustrating
- Data lives in silos — disconnected modules and sheets
- Sharing is messy — guest access is restricted and costly
- Permission controls are coarse — leading to overexposure or blockers
AnyDB Was Built to Run Your Business — Not Just Track Tasks
- Designed for business-wide operations, not just project timelines
- Automations, forms, and permissions included — no hidden tiers
- Link records and data across departments natively
- Share with unlimited free guests — securely and at scale
- Per-record and per-field access control — down to the cell
- All-in-one system that grows with your business — without patchwork add-ons
Smartsheet helps track work — but it wasn’t built to run operations.
You need connected data, flexible systems, and real control.
As you scale operations across finance, HR, compliance, or IT, spreadsheets and timelines just aren’t enough. Smartsheet starts breaking under real operational complexity.
That’s why we built AnyDB.
It combines the spreadsheet interface your team knows with the structure of a system — bringing workflows, permissions, and data together in one flexible, scalable platform.
