Sigmaviu vs Smartsheet
Smartsheet is how many PMOs run control: sheets, reports, forms, and a control center that can provision the same solution again. Sigmaviu stores the project objects themselves, so a WBS row, a document revision, and a daily report are not three sheet designs.
Choose Sigmaviu when
Choose Sigmaviu when you want schedule, document control, construction logs, safety, and quality as product records with their own rules.
Choose Smartsheet when
Choose Smartsheet when your standard is a sheet solution you replicate, and formula-level flexibility matters more than native construction or quality objects.
Side by side
Public product shape, not a scoreboard. Pricing and packaging change. Confirm both products before you buy.

How work is stored
Projects, tasks, documents, risks, submittals, and inspections are separate records.
Rows and columns, with premium apps for intake, control, and dynamic views.
Formulas and conditions
Bounded formulas on custom fields, plus automations with nested conditions. This is not a sheet formula engine.
Sheet formulas, cross-sheet references, and a long-standing control model.
Schedule
WBS, P6 and MS Project import, baseline, and a Gantt with explicit save.
Gantt on sheets, dependencies, and baselines you configure in the sheet.
Document control
Risk class, version freeze, and separation of duties on the register.
Proofing and attachments. A controlled register is usually a design on top.
Field and quality
Daily reports, RFIs, submittals, NCR and CAPA, and safety inspections.
Forms can capture them. The lifecycle of each log is yours to build.

Questions buyers ask
We have years of Smartsheet solutions. Is this a migration pitch?
Only where the sheet is standing in for a project record you now want as data: schedule, documents, cost, or field logs. A working sheet that is truly a tracker can stay.
Does Sigmaviu match Smartsheet formulas?
No. Custom fields support a bounded formula set and automations can react to results. Cross-sheet formula modeling stays a Smartsheet strength.
Can both produce an executive report?
Yes. Smartsheet reports roll up sheets. Sigmaviu charts and portfolio health roll up project, cost, and risk records.
