Workfront is a great project management system for our team

4.0 last year

Comments: By organizing and tracking our project activities, we can see how the workflow impacts the timing of individual tasks, which is a problem that Workfront helps us tackle.

Pros:

Workfront's extensive toolset is fantastic. As a result, we are able to keep track of projects and documents in one easily accessible spot, perfect for audits and other record-keeping needs.

Cons:

Workfront's high degree of complexity in setting up individual projects is one of its drawbacks. There is a steep learning curve that might slow down user adoption due to the interface's subpar design and abundance of options that make navigation difficult.

A Powerful Project Management Tool for Designers

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall a powerful solution for managing design projects, with excellent task tracking, communication, and collaboration features. However, its complexity might be overkill for smaller-scale design workflows or solo designers.

Pros:

This is an excellent project management tool for graphic designers, offering a streamlined interface for managing complex design workflows, setting deadlines, and collaborating with teams across different stages of a project. Its integration with other Adobe Creative Cloud tools makes it easy to access and share design assets without disrupting creative processes.

Cons:

Can be overwhelming for designers new to project management software.

Pros:

It creates a really good visual for teams to understand what the road map is to getting to more success and better management of projects.

Managing All the Work - Using Workfront

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Workfront is a product I still recommend to this day. And I started using it 10 years ago! It's intuitive in design, robust in the scope of work it can manage and organize, and allows for teams, such as national ones, to increase their productivity, clarity and understanding of work's purpose.

Pros:

When I first started working at Advance Auto Parts, there was no project management system in place for the eCommerce team. At first, we used SharePoint, but after a year of getting by, we had a proper Workfront implementation and never looked back. We were Waterfall, not Agile, in our project management process; and while Workfront has enhanced their Agile capabilities over the years, it simplified our work management overnight. With our team spread out between California, Minnesota and North Carolina, real-time updates and ease of use for the tool was critical. Workfront delivered both. Thanks to that tool, I was the only project manager on staff for a good while and remained able to manage the entire flow.

Cons:

As we expanded and sought to do more robust reporting, there was resistance to using what was generated, or could be screen-captured from Workfront vs. the fixed mindset of using PowerPoint. Having more dynamic imagery in the project report-outs would have been of benefit.

We can easily track the progress of a task/project with Workfront

4.0 last year

Comments: By centralizing all of a team's work in a single location, Workfront makes it simple for everyone on the team to monitor the status of a given task or project, provide feedback on drafts as needed, and see how their work fits into the bigger picture. Financial coding is a part of it as well.

Pros:

Workfront successfully unifies a wide range of a project's constituent parts. The user has a lot of leeway in determining the system's functionality and the information it stores to suit his own purposes.

Cons:

Workfront's messaging system is not very user-friendly. Direct communication via email or phone is more convenient. On multiple instances, I have checked the Updates section for replies.

Sometimes there is lag with the program.

Expensive, but good for large teams

4.0 3 weeks ago New

Pros:

Fairly comprehensive project management, good workflow customization tools and collaboration tools as well. The reporting tools are also extremely robust.

Cons:

The learning curve was fairly steep, but this can be expected given it’s an adobe product. As well as the high price point.

Adobe Workfront

5.0 last year

Comments: In general, there is a lot of engagement with Adobe Workfront. Customers appreciate the executive's highlights, such as task following, asset management, and coordinated effort tools, as well as the stage's ambitious endeavor. The ability to adapt work procedures and include task-related activities is frequently regarded as a major benefit. We see it as an important tool for streamlining the project and the executive's processes and enhancing group productivity, even though there may be an expectation to learn and adapt specific to the stage.

Pros:

For the teams I work on at my organization, moving from four distinct platforms—ServiceNow, Excel, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Project—to one platform has been a lifesaver when it comes to project intake, planning, and execution. We developed our own workflows, taught our submitters on a single system, and subsequently trained our PMs on the same system. One benefit I really enjoy is that we may add new features and modifications at any time.

Cons:

It does take some getting used to the program. In order to become familiar with the terminology (tasks vs. projects, dashboards, and reports), a significant amount of onboarding typically occurs. From the standpoint of my team, we utilized our onboarding sessions to personalize dashboards for each team member. Both the designers' and copywriters' dashboards are separate. Thus, even while the intricacy is a drawback, there is a lot of room for additional customization.

Efficient productivity

5.0 last year

Comments: As a user of several project management tools, I was pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness it provides to comprehensively manage multi-functional teams and projects with multiple deliverables. Its scalability allowed me to adapt it to changing and increasing management complexity needs. The friendly interface added to the large number of reports and metrics available provide visibility at all times on the progress status. Without a doubt, it is an excellent solution for any organization that requires managing project portfolios in a simple but powerful way

Pros:

What I liked most about Adobe Workfront was its simple and intuitive interface. It allows you to clearly view and manage all projects, tasks and resources comprehensively on a single platform. Its carefully designed interface makes the learning curve very low, allowing any user to start using its powerful management tools in no time

Cons:

What I liked least was some limitations in advanced customization of views and panels. Although by default it comes with configurations that allow you to functionally view the information, for larger and more complex projects I needed to make some customizations that I could not easily specify from the interface. This required support from the support team on some occasions

Adobe Workfront is the platform you love to hate

4.0 7 months ago

Pros:

Workfront streamlines task management and in-depth processes. Its deep customization abilities allow you to tailor the tool to meet your company's needs and specific processes.

Cons:

Workfront has a clean UI and looks friendly, but there are a lot of links behind the scenes between tasks, projects, etc. To master this takes a lot of practice and is a steep learning curve. My previous workplace just used Workfront for timesheets, which made it much easier.

Adobe Workfront - discover modern efficiency

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Great experience, allows us to really handle projects with marketing a lot easier. Although it requires a fair amount of training, it's worth the time and effort.

Pros:

The product allows us a greater grasp of digital presence such as media and marketing tasks/goals. It makes it very easy to delegate projects as well.

Cons:

Could use with a better onboarding or training course, it takes a while to learn everything this product can do, which isn't a bad thing, but the barebones functions take a while as well to figure out.

Easy to use and essential tool

4.0 last year

Comments: At the beginning it was difficult for our company to adapt to its use, but with time it became a management support.

Pros:

The best thing is the centralization of the work, from there you can share files, comments and more. It also optimizes the work of the group by properly managing resources, costs and time.

Cons:

As it is a management software, its implementation should have a short adaptation process. In addition, the cost limits its participation to small companies.

extremely convenient and efficient, for tracking progress and collaborating

4.0 last year

Pros:

I have a fondness, for the Workfront software because of its project management capabilities. One feature that stands out to me the most is its ability to consolidate and simplify all project related tasks and information in a location. This makes it incredibly convenient and efficient, for tracking progress collaborating with team members and maintaining organization. Furthermore I find the softwares user friendly interface particularly attractive. It is intuitive and effortless to navigate enabling me to access the tools and features without any complications.

Cons:

Although I believe that Workfront is a project management software there are aspects that I find less favorable. A major downside is the softwares complexity, which can be overwhelming, for newcomers trying to navigate and comprehend all of its features and functionalities. The learning curve can be quite steep requiring some time to grasp and make use of all its capabilities.
