Jawad K.: Hi, my name is Jawad. I'm the owner of A&A's General. I give Adobe Workfront three stars out of a five-star rating. I used other software like Google Workspace and chose to remain with Google. Adobe was just too big and too expensive for me. I chose Adobe because I have a small business, but I decided that it was too complex. It's more for larger businesses. For smaller businesses, I'm probably going to only use 20% of the Adobe Workfront, and plus, it's too expensive, $30 a month, so I decided not to go with it. Adobe Workfront, it was pretty easy to download and get started with. Like I said, it is just too expensive for a small business, too complex. If you have a larger business and you have multiple employees that you can sync up and manipulate documents, I would choose to go with that. But if you're a smaller business, I definitely could not recommend Adobe at this time. If you're a large business that have multiple employees, a lot of employees, complex work, manipulating documents, syncing up with employees, you could save a lot of time. But if you're a small business, it's going to cost you more than it's going to save you. It's about $30 a month, and you're probably only going to use 20 to 30% of the software, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're a real small business.
