### "Best PM tool around"

May 7, 2019

5.0

My experience with Workfront has been an excellent one. The system has revolutionize the way that I PM. I'm able to have full oversight into the projects that are coming into our team and keeping an eye on when things are due. It's helping me to keep things moving and that's critical.

Pros

For me, as a Creative Services PM, my favorite thing about Workfront is being able to have a highly customizable way to uniformly intake project requests. The ability to also have an in-system proofing tool is invaluable -- it helps to keep our stakeholders accountable and it streamlines our proofing/feedback workflow.

Cons

There's so much to learn -- our organization is 1.5 years in and I'm still just scratching the surface of WF's capabilities. This might be one of those strengths veiled as a weakness, but that's my main pinch point.

### "The first few months of Workfront are promising"

January 26, 2020

4.0

Workfront has given us a scalable and shapeable project management software. Startup and migration from our previous system has been cumbersome, but the outlook towards a robust and customized project management software is very promising.

Pros

Extraordinarily customizable. We've been able to suit to more precisely to our needs than our previous project management software. Proofing options are excellent, allowing for dynamic viewing, commenting, and approvals. Conversation-style updates digests, easy to track. Robust notifications Really like the predecessor feature that triggers actions AFTER other actions are complete. Solid budgeting and reporting functions. In-project media storage is extremely useful, meaning that we don't have to use a third party.

Cons

Fairly intense learning curve for both those who on-boarded the software and the users. The software really needed to be shaped to our environment before it was ready for easier learning for the crew. The sheer volume of features meant that we spent considerable time distinguishing between some aspects of the software from other similarly named aspects.

### "Helping us get our PM on track!"

October 2, 2015

4.0

We are a growing team that is evolving from the sticky notes, constantly out-of-date spreadsheets, broken email chains and desperate scribbles on napkins era of project management and into a more streamlined system that displays real-time information. We reviewed a few enterprise level solutions and Workfront came out on top. This is a very robust system that can be viewed as overwhelming and unfriendly, however I encourage you to invest in the on-site training and education. Workfront is more than an off-the-shelf solution, this is a system that needs to be custom fit to your particular workflow and business rules. The on-site consultant not only trained us on how to make Workfront fit our needs, but also took the time to review how we operate internally and offered best practices moving forward. We are a higher education, in-house creative marketing team that has been able to manage work flow on our own up to this point, but we need a system to allow our growing team to view work status in a consolidated view while allowing our client base an easy way to request work from us and get updates without having to call or email our team. Workfront consolidates communication, documents, and media in one place. If you are a creative team, then I highly suggest the in-line proofing tool. This allows for internal and client reviews of art within Workfront. No more running print outs around the campus! Workfront gives us an easy way to track time spent on projects. We have been plagued by endless revisions, scope creep, and other death by a thousand cuts requests on projects. We now have a way to see how our time is being spent and can see potential time pit falls before they happen.

Pros

Highly customizable Excellent training and support Consolidates communication and documents Got my project manager off of blood pressure medication

Cons

Needs a lot of planning and research to set up correctly (please invest in the on-site consultant!) Need to invest time in training on-line and with consultant

### "From a constant stream of chaotic, seemingly unstructured requests to a streamlined intake of work."

May 18, 2017

4.0

Having a singe route for the marketing operations team (our internal agency) to take in work has created more structured, more consistent intake so work can be assessed more easily. It has completely stopped requests getting stuck in peoples email inboxes or sent to the wrong person. We now also have greater visibility of projects and requests. Can asses the type and volume of work so we can schedule resources easier and plan for future recruitment better.

Pros

It has broad functionality and follow typical project management flows and tools such as agile and different project views. It is rich enough to run complex projects and you can simplify it to make it easier to use for users that have no or limited project management experience. The system administrator can do most, if not all, configuration so you keep control of the system in-house without needing consultancy. I particularly like that you can report on all fields in the system, even against custom forms, so if you have a non-standard project need you can report on it.

Cons

Out of the box there are no templates or workflows, which means you start from scratch. There would be nice to have had some basic flows to start with. Some of my colleagues in the marketing team found the broad functionality, needing to access different screens to do different work, quite intimidating. This can be solved with custom dashboards, but as a project management tool designed for marketers (who don't usually have project management training) having an out of the box 'simplified view' would be good.

### "Workfront your project management solution for large organisations"

November 24, 2019

5.0

We worked with a large client of ours to implement Workfront for their project management purposes. We have been monitoring and working with the application with them for the past two years. It is a great application for large organisations that are very hierarchical. I would advise anyone implementing this to plan the set up well.

Pros

Workfront is a great enterprise project management application. While there are a lot of project management tools out there for small businesses, Workfront takes into account the complexity of large organisations. This project management application is your best bet if you are running project management in a large organisation. It is feature-rich and supports different permissions levels which is necessary in large organisations.

Cons

Set up is not as straight forward as one would like. This is probably due to the high level of customisation available on the application. This I guess is to be expected with any implementation for a large organisation.

### "Great project management for creative and marketing departments"

October 15, 2019

4.0

Before Workfront we struggled with paper proofs being routed across desks and edits written in pen. Communication and revisions via email threads connected to digital creative assets were lost. Tracking estimated team hours and keeping projects moving in a linear fashion was barely manageable. Workfront resolved these issues at a mid-level price point for a small to medium-sized business or agency. While some of the bigger enterprise features and integrations may be missing, all the essentials as readily available, easily accessible, and not too difficult to setup.

Pros

This digital proofing system is among one of the more intuitive project management platforms I've used. Here are some of the things to like about Workfront: the ability proof web pages with live click throughs, version control, simulated browsers and devices, inline comments, a hierarchy of approvals, and progress taskbar.

Cons

Here are things that Workfront could use a little improvement: custom forms, integration to marketing platforms for deliverables on task management calendar (Hubspot specifically), more intuitive gantt charts for tracking team progress, and user views/rights that allow end-users to view and share projects without custom permissions.

### "Better Every Year"

May 7, 2019

5.0

Visibility has been a major benefit of using Workfront, as well as having a digital paper trail of communication and timelines.

Pros

Workfront really listens to its customers. We've had the software for a few years now, and it continues to get better. Changes are implemented in a thoughtful manner, and the opportunities to customize the system for your organization's needs is really unique.

Cons

It can be difficult for users to keep up with the amount of email notifications sent, so focusing on a more streamlined way to notify users about what they really need to know about would be helpful.

### "Best PPM software available today."

August 6, 2018

5.0

Best PPM Software available regardless of industry. The collaboration capabilities separate it from it's competition.

Pros

Ease of entering projects while offering full-featured capabilities. Workfront understands the need to enter tasks in quickly without too much overhead, yet the software still supports a wide-range of capability regarding task and project configuration.

Cons

Reporting capabilities are still a bit limited when compared to how much other parts of the software have been continuously improved. Nothing that exporting to Excel and creating pivot charts can't solve.

Its overall experience is good. But initially I found it a bit difficult to manage.

Pros

I like its multiple projects feature the most.

Cons

I like all its features. But I think it would have been better for beginners if it had a free trial.

### "Track your work in Adobe Workfront"

September 29, 2022

5.0

It allows us to save time when allocating resources and managing our time. The reporting tools assist higher management in better understanding what we are doing and how long it takes to do it. I appreciate how they are constantly releasing updates that help to improve the tool based on user feedback.

Pros

Large projects may be divided up into manageable components using the effective project management tool Workfront. The technology allows us to transfer documents across teams and clients and track the project's development as it moves through its many phases. The uploading and downloading of documents is simple.

Cons

When it comes to time management, Workfront might be counterintuitive at times. There are a few functioning concerns that I believe should be addressed in order to better serve its consumers.

### "Great product for large teams"

November 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workfront is a great software for larger teams to keep track of products. We are a large healthcare organization and work front allows us to keep track of the many marketing projects that flow through our team. We can grant limited access to those outside of our team for proofing or designing, and everyone is able to see status at a glance.

Cons

There are often upgrades to the software that make things look and function differently without any real education about what has changed. A tutorial or guide once changes are made would be helpful.

### "Working Right with Workfront"

April 9, 2019

4.0

Having used Workfront for a year now, it has made my work-task experience much more organized and manageable. It's been very helpful to have everything in one place that is easily and quickly accessible no matter where I am.

Pros

I love how Workfront is able to store every facet about a project: proofs, comments, tasks, documents. It makes it very easy to locate everything you need for a specific project. Workfront also works in conjunction with a lot of third-party software like instant messengers or content management software that your company may already be using. It can handle the workload of a large or small company.

Cons

There is a lot of back-end setup that could take weeks or months to get trained on because each version has to be designed on what each company needs. Customer service is not as responsive (speed) as I would prefer, but they are always helpful when they get back to you.

### "Great project management tool that consolidates all needed information."

July 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

When a whole team is using this tool it allows for seamless progress without having to send mundane and repetitive emails throughout the day. You can track progress, assign tasks to people, upload documents, fill out necessary custom forms and then generate reports from said forms and tasks. It's easily customize able so you can manage and alter templates; also you can mess around in Sandbox which will allow you to try and "break the system" without harming of the already completed work. There are a lot of tools that I've yet to discover in WorkFront, but the live updates that are published company-wide is a great indirect communication tool.

Cons

WorkFront can be very slow to update and laggy. Once a template exceeds the 400 task mark, the overall program will start to slow. Also, when altering dates the program can be very slow to update and sometimes I'll need to "Recalculate Timeline" just to see if my edit had saved. I've also heard that it is quite pricey for my company (even though I don't pay for it personally), Smartsheets I've heard is cheaper.

### "A Must Have Software!!"

October 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ours is a logistics company and we are having warehouses and port handling activities at different locations. With the help of Workfront software, we are able to easily assign tasks and activities to our personnel located at different offices. We are also able to keep track of the progress of the tasks assigned to the employees. And if any task is lagging from its original time path then we are able to take corrective actions accordingly. This software saves time that was wasted in calls and mails communication explaining all the task details. This is very easy to use and very user friendly. Helps to plan, assign, track and improve the project progress. Thank you Workfront! Thumbs up!

Cons

I feel that the reporting suite is bit restricted. It should provide more freedom to users. Rest the software is really good.

### "Workfront is our way to success in Project Mangement even if it more expensive than other competitors "

August 29, 2018

4.0

We are using WorkFront for about 2 years now and is very pleased with the functionality and feature set it provides to meet our needs to manage Workfront takes time and effort to implement, but anything worthwhile should. Workfront's team has been very helpful to us and really cares that we earn a win for our team. I am an end user of Workfront within teams. Workfront helps me keep on track with all my work, tracking progress and deadlines to ensure all work is delivered efficiently and on time.

Pros

Customization and Small Duration to be built and including good tools for Project Management In case of owning a lot of tasks on daily basis: Workfront is the best for monitoring and follow up Including all the required Reports for Top Management Very Good Support Team Always upgrading and adding new features and reports

Cons

I couldn’t reach how to automate prioritizing projects and assigning project, I am searching for this feature currently Company should have a process before using this software else it will not add anything to the work flow Higher Cost than other simpler software’s companies Hard to get team members to update data consistently, which impacts project status/reporting

### "I think that Workfront is a very innovative system - I think there are some missing pieces too."

May 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that Workfront is pretty easy to navigate, I also like the new front with integrations coming into play. I like how easy it is to do reporting and leverage reports into dashboards.

Cons

I do not like the lack of ability to customize user instances. I would prefer to hide everything that a user does not need to see or use to make it way more basic. Right now, the system is not structured to do this by user only by group or permission settings. I think it's also annoying to have current-pending projects not be an option to show on the legacy gnatt and it's a pretty easy feature. I'd also like to see more development with roles and skillsets not the basic settings for primary and secondary roles. I'm happy to hear that the help desk will be restructuring requests going to specific topics such as reporting. I have used the help desk before and have found it frustrating that the consultant I am assigned does not have the knowledge to address my concern/question and I get passed along through the pipe until I reach someone who can. I'd like to see development in reporting more.

As a Business Analyst and a part of Project Management , I have to Keep a Track of how the Status of the Project and the resources working on it. This Tool has helped my team and me ease the entire Process of Project Management.

Pros

Communication has gotten extremely easy by the use of this Tool in my team. Employees are Automatically Notified and updated about the Required Actions.

It also helps in maintaining a Matrix of number of hours , date of completion of project, planned hours, etc.

Cons

This software could be too robust for someone Looking for Software to Track Tasks. Customer Service is disappointing as its not that easy to obtain a specific answer. The Available Options for Charts in Reports are Limited.
