### "Workfront is Powerful after some Training"

December 14, 2021

4.0

If you're looking for a quick plug and play management tool I'd go elsewhere, however if you want to take advantage of robust features/tracking and don't mind taking the time to learn the software Workfront is a very effective tool.

Pros

Workfront is a robust tool that allows for the managements of complicated projects to be broken down and assigned as smaller tasks.

Cons

The software has a learning curve that requires some training in order to use effectively. While it may be frustrating getting the hang of it initially, it is well worth it for the benefits provided once everyone is on the same page.

### "A total work management solution, not just "an app to buy.""

May 7, 2019

5.0

I love the platform. I cannot imagine going backwards and using a non-automated work solution. Having everything in one place will make it easier to master modern work™.

Pros

I love the ability to collaborate with fellow workers and keep all of that information in one container. Having used the old "Excel workflow," having a dynamically updated workflow management solution allows me to know what exactly is going on, who's working on it, who's approved it, etc. I love how it keeps everyone honest and encourages transparancy across all actors. And the proofing tool is amazing.

Cons

Sometimes, it feels as if we're clicking all over the place. There is that sense of confusion, which looks as if it's being addressed in the new interface coming out in the summer. I feel as if sometimes, things are needlessly confusing. Text mode can be frustrating for Plan users. There are things that feel as if they should Just Work...and those things are the most complicated to solve.

### "Project manager review"

May 7, 2019

5.0

We are able to do a lot more reporting than we were and we are able to more accurately keep track of our tasks.

Pros

I like the home tab and I like the ease of making reports.

Cons

I wish that reporting could be more robust, I want to have more ability to make more complex charts. I really want a timeline undo button for the most recent thing done because sometimes you do something accidently that sets you back 20 min. I really want a way to more easily rename tasks with more of a find/replace function. Sometimes I want to add the month name behind a set of tasks to make it easier for everyone to know what their task is for but I have to do that manually and it can take up to an hour. I want all updates to go to the top of the page, so if someone comments today on something that I wrote a month ago, I want it to show up at the top of the updates list, not at the very bottom and impossible to find. I want to be able to attach screenshots to comments.

### "User-friendly interface"

May 25, 2023

5.0

Overall, Adobe Workfront is a sophisticated project management solution with a variety of capabilities to help teams interact more effectively. While it may have a high learning curve and be costly for certain users, its sophisticated reporting and connection with Adobe Creative Cloud make it a great asset for teams handling complicated projects.

Pros

Adobe Workfront is a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows users to easily navigate and manage their projects.

Cons

While the platform is simple to use, it may take some time for users to fully grasp all of its features and potential.

5.0

Pros

just like their other. Products adobe hit the nail on the head. It has everything and is fairly easy to get the hang of. It simplified my day so I can worry and stress over. Everything else like my tasks being done on time.

Cons

The price is the only thing that ever gets me when dealing with adobe.

### "Efficient project management software which worth to try"

August 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

Usually big companies set big goals and ambitious deadlines to reach, but no one shows the patch how to get there. But Workfront Project Management Software makes it possible.Whether your company is specialized in IT, marketing or finance industry Workfront project management software meets all of your requirements. With Workfront everything is built on collaboration and the tasks which team members need to know about the project is filled out before they start working. With easy user interface you can see the workflow, tasks and requests and the responsible team members for it. Workfront Project Management Software is also compatible with mobile devices. It makes easy to check progress or see set tasks even when you are away. After using Workfront Project Management Software in our company we do more with less effort and productivity was increased parallel to revenue.

Cons

For me the most important insufficiency of Workfront Project Management Software is billing and invoicing feature which would be great if added.

### "Elevating Enterprise Work Management"

November 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

Adobe Workfront excels in enterprise work management, offering robust tools for project planning, collaboration, and reporting. Customizable workflows, automation, and integration capabilities enhance efficiency for large-scale projects.

Cons

Implementation can be complex and time-consuming, with a learning curve for users. Advanced features may require additional training, impacting ease of use. Pricing is not cheap.

### "Versatile Tool That Helps You Get Stuff Done"

May 7, 2019

4.0

The biggest thing is controlling the chaos and putting all project related info in one place.

Pros

The tool allows use to build standardization across the global network while allowing for some customizations for individual business units. The tool also has a ton of features that allows a business unit to grow and mature in the tool and in the industry

Cons

The biggest thing for me is the price. It is an expensive tool and so some business units have to do weird or fancy workarounds to reduce the number of licenses purchased. This means they are not using the tool to its fullest potential.

### "Flexible and Robust"

May 7, 2019

4.0

In the year + that we've been using Workfront it's felt like a major improvement in everyone's workflow and organization. It was easy buy in from both the internal team and requesters since it allowed for visibility that our previous software did not allow.

Pros

The switch to Workfront was easy for my team since it was such a major improvement in organizing our workflow from our previous solution. One of the stand out features is that it keeps our communication within the program, keeps it organized and searchable. I no longer have to struggle with keeping people's messages organized throughout multiple mediums, this is so much easier for everyone involved.

Cons

It can be tough to keep up with all the new roll outs that Workfront provides. I've found that some major updates weren't fully integrated and didn't offer maximum results, so I'll need to vet the updates significantly before deciding whether or not our current processes should be reworked to include them.

### "A very useful program to speed up teamwork"

July 24, 2023

5.0

You can access different projects remotely and have precise monitoring of the different projects, which makes it tremendously positive for teamwork and to see where each project is.

Pros

It is a tremendously useful tool to streamline and facilitate teamwork. It helps to save time in the different projects and to make the work more efficient.

Cons

So far I have not found a negative point in this program. in fact, I keep learning different utilities every day with this program.

### "the DBA journey"

May 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

\- Finally having MOST of our stuff in one place! No more disconnected systems that don't talk to one another! (SO excited about the Google integration!) - The flexibility to customize per our individual needs (custom forms, queues, approvals) - Reporting and dashboards! We've recently discovered how to make reports into custom dashboards for different teams and needs in our system and it's amazing! -

Cons

\- In-system notifications can be very overwhelming. It would be great to somehow combine or aggregate multiple notifications about one task or issue into a single notification - I've recently really been struggling with not being able to create reports with fields from tasks, issues and projects. - Text mode editing is SO frustrating lol.

### "We love Workfront"

April 22, 2015

5.0

Our Internal Agency group has been using Workfront/ AtTask coming up on 3 years. We started with 50 users and at last count, we were over 130. It has become an indispensable tool for request intake, project creation and management, reporting, resource management and cost tracking. Prior to implementation, we had a 4 person Traffic department that had to utilize 3 different platforms to track creative requests. We were always behind and our on-time rate for projects was hit or miss. Very frustrating. Within weeks of implementing AtTask we were able to easily manage all of our requests (approx. 150 per month) and track thousands of hours of task time on various creative requests. Our Traffic team is now down to 1 FTE generating more information and tracking more requests than we could ever have imagined. The software has passed through 3 major iterations and improvements come down the pipe to us each month. The company is responsive to our needs and requests. This is not the cheapest solution out there but it is a terrific value!

Pros

\- I can't imagine any large enterprise that would be too big to use Workfront. Properly configured, it can handle any size and number of projects - easy to learn, easy to use. Adoption by new users is quick and worry free. 20 minutes training gets a new user up and running - reporting tools are awesome. - the ability to adapt this software to any kind of process make it useful across many areas. We are finding new ways to use it each month. - the collaboration part of each project makes it comfortable for all to use. Everyone sees everything in one place - SAAS makes it available anywhere there is WiFi

Cons

\- it is an expensive solution for small companies. - some nomenclature is confusing - some of their processes are a bit clunky but they are being re-worked continually

### "Hands down, without Workfront my job would be frustrating."

May 7, 2019

5.0

I have to manage multiple projects a week, and Workfront allows me to stay on top of everything from the start of the project all the way through the launch date.

Pros

As a recent college grad (and first career job), this is my first experience with a work project management system. In school, they don't teach you about this at all. I imagined everything was done via email or voice. Using this system makes managing projects efficient and convenient. A few things I love the most are the actual projects that allow me to allocate resources, assign tasks, upload documents, and have timelines and lists of my projects.

Cons

The main dashboard was a little hard to navigate at first, and the update a few months ago made it worse. BUT, the new design rollout today I am super excited for!!

### "Opportunity for it to work, but challenging implementation"

August 31, 2021

4.0

We're individually managing anywhere from 30-40 projects at a time. This helps us keep track of deadlines and who is working on what, but things easily fall through the cracks, and work accomplished via meetings and email isn't easily accounted for or tracked.

Pros

It's great to be able to keep track of all the ongoing projects I have, as well as keep track of where other tasks are.

Cons

Not everybody uses it consistently, which essentially renders it useless.

### "I use workfront every single day for work (enforced by my company) and I'm not in love "

July 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

Workfront does have seemingly endless features and customization options which makes it adaptable to most any (or at least many) businesses. I work in a project-based industry so it is helpful for keeping track of a large number of different items at various stages of the project's lifecycle.

Cons

I find all of workfront's features to be overwhelming and not very user-friendly. I spend a lot of time trying to use this system and make it work in the way I need it to, and I think I'm spending more time managing tasks and project status now than I used to when I would just keep track in my own template. I do like that if a date changes in a timeline, workfront will automatically push out the rest of the steps, but it's so hard to set up intricate timelines that the convenience of changing timelines doesn't seem that great when you look at the overall time spent creating and maintaining.

### "Reliable and very robust PPM tool "

May 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

Implementing Workfront in our organization has helped give the PMO team single source of truth for project and portfolio management and resource availability. Workfront also has FANTASTIC support and documentation that helps solving issues easy. I leverage this forum very often while stuck on a problem. This is also a company that invests a lot in making its products better and listening to the voice of the customer.

Cons

Building reports can be hard becasue the tool tracks SO MUCH data. It can take a lot of time and effort to learn all aspects of reporting including text mode. It's not really a con but does post challenges in overcoming the learning curve.

### "it is a necessary tool for remote teamwork. "

April 18, 2023

5.0

In the middle of 2023, when most of the jobs are remote, we needed a tool like this that would help manage all remote work in a simple way and incorporating all the people in a project so that everyone can be aware of how it is progressing in real time. all project management.

Pros

it is a necessary tool for remote teamwork. It allows you to define objectives and you can have a precise follow-up of the different projects in progress, being able to assign tasks, schedules and functions. It makes everything go smoothly. Mainly it helps you order, streamline and assign in a very simple way.

Cons

I love this software but if I had to disagree I would say that they should update the mobile version a little more

### "Workfront Keeps Everything in One Place"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Workfront is essential to any project management company, as it allows you to connect with team members, share content, and keep everything in one organized place.

Pros

I love how with Workfront, you can make/review timelines, upload/edit written materials (proofs), and keep track of all your meetings on one project management system

Cons

When Workfront made updates to the layout and user experience several months ago, it made the timeline review window much smaller, so it'd harder to see everything at a glance. I wish they would correct that

### "Full featured but not intuitive"

October 3, 2019

3.0

For how we use it, it works well on a day to day basis. Report capabilities seem excellent, though I have only used reports created by the admin team, so I don't know much about the report creation process.

Pros

Our company values accurate time tracking, especially time spent working on projects vs "light on" type of work. This product allows great configurability for setting up time tracking for projects, tasks, and various kinds of "lights on" work (i.e. bugfix, routine maintenance, enhancement, etc) by business area supported, etc, which allows us to create accurate reporting on these measures. This helps in greatly in resource mananagement, such as when teams can absorbe more work, when they are overloaded, when to add an FTE or bring in consultants, etc.

Cons

It is incredibly full featured and sometimes feels like using a sledgehammer to hammer in a nail. Admittedly, we are not using it to it's full advantage, but even the process of adding a project and subordinate tasks to my timesheets seems overly tedious. Specifically, if a project manager gives me the project # in workfront, if I search for that it never returns the project for me to add. I have to know something in the title of the project to find it, and then I can add tasks, etc.
