### "Excellent tool to track projects"

August 14, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have been using WorkFront since I started my current job as a Program Coordinator for a publishing department. I like this software and it was easy to learn. I like the way how the layout was set up and the different tabs under each project.

Cons

I have managed access over the project so some times, I have modified tasks by mistake because if I click over a task it will give me the option to edit a task right away. I prefer to click in an Edit option before it gives me the option to edit.

### "Review for Adobe Workfront"

March 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

This app is very very useful. You don't need to open your laptop to do your work. In your phone it can be operated. You may use it anywhere and everywhere for every kind of work. I just loved it 💞

Cons

It's impossible for me to find any cons for this application.

### "Great tool for task management & managing projects!"

December 4, 2020

5.0

I highly recommend this tool. It really helps manage projects and keep all project files in one place, while also allowed the team members review proofs, add feedback and approve all in one place!

Pros

I really love that Workfront allows you to create a work back that is also a task manager! The way the system also allows you to upload files for review, add feedback and approve makes project management much more smooth.

Cons

One thing I feel can be optimized is the concept of tasks vs. requests. It can get a wee bit confusing. I wish the tool allowed a resource chart pulled from the Work Back Schedule/Task LIst.

### "collaborative cloud based platform for truly transformative work"

June 3, 2019

5.0

See above - marketing processes and operations transformed by our adoption, implementation and daily use of WorkFront

Pros

It is indeed our system of record for all marketing work. System provides full transparency,(thus also help with accountability) but importantly enables collaborative working across several organisations - we do not just use WorkFront within ICOn but with our agencies - it's truly a collaborative cloud based work platform that has driven greater efficiency and output, which in turn has helped undermine greater marketing impact.

Cons

UI can be confusing .

### "Wouldn't be without it now. It is vital for our project management and data analysis for planning."

May 18, 2017

5.0

Visibility and transparency across our projects (10 per year), more accurate information for resource forecasting and project planning.

Pros

Personally, reporting is the most useful for me. I run reports daily to glean information for resourcing and future project planning. For our editors, the project plans are vital to manage 100s of tasks in one place and assign work to their team members.

Cons

It can be slow and temperamental at times. Dragging and dropping tasks is a no-no! You never know where it will end up! It is largely intuitive but I have found that it is only by trial and error that I have learned how to ask for what I want to see in reports. Not always immediately obvious. Updates can affect reports also and render them useless / not working as they were before the update.

June 5, 2023

5.0

My Overall experience has been amazing so far. Adobe Workfront is just what me and my team needs with our over all projects and different tasks within the app comes in handy for us. I absolutely love it every thing is perfect. We can keep up with each other’s projects and you can also see how much time is being spent

Pros

The fact that Adobe provides access to the time each team member has spent on a project

Cons

I don’t have any Con nor concerns about Adobe Workfront

### "Workfront Review from a Production Managers view."

May 7, 2019

3.0

Pros

Pretty easy for creatives to understand and to set up reports and dashboards with an quick snapshot of what's important. We want to spend about 5-10% of the day in Workfront so it's easy to do the basics with.

Cons

Not being able to attach files to comments in Updates, not being able to use Tasks like a Microsoft PP, Google Sheet or Smartsheet (which is a the most basic project management birdseye view at this point), not being able to turn off features that you don't want your team to use (like attaching documents to tasks instead of putting in a folder).

### "Adobe workfront é recomendável?"

October 6, 2023

5.0

So far I'm enjoying the program, I haven't had any problems with the system or any bad experiences yet.

Pros

helps keep all updates on what is happening, The platform provides complete visibility into the progress of projects and tasks, allowing managers to know which activities are ongoing, delayed or completed

Cons

The cost of Adobe Workfront can be significant, especially for small businesses and organizations with limited budgets. System implementation and maintenance, as well as user licenses, can represent a substantial investment.

### "A very useful tool, easy to use and with a very dynamic interface."

March 18, 2018

5.0

Workfront is second to none, keeping the relevant communications for the project in one place to help you eliminate inefficient emails, lost notes or tedious reports.

Pros

Workfront provided me with an alternative approach by allowing team members to check their workloads, so they have a realistic view of the completion dates that can be obtained. The licensing options also provide transparency to interested parties, external consultants and members involved in the project who are not part of the team.

### "Best in breed, but could improve the fundamentals"

May 8, 2019

5.0

Requests come in from across our hospital for changes and fixes to clinical systems. In many cases, the requests can be resolved without becoming projects. Those that are converted to projects can take weeks to years to complete.

Pros

I like what Workfront does with regards to work management and resource management.

Cons

The request management features could be better.

### "Great Control of Project Requests and Asset Management"

October 1, 2015

4.0

Workfront has enabled our in-house marketing department to reign in the daily exercise of constant project requests that come from every corner of our corporation across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. These requests - which usually include phone calls, emails, sticky notes and employees looming over our desks - also were either lacking critical information or were half-baked ideas to start and just wasted our time. By directing these requests through Workfront, we can control the information required for submission and get everything that we need up front. When a valid request becomes a project we can actually work on, our management team can also review each team's workload at a glance and assign tasks as necessary. When the higher ups ask for a report on what your team is doing, you can forget about scrambling to compile metrics and asking each employee to jot down a rough guestimate of hours worked. Reporting is as simple as pulling up your customized dashboard, setting the report parameters, and sending the resulting graph up the chain.

Pros

\- fantastic customer support - implementation is in-depth and 100% custom - user-friendly interface - mobile app for on-the-go management

Cons

\- reports you generate are lackluster in design - initial sticker shock makes it hard to get started - the education and implementation seem like more of a burden than they're worth at the beginning, which can delay adoption

### "Company development and management"

January 5, 2023

5.0

The tool assists in project management, in the development of marketing and merchandising work, in the development of tasks and in the development of the team

Pros

Easy-to-access tool that enables better work management, integrating people and data, so we have more satisfactory results.

Cons

could create a free version of the program, as not all companies can afford the product.

### "Pricing for higher ed"

May 7, 2019

4.0

Have actual time for project work has opened our eyes to the fact that we are not great at estimating our work.

Pros

It is very feature rich. Time entry is super easy and we are just starting to use the Resource Planning which is very cool thus far! It is clear that Workfront used best in class design for this new module.

Cons

It is not well suited to the developers who need to update their information. The cost is very prohibitive for expansion in higher ed. We cannot afford Fusion or to expand our planner licenses to improve adoption across the college.

### "Workfront Review"

June 3, 2019

4.0

We have noticed a considerable improvement in collaboration across teams

Pros

I like the ability for multiple users to have full visibility of projects, tasks and timelines and to loop in other stakeholders as necessary. We have also made great use of the ability to proof and approve documents using the proofing tool and using the DAM for finalising pieces of collateral.

Cons

It feels like reports and dashboards are overly detailed and cumbersome to achieve. Also distilling email notifications into what people actually need can also be difficult.

### "We use it as our project tracking software. It's easy to use and add notes and users to."

April 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ease of creating a request for the team to go in and do their updates and changes. You can assign roles to different users.

Cons

You really need to know how to do the set up to enable everyone is getting notifications. Sometimes people don't remember to check emails or emails go into their junk.

### "Easy to track our project tasks"

April 10, 2023

5.0

I have experience using adobe workfront for few months and with that me and my team was able to work more efficiently and collaboratively to deliver products on time.

Pros

Team members shared their documents and files through this and communicated with each others. We tracked our progress of assigned tasks and can integrate with other popular tools like jira and salesforce. I can say that using this software we were able to communicate and collaborate easily and that increased the productivity of final outcome.

Cons

For that limited time period of using this tool, I didn't experience any limitations.

### "Useful and Helpful Work Management Tool"

May 7, 2019

4.0

User adoption has been a little bit of a challenge. Although our management supports Workfront, they aren't big users themselves. My team needs to ensure that we show the benefits to management and show the full functionality of the tool.

Pros

All project information is stored in one place and I can easily pull reports and information at any point in time. Before Workfront, we used an excel spreadsheet and it wouldn't get updated correctly, people would forget to check it in (it was stored on SharePoint) and the links to the consolidated version would constantly break.

Cons

Some of the customization isn't as user-friendly as I would like it to be but customer service is always helpful and can usually solve any issue that I have.

### "Good software for project management, but it may be overkill and is expensive"

March 7, 2018

5.0

Good software but may be overkill for what you need. You'll definitely stay organized, but it's really hard to get this thing customized to your needs.

Pros

The software is pretty good and easy to use. I used this software because that's what my former employer used for the development team. Pretty easy to get around, lots of options, and good quality.

Cons

The software seems a bit overkill for anyone who isn't a software developer. I tried to use it for marketing, but their Kanban ability was lacking - may have improved. But it's like Salesforce - has a lot of bells and whistles, so do you really need it all? Go with a free option like Trello if budget is a consideration.
