### "More than a tool for creative org "

May 8, 2019

5.0

Projects of all sizes - variety of skill sets managing work, increased transparency to stakeholders

Pros

I love the flexibility in configuring different types of work, Agile, Waterfall, business, IT, big, small,

Cons

I am frustrated with what seems to me to be a large contradiction - Operational System of Record - vs - Focus on Creative Organizations - recent enhancements and Community Idea exchange are skewed because of the number of Creative clients. From an enterprise standpoint, a bit disconcerting .

### "With the use of Workfront we have streamlined our processes and met all project deadlines."

May 1, 2018

4.0

Reporting and allocations metrics. Projects are managed by a system that standardizes processes. With the use of Workfront we have identified efficiencies, streamlined our processes and met all project deadlines.

Pros

Reporting and allocations metrics. Projects are managed by a system that standardizes processes. With the use of Workfront we have identified efficiencies, streamlined our processes and met all project deadlines.

Cons

When trying to onboard new users I've created tools and emails. I'll schedule meetings to answer any questions but will come across issues with comprehension of the platform. The management of duration dates have proven to be a troublesome for project owners. I will always do a "clean up sweep" .

### "New and Exciting Insight"

May 7, 2019

4.0

Overall, my experience has been very positive. It's made me a better project manager and has given me great insight to numerous areas of my job that I didn't have in my previous platform.

Pros

I love the endless possibilities of the software and how you can make it a unique experience for any user. There are so many different ways to gather information and that helps with ease of adoption for different types of personalities. In just the 4 months we've launched, I've gained more insight to capacity and hour limitations, amount of projects we're taking on, and ease of communication/"paper trails" for different pieces throughout the entire project timeline.

Cons

Ease of learning isn't always the best. I've personally had to spend countless hours outside of working hours to learn more and dive into issues. (I will say, Workfront Help Desk is absolutely amazing and has taken away numerous negative thoughts) The constant challenge I'm faced with is trying to reduce the number of clicks to get to the information I'm looking for - the same for my coworkers. The ease of trying to figure out a way to reduce the number of clicks is something that I haven't quite mastered either.

### "Making management more manageable "

July 5, 2023

5.0

My overall experience has been great. It really helps me get organized with projects.

Pros

Task management is my go to for this app! I am always able to schedule tasks for everyone and see their progress.

Cons

Adobe is kind of a complex app. If you don't really know where to look more than likely you will have to ask for help. But the help bar is VERY helpful.

### "Great platform our organization uses for several project/time tracking activities"

February 7, 2018

5.0

Our team uses this to track client service and installation projects. It does a very good job at this. Further, our employees track their daily time usage down to specific projects with the time sheet functionality. This keeps our team focused.

Pros

The most useful aspect of Workfront is the ability to create relationships between users and projects. Many levels of authority and usability allows for the software to configure itself to your project needs.

Cons

The most troubling aspect of Workfront is that it has a steep learning curve. For someone that is starting to use the software, there are a lot of terms and functionality that needs to be explored that isn't as intuitive as can be.

### "Overall very good project & portfolio management software but missing some standard functions."

November 1, 2017

4.0

It has helped me be more organized and has saved valuable time. I no longer need to create weekly status reports since we have realtime reports built into Workfront.

Pros

The software is easy to understand and use for project management. You can create schedule templates with a basic set of tasks and milestones which is a timesaver.

Cons

Very confusing process for resource capacity planning; mediocre customer service after implementation.

### "Adobe Workfront for Projects"

February 27, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like that you can comment within the platform for others to review or comment.

Cons

Lack of visibility when seeing who the individual is needed for the next approval versus just the department.

### "Project Organization and Report-Out Relief!"

May 7, 2019

5.0

We have solved the confusion that Excel and email bring to the table as the main tools for managing projects. Email drives me crazy...

Pros

I love that Workfront makes every view a report and every task easy to track. We have projects that run from very high number of tasks to low as well as we use both waterfall and agile methodologies. Workfront can support it all - boom!

Cons

Text mode for building reports - blah! Not always necessary but when it comes to creating collections, text mode is the only way.

### "Highly flexible product for Project Management"

April 12, 2017

4.0

Workfront has come a LONG way in the last 3 years. If you saw it before and havent looked recently, take another look. The tool is a great place to call your single source of truth. By configuring to your needs, you can make it easy for your people to keep their data up-to-date. While the basics are great, and some extensions are really nice, it provides only rudimentary capability to track business value of the projects. For that, you'll probably need to go offline or create additional custom data elements.

Pros

Highly flexible. Easy to navigate. Love the ability to easily provide a customized front end for groups of users via the layout templates. On top of all that, the training and support is excellent!

Cons

Limited capability to track planned and actual benefits.

May 5, 2021

Pros

The software is easy to navigate and quickly understandable.

Cons

The UI is basic. There are no tools to further organize projects and tasks further than their due date. More customizable options would be ideal.

### "Work Front is the one you are looking for"

October 7, 2019

5.0

Work front actually aids me when I am overcome with a lot of work. Work front aids me a lot to consume an effective and positive work and plan administration. That method, I can have all my plans finalized in period and without any misunderstanding.

Pros

By using work front I gets the authority to modernize all of the needs or tactics and arranges the critical plans. It also assistances me to rise efficiency, collect vital data and work with proficiently as it allows me to chain all my effort in one result. By using the work front it also aids me to achieve a lot of procedures, get all of the reports from my squad. The Work front is one of the advance management podium that I like it because it helps me to arrange all my work in a solo platform.

Cons

I ponder that its strategy is not related at all and as far as the supervision of it is linked, education is quite widespread, it needs adequate period to grip it totally and properly. The problem with work front is that it does not bid a lot of branding choices particularly for initiative customers. The issue that the stage can be modified can be a difficulty at the similar time since sufficient period is essential for it.

### "Extremely comprehensive project management tool"

May 7, 2020

5.0

Fantastic experience with Workfront. It added value to every single day of my work, making things easier and more efficient.

Pros

If your business makes the effort to really integrate this project the way it should be, it's limitless in its functionality and value. You can do just about anything project management related with Workfront.

Cons

It can be overwhelming when first starting to use it. Maybe finding a way to ease people into it a bit better (some kind of training journey), could be useful.

### "Workfront is the clunkiest, least intuitive software I've ever used."

March 8, 2018

1.0

I honestly don't see many benefits to this software at all.

Pros

The best thing I can say about Workfront is that it's easy to create new projects at the most basic level. Otherwise, I prefer not to use it.

Cons

There are too many steps involved in creating anything or updating projects. There is so much clutter to get through, it's hard to retrieve earlier messages. Documents often get lost because there are so many different places to house them. The search function is terrible - not helpful at all. Overall, there is just way too much going on in Workfront. It adds so many steps to my projects and there are way too many unnecessary features. It over complicates everything.

### "Project Management made easy"

August 18, 2017

4.0

Pros

You can set dates in all tasks of a project, assign it to team mates, calculate all the money that it needs, days to start and finish tasks, problems, and many more. It's easy for the finance team to see wheather a project is profitable or not.

Cons

I found the implementation process very time consuming and would have preferred to get more hands on experience before choosing settings.

### "Happy so far!"

September 18, 2015

4.5

Pros

The product is very easy to use and most of tools provided are easily used or ignored if your companies processes and workflows don't need them. The Workfront consultants we've worked with so far have been great. They're all accommodating and want us to be successful. And the resources we can look at on our own without needing to talk to someone are also pretty great. The videos or schedule training sessions are helpful in giving high-level overviews of the software and how things work. The company also pushes upgrades to the software on a regular basis. I've seen several great improvements come across that tweak how easy it is to do things in the system.

Cons

Lot's of small nit-picky things. There are bugs here and there but they've been pretty minor and solved by the Workfront teams pretty quickly. The help articles are less helpful as they're fairly generic and don't specifically describe what fields will do/won't do. A lot of that has come through trial an error. Example, there's a required field for Group when you set up a project in the system. The Help Article alludes to this helping share access to the project with that group. Come to find out, this field doesn't do anything at all. The tool has just been upgraded and improved a couple times and the help articles aren't up-to-date to tell you any of that.

### "Workfront offers incredible flexibility and reporting"

September 28, 2015

5.0

Pros

I absolutely love the user interface and the ability to customize layouts to display exactly the information my users need to get their work done efficiently. Allowing field editing inside views and dashboards is pure genius. Creating custom forms is easy and gives me the flexibility to collect all of the information needed for tasks, issues, projects, requests, etc., and the ability to update these as my company evolves. Reporting is very powerful and we are now using charts and graphs to quickly identify projects and tasks that need attention. Customer support and other services like training, webinars, consulting, user forums, etc. are all top rate. LEAP 2015 was truly impressive and I highly recommend attending LEAP 2016 (I know I'm looking forward to it!)

Cons

Nothing major comes to mind. There were a few UI-related features that I felt were missing, but the most important ones (to me) have been addressed. Occasionally there are some minor bugs after a software upgrade, but they are always fixed very quickly.

May 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

The pace at which it is being developed, or improved. Workfront is very logical and once you get the hang of it, it reallz shows its value.

Cons

Just because its structire is so logical (for project managers) some users, such as content creators, who are very visual in their work and epectations, get a little confised by the impressive amount of information they are provided with.

### "Its ment to make the process easier but..."

August 22, 2018

3.0

Pros

I think this is a great concept in organizing projects and keeping everyone accounted for in different steps of the process. There are some cool features as well, including proofs and reviewing.

Cons

This is s huge program with tons of features so the learning curve is quite high. There also seems to be a lot of bugs that often cause down time. It's not a very easy tool to use.
