Workfront is a great project management system for our team

4.0 last year

Comments: By organizing and tracking our project activities, we can see how the workflow impacts the timing of individual tasks, which is a problem that Workfront helps us tackle.

Pros:

Workfront's extensive toolset is fantastic. As a result, we are able to keep track of projects and documents in one easily accessible spot, perfect for audits and other record-keeping needs.

Cons:

Workfront's high degree of complexity in setting up individual projects is one of its drawbacks. There is a steep learning curve that might slow down user adoption due to the interface's subpar design and abundance of options that make navigation difficult.

All in one Shared Efficient Platform

4.0 3 months ago

Pros:

It provides an integrated shared platform, which helps users view and edit Outlook and team files through a single platform. It's easy to use and also user-friendly. Although it does not have a free plan, I recommend people buy it as it's totally worth the cost.

Cons:

The cost of buying the plans is quite expensive especially for third-world countries of Asia and Africa. As these areas have a large number of potential customers. It is better if, cost can be decreased

Managing All the Work - Using Workfront

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Workfront is a product I still recommend to this day. And I started using it 10 years ago! It's intuitive in design, robust in the scope of work it can manage and organize, and allows for teams, such as national ones, to increase their productivity, clarity and understanding of work's purpose.

Pros:

When I first started working at Advance Auto Parts, there was no project management system in place for the eCommerce team. At first, we used SharePoint, but after a year of getting by, we had a proper Workfront implementation and never looked back. We were Waterfall, not Agile, in our project management process; and while Workfront has enhanced their Agile capabilities over the years, it simplified our work management overnight. With our team spread out between California, Minnesota and North Carolina, real-time updates and ease of use for the tool was critical. Workfront delivered both. Thanks to that tool, I was the only project manager on staff for a good while and remained able to manage the entire flow.

Cons:

As we expanded and sought to do more robust reporting, there was resistance to using what was generated, or could be screen-captured from Workfront vs. the fixed mindset of using PowerPoint. Having more dynamic imagery in the project report-outs would have been of benefit.

Workfront helps us make projects more efficient

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: We can quickly and easily generate reports that are informative and easy to read thanks to the reporting tools. Workfront is a crucial component of our company's workflow, and it comes with outstanding support from knowledgeable experts whenever we have questions or concerns.

Pros:

We really like how Workfront simplifies project creation because to its intuitive UI, portability across platforms, and task-setting flexibility. It automatically refreshes all of the data, so we can view the most recent updates to team projects at any moment.

Cons:

Sometimes Workfront's capabilities fall short of what I need, and that makes me frustrated. As an added complication, overlapping task deadlines might make it look like a project is falling behind schedule when, in reality, it is just running a little behind schedule.

Adobe Workfront is the platform you love to hate

4.0 10 months ago

Pros:

Workfront streamlines task management and in-depth processes. Its deep customization abilities allow you to tailor the tool to meet your company's needs and specific processes.

Cons:

Workfront has a clean UI and looks friendly, but there are a lot of links behind the scenes between tasks, projects, etc. To master this takes a lot of practice and is a steep learning curve. My previous workplace just used Workfront for timesheets, which made it much easier.

extremely convenient and efficient, for tracking progress and collaborating

4.0 last year

Pros:

I have a fondness, for the Workfront software because of its project management capabilities. One feature that stands out to me the most is its ability to consolidate and simplify all project related tasks and information in a location. This makes it incredibly convenient and efficient, for tracking progress collaborating with team members and maintaining organization. Furthermore I find the softwares user friendly interface particularly attractive. It is intuitive and effortless to navigate enabling me to access the tools and features without any complications.

Cons:

Although I believe that Workfront is a project management software there are aspects that I find less favorable. A major downside is the softwares complexity, which can be overwhelming, for newcomers trying to navigate and comprehend all of its features and functionalities. The learning curve can be quite steep requiring some time to grasp and make use of all its capabilities.

User review, 3 years of experience

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Since my internship at the university, I started using it and it helps me in my short projects.

Pros:

Projects can be tracked in real time, through dashboards and panels displaying key information. It also allows you to create reports on delivery efficiency and other indicators.

Cons:

Depending on your projects you will choose one product or another, I consider that its performance is optimal for small projects. But for larger projects perhaps looking for another option would be more appropriate.
