Adobe Workfront

Pros

It is so great to have a one-stop-shop for all projects, that's easy to search on. Plus, it's amazing that the person who is up next with a task, gets an alert that they can start.

Cons

Manging sharing permissions of docs and project access can be a bit cumbersome at first but gets easier as you learn the system more.

Pros

Adobe Workfront is filled with thoughtful and effective tools to get work done easily and efficiently.

Cons

I have run across no problems with Adobe Workfront.

Pros

For the teams I work on at my organization, moving from four distinct platforms—ServiceNow, Excel, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Project—to one platform has been a lifesaver when it comes to project intake, planning, and execution. We developed our own workflows, taught our submitters on a single system, and subsequently trained our PMs on the same system. One benefit I really enjoy is that we may add new features and modifications at any time.

Cons

It does take some getting used to the program. In order to become familiar with the terminology (tasks vs. projects, dashboards, and reports), a significant amount of onboarding typically occurs. From the standpoint of my team, we utilized our onboarding sessions to personalize dashboards for each team member. Both the designers' and copywriters' dashboards are separate. Thus, even while the intricacy is a drawback, there is a lot of room for additional customization.

Pros

It is able to let me edit and review HIPPA documents and keep the information private.

Cons

It is costly to have this software so I don't have it for personal use.

Pros

Workfront facilitates the creation, delegation, prioritization, and seamless delivery of projects, ultimately leading to increased productivity. To put it briefly, it simplifies work and project administration."

Cons

Report generation in Workfront can be a challenging effort for developers at times, since there are instances where building a report requires access to non-existent objects and instances where applying a filter yields inaccurate results, necessitating assistance from Adobe Fusion.

Pros

Integrations are great, and the calendar capability was really helpful for us in communicating externally what our team was working on.

Cons

I also get frustrated sometimes with the way that comments and updates can get "trapped" at a task level and you can end up having to click around for a while to find a conversation.

Pros

Adobe Workfront offered everything needed from a project management software and was amazing to work with. It included a proofing system and an ability to keep up with numerous projects.

Cons

The cost was immense compared to other project management softwares.

There isn't anything. Adobe Workfront is ideal for my team and for me to keep up with my teams needs.

Adobe Workfront provides a platform to create a project, share tasks, assign resources, communicate, and monitor progress. This improves productivity and ensures my team delivers within the set deadline. It is easy to know who is doing a certain task and leave a comment or share files they need to complete the task. I also like customization features, which allow us to display what is important based on the project at hand.

Cons

New users always find it challenging at first due to the learning curve but later appreciate it when they get used to Adobe Workfront. The user interface needs attention to make new users like it and immediately get the hang of it. I also feel like the price is relatively high.

Pros

Workfront is one of Adobe's best offerings. It keeps me on track and helps me stay organized.

Cons

I can't afford to keep it. I use several other products that are imperative to have.

Pros

Pros

I love the intuitive task management and seamless integration with other Adobe products, making collaboration and workflow more efficient.

Cons

It can have a bit of a learning curve for new users, but once familiar, it's very powerful.

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.

Pros

One can read any type of PPT or pdf and can convert it freely.

Cons

One have to pay to edit the pdf 😂 you have to purchase premium version of it.

Pros

What I like most about Adobe Workfront is its ability to centralize project management, making collaboration across teams seamless

Cons

What I liked least about Adobe Workfront is its complexity for new users, as it can take time to fully understand and navigate the platform

Pros

Here are a couple things I found beneficial. Real time updates, being able to customize the workflow, the collaboration features and the mobile feature.

Cons

When it comes to abobe it’s never cheap.

Pros

Managing multiple business lines with ability to manage and tag departments if I needed creative or mark test completed

Cons

There were a lot of redundant pages that seems to need to be merged or closed

Pros

I love the ability to create BOLD, colorful charts, calendars, schedules, timelines etc. For whatever reason my team currently seems to respond best to visuals that are in bold like writing and have bright colors! This is perfect software in order to create all of those things!

Cons

It's taken me a while to get the hang of things. For some of the staff who have been around a long time, this software appears to intimidate them in someway because it does look very complicated when you first maneuver it.

Pros

Ease of use and implementation into current workplace needs.

Cons

I wasn’t a fan of the price. Being a small business, I have to be very careful with my funds.

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

Pros

Easy to navigate the pages. On a everyday base I'm using Adobe and I really like the features for adding content to my worksheets.

Cons

Sometimes the navigation changes without notice.

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.

Pros

The best thing is the pricing and how much detailed it is

Cons

although it is very detailed, the problem is the complex Ui. it took me a while to get used to it

Pros

The product allows us a greater grasp of digital presence such as media and marketing tasks/goals. It makes it very easy to delegate projects as well.

Cons

Could use with a better onboarding or training course, it takes a while to learn everything this product can do, which isn't a bad thing, but the barebones functions take a while as well to figure out.

Pros

I like that the program is user friendly and easy to navigate.

Cons

There’s nothing I didn’t like about the program

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.

Pros

Adobe has a vast amount of features that you wouldn't expect! It had very detailed and easy to understand features.

Cons

Only a certain amount of devices can be linked to an account.

Pros

What I liked most about Adobe Workfront was its simple and intuitive interface. It allows you to clearly view and manage all projects, tasks and resources comprehensively on a single platform. Its carefully designed interface makes the learning curve very low, allowing any user to start using its powerful management tools in no time

Cons

What I liked least was some limitations in advanced customization of views and panels. Although by default it comes with configurations that allow you to functionally view the information, for larger and more complex projects I needed to make some customizations that I could not easily specify from the interface. This required support from the support team on some occasions

Pros

Very intuitive. It was easy to figure out how to do what I needed to do.

Cons

It felt like I had to click a lot to accomplish tasks.

Pros

Able to make PDF files well, Keeps great track of PDFs

Cons

Has a hard time saving PDFs, Doesn't have enough storage for large files.

Pros

Workfront's simplicity combined with its potent task management, workflow automation, and collaboration features make it a favorite among business users. For those who enjoy technology, we found the integration features with popular systems like Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Experience Cloud, SAP, and ServiceNow to be quite appealing.

Cons

Because Workfront is easy to use and eliminates unnecessary procedures, it's a terrific tool for designers. Document management is a really helpful tool for designers in this situation.

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.
