I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved. Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention. Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically.

I would definitely recommend using it because it's a very user-friendly product. As an end user, it's straightforward and intuitive. There are a lot of learning resources available to help you get started. So, definitely go for it. However, from an administrator's point of view, I do have some challenges and concerns. I would rate it an eight out of ten. The reason for this rating is that it's a great tool for end users and customization. However, the reporting aspect can be a bit challenging. It's not easy to generate clear reports within the tool itself. We often use external tools like Tableau for data visualization. If that functionality could be integrated into Workfront, it would be perfect. But overall, it's not perfect in all areas.

Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof. It does not show the comments side by side in the compare mode. A lot of time, we see comments only on one side. The product should improve its efficiency. Certain features are very restricted. Sometimes, I have to export data from Workfront to Microsoft Excel to work on it. The system does not allow us to change calculated fields across all the forms at the same time. If you have one field in a form that is also on ten other forms, we have to delete it from the other forms, reset the formula in one of the forms, add the field back to the ten forms, and refresh the data. It is a long process to get things done, which is time-consuming. We should be able to change a calculated field, which should be automatically implemented across all the forms. This feature is available in the native and custom fields but not in the calculated fields. We have to do it manually. When we do it manually, there is a full chance of error.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."
"Workfront is innovative and these were plenty of features that I found valuable while working at Logitech. Workfront had this feature of Project Schedule Templatization. This saves time and effort and even leads to the standardization of processes that are well-assorted. The Intelligent Graphical Interfaces of Workfront allow one to look at a specific type of resource and a specific phase for a specific family of products. You can get quite granular with the data and even zoom in or out of the timeline. It also categorizes projects according to classes and portfolios so that over time, you can more easily understand what are the various metrics involved in producing a specific portfolioAnother important feature is Workfront allowing you to validate milestones and investigate the project. This also helped me to understand which projects are performing well and whether it was beneficial to invest in the same.The IT and the app configuration is quite secure and it is one of the benefits.One more valuable feature is the integration of communication systems inside Workfront. This helps you differentiate between normal business emails and project-specific conversations. This is also known as ‘queues’ and I absolutely find this feature extremely powerful."
"I can say it is a powerful tool. We have everything in-house in that tool, like, creating reports, dashboards, creating various workflows, and everything we have inside one application."

Room for Improvement

"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."
"I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved.Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention.Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."

Pricing

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a barrier to implementation. It is expensive compared to other competitors.Speaking about licensing, they have a private manager license for $1000, which you can use for administration as well. Then they offer a worker license for $500, and then a reviewer or contributor license which is free."
"Speaking about pricing, I wouldn't recommend it to a smaller company because I do think the price point is higher than other solutions that can work."
