If I have issue-level data and project-level data that I need to see, with some custom coding, you can do some of it in a report, but in general, if you have a lot of that blended data between levels, you need to use a dashboard, which requires two different reports due to the difficulty in pulling data at the different levels into one thing.

Adobe Workfront Specialist at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Have faced limitations in functionality and dependability while trying to streamline project management workflows
One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is that we can immediately track each project. We can keep track of all tasks with the help of milestones that we can add to a project. We can monitor everything effectively. The utilization and workload balancer allows us to clearly see if a person is over-utilized or if they are not getting utilized to at least 80 or 90%. This enables better tracking and work assignment with improved clarity. We use custom dashboards in Adobe Workfront to see all statuses. The integration capabilities with other software are quite good, with straightforward connectivity. We have HTTP connectors if we need to connect with external systems via APIs. If we have any API endpoint for any external tool, we can connect it with Adobe Workfront using Fusion. Reporting is a major part of Adobe Workfront, making it not just a workflow management tool but also a tool where we can get data and present it to executives through comprehensive reporting.
