I am able to stay in the know with my remotely run company. This product has given me the confidence to move forth after the mess and stress of the pandemic.

Pros

I truly enjoyed the fact that this product gave us hope to continue functioning 100% while still having to work remotely. This has enabled us as a whole to still build clientele all while staying on the same page with all employees with task management.

Cons

I really have nothing really negative to say. I guess this is just a product that is only as successful for you as what you put into it. Meaning it can be as simplistic and as basic as you want it to but it also can be really in depth and intricate as well. You get what you give.

I have had a positive experience with Adobe Workfront. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, and it provides powerful tools for project management, task management, and resource management. It is also highly customizable, allowing us to tailor our workflow for our specific needs. The customer service has been excellent, and the support staff have been very helpful in providing assistance and solutions to any issues we encountered. Overall, I would highly recommend Adobe Workfront as an effective project management solution.

Pros

One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is its scalability. It is designed to be able to accommodate teams of any size and complexity, and it is able to easily adapt to changes in your business. This makes it great for teams that are constantly growing and changing. The software is incredibly user friendly and has a wide range of features that make it easy to manage and track projects. It also has a robust reporting system that can help you to quickly identify areas of improvement. Finally, Adobe Workfront has excellent customer support and a knowledgeable support team that can help you if you ever need assistance.

Cons

The biggest con of Adobe Workfront is the lack of customization options. While the platform offers a range of features, it can be difficult to customize the software to meet specific needs. The cost of the software can be prohibitive for some businesses.The user interface can be confusing and unintuitive, making it difficult for users to quickly learn and understand the software.

It's worth a look, but missing a few key features for myself

Reviewed on 19/8/2018

Pros

I used to think Workfront was terrible, until I tried other enterprise level project management software. I'm not saying it's the best, far from it, but I think you start to appreciate it more after you realize what a herculean task it is to track everything. It does a decent job of letting you know what you're responsible for, with helpful email notifications so you don't need to always be in the tool. And once you get those notifications it's easy to respond directly in email or link to the project/task at hand and respond or make changes there. The really killer feature is the proofing tool, which despite some grumbling is one of the best out there. It allows commenting and markups of all types and allows you to do so in context. It also does versioning of the proofs, which is super helpful to go back to to remember what was marked up prior or changed. All in all it gets the job done but it's not particularly a pleasure to use, other than the proofing tool.

Cons

Not the most user friendly or aesthetic. The dashboard could use some better UX. I tried out a beta of the new dashboard and that was even worse, glad they didn't roll it out. The one big negative is the lack of a proper calendar module. I heard that one exists but for version my company uses, we don't have anything remotely resembling a calendar view. This is so helpful to me to get a view of milestones and deadlines coming up, without having to do the mental gymnastics of looking at a list view of tasks and figuring out what my priorities are. While the proofing tool is amazing (see pros) it does have a couple of missing features. One is the ability to mark comments as completed or resolved without having to do a response, and the only is to somehow create a linear history and relationship of the markups through the versioning system, so you see the evolution of them. Also, the whole idea of creating percentages done of a task seems so arbitrary to me. Even my company doesn't take much stock in it. We basically leave things at 0% until we absolutely need to mark things as 100% complete in order to not risk being at risk or to move on to the next task that's dependent on the prior one.

Enhance Efficiency with Adobe Workfront: A Premier Project Management Solution

Now, let me discuss the problems Adobe Workfront has helped solve in my work and the resulting benefits. One of the most significant challenges we faced before using Workfront was the lack of transparency and coordination across projects. It was difficult to keep everyone on the same page and ensure tasks were completed on time. With Workfront, we have achieved better visibility and communication, which has greatly improved collaboration within our team. The centralized platform has eliminated the need for multiple tools and spreadsheets, saving us time and reducing errors. Additionally, the automated workflow processes have streamlined our project management, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.

Pros

First of all, let me talk about what I like the most about Adobe Workfront. The platform provides a comprehensive project management and collaboration solution that greatly streamlines our workflow. One of the standout features is the ability to easily plan and assign tasks, allowing us to keep track of progress and deadlines efficiently. The centralized dashboard gives us a clear overview of ongoing projects, helping us prioritize and allocate resources effectively. The collaboration tools, such as document sharing and real-time communication, foster teamwork and enhance productivity. I also appreciate the customizable reporting options, which enable us to generate insightful analytics and measure project performance.

Cons

Moving on to areas for improvement, there are a few things that could be enhanced in Adobe Workfront. Firstly, the user interface can feel a bit overwhelming, especially for new users. Simplifying and streamlining the interface would improve the overall user experience. Secondly, while the platform offers a wide range of features, it can be challenging to find specific functionalities at times. Enhancing the search and navigation capabilities would make it easier to locate and utilize the desired tools. Lastly, although the reporting features are robust, the process of creating custom reports could be more intuitive and user-friendly.
