I wasn't with this company when the buying decision was made. However, Workfront replaced Mavenlink, and what I could gather is Mavenlink was liked by users, but the owners and administrators wanted more reporting and more automation. For me, Workfront is far superior to MS …
They don't compare... People say that MS Project is easier to use... But where's the reporting? You can't perform resource allocation with a drag and drop, nor can you build the dynamic reports that Workfront provides. Not to mention automatically distribute those reports at …
Workfront lands in the middle between MS Project and Basecamp. Basecamp was too simplistic and didn't provide enough core project / task management features. MS Project was too rigid and difficult to share project information. Workfront has the right mix of project / task …
Enovia is a product lifecycle tool, so not a good match for a marketing team. Basecamp and MS Project are comparable but we went with Workfront. The newly added Fusion is important to consider. With hundreds of integrations available, it will streamline your workflow across …
JIRA and Clarizen were too complicated and did not offer an integrated document review and proofing system. Microsoft Project did not handle multiple small projects and resource allocation as well. Smartsheet was too limited for large teams and required too much manual work.
Workfront is a really highly powerful tool that can be a bit over-matched for typical project management tools like Microsoft Project or other project management programs. It does a great job with medium to large projects with medium complexity. It helps significantly to …
Far easier to use than MS Project, easier to navigate and learn, but far more complex (albeit more functionally sophisticated as well) than Smartsheet.
We liked the flexibility and ease of creating custom forms and fields. We also felt that they were heading in the right direction and growing as a company.
Better user interface and way more flexible. It is possible to change many aspects of the reporting and landing pages even internally in the same company, depending on the working groups and needs, with great satisfaction among different people involved and with easy steps to …
I've evaluated more than just this list but can't recall them all right now. See other comments, but Workfront has far better flexibility and "programmability" in a rather easy and intuitive way (no programming skills actually required). It can generally do everything the …
For our current needs, Workfront does the job. We have used additional products in the past (MS Project) and whereas we didn't have any issues, we do think we will be sticking to this product for the foreseeable future. I can't see us making any changes anytime soon. Great …
Our previous system was home-brewed Sharepoint, mostly for note-taking and online tracking as we routed physical job jackets, scanned documents and emailed them to one another. It was fine for its time but as we expanded not just in volume but in location (offices went from NY …
The fact that it is web based and can be viewed by anyone at anytime is huge for viability and transparency within the company. It is also much more user friendly and seems to have taken out the guess work out of building a project plan and allocating/determining timelines.
We selected in the end Workfront over the other PM tools evaluated due to ease of use for the levels of our users, capacity planning options and good value for the price it has. Also now that is has support and online training included in the price it an easy way to manage the …
Ease of use, and the availability of the workfront community, training and now the recent Portland user group round table, make this the ideal solution for us. The program is ideal for our PMO, the staff and leadership in that it is intuitive, robust and meets all of our …
When shopping for a project management system, Workfront was the clear winner for our group. The proofing tool, mobile app and product features were far superior to all other products we reviewed and saw demos of.

At the end of the day, Microsoft Project still is best in class overall. It isn't as specialized as some tools like Trello or JIRA, but especially with new integration with Planner and native support for Agile project management templates it becomes a lot closer. Microsoft …
While many of the above tools are extremely well-versed, Microsoft Project's largest advantage comes from it being related to the largest business productivity company in the world. Project does have its sharing limitations - but regardless, offers one of the most robust tools …
Microsoft Project has more robust planning capabilities than Workfront and much more than Excel. If you already have a project selection process in place and/or you need a tool to help project out dates based on inputs of worker availability and estimated hours or duration then …
