Adobe Workfront doesn't stack well with these other tools. monday.com and Airtable have great interfaces and are very easy to set up and use. That is what my team currently uses.

Chose Adobe Workfront
I like both Jira and Asana. They both help streamline campaign processes and provide visibility into the work being completed by multiple departments. However, with Workfront, it syncs with other Adobe products, giving it an edge over other products.
Chose Adobe Workfront
Adobe Workfront has been a great alternative to those other tools because it allows us to do everything the other tools can do, plus so much more.
Chose Adobe Workfront
Proofing was night and day. Automation doesn't compare.
Chose Adobe Workfront
AEM is a little bit easier to use. We selected Workfront as we already have a contract and relationship with Adobe through AEM services, and for integration purposes.
Chose Adobe Workfront
JIRA is better for the day to day type work that is done by individuals or teams, Adobe Workfront excels at the high level day to day work that is done by an entire organization.
Chose Adobe Workfront
Adobe Workfront reminds me of Filemaker Pro. Especially in the way you can customize it (and the way you have to build it - it's not an out of the box solution at all).
Chose Adobe Workfront
I like the look and feel for Adobe Workfront better. It's cleaner and easier to read my work order. Asana looks a bit TOO complicated to navigate and often time it's harder to find things.

But I do like Asana's tabs better than Adobe Workfront. I like Adobe Workfront's pin …

Adobe Workfront has far better reporting capabilities and communication options. It also has better and more in depth metaproperty options
Pipefy
Chose Pipefy
We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and …
Chose Pipefy
Pipefy is very process-oriented and not task or project-oriented. Other tools might offer different views such as the Gantt chart that makes a lot of sense if the project you are working on requires it. But Pipefy is better when the complexity of the process demands automation …
Chose Pipefy
Trello is a much simpler tool in general ways, it does not provide nearly 1/100 of the customization from papery. Also, Trello seems to be stuck in the past, the design never got refreshed, and on Pipefy, they are constantly keeping up the design fresh and beautiful.
Chose Pipefy
Pipefy was suggested by our new developer and we switched from Freshdesk. It was a lot better looking and easy to navigate. We used Google Forms at first but that isn't really what you should be using to keep track of bugs. Freshdesk focused more on the outside of the …
Chose Pipefy
I used Pipedrive at another company to organize quotes. I really liked the software but it wasn't what I was looking for for our company.

Likelihood to Recommend
It works super well for creative brief intake and brand reviews. It took us more time than I'm willing to admit to get it all set up, but for our limited use case, it's working very well now. I'm not sure where it wouldn't be a good fit, honestly. As a newer user, it's still something I'm getting to know and learn.

Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.

Cons
  • Provide additional free training demonstrations
  • Allow more customization for hide unused tools
  • Allow nonusers to add requests, our organization has no need to add all 10,000+ team members to Adobe Workfront, but would like them to be able to send requests to our team

Workfront is sometimes a bit clunky to use, but overall it works well for our teams when it comes to project management and collaboration across multiple, involved teams. It also has flexibility that allows us to adapt it to diverse use cases, some of which aren't necessarily always the first things that one would think of using workfront for.

Usability
Workfront is overly complex, but it is functional as a tool to keep track of projects. It is a shame that sometimes it takes a lot of clicks to find anything. Workfront is slowly modernizing its interface but at the same time, hides certain information away thus making the experience feels worse.

Reliability and Availability
Maintenance is required, but usually after work hours, Some days the proofing tool function is not operational, but this is a new function of the tool that WF is working out. the kinks on. Chrome is the best browser to use the system in and we find Firefox and Explorer lose some view functionality - Gantt Chart, Resource Grid

Performance
I think overall, Adobe Workfront performs well. There have been some times when it doesn't load or run as quickly as our team would like. This is frustrating when it is such a crucial tool that our team utilizes on a daily basis. It can show our workflow when it lags.

Support Rating
I know that this particular company has it's own Adobe Workfront employee that builds out things they need from the software, and meets with them regularly to troubleshoot. I'm not part of this process, but it's refreshing to see Adobe provide this level of customer service to people, and they're expedient.

Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept

The training is very easy to use and you can simply choose the topics included in the course(s) that are most important to your training needs. After each training course, you are tested on what you have learned. If you need a refresher course, they provide Course Catalogs as well as instructor-led courses & workshops.

Implementation Rating
The most important thing that you can do when implementing Workfront is to have your back end data prepared ahead of time. What resources are in what departments? What amount of allocatable hours does each employee have? What are the cost models for each employee and resource? Having all of this information available will allow you to fully utilize Workfront's features.

Much increased functionality and templating aspects. While I liked JIRA's setup, the Workfront is so much more flexible. The moving away from Jira i was able to show the possibilities of what a full pm software could accommodate and how it all connected in. Also, the pluses of connectivity with the Adobe suite for our creative teams were excellent. From providing updates within other programs, it allowed a much more fluid working process and instant communication.

We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.

Scalability
We have been using Workfront for about 3 years. During this time they continue to be a very stable project management system. Workfront's overall scalability is able to handle increased loads of work. When using Workfront for a project management tool for the web team, we store documents, images & video's without any issues. They work with their customer's to provide the best project management system in the market today! I highly recommend Workfront for all project management needs. Workfront strives to deliver unique technology solutions to growing companies!
