Cons

  • I think there could be a better way to have Adobe Workfront connected to the Adobe apps and be able to share a doc and have it instantly uploaded to Adobe Workfront without having to manually export a PDF and upload it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All of our teams use Workfront to keep track of our project status. While it does work as intended, a lot of times, there are many glitches that would slow down our process. Workfront also relies heavily on AWS, so we were not able to connect to it when AWS is down. Other than that, the software serves us just fine.

Pros

  • We are able to comment anywhere.
  • Uploads are generally quite quick.
  • Every task has a reference number.

Cons

  • Proofs are slow to open.
  • Project tasks can be overly complex.
  • Sometimes slow to function.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for project management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

we use workfront to help us organize projects, keep track of timing, communication, and task management. Our organization is very large, so it helps us make sure we can keep track of all incoming project and make sure we dont miss important deadlines or communications.

Pros

  • task management
  • reminders

Cons

  • improvement in kanban style boards
  • overall more flexibility with how we manage projects

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for project managers to manage regular project. Our team of designers find it difficult to deal with. It's not really good at managing design projects in my opinion.

Solid PM software to for the entire organization to use

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to manage projects across various teams. We could set deadlines, add dependencies and track deliverables across the entire project lifecycle. One project manager would create a project from a template and then assign resources to the project (some assigned automatically, some assigned through traffic management).

Pros

  • Informative dashboard
  • Easy to create templates for repeating projects
  • Time management tools

Cons

  • Not always intuitive for setting cascading deadlines
  • Deliverable proofing tools focused on editing PDFs
  • Reporting output not always formatted "right" on the first try

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for tracking projects that aren't technical/programming focused. There are better PM tools for software development that are more purpose built, but for large scale project management where cross-functional teams are all working together, Workfront is great. It's especially good for tracking creative projects, like an ad campaign or an email blast.

All of the above are a critical part to run several key functions withing the company, Adobe Workfront allows for streamlining of those subjects and makes the data available worldwide.

Pros

  • Document managemnt

Cons

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for a large business that carries out many project per year and want's to keep track of them all. It's also relevant for companies that need to proof and review documents with people that might be across the globe. It's less suited for small companies that might be located in a single location.

Adobe Workfront is like a workboard for our organisation in which each and every employee of can check the overall progress of all the recent projects on whiich we are working.

As we are a service based startup that's why managing different types of workflow has always been one of the integral part of our business and to check who is doing what and the projects are being done on time or not we use this tool all these small things are checked only with the help of Adobe Workfront. As I already said that it is little expensive and may be laggy if we exert too much work pressure on there servers in long run.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are utilising Workfront's flexibility for multiple purposes. Initially, we used it just for timesheeting as a base, but we are gradually adopting improved processes to include project and resource management. All the data we captured in Workfront are fed to our BI tool for more advanced reporting to the team.

Pros

  • Resource Management.
  • Light Configuration.
  • Easy Reporting.

Cons

  • Keep on improving Resource Management Capabilities.
  • Custom Fields - Allow to disabling.
  • More Group level restriction (Custom Form and Fields, Hour Type).
  • Delegate Timesheet Approval.

Likelihood to Recommend

Workfront enables us to manage all our projects effectively while providing a comprehensive overview of team resources. The Resource Planner helps the team identify their capacity to determine whether they are over- or under-allocated. This information is crucial for project planning and ensuring team members do not experience burnout.

Comprehensive management tool

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Adobe Workfront as a tool for managing our many projects and it addresses several business problems for us. One is for project visibility and transparency. All timelines and project details, as well as team member progress are visible to everyone involved which helps everyone stay on the same page. This also optimizes workflow and accelerates the speed of our timelines. We don't have to ask redundant questions or try to find details of projects in a random chat or email. The task automation features also save us time and reduce the risk of human error. That way we can focus more on the strategy and business needs instead of the administrative tasks.

Pros

  • Task Automation
  • Project Visibility
  • Project Status Updates

Cons

  • Performance Issues
  • User Access Issues
  • Complicated Interface for new users

Likelihood to Recommend

Adobe Workfront is great for complex team projects. It helps manage all of the team members that may work on the same project in different ways. It also keeps all team members on track with the status features. Plus, everything is in one place, yet organized into folders and sub tasks, making it easy for everyone to work on their own, yet collaborate as a team.

How my team uses Adobe Workfront and how to get the most out of it

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Adobe Workfront is the strategic Project Management tool for Marketing at [...]. I work as a process owner with system admin access to help teams build and maintain their workflows in the tool. I help them to migrate from other tools the company uses to create a single source of truth in the tool as well.

Pros

  • Connecting with external tools using Fusion automation
  • Managing issues to projects process
  • Intake (Request) forms
  • Project management
  • Being a single source of capabilities for big teams to manage their work

Cons

  • The form builder is very limited. We need more options to format the fields, colors and font format to make the usability more user friendly.
  • The interface is not user friendly, people find really hard to understand how to use the tool.
  • The reports graphics and options are hard to be used by a user that is not deeply trained on how to build them, making it hard to give autonomy for the stakeholders on the tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

Adobe Workfront is really great for big teams with complex processes. It is a robust tool that offers everything that this kind of team needs to do the complete work.

Adobe Workfront is not to good if you have a simple process, it is not too intuitive and to onboard a team, you need a lot of training to make them able to work on the tool, which makes other tools like Monday.com for example, much more attractive.
