What is Adobe Workfront?

Workfront is a web-based project-management tool acquired and now supported by Adobe since late 2020. It was designed for both IT and marketing teams, but can be implemented for any kind of project. Workfront offers all the features standard to project management platforms. Editing and updating issues from the project view is styled to work somewhat similarly to a social networking site, bringing team members together in one central location. From the project view screen, issues, documents, and other elements of the project are placed along a tab bar so that they may be addressed with one click directly from the hub.

The platform's Capacity Planner allows a manager to move resources to where they are needed, and has some automation features (e.g. the Set Best Fit option, which attempts to allocate resources optimally within given constraints). Agile project management is supported with features like Gantt charts, an easily viewable and manipulable backlog, and storyboarding. Team members can be managed with the aid of quantitative metrics that show where work would be best allocated.

A free trial is available, after which Workfront comes in four pricing options. The lowest tier is Collaboration for small groups, followed by Work which adds mobile accessibility and time sheets, then Plan which adds additional analytic, planning, and reporting features. Finally, Enterprise Plus offers the highest configurability as well as support and data security.

We use Workfront in our internal projects. It helps us to maintain all our organisational tools on a single platform. We use it to maintain projects, client information, timesheets, custom forms for various purposes and even as a leave management system. Workfront combined with fusion helps us to abstract a lot of manual work and saves us time. Designing good solutions on Workfront is easy and fast. We also get direct support from the Adobe team and some support persons are directly involved with the company.
  • Custom form designing and sharing those forms.
  • Access level controls.
  • API integration with attask.
  • Calculated fields.
  • Documentation should be more well organized and detailed.
  • Access level hierarchy can be simplified.
  • Allow owners to disable built in controls like default overview and details tab for users.
It is well suited in environments where you have different scenarios or requirements, but want to maintain only one application/tool to handle such complex set of requirements. For simple situations, Adobe Workfront can be an overkill, it suits large organizations. For smaller ones, I still think lightweight or inhouse solutions work best.

I use Adobe Workront for task management of clients. Being a project manager, I need all my tasks to be aligned according to priority and timelines. I use the tool daily as it is recommended by our client to manage the timelines through this tool. This tool helps me to keep all the tasks in one place and track them as it sends out the email when the due date approaches which helps me to meet the deadline
  • Project Management
  • Task management
  • Track of deadlines
  • Helps me to assign tasks
  • Track the progress
  • It can include an option of importing data using excel or csv or anything. Entering tasks one by one gets hectic
  • The Editing of tasks can be made easy.
  • It needs to allow us to add email address of the people to whom the tasks are assigned even if they are not using Workfront
  • Retrieving the deleted task should be made simple
I would say that Adobe Workfront is not the best tool to use to manage your projects. You can use it for task management. It really gets on the nerves when you delete a task and then you have to retrieve it. Also, I would suggest that the tool gets a UI upgrade there would be better as there are a lot of improvements that can be incorporated into it.

Our organization currently uses WorkFriend to manage digital assets and review proofs of cross different teams. It’s an easy way to have documentation on changes and alert different stakeholders across the organizations on changes that are needed. It’s also the way that we submit new project requests for our marketing teams.
  • Track changes
  • Proof approvals
  • Notifications
  • Menu functionality
  • Search functionality
  • See what others on your team are working on
We enjoy using this platform to kick off new projectors for marketing. It’s a great way to have control over changes for the future and be able to reference past designs to not have to start from scratch. It wouldn’t be good for pilot projects that don’t need as many reviewers and sign-off.

I subcontract for a large corporation that utilizes Adobe Workfront for all of it's projects. Having never used it before, I was surprised at how easy I was able to jump into it (I have previous experience with Microsoft Office, which helped). The UI is clean and well-organized, and being able to keep everyone I report to up-to-date is vital, and easy to achieve with Adobe Workfront.
  • Project management
  • Keeping employees accountable for deadlines
  • Keeping the whole team in the loop with updates in real time
  • It's a very large program - which is a good thing for a large corporation with hundreds of ongoing projects, but can be daunting if you're not used to it
  • Although it's scalable, It could be a bit more user-friendly for small business owners
  • It's expensive - and rightfully so - but for a small biz to incorporate it's definitely an investment
I write music and sound design for multiple projects at the same time, all within the same company, sometimes as much as 8-10. It can be hard to keep track of and stay on top of notes and changes, but Adobe Workfront is great at keeping everything organized, and informing you of deadline changes as they occur.

My organization used Adobe Workfront as its primary project management tool to track project progress for most projects. We can assign tasks to members of the team and track the progress of each project with Adobe Workfront. Additionally, it assists team members in managing their work, highlighting dependencies, and prioritizing tasks based on the go-live date.
  • Gantt Charts | Reports.
  • Help teams to follow Agile.
  • Task assignment/Managment/prioritization.
  • Mobile app UI experience.
  • A bit expensive for small businesses.
There is no doubt that it is suitable for project management. This software makes it easier for teams to coordinate their work and manage their progress. Additionally, it helps members of the team to prioritize their assigned tasks and to present the results of their work to clients for their review. Multiple projects can be seen as a whole by charts and reports, which can assist higher management.

At my current employer, we leverage Adobe Workfront for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, Workfront is used as a time tracking and resource management platform. Projects are created—whether for client work or internal initiatives—and resources are added. Workfront enables project managers and project contributors to see how a project is tracking (going smoothly, at risk, etc.) and makes the necessary adjustments to remediate timelines and budgets. We also use Workfront to integrate with our financial platforms as well as Workfront Proof for editorial requests (proofing) for client-facing documents such as proposals, pitch decks, statements of work, etc.
  • Time Tracking
  • Resource Management
  • Proofing
  • Project Collaboration
  • Notifications (sometimes I am emailed when I am tagged, other times I am not)
  • Certain file formats do not render correctly in Workfront Proof (eg, .XLS files)
  • It can be difficult to manage projects if you have not been assigned the correct permissions.
Adobe Workfront is well suited for most professional services organizations. Any company that has clients on a retainer or project-based terms can benefit from a resource management platform like Workfront. Workfront allows project owners to manage the time allocated to projects and specific tasks (or milestones) within a project. Resources can be added at the project and task level, so it is easy to see who should be working on what. Workfront also makes proofing client-facing documents a breeze. Once uploaded, editors can easily track changes in real time, saving time and creating efficiencies throughout the process.

Workfront is a tool that is utilized in our organization for one of the service lines that provides implementation services for clients. Workfront is used as a project management tool for these teams and helps to organize and standardize project methodology across the team. Workfront is also used in order to help track and maintain employee project forecasting and actual time vs. forecasted time to projects.
  • Project Management.
  • Documentation Repository (For individual projects).
  • Dashboards for tracking Actual vs. Forecasted time entry to a project.
  • Customization of Dashboards.
  • It often takes a lot of clicks to get to a location in the application.
I believe that Workfront is an amazing tool for management consulting firms as it centralizes and helps to organize many projects that may be happening across their firm. This would also be a great tool for SaaS companies to use to help organize the status of their ongoing implementations.

[Adobe] Workfront application has been used by our Business Development functional area to streamline their new opportunities that the current employees have to audit, follow up on, and then file according to the priority. Each case is treated as a mini project in itself and so requires task management, task assignment, status updates as well as [the] attachment of documentation to be reviewed by senior management.
  • Easy to use
  • Ability to create notes/write comments
  • Ability to add the predecessor link in tasks
  • Ability to add screenshots in the comment section
  • Modern UI - it can use a little improvement there
  • Automation of similar tasks
A lot of the projects or business development projects/accounts that we process are mini-projects in itself, however, there are a few similarities in some projects related to the improvements required or the type of technology needed. So the idea of creating templates was something that we missed in other applications. Workfront is great for managing tasks according to the category of templates we have used in the past. It keeps our employees' life easy and super easy to onboard new team members where we can show them the previous projects.

Our whole organization uses [Adobe] Workfront for project management. It's the main communication and procedural tool that we use to complete our jobs.
  • Streamline Workflow
  • Team Communication on Projects
  • Project Status
  • Asset Approval
  • Customization
  • Reporting
[Adobe] Workfront is a great project management software for teams larger than 10. It does a great job of allowing you to include the appropriate people and not ping just everyone. [Adobe] Workfront is *not* a media agency tool. If you need to track campaign performance, purchasing, planning, or proposals, this is not the right tool for that.

Workfront is used in my department for most web, creative, and cross-team projects. It makes keeping track of work, project status, and next steps easy. It also lets us set up workflows or processes for different projects, so we don't re-invent the wheel each time - we can just do the same system that worked before.
  • Organizing everyone's work
  • Adding visibility to everyone's work
  • Supporting robust customizations
  • Having tasks/projects without a due date (if it is in a backlog or prioritization queue).
  • Navigating can be a little complicated - it is robust, but sometimes a bit of navigating to get to the right area.
In my experience, Workfront is a really robust and useful tool. It is not my personal favorite because it did not support tasks/projects that did not have a date associated with them, and it required a bit of navigation work to get around. That being said, it is a good tool. It does great at keeping projects organized, keeping team members on track and collaborating, commenting on tasks or work (ie. images/designs).

This is for a consulting position I held - the school had anywhere between 20 to 40 things going at once, projects like enrichment, after school, internal projects for marketing, etc... so this program was reviewed to keep track of them, have visibility and keep an eye on projects that might have normally fallen by the wayside.
  • Tracking (in that you don't easily lose track of projects).
  • Cross department friendly (it can be used by anyone who needs a role in the project).
  • Project management (with visibility, employees were less likely to let the project slip away).
  • Conversations, communications, aren't handled very well in the program.
You need to, first, actually have a need for a project management system. If you are doing well with a spreadsheet, then you don't need to spend money on this. It has a LOT of functionality, but you need to have established the need before throwing something like this at your business. A team of two people isn't going to need this. A team that crosses departments which could be between 10 and 50 people would use this very well. I could go on about the features, which are essentially the same as most any project management software these days, but the bottom line is - you need to have the need first to make this work well for you. Otherwise, you are spending money on a tool that will be used by half of the people on the team, and eventually it will become a project that needs managing itself!

We use it to analyse our project progress and to track the time taken by our team members to work on the projects assigned. Workfront is an easy to use platform with a user-friendly interface to navigate any function easily. It allows our team members to work on it remotely. Start to end its pretty much reliable.
  • Time sheet tracking
  • Project management
  • Task management
  • Communications between our team members.
  • Needs to be logged in to get to get notifications by members.
  • Should have a improved UI
Workfront is easy to use and can be customized. It allows us to create reports, create tasks, check project progress very easily.

Workfront is being used predominately by the marketing group in many ways, ultimately to help manage marketing resources--from imagery to review and approval processes with legal/regulatory entities to content creation for a variety of marketing activities. Workfront has enabled us to advance our ability to collaborate on projects with greater clarity on where projects stand, who has assignments, and how we prioritize work getting done.
  • Accessibility--works well to access via web/mobile
  • Integrations--works well with our SSO
  • Milestones and dependences--creating greater clarity on project statuses
  • While the tool itself is incredible, having a process is helpful prior to installing Workfront
Workfront has specifically helped our creative services team outline projects, priorities, dependencies, and overall workload that had historically been difficult to detail out. Our marketing ops group has seen success with Workfront in campaign management and execution. Workfront has help create shared understanding by showing project statuses to key stakeholders, with the ability to add comments as needed.

Workfront is utilized by the marketing, communications and events team at BJC HealthCare. As many of our projects involve multiple users (now all remote workers), it's a way for everyone to communicate and update everyone on the progress, and also to share resources and documents as the project moves forward. It also lets people know when the project is complete, or what roadblocks there might be.
  • Fosters communication between team members.
  • Serves as a virtual "to do list" for me personally - I can track where I am with projects and what there is left to do, and when it's completed.
  • Sharing documents between team members that can be updated.
  • Notifications - at times it is difficult to receive updates from team members unless you log in.
  • Cumbersome - at least at BJC HealthCare, there's a lot of steps to get things logged.
  • Archive system - you have to set up a whole other folder or archive to put projects that are closed out.
A specific example is Heart Month at BJC HealthCare. There were marketing materials, media stories, patient testimonials and events. Using Workfront allowed everyone to keep the list of projects straight. Team members could log their specific projects and provide updates, and tag specific colleagues who might want to utilize their materials or at least be "in the know" about the project.

Less appropriate - a specific media story. This is a bulk of my work. Oftentimes media stories pop up quickly and are resolved quickly - and stopping to track in Workfront is a cumbersome task, especially when other colleagues will not be involved. However, it has proved to be useful in tracking for the media relations team specifically.

We are using Workfront across different departments and teams to automate our workflows, simplify digital asset management and be in control of all our work. Workfront has been an important tool in our remote work since the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. It has facilitated communication and collaboration among teams with the valuable features it offers. Our IT professionals have received great benefits from using features like keep track of bugs, milestones, status, product road mapping, and issue management. On a single platform, we can have projects delivered in a timely manner and quality work delivered which leaves our customers satisfied.
  • The powerful communication tools ensures that all team members working remotely are always up to date and everyone on the same page
  • Gantt chart is flexible to adjust to changes made on projects and ensures it is easy to track the progress of the team members.
  • The robust automation tools has reduced our team members workload and saves time for everyone.
  • The user interface is not easy to navigate.
  • The software has a learning curve.
  • It is costly for small organizations.
Workfront is well suited for remote workers with tons of features that are important for them to collaborate and communicate efficiently. The mobile app can also facilitate the work of remote workers by assisting them to work from any location.It is also ideal for medium to large enterprises since it manages the complexity of projects in an easy way.

Workfront allows our teams to manage projects and process work requests. Nearly everyone in the company, across departments, uses it. Workfront allows management to track time allocations and helps staff members manage their individual workloads. I'm not sure what we would do without a tool of this kind at this point.
  • Easy-to-use interface, especially for tracking time and project tasks
  • Customizable admin settings
  • Extensive dashboards/reporting
  • Probably not a good fit for small teams/companies--best if managed by a dedicated administrator.
  • Tracking projects by the minute feels too granular at times.
  • Would love to see an integration with Marketo campaigns and calendar.
I've only used Workfront as part of an enterprise team. It offers the features and controls that we need, and as a non-admin user, I've found it to be very friendly and flexible. That said, our company has invested significant resources into implementing and maintaining our instance. Other solutions (cheaper, simpler) would likely suit smaller companies better.

Various departments within our organization utilize Workfront as a request system and project management system. Workfront allows us to use the system, to create, update, track and finalize requests that would have normally been submitted to departments via email. Making it a singular avenue to see all the happenings of any particular requests/project. One of the features I enjoy most is the updates that can be received by a single user or a team by utilizing the team functions. An email is sent to any user connected to the team or project and no person has to remember who to send any info to, the system does that for you as long as they are attached or part of that team. This reduces the possible issue of "forgetting" to include someone in an email or update. Adding documents and the approval process of said documents make collaborating easier for my needs. Updates on one page make it easy for any user to easily review a request and latest information. Overall the system provides what need it to and it is an excellent system for requests, projects and workflows are an area that can use improvement yet it is functional.
  • Requests work particularly well for us, updates and information in regards to a request are all in one place. Updates provided to all attached users/teams, documents, hours logged, it makes requests easy, pretty much a one stop shop.
  • Being able to pull reports on our requests and have custom fields that provide all the information we would need without having to go back and fourth in different programs makes it a breeze to provide information to management.
  • Projects, we would like to see more options when it comes to working with projects.
  • Workflows, I would like to see some dynamic workflows. Request A > flows to Request B. Without having to reenter information.
I cannot rave enough about the way we are now able to handle requests because of Workfront. It went from an archaic email system to Workfront where everything is in one place. No more having to weed through emails in order to find all the information I need to proceed with my job, it is all there in the form because I was able to easily customize the form to include all the information I needed. This has been a game changer for me.

Our Project Management team is using Adobe Workfront for Agile and Scrum. Workfront provides deeper visibility to our project sprints and our engineers who are working on them. It also gives you an amazing dashboard that provides insights for SLA, team viscosity during our sprint.
  • Agile
  • Task prioritization
  • Search bar can be improved.
Workfront being a product of one of the most trustworthy companies, Adobe, provides a well-organized package to manage our project and generate reporting. With Workfront, handling our Agile and Scrum process has become way easier, as, previously we were managing that on Excel but now it has become more efficient and we can assign work to developers as per availability.

Not sure if it has been used by most of the projects in my organization, but definitely a good choice for the project at the right time. It comes as an Adobe bundle for us with a lot of other beautiful Adobe tools. [I] have used many other tools similar to Workfront for managing projects and for tracking purpose[s], but [I] feel Workfront come[s] as one solution for all the things needed for a project; [whether] it is time tracking, the task assignment, or to track what all we have in the pipeline/backlog.
  • Planning / Project Scoping
  • Time Tracking
  • Reporting
  • UI could be improved
  • Initial setup is a bit time consuming
Although we have a lot of options available similar to Workfront, I still believe it is a good option for large projects. The tool will definitely have a great impact on the overall project management and on the delivery. It helps to track and prioritize the task which is needed at the current moment. Also, [it is] easy to track the team workload and bandwidth.

Many employees have created [a need for] more dynamic management. [With Workfront] good decisions are made because everything is in optimal control of tasks and projects, improving workflows and generating readable and well-structured reports.
  • I have a lot of vision with Workfront; I analyze projects better and better until I find the maximum point of understanding projects.
  • It's been exciting to develop situations that require follow-up of activities in more rigorous processes.
  • The interface is very comfortable and very useful.
  • I do not use it to perform a continuous search because it does not yield the best results.
  • To be able to handle all its tools, there is a specific learning curve.
There are more than enough reasons to accept it as an essential software for the different subsystems of the companies. It has obtained the result that is needed. It works excellent and has been the best program we have had to manage generally.

We used Workfront as part of a client's project management system. They tracked and managed all digital projects (everything from email to website to social) and used it as a hub for collaboration and centralization between their business and all partner agencies involved. It was a good tool from this perspective because it allowed all partners involved in a particular project to stay up to date on project status, documents, timelines, etc. It served not only as a repository for all project documents but also a forum to discuss project milestones, dependencies, and updates. The centralization between companies and resources was great at mitigating siloed workflows, out of the loop team members, and disorganized project management.
  • Centralization of project resources, such as documents, timelines, discussions
  • Easy-to-learn and navigable UI
  • Email notifications of published updates from other users
  • Notifications generated by members of your own organization don't send an email notification
  • Access has to be granted on a project and document level
  • Once a thread is started, you can't un-cc a member if the thread is no longer relevant to them
Workfront is well suited for companies that employ multiple agency partners who all work on a singular initiative, such as search agencies, creative agencies, and dev agencies would work on a website. As a platform to be used within a single organization, there may be a better, more appropriate project management tool.

  • Logging tasks and progress could be clearer.
Workfront is very useful with team projects with multiple people doing multiple tasks. You can, at a glance, get a good idea of where the project stands. It is also easy to communicate with team members and get on the same page about tasks. It wouldn't be as useful for personal projects.

It is being used to track employee time on projects as well as analyze the burn on each project. We use the raw data export to manipulate into a table and mapped excel spreadsheet to present to the internal client team and higher management.
  • Export employee time.
  • Tracking time sheets.
  • Managing tasks and projects in your queue.
  • Unless otherwise put, the employee rate can come up as zero.
  • People can still post time unless the other program Workfront is synced to is used to close the project/task.
It's very practical and easy to use. It functions as a great tool to do reporting and manage employee time. It is a bit of a task when doing your own timesheets and getting the proper approval for time off. It has to go through a chain in order for the project to code the time off becomes available. Data is easy to understand and read.
