Product Details

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.

  • Workfront gave a HUGE ROI to our implementation team; the team that manages over 6000 projects between 10 people.
  • Without workfront (and with other tools we tried, like Wrike) we struggled with being able to manage these projects on the macro-level. We may have been able to do the work on an individual project, but we didn't have the ability to see how our team was doing as a whole, and we couldn't easily figure out which technicians had the bandwidth for more projects. Workfront made all of this possible for us.

  • Huge positive impact. We have been able to standardize Workflows, report in real time, reduce late projects, manage resources, collaborate, ETC. I can't imagine not having it.

  • We have not really tracked it that closely, but people are happy with the tool and reports are live so it helps.
  • The collaboration tools are great, they cut down the meeting times, but we haven't tracked it for specifics.

  • Our production management would have failed without Workfront
  • Workfront has allowed our production management team to be very organized and stay on top of every task at hand
  • Workfront has given us the 10,000 foot view through dashboards, reporting, and the calendar that we did not have before

  • Since Workfront hasn't really met our needs, our management team is considering discontinuing our contract. We have not seen the results we expected, and we have had better success reverting back to using a simpler tool. If this happens we have had zero ROI.
  • We had to manage two tools since Workfront wasn't meeting our needs, so this impacted efficiency and job satisfaction.
  • If Workfront had the functionality we needed, I could see it improving collaboration and capacity.

  • Workfront has allowed us to have visibility to a project to where it had issues, where it went faster than expected and this allows us to make changes to increase our ROI.
  • Workfront's reporting has allowed us to SEE how billable we are day to day. This is great for me when I want just a quick overview of how the team is operating. I go into my report, pull it and quickly see via charts where we are at. Then I can drill down if needed to find out why we weren't as billable on other days. It has allowed me to adjust my management teams to increase our ROI.
