Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

Workforce was implemented across the organization to address service desk queues and was considered for project management. The ability to have email turn into a ticket was good and bad. Users submit requests but don't often use the tool to track the ticket. Reporting was not part of the implementation so managers did not like the product. When I was hired, I worked to build reports and dashboards to improve use of the tool for operations. It was easy to learn and the knowledge base was great. I would say that managers considering the tool should have a good experience if they implement well and the tool matches their project management maturity level.
  • Easy to create reports and export to Excel.
  • Easy to see latest activity on tasks in chat format.
  • Easy to manage my own tasks by priority.
  • Project plans not as nimble as MS Project.
  • Capacity planning is confusing.
  • Slow web connections and rendering.
Less sophisticated IT departments and organizations may experience frustration.
