Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

Workfront is currently being used as our work management tool. We use it in conjunction with a custom built change management system to manage all work for the entire IT department. It resolves the issue in relation to resource estimates and managing all of the resources available in IT.
  • It allows you to manage your resources well as long as you set the tool up correctly.
  • You can manage documents well.
  • You can charge time to tasks.
  • It is difficult to set up completely.
  • The reporting is not great.
  • Licensing is not cost effective.
  • It has provided the ability to manage resources better
  • Better efficiency in project evaluation
  • Better visibility into capacity/resource planning
Workfront is very easy to use from a UI perspective. With other project management tools, there is often times a lot of training that is necessary to go live. With Workfront we held an hour training session and rolled the tool out to the department with minimal issues.
Workfront is great if you are looking for a tool to manage and track time. There are basic approval workflows that can be created in the tool and it is great for storing documents/versioning etc. It falls far behind however in the reporting realm. There are many custom codes you need to learn if you want to be successful using this tool for reporting as basic relationships can't be created between data points without it.
