Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

We are using Workfront in the creative services department of a Biotech company. We use it to manage all marketing and sales collateral from creation, through approvals, and to release. It has made our work processes less manual, it has made my designers work availability more apparent and it has allowed us to gather more information up-front from out clients so that we can better create their request.
  • Centralize projects in one solution
  • Manage digital work processes
  • Review and approve digital work
  • Deliver client-facing services
  • Govern compliance workflows

Pros

  • We appreciate the automated workflows and the ability to run sequential workflows on rush projects.
  • The clients appreciate having more visibility into their project and approvals of their collateral.
  • The reports save my boss so much time and validate to her boss that the system is worth it.

Cons

  • The updates tab could be a little more intuitive, but they are currently in the process of fixing this.
  • The view for clients could be simpler, or best ways to use it for clients should be communicated better. They don't care about all of the layers.
  • With the workflows it is more clear who needs to do what tasks and I as the traffic manager am not wasting too much time manually moving the project along.
It integrates and simplifies what these two programs do. The way we were working before was broken and extremely manual. Workfront is more automated and all integrated.
The implementation team was great and they really helped us along when we had to fast track implementation during the busiest time of the year. They still check in on us and that makes us feel appreciated.
It is great for our small projects like sales sheets and brochures, but we have yet to figure out the best way to use it for large projects such as tradeshows. Sometimes all of the collateral gets lost.

    Thanks for taking the time to write a review! We appreciate the feedback. If you were at Leap, you should check out the presentation on event management with Workfront. The presenters were from our team and we use it to manage Leap and many other smaller events. I'd also encourage you to use the Workfront Community for event management advice. Have a great day!
