Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
- Reporting - Workfront offers a seemingly limitless number of both pre-loaded and custom reports that allow the user to get exactly what they need when they need.
- Workflow Management - Workfront's use of predecessor, task duration, and resource management makes it easy to plan a project and execute in an organized manner.
- Resources - Workfront offers training in multiple different formats that are accessible to all users. They also host a community page that connects other users to share best practices.
- Workfront has so many different functionalities/nuances that make it difficult to connect the dots. It would be nice if our Workfront instance only showed what we need. Example - we don't track time via Workfront so there is no need for that option to be available.
- Proof HQ and Workfront - These are not fully integrated and the automated workflows are difficult to understand. In addition, this feature is really well suited for small documents not large documents/slide decks.
- Implementation - The implementation team provided by workfront is very knowledgeable of the system but does not take on a lead role in getting the system set up as you might think. It really comes down to your appointed system admin and core team to learn the system thoroughly to get it set up.
- It is hard to provide hard numbers as we are still in the implementation phase, but, I can already see Workfront positive impact on the organization of our teams, projects and more.
