Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
In my prior consulting job, we used Workfront internally and externally. Externally it was useful loading up a project plan and the dashboard functionality was helpful for conducting status report meetings. The problems we had with it was that it was difficult to hide other clients' dashboards which is a huge security risk. Also adding tasks and the indentation was not very user-friendly.
- Loading up a project plan.
- Custom dashboard.
- Assigning tasks to users.
- Changing due dates in bulk was tedious on a project plan.
- Folder structuring or accessing a document easily.
- Creating custom forms was not very intuitive.
- Status report creation saved a lot of time.
- Having a lot of things in one place.
- The huge learning curve that comes with being new to the tool was a negative.
Workfront is more of a collaboration tool. It gives a broader array of customization options.
