Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
- The visibility of resource management has greatly improved in Workfront in the past year. This has helped us understand where are resources are overloaded and has helped prioritize effectively.
- Digital reviews and approvals are hard to beat in Workfront. Having the review information centralized and housed on a document helps us move through our review processes more quickly with fewer questions about why certain edits have been made.
- Project templates and timeline generation help streamline the project building process and helps us remain consistent with our processes.
- The aesthetic and functionalities of the reports is one thing I'd like to see improve, since it can also affect the quality of Workfront dashboards. I've received negative feedback on multiple occasions about Workfront reports from a functionality and aesthetic standpoint.
- The portfolio system in Workfront is very lack-luster and complex. I would like to see them move to more of a foldering system.
- Overall, I think Workfront could start eliminating certain capabilities to make the system more user friendly and less complicated to set up. It's a lot to take in for team members and to onboard project managers.
- Resource allocation and management has had a very positive impact on our department.
- Document hosting and digital reviews have allowed for easier and more relevant conversations during reviews.
- Project visibility for the average user is somewhat lost without the generation of a manual report (negative feedback on reports) or hosting a campaign calendar.
- Basecamp and Smartsheet
Workfronts document hosting and timeline generation are two of the biggest reasons we have stuck with Workfront for so long. The visibility of project updates and communication tracking with each project is also has allowed for more effective collaboration. Workfront also has a sophisticated interface with a lot of add on capabilities and features if you're able to effectively implement them. Very expandable system.
