Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
- Establishing a plan of action for your entire team, complete with dependencies for tasks ensuring work is done in the appropriate order
- Easy collaboration among team members
- Customizability so each user gets the information they need, presented the way they like
- Permissions-based views only allow users to see the information they should, making client "firewalls" easy to maintain
- Added flexibility on how project plans operate (ex- our "plan" was to have task A done by Tuesday and task B start Wednesday, task A is completed behind schedule, task B still shows that its planned to begin even if its not ready to start and the date is now in the past). It would be nice to have the system update your plan automatically if other tasks are completed late.
- We are far better able to schedule upcoming work and make changes on the fly
- Our Account teams and executives have real-time access to the current status of their projects and can gauge their overall "health"
- We've entirely eliminated paper/job jackets for day-to-day operations
- Easier collaboration among our related agencies since our processes and tools are nearly identical now
Our previous system was home-brewed Sharepoint, mostly for note-taking and online tracking as we routed physical job jackets, scanned documents and emailed them to one another. It was fine for its time but as we expanded not just in volume but in location (offices went from NY only to NY, NJ, CT, CA, OH, London, Manila, plus remote more employees working from home), it was overdue for a replacement.
We selected Workfront after a couple of live demos from competitors as well as researching about 8-10 others online. While every system had its strengths, we found no other system that matched the flexibility, robust features and customizability of Workfront. And that was before we factored in the ProofHQ tool. At that point, no one else came close.
