Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

  • Workfront is accessible anywhere (work, home, mobile) since it is a software system.
  • Creating a timeline in Workfront is easy and quick, especially once templates are created.
  • Communicating with resources as well as stakeholders is easy in Workfront, not to mention that all of the communication is centralized and easy to find/recall.
  • When adjusting a timeline, if you happen to mess up, there is not an "undo" feature. Sometimes getting back as step is more difficult than you would think.
  • It would be nice to upload a document into a task, and also have that document go in a folder of the main documents section (as opposed to being loose in there).
  • When closing a project, sometime errors come up that are hard to resolve. Sometimes, you really just want to close a project because you know it is complete.
  • By streamlining the project management process, resources are completing work much faster, so we can execute even more projects.
Workfront is heads above the other project management systems I have worked with before. The timeline (real time) functionality is ideal for a project manager like me. The document storage is very convenient and easy to use.
I have worked with Workfront at an ad agency (~40 employees), and now in the corporate marketing department at a Fortune 500 company. In both workplaces, Workfront was a great solution for communicating with my resources and keeping everyone on track. This is speaking as an account manager and a project manager.

Using Workfront

I have used Workfront for the past 4 years, and find it very effortless to use. The functionality is very logical and clear, and communicating with other resources within Workfront is simple. The whole platform is very straightforward and it is very easy tracking progress on a timeline.
