Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

  • The timeline is a great feature. It allows you to break the project plan out by tasks and subtasks and assign one or many people to each while also allowing you to assign days and hours.
  • The reporting is also a great feature. You are able to pull reports on anything from hours to ROI to resource allocation. It's a great way to keep track of who is available from a resourcing standpoint and also compare our planned vs. spent hours.
  • We love the proofing tool, the content, creative, and account teams are all able to work together seamlessly using the proofing tool.
  • Workfront could improve on the proofing tool to allow Excel documents to be marked up. Also inside of proofing, it would be great to be able to tag people in the comments other than those who are approvers.
  • I also think the issue tracking functionality could use improvement. It would be great to have an easier more simple way to track tasks.
  • Workfront has greatly increased our organization inside of projects.
  • Workfront has greatly increased our workflow management between studios.
Workfront is MUCH more organized than Basecamp. We're able to create schedules, proof creative, and keep things flowing.
The one area we do not use Workfront for is our financial end of things. It would be nice to see ROI and financial aspects beyond just reporting hourly cost and hours. Many people on our leadership team would like a way to be able to use it for that aspect instead of having to use another piece of software.

Workfront does do a great job of keeping the creative/content/digital departments on track and helps organize projects.
