Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

  • Good at housing all the necessary details for projects.
  • Easy to assign work to our employees.
  • Easy to transfer files so we don't have to email as much.
  • The tool can be a bit complicated. There are lots of features we don't use, but there is no way to hide those or turn off so it feels a bit cumbersome.
  • You will have to set all timelines for project templates yourself. We would love to see a feature where we can put in our tasks and assign a deadline, and then Workfront would automatically divide the time given amongst the tasks.
  • Workfront has not eased our administrative burdens thus far.
We are in the process of reevaulating and looking for another project management system that better meets our needs.
We mostly feel that Workfront is too administratively burdensome for our needs. There is a lot of set up involved. It's not just a sign up and go type situation. We were told we need one staff member completely dedicated to being a Workfront admin. We don't have the resources or man power for that, nor were we told this upfront. We were sold on the ease of use and that this would make life easier. Of course, now Workfront has offered us a full time admin for an additional cost. We have paid enough for the system that it should work fine on its own without needing to pay more or hire another person.
