Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
- Complex dependencies linking helps when dates slip in one project. Clients and internal stakeholders can easily see the impact of delays.
- Exporting schedules and timelines is fairly easy, allowing project managers to easily keep clients in the loop.
- Keeping documents all in one place allows us to package projects and save them locally for easy record-keeping.
- There are some performance issues that occur when the number of tasks reaches past 100.
- Exporting schedules could use some work in order to customize a bit more.
- There doesn't seem to be the ability to search without saving a report. Many times I like to do a query without having to save it as a report.
- Reporting has allowed for various stakeholders and contributors to understand impacts of certain project changes.
- I think we lose a good amount of time converting issues to tasks and following up on issues. This could probably be handled in a more streamlined way.
- I personally dislike having to save every report. I would like a simple query that pulls up data without needing to save. This wastes time for the PMs.
Workfront does a better job of showing timelines and project schedules, but the performance is not good when you get beyond a certain number of tasks.
JIRA has a knowledge base (Confluence) which I like. It also is faster and has better search and more flexible dashboard features.
