Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
We are a marketing department within a software company. We use Workfront to manage all projects. It allows us to manage resources, timelines, tasks and report on volume of work moving through the department. It is a great way to capture updates and files in one place and provides transparency to everyone on the project.
- Capturing project updates. All dialogue can be housed in Workfront, eliminating the need to hunt through emails. Workfront offers flexibility in managing updates with integrations such as Slack. Users like to customize the inflow of messages in different ways yet the data stays within the system.
- Reporting. After you use Workfront long enough to build a database - the reporting functionality is very helpful for presentations. Everything from time spent and volume of work to adding resources.
- Proofing Tool. Being able to share proofs with multiple users with them seeing each others' comments saves a lot of time. And the changes are captured all in one place. No more laser proofs!
- I'd like an easy way to create a custom calendar for my team. Workfront is helping me build a solution but I imagine this is something other users would also like. That being said, Workfront does provide a way to submit ideas for future releases, which is great.
- Some of the training materials (in the extensive training library) are out of date. With updates happening a few times a year, it is important to remove information that is no longer accurate.
- Leap - invite prospects to your great conference!
- The big value here is in the reporting. Being able to report volume of work, hours by task and project is very helpful when asking for additional staff.
Enovia is a product lifecycle tool, so not a good match for a marketing team. Basecamp and MS Project are comparable but we went with Workfront. The newly added Fusion is important to consider. With hundreds of integrations available, it will streamline your workflow across departments.
