Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
Workfront is used as our project management tool across our creative teams (marketing, design, research). We have user types of all kinds that include project managers, subject matter experts, and upper level management.
- Templated projects with resource assignments
- High level overview of tasks that need to be done and their timelines
- Project timeline visualizations (Gantt charts)
- Data exports of time used
- Easy timesheet submissions and edits
- Approval workflows that are easy to manage
- Integration with external tools, like InDesign
- The UI of the interface could use a little improvement. It's not hard to learn but there's a soft learning curve.
- Sometimes the project timelines can get a little buggy and it's hard to diagnose the issue
- Workfront has been able to automate a lot of our recurring projects to reduce time on creating schedules and assigning resources
- Workfront automated our review and approval process to reduce the amount of time it takes to push projects to production
Compared to JIRA, Workfront is a lot more user-friendly and less focused on IT/technical tasks. If you're looking for a resource tool that is for creative departments, I highly recommend Workfont.
