Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
Workfront is a powerful project management tool that was utilized to help develop a number of projects including web development efforts, database updates, and outreach campaigns within a nonprofit organization. It was used by the whole organization and was quite flexible in being usable on different levels of project complexity.
- It does a good job of integrating many functions and operations.
- The reporting tools are excellent although sometimes hard to learn by some employees.
- They offer excellent customer support.
- The product can be a little expensive for some organizations.
- For new employees the product can be more challenging to learn than other similar products.
- It can be time consuming to setup the program from scratch.
- Allows greater flexibility with multiple office locations, saving technical overhead costs.
- The longer learning curve for new users can be more costly in terms of training time need than with other products.
- The complexity of the product can be both a blessing and a curse in terms of support needs.
Workfront is a really highly powerful tool that can be a bit over-matched for typical project management tools like Microsoft Project or other project management programs. It does a great job with medium to large projects with medium complexity. It helps significantly to reduce project management task redundancies.
