Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

Workfront is being used as a project management suite, aiding our project members to work in an agile way effectively. The tool my team and I use most frequently is the issue tracking, which is invaluable as a developer.
  • Ease of use, nice layout, and good colours.
  • Most features needed are out of the box, little need for an external solution for project management.
  • Graphical representations can be automatically produced from data rather than manually configuring them.
  • Other project management tools, though they may be limited, offer excellent solutions for free.
  • Workfront benefits from large teams, rather than smaller more intimate teams.
  • Not the easiest to pick up for brand new users compared to simpler competitors.
  • Large return of investment on bigger projects with both functional and technical staff on board.
  • No use case found for 2-5 man projects, as Trello is easier to use and free.
  • Issue management has single-handedly removed days or weeks of communication mismanagement.
Workfront destroys Trello in my opinion for large, multifaceted projects, however, is not compatible with the more intimate projects that perhaps involve 2-5 people. The free Trello option, though limited, is better suited for this.
Workfont is well suited for large teams, especially those working across departments. If you have a large consulting team with functional and technical staff, it's a great place to manage all of the staff under one roof.
