Overall Satisfaction with Workfront

We used Workfront as part of a client's project management system. They tracked and managed all digital projects (everything from email to website to social) and used it as a hub for collaboration and centralization between their business and all partner agencies involved. It was a good tool from this perspective because it allowed all partners involved in a particular project to stay up to date on project status, documents, timelines, etc. It served not only as a repository for all project documents but also a forum to discuss project milestones, dependencies, and updates. The centralization between companies and resources was great at mitigating siloed workflows, out of the loop team members, and disorganized project management.

Pros

  • Centralization of project resources, such as documents, timelines, discussions
  • Easy-to-learn and navigable UI
  • Email notifications of published updates from other users

Cons

  • Notifications generated by members of your own organization don't send an email notification
  • Access has to be granted on a project and document level
  • Once a thread is started, you can't un-cc a member if the thread is no longer relevant to them
  • Improved risk mitigation
  • Efficient project management
  • Resource organization
Workfront is well suited for companies that employ multiple agency partners who all work on a singular initiative, such as search agencies, creative agencies, and dev agencies would work on a website. As a platform to be used within a single organization, there may be a better, more appropriate project management tool.
