Chris French - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Enterprise Workfront Team at Capital One
Enhanced project management and automation simplify reporting and approval processes
I think that Adobe Workfront could be improved in several areas, including reporting, which I've already mentioned. There are very specific things within the custom forms that I think could be improved, such as having different labels within forms instead of system-wide. The ability to hide options in a drop-down at the custom form level instead of system-wide would be another improvement. There are times we have to create brand new fields because we need slightly different wording within the label. If we had the capability, we could easily trim down from over 1,000 custom fields to about 400 custom fields if we had the ability to have individual labels by form. So reporting is a big one, and I think there are some not huge changes needed, but improvements to custom forms and custom fields would be beneficial. My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better. The ability to report is great, but I think it is too difficult. Regarding dashboards, they are crucial to be able to pull information from different levels, but that's also a negative because it is very difficult to do that on a report. If I have issue-level data and project-level data that I need to see, with some custom coding, you can do some of it in a report, but in general, if you have a lot of that blended data between levels, you need to use a dashboard, which requires two different reports due to the difficulty in pulling data at the different levels into one thing.

Provides effective workflow management and catalog management
Around three to four engineers are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. The solution's e-commerce integration feature has impacted our marketing efforts and catalog management. CoreMedia is stable and strong in terms of editorial things. The solution has helped our organization manage translations for different languages. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Great software that is customisable and easy to use."
"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."
"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"I love the custom forms - the custom forms have fulfilled every need for data needs within Workfront, and the flexibility to integrate custom form fields into any report, view, filter or grouping has been wonderful"
"Adobe Workfront has been stable in my experience, and I would rate its stability as an eight out of ten."
"The solution is stable."
"I also like Workfront's integration. The solution integrates natively with other systems. It's easy to connect Workfront to any product that has a customer service database, such as a CRM or service ticket management solution."
"CoreMedia is good for workflow management and user reviews."
 

Cons

"Certain regions experience latency issues when dealing with large quantities of projects, which could be improved from Adobe's side."
"As with any software, some bugs exist."
"Adobe Workfront could improve its interface, which may benefit from an overhaul for better consistency between the web interface and the API."
"I would have to say the "Updates Tab" where comments on the projects are posted."
"Their agile tools are not as good as they could be, not as good as competitor products."
"Reporting using charts could be improved - I currently export a few complex reports to Excel in order to create the charts that I need."
"My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better."
"Scalability in Adobe Workfront means it does not have its own storage space, since it is not a digital asset management tool."
"It is difficult to scale the solution with respect to the costs and infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
"Speaking about pricing, I wouldn't recommend it to a smaller company because I do think the price point is higher than other solutions that can work."
"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
"Adobe purchased Workfront in the past year, and they're putting work into developing the platform, so I expect the price to rise. It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable for the value it provides. It isn't Monday.com where you pick a license with a set price, and you've got a project manager."
"The pricing is a barrier to implementation. It is expensive compared to other competitors. Speaking about licensing, they have a private manager license for $1000, which you can use for administration as well. Then they offer a worker license for $500, and then a reviewer or contributor license which is free."
"Our customers pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
