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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adobe Workfront offers a streamlined process that is more user-friendly compared to other tools in the market, providing comprehensive features with built-in integration for creative tools, addressing the pain point of creative collaboration in the content supply chain."
"Workfront is innovative and these were plenty of features that I found valuable while working at Logitech. Workfront had this feature of Project Schedule Templatization. This saves time and effort and even leads to the standardization of processes that are well-assorted. The Intelligent Graphical Interfaces of Workfront allow one to look at a specific type of resource and a specific phase for a specific family of products. You can get quite granular with the data and even zoom in or out of the timeline. It also categorizes projects according to classes and portfolios so that over time, you can more easily understand what are the various metrics involved in producing a specific portfolio Another important feature is Workfront allowing you to validate milestones and investigate the project. This also helped me to understand which projects are performing well and whether it was beneficial to invest in the same. The IT and the app configuration is quite secure and it is one of the benefits. One more valuable feature is the integration of communication systems inside Workfront. This helps you differentiate between normal business emails and project-specific conversations. This is also known as ‘queues’ and I absolutely find this feature extremely powerful."
"One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is that we can immediately track each project, keep track of all tasks with milestones, and monitor everything effectively."
"Workfront centralizes the tasks, the assignment of tasks, and documents required to do the work, streamlining communication and information availability, thus improving organization and reducing dependency on decentralized methods like email or servers."
"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."
"I can say it is a powerful tool. We have everything in-house in that tool, like, creating reports, dashboards, creating various workflows, and everything we have inside one application."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"When compared with other project management tools or workflow tools, Adobe Workfront is far better than other tools in the market now."
"EMC's documentation team has put a lot of effort into its literature, and the documentation and installation guides are simply superb."
"It's a product with a swarm of different applications, each one answers the needs of a specific part of the business. They collaborate one with each other relatively smoothly."
 

Cons

"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."
"Their agile tools are not as good as they could be, not as good as competitor products."
"Improving the efficiency of converting issues to projects is also essential; when converting issues to projects, users should remain on the same page rather than being redirected."
"The performance needs to be smoother, and there is room for improvement in Data Connect while writing queries and integrating with other analysis tools."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"Scalability in Adobe Workfront means it does not have its own storage space, since it is not a digital asset management tool."
"The main work to do concerns cloud integration because our customers want to go to the cloud."
"I would say scalability is a hot point to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
"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."
"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."
"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"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."
"They need a new way to do their pricing and licensing."
"It's absolutely not a product for small companies, but for middle sized or large ones it is not expensive. You pay for what you get, and there are a lot of benefits."
