AdityaGupta1 - PeerSpot reviewer
Adobe Workfront Specialist at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Have faced limitations in functionality and dependability while trying to streamline project management workflows
One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is that we can immediately track each project. We can keep track of all tasks with the help of milestones that we can add to a project. We can monitor everything effectively. The utilization and workload balancer allows us to clearly see if a person is over-utilized or if they are not getting utilized to at least 80 or 90%. This enables better tracking and work assignment with improved clarity. We use custom dashboards in Adobe Workfront to see all statuses. The integration capabilities with other software are quite good, with straightforward connectivity. We have HTTP connectors if we need to connect with external systems via APIs. If we have any API endpoint for any external tool, we can connect it with Adobe Workfront using Fusion. Reporting is a major part of Adobe Workfront, making it not just a workflow management tool but also a tool where we can get data and present it to executives through comprehensive reporting.

Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Adobe Workfront offers a low barrier to entry, which makes it user-friendly and requires minimal training."
"I like being able to update the status of my projects so everyone can have visibility to what I am working on and its status."
"When compared with other project management tools or workflow tools, Adobe Workfront is far better than other tools in the market now."
"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"We were able to combine Project Management, Help Desk ticket handling, Time Reporting and now we have everything in one place."
"The project transparency in AtTask/WorkFront is amazing, it helped us become so much more organized and gives us so much data to help report in ways it would have taken me weeks to do, and now I can build the report fast and have it at my fingertips to use at any time."
"The best features in Adobe Workfront from my perspective are the project management and automation from the back end, the tool called Workfront Fusion where we can automate processes."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
 

Cons

"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 downtime, while not too long or frequent, is an area for improvement."
"Our product and graphic designers are working with various Adobe products, but Workfront has a no-frills interface. It's a useful tool with everything we need, but it could be a little more attractive and present information in a polished way. It's a web interface, so it's accessible, but the appearance could be a little slicker."
"Lots of bugs with AtTask. I had to call Help line A LOT for help."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"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."
"Reporting is a bit limited; while basic reporting is completely fulfilled and you can present the information in clear graphs, when you try to create complex relations (historic vs forecast, capacity vs demand) things get more complicated, there are limitations and you need workarounds to obtain the desired (or closest to the desired) information."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
"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 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."
