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.

This provides all-in-one media management for images and videos
The solution is not very user friendly, and if you're coming from a conventional enterprise content management background, there is a steep learning curve. I think it should make itself more discoverable to technical people and that includes the documentation which is lacking in terms of ease of use. I'd like to see some right to left languages as an additional feature. We have to integrate with third parties in order for Arabic to be recognized. It would make a big difference to have that included. It's something that a lot of the competitors are doing. OpenText is lagging in that regard. We're based in Egypt and unfortunately we're unable to implement the full functionality of the solution and get the best out of the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"Work happens much more efficiently and the transparency throughout the organization is immeasurable as the majority of all executive reporting is happening within the tool."
"I liked the KPI functionality."
"Adobe Workfront acts as a centralized platform, providing a single source of truth for project tasks and resources, supporting Agile methodologies like Kanban and Scrum, and allowing customizable workflows to automate tasks and streamline approvals."
"Adobe Workfront is a very broad platform, and when examining its primary function, it excels at project management and collaborative work management, with flexibility that allows it to be used for many things beyond overall project management in terms of general metadata compiling."
"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"This is an all-in-one media solution in terms of media management."
"It enables you to deal more easily with videos, especially if you're working with a high volume that needs cutting and editing."
 

Cons

"The costs are a bit expensive in terms of licenses and adding an internal FTE to administer the system."
"Some of my reporting needs, I have had to add custom calculations and when I have called to get help, they say it is a custom ask."
"Customizing and maintaining Workfront can be very time consuming."
"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 biggest room for improvement comes from faster iteration times."
"Some of the specific functions in the system can get a little quirky and could use some help, but those are really for unique cases and not general system functionality."
"Workfront works well if you are just trying to use out of the box functionality but once you try and get specific to your own business needs, it lacks in flexibility."
"Could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is not very user friendly, and if you're coming from a conventional enterprise content management background, there is a steep learning curve."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
