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.

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

"Our customers are very happy, as we can finish their tasks and projects within the stipulated timeframe."
"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."
"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."
"We are finding that AtTask is continuously breaking down the silos and facilitating cross-collaboration between groups and teams."
"AtTask's ability to quickly apply project templates to any given request (e.g. tasks with owners, dependencies, and timing) gives order to a busy workload and clarity to business owners seeking to get work out the door."
"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."
"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"Mostly, it has to do with reporting project status updates to the management team."
"It enables you to deal more easily with videos, especially if you're working with a high volume that needs cutting and editing."
"This is an all-in-one media solution in terms of media management."
 

Cons

"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."
"Workfront still has a lot of growing to do in the proofing and review areas of the application. Additionally, the document review process is way too clunky and needs to be streamlined."
"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."
"Customizing and maintaining Workfront can be very time consuming."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"Certain regions experience latency issues when dealing with large quantities of projects, which could be improved from Adobe's side."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"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."
"Could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
