"Saved our marketing team from email hell, actually worth the price."
What do you like best about Workfront?

The custom request forms and the proofing workflow are absolute lifesavers. I manage marketing for a mid-size ecommerce brand and we went from total email chaos (20 versions of a banner floating around in threads) to everything living in one place with clear approvals and deadlines. I love that I can see at a glance who’s late on what without chasing people down in Slack, and the automated reminders actually get stuff done. The portfolio view also makes my boss happy because I can show him in 30 seconds how many campaigns we’re juggling and what’s on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

It’s still clunky on mobile, half the time I just give up and wait until I’m back at my desk. Reporting is powerful but takes forever to build anything custom. Also, the learning curve is brutal for new team members, we literally have to do a 2-hour training session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Project Management and Easy Work Management with Workfront"
What do you like best about Workfront?

Workfront is the best I have used more so when it comes to centralizing work management. It offers a single source of truth for all project information and it also ensures smooth access. It also comes with great features for project planning, resource management and capacity planning.

With the tool, we have an easy time automating tasks such as content creation, marketing, approvals and campaign management. What's more it integrates with other Adobe tools for a seamless experience.

The tool enhances collaboration and ensures stakeholders get proper visibility to project progress and management. In addition, it automates task assignment to be sure it gets to the right team.

With the tool, have greatly enhanced accountability and reporting which includes ease of tracking financials, track tasks, and making decisions based on insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful backend with a cumbersome and outdated frontend"
What do you like best about Workfront?

Workfront offers many promising features, such as Priorities, Canvas Dashboards, and Planning. The API is extensive.

Adobe branding is a name that many outsiders associate with professional products.

The community, especially through Experience League, is both good and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

Unfortunately the UI / UX is quite outdated. It would be nice, if some newer Web-Framework would be used. Getting together necessary information requires a lot of clicks.

In our context we need a huge amount of individual customisation. Each customer has different needs. Workfront offers many interesting approaches, but it is often unclear whether we are relying on a solution that will still be viable in the future.

Many functions seem to have been neglected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Project Management but Needs Speed Improvement"
What do you like best about Workfront?

I really appreciate Workfront for its ability to streamline project workflow in a natural order, allowing multiple resources and clients to collaborate effectively. One of the standout features for me is the scenario planning, which is incredibly helpful for managing last-minute changes to project scopes. Workfront's real-time optimization of resources ensures that any adjustments to the existing project plan are handled efficiently, which is a major advantage in keeping projects on track and organized. The integration with tools like Slack teams further enhances project collaboration, making it a valuable asset in my work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

I dislike how bulk updates for large projects slow down the system, which, while not catastrophic, still presents a manageable nuisance. Additionally, although the setup was easy, I found the initial learning curve to be quite steep, making it challenging at first to become fully comfortable with the platform.

"Easy Setup, Feature-Rich Project Management"
What do you like best about Workfront?

I use Workfront to effectively manage projects and tasks, allowing me to plan, track, and deliver projects with efficiency. I find the software simple and easy to use, which is enhanced by its comprehensive features. The ease of task and project management is particularly beneficial, providing me with a complete overview, which streamlines the workflow significantly. I also appreciate the straightforward initial setup; it was quite easy, requiring minimal effort to get started. The reason my team and I switched from Trello to Workfront was due to the enhanced features and ease of use that Workfront offers. I am highly satisfied with Workfront, to the extent that I would recommend it to friends and colleagues with a score of 9.5 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Project Management, but Interface Needs Simplification"
What do you like best about Workfront?

I find Workfront incredibly beneficial for managing projects from start to finish; it helps me set up timelines, assign tasks, track progress, and keep all communications and documents centralized, which keeps my team aligned and on schedule. I really appreciate how Workfront reduces the chaos of tracking tasks scattered across emails and spreadsheets. Its ability to improve visibility into project timelines and facilitate cross-team communication is particularly valuable. My favorite aspect is the visibility it offers—it allows me to see project timelines, task ownership, and deadlines all in one unified platform, significantly simplifying my planning and prioritizing tasks. I rely heavily on the task management tools, project timelines, and automated approvals because they help me stay organized, move projects forward, and substantially reduce the amount of manual follow-up I typically need to do. Additionally, Workfront’s integration capabilities with tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Adobe products enhance communication and creative work. The switch from using multiple disconnected systems, like Asana, to Workfront has notably improved collaboration and centralized project tracking for my team. Ultimately, it lays a robust foundation once everything is set up, offering a solid structure to support our project management needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

I find some features of Workfront to be overly complex or not very intuitive, which can make setting up certain workflows or reports time-consuming. The interface can also feel a bit heavy, especially for new users. Additionally, the initial setup was somewhat challenging due to the many options and customization capabilities, which took time to configure user accounts, teams, and workflows. Lastly, I think the interface could be simplified by streamlining the menus and making key features easier to find for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Task Management with Real-Time Collaboration"
What do you like best about Workfront?

I appreciate how Workfront has tremendously improved communication within our construction team, resolving issues associated with poor or absent communication. Workfront’s ability to clearly display who is assigned to specific tasks eliminates confusion and reduces errors significantly. I absolutely love the real-time collaboration feature, which is far more efficient compared to other software with delayed refresh times. With Workfront, as soon as a task is updated or changes are made, everyone involved is immediately aware, allowing us to act swiftly and minimize delays. The visual clarity provided by Workfront's interface ensures there are no ambiguities regarding task assignments, which enhances overall project management. Switching from Smartsheet to Workfront was beneficial, primarily due to its superior communication capabilities across multiple devices and locations. The easy initial setup allowed us to get started quickly, providing a smooth transition to using this powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

At the time of use, not all functions available on the web version were accessible on the app. Specifically, there were some financial analytics features that could not be processed on the app. Although this issue was not the biggest concern, it was an inconvenience until it got integrated.

The load speed is not as fast as I would like, which can be frustrating when I am trying to quickly manage projects and work on tasks. Additionally, the user experience is not as smooth or intuitive as it could be, making it less efficient to navigate through the software and utilize its features effectively.
