Workfront Reviews & Product Details

I like the "Open Proof" feature. It's easy to leave targeted comments on designs, and the "Approved with Changes" option is a gamechanger. I also appreciate being notified via email when proofs are ready for me to approve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to communicate with the designer within Workfront. Comments left in the updates section are often missed by the person working on the project. It hasn't been an easy system to navigate with competence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Logical organizational data structure

* Lots of surface-level customization possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* WorkFront is constantly releasing new versions and function changes so learning and managing the program is an ongoing process that detracts significantly from the real work of our business

* WorkFront's frequent new version releases seem to go through no beta testing first and often have large functional errors. Instead the customer is forced to be the beta testers, which again detracts significantly from the real work of our business.

* WorkFront tries to make one single system cater in depth to too many different businesses---The result is an overly complex system where only half the core functions actually apply to a given business, and there's few ways for users to streamline it at that core level.

I LOVE all of the options afforded to me by using workfront. There are so many features and really helps project management. The tool may be a bit more advanced for people that are not used to working in project management but for those familiar with project management, they should have no problem. The product allows you to create templates for like projects and you can have timelines built in that will auto calculate based on a start date or completion (due) date. This makes it extremely easy to manage projects and know when they need to be started or when they can be completed. It is easy to drag and drop documents and images into the project so others can have access all in one place. You can also assign other users to specific tasks so that they show up for everyone. Each person can then manage their projects and timelines accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit complex at times to get it to do what you want it to do. Projects will sometimes show up as late or behind when they really aren't because the dates of the tasks overlap. This isn't a huge deal if you go in and look at the project but at first glance can raise concerns. This is an easy fix but it is very time consuming to go into each task and have them due at different times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything for a project lives in one place. Gone are the days of reply all emails and digging through your inbox to find details and attachments. It's great for referring to previous projects when copying a project or seeing what creative we used in the past for an ad or an email digital graphic. The reporting functionality is also super useful. I also love the New Experience! Great streamlined functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tagging users in threads is frustrating. You can't remove users from a comment thread if your new comment only pertains to specific people in that thread. For example, person A, B, and C are in the thread. I tagged all of them. Person A has a question for me and only wants reply to me, but they can't as they can't remove B and C from their comment. This functionality used to exist before they started making changes for the New Experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WorkFront is the only tool that provides the project alignment and gives a detailed lay out for the project completion. It provides me good reporting and offers the tracking of every single step of the project right from its business value to the stages they are up to. Through its templates I easily design the project plan and through its automation feature I feel so confident to assign the write target to my team members and of course can WorkFront leave me behind about their working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no doubt that this tool has make easiness for me as well as for my entire team. It let us track everything in efficient way. There is no negative aspects of Workfront. It has enable me to work effectively with its authentic features and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very effective product in ensuring there is collaboration and proper management of documents in the workplace. It automates workflow for quick and proper service delivery to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been working well since we deployed it in our organization though during document organization it is sometimes slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was having great trouble about handling multiple projects at same time. It was so hectic to manage the time associated with each project and couple of times I left with loss. Recently I have switched to WorkFront and to my amaze it is all that I needed to complete my projects within time. Now I can easily collaborate with my team members and easily guide them about the weakest and strongest part of the projects for taking the immediate actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WrokFront does not provide any facility about the chat box neither can attach any sticky note on while analyzing the performance of my team. Many of the amazing features are available in the costly plan. Also to create the new templates is very complicated, I am hopeful to see further modifications so that it becomes one window solution for project management.

Workfront is strongly used by the project development department of our organization, it is an excellent tool to keep an organized management of the projects, keep the data about the projects updated and its reports are quite readable and well structured. The Workfront interface is quite intuitive, it is multi-platform and its ability to set parameters on tasks and projects and reflect every change in real time is simply fantastic for keeping work teams up to date. On top of that, it has an excellent customer service team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being such a robust tool in terms of functionality there is a certain learning curve, which can make it more difficult and take a little longer for new users to adapt to handling the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workfront is pretty good all around! It's quick, very intertwined within itself (everything is linked so you're never too far from where you need to be), and they're consistently offering new updates. The ticketing systems come in a variety of formats and styles that you can set up (although I was an admin for it so perhaps I am biased on how easy it is to get the functionality I wanted). You can also easily add people and create teams, which is definitely a growing requirement in expanding WFH category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be very tricky to manage the settings (coming from an admin). Workfront tends to bury a lot of things deep into their system so updating certain categories (eg: custom dropdown menus and fields) can be frustrating. The calendar views are great but, again, with so much on-screen at once, you can sometimes overlook important things (tickets) because they either get pushed aside or are showcased in different ways throughout Workfront. They would probably benefit from more prominent color-coding throughout their UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has the capacity to centralize all the programs in our organization which enables us to work as a team. We fully satisfy our clients needs since we work in collaboration from each department. This platform has boosted our production and the growth of our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I started using this tool I have not come across any obstacle that can delay the progress of any activity. It is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all of my work is organized in one place - it's all listed so I can see it in one place. I also like that I can see the names of other team members across the organization who are involved in the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I don't receive the notifications from Workfront. So, it's difficult to see when I've received a follow-up message or documentation from a coworker that I need to move on in a project. That's caused a few stalls on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the help of Workfront, we stopped sending dozens of emails every day to inform our teammates about their tasks. We can quickly contact each other through Workfront which saves a lot of time. Workfront’s AI technology distributes tasks in a way to make sure the project runs efficiently. It is extremely customizable. Lets the management monitor the project in real-time which is great for transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because it has lots of functions it also ends up being one of the most complex software that I have used. After years of using it, I still have difficulties with Gantt charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive and easy to navigate. Proof features are great, and comments/updates allow for easy communication about a project. Request forms are easy to customize and complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could have personal project management element - it would be great to have ways to manage my own projects and todo lists in the same platform/interface where I manage coordinating web, email, and creative requests with my department for my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workfront has been performing well since we deployed in our organization. I have not experienced any problem that can affect our daily tasks from its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the UI as well as the potential to personalize the project showing the company of mine the info I have to accomplish my work properly. The capacity to adjust fields of view as well as panels is fantastic. Producing the own forms of mine is simple and also provides me the chance to obtain all of the needed info about projects, inquiries, projects, problems, etc. and also the chance to upgrade them as my compny gets. The accounts are extremely useful and today we utilize tables and charts to easily recognize the components along with jobs which require attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a learning-curve that some become used to, but so long as you've someone in position or even in the learning process, this's the ideal transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workfront has been great since we deployed it in our organization to manage work. It has not failed in any way in enabling us to achieve our objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the projects might be set up as well as changed quickly. You are able to keep up to speed as well as change based on changes in your changes and system in the organisation of yours. I am also crazy about customised reporting and data. In each and every organisation I applied workfront, the single types and the capability to manage them to obtain data were invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If the device is correctly configured, I genuinely do not possess a tonne of complaints. Perhaps way too many features are available? You are able to wrap the mind of yours a lot, but it is irreplaceable if you've the time to understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limitless customization and personalization of each feature as such as custom fields for accounts, and tasks. Able to simplify each communication and work between departments onto 1 platform and eliminates needless emails. You are able to update colleagues about a job or maybe project on the platform rather than via a face to experience meeting, telephone call, and email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe it will be useful to have the ability to manage projects or even hide them to be able to tidy up the My Work webpage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
