Workfront Reviews & Product Details

User friendly and great solution for managing works. Best reporting and analytic software.

Workfront combines project management, resource allocation, time tracking, and reporting in one place.

This centralization helps reduce tool switching and improves team alignment.

It is a strong collaboration tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to manage with custom workloads, I would say customization is time consuming with this software.

It’s considered a premium tool with pricing that may be out of reach for smaller businesses or startups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Workfront mainly to manage content review and approval cycles across product, legal, and compliance. The proofing tool was the biggest win: reviewers could comment directly on drafts, and I could see who had signed off without chasing people over Slack or email. Having requests, versions, and approvals in one place made it much easier to keep a clear audit trail, which mattered in a regulated healthcare setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface has a steep learning curve, especially for occasional reviewers. Stakeholders from legal or product who only logged in to approve something often got lost in the navigation and asked me to just send them a PDF instead. Notifications were also noisy, so important review requests sometimes got buried. Setting up custom reports took more effort than it should have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Workfront is how it keeps projects, tasks, and team communication organized in one place. It makes it easier to track progress, manage priorities, assign responsibilities, and keep everyone aligned on deadlines without constantly switching between different tools.

What I dislike about Workfront is that the interface can feel complicated at times, especially for new users. Setting up workflows and managing multiple projects can take some time, and navigating through different menus is not always straightforward. It could be more user-friendly and responsive.

I like the opportunity to work within teams and send projects amongst each other with Workfront. It gives me greater visibility into timelines and makes sure things get completed on time. The ability to prioritize tasks more efficiently compared to Asana is a significant advantage. I also found the setup effective and seamless, taking only a few days to get started and integrate previous projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think having a more seamless user interface where all the tabs are laid out in front of you and correctly, I feel that when you're juggling multiple projects at one time, it's a little bit more difficult. So maybe having a greater interface where you could prioritize them more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the solid communication and project visibility for my team in Workfront. It also helps with resource management and content workflow. I find its integration useful, as it allows our team to assign tasks, share profiles, and receive client feedback within Photoshop and design apps without switching between apps.

I find the user interface pretty complex and slow to load, which makes it difficult for new team members to learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the extensive configuration Workfront offers, especially with custom fields and views that can match any processes we have, which change month to month depending on the project. I also really appreciate the ability to have customized real-time reports and analytics for upper management. It's more of a centralized management, allowing me to understand where the analytics are. If a project is slower in some areas, I'm able to zero in on specific projects to figure out inefficiencies and better allocate our resources to ensure jobs get done.

I would say that the platform is very complex and feature-heavy, making it difficult to understand where to navigate. The actual integration was easier, but understanding the product became more difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Workfront is user-friendly. I can quickly find everything I need without searching through emails or spreadsheets. It's easy to see updates and collaborate with others without losing information, which makes teamwork easier. I really appreciate the task tracking and progress monitoring features because they make it easy to see what's completed, what's pending, and who's responsible for each step. The collaboration tools are also handy. The initial setup was simple and straightforward, and the system was ready to use right away. I love that it keeps everything organized for training, allowing us to manage training and certification efficiently. It's reliable, easy to use, and makes it easier to manage training and certification across the team. I would rate it a 10 out of 10 for its reliability and ease of use.

It can be a little confusing when too many updates come through at once. A simple layout or easier notification control would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is definitely the visibility it provides across different workstreams. I love that I can jump into a project and immediately see the full audit trail—who approved what and when. It’s also great for resource management; it gives a clear picture of my team's bandwidth so we don't over-commit. Having a single place for proofing and feedback instead of digging through endless email chains is a massive lifesaver for my daily productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI feels really heavy and a bit clunky at times. the learning curve is steep, especially for team members who aren't project managers by trade. I also find the search and filtering logic to be frustratingly specific; if you don't know the exact project name or ID, finding a past task can take way longer than it should.

I really like the feature that allows Workfront to integrate with the Creative Cloud. This integration helps me stay within one platform and eliminates the need to jump between different tools, which keeps everything in one place. It's a seamless experience that makes me more productive and prevents me from losing track of my work. Additionally, setting up Workfront was pretty easy, and the switch was seamless thanks to our IT and product teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the main area that's room for enhancement is more around the user interface. I feel that it could be a little bit too stacked. So bringing new users to the team could be more difficult to navigate amongst the platform until you have a lot more experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the approval process is nice, how you can set up a list of people an approvers who can view the document or video. i also like how you can comment on the proofs by drawing shapes or arrows and it is easy to be specific. the integrations in the commenting on proofs is nice.

the hierarchy. its so hard to find a project or a document or really anything. the search bar is awful. why when i look up a project does my project from 5 years ago pop up first? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
