Adobe Workfront vs Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management comparison

"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."

"Workfront centralizes the tasks, the assignment of tasks, and documents required to do the work, streamlining communication and information availability, thus improving organization and reducing dependency on decentralized methods like email or servers."

"The solution is stable."

"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."

"I also like Workfront's integration. The solution integrates natively with other systems. It's easy to connect Workfront to any product that has a customer service database, such as a CRM or service ticket management solution."

"The most valuable feature of Adobe Workfront that I have found is the external lookup, which helps users to get the outputs based on the API and enables users to get region information if it was in the country based on the logic-driven key and value pair."

"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."

"Workfront is innovative and these were plenty of features that I found valuable while working at Logitech. Workfront had this feature of Project Schedule Templatization. This saves time and effort and even leads to the standardization of processes that are well-assorted. The Intelligent Graphical Interfaces of Workfront allow one to look at a specific type of resource and a specific phase for a specific family of products. You can get quite granular with the data and even zoom in or out of the timeline. It also categorizes projects according to classes and portfolios so that over time, you can more easily understand what are the various metrics involved in producing a specific portfolio Another important feature is Workfront allowing you to validate milestones and investigate the project. This also helped me to understand which projects are performing well and whether it was beneficial to invest in the same. The IT and the app configuration is quite secure and it is one of the benefits. One more valuable feature is the integration of communication systems inside Workfront. This helps you differentiate between normal business emails and project-specific conversations. This is also known as ‘queues’ and I absolutely find this feature extremely powerful."

"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

"In Adobe Workfront, there is a limit of 2,000 users that can be shown on a page. I would suggest increasing this to something around 10,000 so end users can search all objects more efficiently."

"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."

"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."

"I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved. Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention. Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically."

"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."

"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 performance needs to be smoother, and there is room for improvement in Data Connect while writing queries and integrating with other analysis tools."

"Scalability in Adobe Workfront means it does not have its own storage space, since it is not a digital asset management tool."

"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."

"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."

"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."

"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."

"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."

"The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."
