We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool is very user-friendly.""The solution is stable.""Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective.""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.""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.""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 intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront.""Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."

"I am currently exploring ClickUp AI, which I think is very good.""It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.""Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier.""The most valuable feature of ClickUp is the UI scheduling tool. It is the best and most convenient and attractive.""ClickUp offers a relatively user-friendly experience, especially when it comes to its fundamental features.""The most interesting feature is the ability to share what you are working on with an external entity. The customer has direct visibility on what is being done on a particular project and this provides a lot of transparency.""The most valuable feature of ClickUp is its AI recommendation.""The product has an efficient design."

Cons
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof.""I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates.""We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards.""The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement.""Our product and graphic designers are working with various Adobe products, but Workfront has a no-frills interface. It's a useful tool with everything we need, but it could be a little more attractive and present information in a polished way. It's a web interface, so it's accessible, but the appearance could be a little slicker.""Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved.""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 solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."

"ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning.""ClickUp could improve its documentation section.""The tool is not user-friendly.""There is a need for significant improvement in the user interface to make it more intuitive and less time-consuming to become familiar with.""It can be improved by making it more user-friendly.""ClickUp could improve by streamlining its functions and organizing them better for easier access.""ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts.""The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
  • "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."
  • "We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
  • "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."

  • "The price of ClickUp is reasonable. The price is approximately eight dollars per month per person."
  • "This solution costs $20 per user per month. If you have 20 users, you would pay $400 per month. There are no hidden fees that we are aware of."
  • "I don't have a lot of information about the pricing, but I know that it is fairly inexpensive."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The product’s cost is high."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "ClickUp’s pricing is better than Jira Align’s."
  • "The product is expensive."
