AdityaGupta1 - PeerSpot reviewer
Adobe Workfront Specialist at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Have faced limitations in functionality and dependability while trying to streamline project management workflows
One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is that we can immediately track each project. We can keep track of all tasks with the help of milestones that we can add to a project. We can monitor everything effectively. The utilization and workload balancer allows us to clearly see if a person is over-utilized or if they are not getting utilized to at least 80 or 90%. This enables better tracking and work assignment with improved clarity. We use custom dashboards in Adobe Workfront to see all statuses. The integration capabilities with other software are quite good, with straightforward connectivity. We have HTTP connectors if we need to connect with external systems via APIs. If we have any API endpoint for any external tool, we can connect it with Adobe Workfront using Fusion. Reporting is a major part of Adobe Workfront, making it not just a workflow management tool but also a tool where we can get data and present it to executives through comprehensive reporting.

CDO at Intellidio
Provides effective workflow management and catalog management
Around three to four engineers are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. The solution's e-commerce integration feature has impacted our marketing efforts and catalog management. CoreMedia is stable and strong in terms of editorial things. The solution has helped our organization manage translations for different languages. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Pros

"One of the best things about Adobe Workfront is that we can immediately track each project, keep track of all tasks with milestones, and monitor everything effectively."
"The best features in Adobe Workfront from my perspective are the project management and automation from the back end, the tool called Workfront Fusion where we can automate processes."
"I like being able to update the status of my projects so everyone can have visibility to what I am working on and its status."
"Adobe Workfront acts as a centralized platform, providing a single source of truth for project tasks and resources, supporting Agile methodologies like Kanban and Scrum, and allowing customizable workflows to automate tasks and streamline approvals."
"As per a user survey, 90% of respondents believe that Workfront has increased operational discipline."
"The usability of the system has been great, it was by far the easiest product to use based on the products that we reviewed and the adoption with the use of the product has been great in terms of people understanding the system."
"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."
"Adobe Workfront offers a streamlined process that is more user-friendly compared to other tools in the market, providing comprehensive features with built-in integration for creative tools, addressing the pain point of creative collaboration in the content supply chain."
"CoreMedia is good for workflow management and user reviews."
 

Cons

"Lots of bugs with AtTask. I had to call Help line A LOT for help."
"Their agile tools are not as good as they could be, not as good as competitor products."
"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."
"Customer Service: 5/10 - it is sometimes tough to get an advanced technician to review tickets."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"Adobe Workfront could improve its interface, which may benefit from an overhaul for better consistency between the web interface and the API."
"The biggest room for improvement comes from faster iteration times."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"It is difficult to scale the solution with respect to the costs and infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
"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."
"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Our customers pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution."
