Featured Reviews

Chris French - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Enterprise Workfront Team at Capital One
Enhanced project management and automation simplify reporting and approval processes
I think that Adobe Workfront could be improved in several areas, including reporting, which I've already mentioned. There are very specific things within the custom forms that I think could be improved, such as having different labels within forms instead of system-wide. The ability to hide options in a drop-down at the custom form level instead of system-wide would be another improvement. There are times we have to create brand new fields because we need slightly different wording within the label. If we had the capability, we could easily trim down from over 1,000 custom fields to about 400 custom fields if we had the ability to have individual labels by form. So reporting is a big one, and I think there are some not huge changes needed, but improvements to custom forms and custom fields would be beneficial. My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better. The ability to report is great, but I think it is too difficult. Regarding dashboards, they are crucial to be able to pull information from different levels, but that's also a negative because it is very difficult to do that on a report. If I have issue-level data and project-level data that I need to see, with some custom coding, you can do some of it in a report, but in general, if you have a lot of that blended data between levels, you need to use a dashboard, which requires two different reports due to the difficulty in pulling data at the different levels into one thing.

Integrates cloud workflows with databases and has revealed areas we still want to explore
The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us. The database link feature helps my team because we have a lot of database linking. Nomad has positively impacted my organization as it is still in an evaluation phase, so I cannot comment on that right now. I have early signs and expectations that Nomad might improve efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AtTask's ability to quickly apply project templates to any given request (e.g. tasks with owners, dependencies, and timing) gives order to a busy workload and clarity to business owners seeking to get work out the door."
"Reduced license costs plus reduced overall project timelines."
"Various departments that we have to collaborate with, have indicated that they are much more efficient with their work because they are able to see exactly where everything is and what's coming."
"The project transparency in AtTask/WorkFront is amazing, it helped us become so much more organized and gives us so much data to help report in ways it would have taken me weeks to do, and now I can build the report fast and have it at my fingertips to use at any time."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us."
"In my opinion, the best feature that Nomad offers is quality, meaning its reliability and performance."
 

Cons

"Some of the specific functions in the system can get a little quirky and could use some help, but those are really for unique cases and not general system functionality."
"Certain regions experience latency issues when dealing with large quantities of projects, which could be improved from Adobe's side."
"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."
"We have experienced multiple problems as a result."
"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."
"Some of my reporting needs, I have had to add custom calculations and when I have called to get help, they say it is a custom ask."
"Adobe Workfront could improve its interface, which may benefit from an overhaul for better consistency between the web interface and the API."
"More customization of the user interface would be nice."
"Right now, I have not seen a return on investment and cannot share relevant metrics with you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
"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."
