Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""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 intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront.""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 tool is very user-friendly.""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 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.""Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."

"The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy.""The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system.""We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity.""I like the high level of customization in Notion.""The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness.""The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion.""The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."

Cons
"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.""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.""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."

More Adobe Workfront Cons →

"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts.""The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""The product could be integrated with external platforms.""It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems.""There could be an automation feature included in the product.""There could be an automation feature included in the product.""Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content""Notion's UI needs improvement."

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 product is affordable compared to other platforms."
  • "The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "The product has good pricing."
  • "The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
  • "The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
  • "Notion offers a free plan that covers most functionalities. Clients are only prompted to upgrade if they require AI capabilities, priced at $10 for unlimited usage, or if they need to add team members, typically around $10 per member."
