Featured Reviews

Sreenu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Deloitte USI
Experience great collaboration and integration with advanced automation features
The platform could benefit from additional customization features. The external lookup field, which allows custom API calls to fill data, is limited to two thousand results, which is insufficient for many API calls. While this was increased from two hundred based on customer demands, there is room for further improvement. The native connector currently only allows users to pick assets from AEM, but should also enable pulling content fragments that users want to link to projects or tasks. Incorporating content fragment selection in the native connector with AEM assets would be a significant enhancement. Certain regions experience latency issues when dealing with large quantities of projects, which could be improved from Adobe's side.

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are finding that AtTask is continuously breaking down the silos and facilitating cross-collaboration between groups and teams."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"As per a user survey, 90% of respondents believe that Workfront has increased operational discipline."
"Reduced license costs plus reduced overall project timelines."
"We were able to combine Project Management, Help Desk ticket handling, Time Reporting and now we have everything in one place."
"I love the custom forms - the custom forms have fulfilled every need for data needs within Workfront, and the flexibility to integrate custom form fields into any report, view, filter or grouping has been wonderful"
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
 

Cons

"The ways for employees to generate reports; e.g their own workload in calendar year 2014; are not necessarily as intuitive as they could be."
"Their agile tools are not as good as they could be, not as good as competitor products."
"The performance needs to be smoother, and there is room for improvement in Data Connect while writing queries and integrating with other analysis tools."
"Customizing and maintaining Workfront can be very time consuming."
"We have experienced multiple problems as a result."
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."
"Yes, we experienced brief downtime on a few occasions but it became a rarity."
"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
