Graham Sprague

Sr. Manager/Adobe Workfront Fusion Developer at Staples, Inc.

Centralized task management and simplified creative collaboration but interface is inconsistent

Adobe Workfront could improve its interface, which may benefit from an overhaul for better consistency between the web interface and the API. The current setup was not originally designed API-first, leading to some confusion and differences in available functions. Additionally, the low-code environment in Workfront Fusion is beneficial yet sometimes limiting, and it might be more powerful with enhancements.

Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees

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

"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."

"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."

"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 solution is stable."

"The tool is very user-friendly."

"Adobe Workfront has been stable in my experience, and I would rate its stability as an eight out of ten."

"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."

"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."

More Adobe Workfront pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."

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."

"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."

"Adobe Workfront could improve its interface, which may benefit from an overhaul for better consistency between the web interface and the API."

"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."

"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."

"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."

"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."

"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."

More Adobe Workfront cons

"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

"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."

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."

"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 pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
