Adobe Workfront vs Planisware comparison

"The solution is stable."

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

"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."

"The tool is very user-friendly."

"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."

"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."

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

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

"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."

"Planisware has introduced Agile concepts, making it capable of Agile management similar to Jira and other Agile tools."

"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."

"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."

"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."

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

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

"Integration with Azure DevOps could be improved to facilitate better communication between the two systems."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."

"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."

"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"The biggest con for Planisware is that if you are not a Planisware partner, you don't have access to their functions, making it difficult for beginners and new team members."

"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."

"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."

"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."

"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."

"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 pricing of Workfront is completely license based."

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."

"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."

"There are training and certification costs."

"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."

"It comes with a high cost."

"The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."
