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.

Centralized project documents have improved remote collaboration but task workflows remain confusing
Regarding Procore Project Management's task scheduling feature for reducing project delays, I did not use the task management feature very much because it seemed difficult to set up. I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional. Some of the features were hard to navigate through. I also found that true with some of the Whole Foods employees who were trying to use it. They were confused on how to approve things and get things completed in the task management. Additionally, some of the change order approval processes were unclear. They did not know how to approve them. When uploading a task, it was confusing to identify who was the approver of that document because the responsibility was doubled up. The task management section and the distribution list along with the project approval person designation were difficult and confusing to navigate through.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adobe Workfront offers a streamlined process that is more user-friendly compared to other tools in the market, providing comprehensive features with built-in integration for creative tools, addressing the pain point of creative collaboration in the content supply chain."
"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."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"Instead of following everything on email, business users can track everything on Adobe Workfront when the other systems are integrated with it."
"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."
"Adobe Workfront is a very broad platform, and when examining its primary function, it excels at project management and collaborative work management, with flexibility that allows it to be used for many things beyond overall project management in terms of general metadata compiling."
"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."
"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."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."
"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."
"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
"What I appreciate about using Procore Project Management is the convenience of putting everything in one location, where pictures, schedules, blueprints, drawings, change orders, and all documents are accessible in one platform."
 

Cons

"Improving the efficiency of converting issues to projects is also essential; when converting issues to projects, users should remain on the same page rather than being redirected."
"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."
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."
"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."
"My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better."
"Their agile tools are not as good as they could be, not as good as competitor products."
"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."
"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."
"I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
