Adobe Workfront vs SAP Portfolio and Project Management comparison

"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."

"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."

"The tool is very user-friendly."

"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."

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

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

"The solution is stable."

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

"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."

"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."

"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The platform's support structure needs improvement."

"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."

"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."

"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 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."

"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."

"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."

"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."

"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
