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.

In my opinion, the best features of Trimble Project Management are that it is quite good as a database and process, and it has been working well for us. The big challenge is on the reporting side; it does not provide great dashboards and that type of functionality. Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it. It is a project management information system, so it is very important to have for our organization. Trimble Project Management's real-time data integration has been a valuable feature; we have a data warehouse that it sends information to, and we use Tableau to create dashboards.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtTask is quite easy to learn and use to manage simple projects."
"I like being able to update the status of my projects so everyone can have visibility to what I am working on and its status."
"The usability of the system has been great, it was by far the easiest product to use based on the products that we reviewed and the adoption with the use of the product has been great in terms of people understanding the system."
"When compared with other project management tools or workflow tools, Adobe Workfront is far better than other tools in the market now."
"Easy sharing within our organization of data and information about running projects."
"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"It is a great tool and functions well across an organization."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it."
 

Cons

"Some of my reporting needs, I have had to add custom calculations and when I have called to get help, they say it is a custom ask."
"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."
"The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement."
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."
"Some of the specific functions in the system can get a little quirky and could use some help, but those are really for unique cases and not general system functionality."
"As with any software, some bugs exist."
"We have experienced multiple problems as a result."
"Sometimes, new users find it a bit difficult to handle Adobe Workfront."
"The reporting does exist, but it is not great."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
