Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Workfront

At our organization, we use Adobe Workfront primarily as a project management tool within our brand and marketing teams. Adobe Workfront allows us to effectively track progress on projects that cross multiple teams and require the support of a diverse group of stakeholders. As a result, it is used in a wide range of projects hanging from adding new sections to sites to implementing new marketing pixels.

Pros

  • Easy to create projects and add tasks to them
  • Easy to tag and loop in different people
  • Is fairly easy to keep track of progress being made on specific projects and their sub tasks

Cons

  • It can sometimes be a bit difficult to keep track of multiple projects
  • Hard to include people who do not have a Adobe Workfront account
  • I wish there were better notifications around when tasks are removed or you are unassigned from a task
  • Reduces overall overhead with tracking projects and progress, thus freeing up time for involved parties to focus on other tasks
  • Licensing complexity and access issues have historically led to a lot of extra time being spent on set up, which reduces overall productivity
  • Integrations with other tools in our tool stack generally work well and allow us to expand on our capabilities with Adobe Workfront
While I consider Jira to have a somewhat different targeted use case from Adobe Workfront, they definitely overlap in some of their capabilities. As mentioned earlier, I find that Adobe Workfront is better at tracking progress and managing resources for larger projects that cross a number disparate teams or stakeholders. Meanwhile, Jira is better for tracking individual projects within a single team or smaller tasks, something that can be a bit harder to do at scale in Adobe Workfront.

Do you think Adobe Workfront delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Adobe Workfront's feature set?

Yes

Did Adobe Workfront live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Adobe Workfront go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Workfront again?

Yes

Like I said earlier, Adobe Workfront is useful for tracking projects and progress being made on these projects across multiple teams. It excels at pulling in people from different teams and tracking progress within large, singular projects. However, I find it is less well suited to tracking multiple or smaller projects and there are likely more effective tools for projects that only require one team or less cross team collaboration.
