Workfront Reviews & Product Details

I like that Workfront keeps everything together and gives better visibility across projects. It helps a lot with tracking tasks, owners, deadlines, and approvals, especially when multiple people or teams are involved. It makes things feel less scattered and more structured, which is useful in busy work environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be kind of hard to learn in the beginning and sometimes feels more complicated than it needs to be. A few parts of it are not super intuitive, and simple updates can take longer than expected. It works well once you’re in it regularly, but there is definetly a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the notifications and visibility features in Workfront. They really help me track multiple workflows to manage my daily tasks effectively. The scheduling work feature is also valuable because it helps me know what needs to be completed and when across various workstreams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the proofing and approvals feature messy and not intuitive, especially for complex approval processes. Also, the initial setup of Workfront was difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy Workfront for its ability to provide a consolidated single pane of glass. It really helps me view marketing campaigns and understand where they are in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult to configure and constantly stay up to date on process for a large organization. The initial setup was also difficult since there were lots of different teams with disparate processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Workfront can be used for many use cases. It can be adapted to create helpful workflows for different use cases, which I find really versatile. I appreciate that it keeps the creative materials submitted connected to the request and keeps all communication on one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is not as flexible as our users would like. The initial setup was not that easy—we needed Adobe consultants to help guide us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Workfront because it allows the use of Fusion to automate repetitive tasks. This feature is really helpful as it helps customize the level of automation needed for projects, which is a big time saver and streamlines my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need someone with Fusion experience to help navigate the Fusion automation. The learning curve is really steep to get very good at Workfront, although it's easy for a novice to do basic tasks. The initial setup was very difficult due to its complexity, requiring us to hire an external consulting team and experts full time, taking six months to a year to have our first project pilot. We really loved the Workfront Outlook integration, but that has been deprecated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Workfront is a great place for project organization and role assignments. The historical project record has been crucial as our brand transitioned to a new name several years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that sometimes changes to user project view is not easy to identify. One member of our team had a different view than I did and it was difficult to identify why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Workfront's easy interface and prompting, which makes it simple to direct and ask for tasks with clear action items. The initial setup was straightforward and easy, which was a relief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the need for more white space on the single view screen to be an issue. Also, categorizing content between marketing and brand inputs and outputs could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Workfront to be a time-saving and easy-to-use platform. It's efficient and helps improve the quality of work. The request intake forms and templates are great for standardizing required information, which makes repeatable work faster and allows new staff to follow the same structure. The live status across the team helps with strict governance and transparency. I also appreciate how easy it has become to manage tasks, assign owners, and track progress.

I find Workfront's UI could be more intuitive and modern. The flow feels complicated with too many options. I'd like improvements in the report builder UX and feel the agile and scrum capabilities are weaker compared to other tools. Also, the AI could be more practical by adding features like project health assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workfront offers many promising features, such as Priorities, Canvas Dashboards, and Planning. The API is extensive.

Adobe branding is a name that many outsiders associate with professional products.

The community, especially through Experience League, is both good and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately the UI / UX is quite outdated. It would be nice, if some newer Web-Framework would be used. Getting together necessary information requires a lot of clicks.

In our context we need a huge amount of individual customisation. Each customer has different needs. Workfront offers many interesting approaches, but it is often unclear whether we are relying on a solution that will still be viable in the future.

Many functions seem to have been neglected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Workfront because it's an excellent project and workflow management system. Its collaborative feature and strong data analytics help me a lot. Managing tasks, planning, giving approvals, and sorting files are super easy because everything is in a single place. This makes it really easy to manage a large portfolio.

The learning curve- I must say, the learning modules should be easy so that new users don't struggle with setup. It's expensive as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
