"Workfront for project management"
What do you like best about Workfront?

The Workfront platform has a variety of different features that can be customised to specific requirements, ensuring that the best configuration is in place for your particular use case.

One key benefit of the project planning side, is the ability to have templates that can readily be copied and pasted into new projects where there are reproducible steps in a process. This massively streamlines the planning stage and, with the export feature, is readily accessible to clients to monitor the progress and milestone dates in a simple, Excel output.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

The limited functionality for "undo" as a standard-level user. If you accidentally delete a work project item in a project plan, it requires support from an admin to reinstate (if at all). This can be time consuming and a self-serve option to revert the error would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workfront?

There aren’t many negative aspects to Workfront. The only issues I recall are related to the file size limit and the API limit, which I found challenging at times. Other than that, there isn’t much that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
