Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."
"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."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"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."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The product makes it easy to collaborate even though it can use some improvement in that area."
"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"The tool helps us achieve more within the stipulated timeline and budget."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"It would be really nice if the solution provided a heads-up every time they enhance something or add new features."
"The HR aspect of the solution could be improved."
"With Jira, an issue that arises is the length of time it takes to show certain data."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
