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."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."
"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."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"There are so many automations to streamline everyday tasks and reduce click counts when doing admin work. It is incredible."
"It keeps everyone on the same page and gives us a way to streamline our projects and client communication."
"I love the time-tracking feature."
"The board function allows you to create a digitized to-do list."
"I especially like the dashboards where you can combine info from different boards into one."
"Shared boards help entire teams to plan out campaigns with ease and clarity."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the boards on Monday which allow for allocation, time tracking, and storing of important information."
"I like the update feature. It's almost like you can replace email with it. You can communicate on a particular item within monday.com, and then you can see the history of who commented, when they commented, what they said, and the reply to what they said. It's much easier to follow up on a particular item than have a thousand emails going back and forth. In a big project, you can usually have a ton of emails. If you use monday.com as a communication tool, you can almost eliminate email and have better tracking on what was done, when it was done, and what was said about the items. That's probably my favorite feature."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"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."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"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."
"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."
"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."
"A more personalized dashboard displaying each account's unfinished assignments would be helpful."
"I'm not such a fan of the infinite scroll to the right."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"There are a lot of ways that monday.com does not work, for example, when it comes to HRMS. A particular employee can't apply for leave or check the status of a leave request or check his 401(k) status. Those are things that are missing in monday.com."
"I have just started to use this solution, and there are no new features that I need at this time, but it could be more user-friendly."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"Being able to create 'sub-teams' so people in these teams can be assigned to tasks in one go and receive updates on the progress of tasks would be useful."
"Having more integrations for different specialties that use Monday would be great."
