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."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."
"Feature-wise, I would say that its overall ability to be infinitely customizable is valuable...My experience with the support team has been amazing."
"Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective."
"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 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."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"The solution appears to be quite stable."
"Asana's most valuable aspect is its ability to consolidate all tasks and projects onto a single board, allowing for seamless navigation through timelines from start to finish. Additionally, it enables the inclusion of key stakeholders and provides a private communication channel for discreet discussions. The organizational component of Asana is particularly beneficial, including its coding features."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"It's an easy way to communicate."
"The tool has a lot of integrations."
"I love the way it monitors all of the current and past projects, and it sends notifications to keep everything on the track."
"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."
"The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly."
"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."
"I would say that the stability, honestly, has gone down since the Adobe acquisition, and the quality when they roll out their updates."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"Workfront's reporting capabilities must be improved."
"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."
"If you have been using a tool like Jira for many years, it make time some time to get used to the minimalist layout in Asana."
"More features can be added."
"Some updates are outdated, and their functionalities can affect the end outcomes."
"You need to have an action plan, otherwise, it won't be as effective."
"I rate the support from Asana a four out of five."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"The product's page is not user-friendly."
"The product must reduce the information on the interface."
