Pros
"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.""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.""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 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.""The intake feature is the most valuable in Workfront.""Monitoring the progress of projects and tasks is very effective.""The tool is very user-friendly.""The solution is stable."

"Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive.""I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward.""I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello.""Kanban is the best feature of the tool.""It can be used online or as an application from anywhere.""The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers.""What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done.""While Nasuni has a learning curve, it becomes user-friendly once mastered."

Cons
"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.""The solution's visualization feature could be user-friendly.""The interface can also be customized to fit and accept many tools for better performance and customer service improvement.""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.""Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof.""We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."

More Adobe Workfront Cons →

"There aren't as many tracking tools.""The solution could be priced cheaper.""The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited.""It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us.""As a team board it did not work well for us.""Reporting features could be improved.""Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS.""If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
  • "Adobe purchased Workfront in the past year, and they're putting work into developing the platform, so I expect the price to rise. It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable for the value it provides. It isn't Monday.com where you pick a license with a set price, and you've got a project manager."
  • "We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
  • "Speaking about pricing, I wouldn't recommend it to a smaller company because I do think the price point is higher than other solutions that can work."
  • "The pricing is a barrier to implementation. It is expensive compared to other competitors. Speaking about licensing, they have a private manager license for $1000, which you can use for administration as well. Then they offer a worker license for $500, and then a reviewer or contributor license which is free."

  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."

    Top Answer:All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation.
    Top Answer:Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first. The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this… more »
