	Adobe Workfront	Asana
Considered Both Products	Adobe Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront My organization used Adobe Workfront due to familiarity with other Adobe products. But it was more manual than the system is replaced (DaVinci Workflow) so it was a struggle for my team at first. Using Asana currently, but we don’t have the full version with proofing so can’t … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront Workfront is more robust and versatile than Asana and Smartsheets, which is why we did not go with those tools. It is pretty comparable to Wrike in many ways. We use Workfront over Wrike because we are set up in Workfront already. Incentivized Helpful? Casey Gold Associate Director, Digital Strategy in Marketing at Scout Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront I would find that feature-to-feature comparisons and extensive features put Workfront at the same class level as Workamajig. It may come down to preferences and UX of the platform that would make for the ultimate decision on which to go with for project management needs. Asana … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront We also use Wrike and Asana. Workfront is way better for in-depth reporting compared to Asana, but lacks the intuitive task management that Asana offers. Asana is just easier to use. Workfront is night and day better than Wrike in almost every aspect. Better reporting, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront WorkFront feels like a chore to use as compared to friendly/easy Asana. Workfront is much more complex and the interface is busy and off-putting for many (but has much more functionality). It has a much more robust predecessor functionality which is one of the main reason we … Incentivized Helpful? Mitch Kocen Technical Writer in Product Management at Palo Alto Networks (Computer & Network Security, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront Workamajig is great specifically for marketing project management. Jira is great specifically for software development project management. However, if you want all of the company on the same PM software, you need something less purpose-built. Asana is good for both, but lacks … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront It’s championed for an enterprise platform. Robust to be unique to different workstreams. Incentivized Helpful? Pricillar Nyokabi Medical Practitioner in Marketing at Kenyatta National Hospital. (Hospital & Health Care, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront I love that Workfront is easy to configure and change as your organization grows. It's easy to stay up to speed with and make changes based on system changes and your organization changing. I also am in love with the reporting and custom data features. Custom forms and the … Incentivized Helpful? Faith Mutheu Public Relations Coordinator in Quality Assurance at Brighten A Soul Foundation (BASFI) (Hospitality, 51-200 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront Compared to other software which the organization had implemented before, Workfront has proved to be the best because of its detailed project reporting capabilities. Also, its ability to facilitate virtual proofing has been of great benefit to our project planning team. … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Melder Process Optimization Analyst in Corporate at Quad (Printing, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe Workfront Our team chose to implement Workfront for its detailed project reporting capabilities. Furthermore, Workfront's ability to perform complex virtual proofing is a huge benefit to our work team. Overall, my team's experience has been extremely positive as we continue to implement … Incentivized Helpful? Adam Bain Sr. Creative Director in Marketing (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront Since our team has over 5 separate divisions (each with different specialties), service dozens of clients and work with more than 40 different vendors - Workfront had the depth of features for project managers that we needed for this type of complexity. Incentivized Helpful? Stacy Mutnick Project Management Consultant at Microsoft (Computer Software, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe Workfront Workfront is more flexible and robust Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront Workfront beats them all hands down. Asana was too simplistic for our needs, Wrike was very clunky and didn't handle the finances very well. Clarizen didn't have document approvals and collaboration that we needed. Workfront was a great mix of ease of use, complexity, and … Incentivized Helpful? Tim Wendland Director of IT Strategic Development in Information Technology at OPIS (Oil & Energy, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe Workfront The team collaboration and communication tools won over our users! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront For agile, I prefer the Atlassian suite, but for waterfall projects, Workfront was the right choice. In choosing Workfront (then AtTask), I made a weighted grid of features and benefits of a number of project management tools, including WorkZone, Asana, Celoxis, MS Project, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Workfront Asana: Lacked a level of management above projects and tasks. Timesheets, expense tracking, and reporting capabilities are not native. All require 3rd party applications, often at an additional cost. Unable to create custom data. Lacks a scheduling feature. Basecamp: Lacked a … Helpful?	Asana Jessica Sforza Senior Project Manager in Marketing at Ingenuity Design (Design, 11-50 employees) Chose Asana The other agency we were working with selected Asana as it's a tool with easy access. Other more broad project management tools require contracts and setup time, this is easy to create an account and login to. We used it for one project and it helped give a full picture of the … Incentivized Helpful? Ray Smith Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Homes & Land (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Asana Asana is very simple and straight forward, other more expensive products offer more features but require you to do project management their way. Asana provides a nice interface for task management. Incentivized Helpful?
