Trello is only a board tool, not too complete as Adobe Workfront to manage the entire workflow of a team.

Likelihood to Recommend
Workfront enables us to manage all our projects effectively while providing a comprehensive overview of team resources. The Resource Planner helps the team identify their capacity to determine whether they are over- or under-allocated. This information is crucial for project planning and ensuring team members do not experience burnout.

The QMS is well suited for standardizing the steps that go along with a process. The workflows and activity ownership makes it very easy to make sure that processes are completed according to the way the workflow is displayed. It becomes very simple to track down the stage at which a process is at. Processes are done in a linear orderly manner.

Pros
  • Routing. Workfront's capabilities to route tasks to multiple people far exceeds the capabilities of SharePoint in terms of back-end configuration required and ability to track task status.
  • Form Creation. Workfront forms have a better UX than SharePoint as well as the ability to customize forms based on certain responses.
  • Project Management Tracking & Reporting. The ability to track task and project statuses and send reminders/alerts when parameters are set are very helpful. Additionally, the reporting capabilities are very helpful when tracking multiple projects across multiple functions to deliver to leadership.

  • The applications are linked to each other so that activities can be shared, collaborated and escalated in one platform.
  • Applications are sufficient "out of the box" but can be configured easily with its intuitive Design tools.
  • Users can go to their personal dashboard to stay on top of their tasks across multiple applications and monitor status of activities in progress.
  • The workflow-based applications keep activities moving forward efficiently but following standard processes.

Cons
  • Notifications (sometimes I am emailed when I am tagged, other times I am not)
  • Certain file formats do not render correctly in Workfront Proof (eg, .XLS files)
  • It can be difficult to manage projects if you have not been assigned the correct permissions.

  • Although the configuration is a "no code" approach, there is a learning curve to effecting design changes.
  • The user guide documentation provided is OK for administrators but needs to be more user-friendly for general users.
  • Importing "legacy" data from existing processes can be cumbersome.

All that I've said already is why. I suppose the clearest way to say it is that at this point? I cannot imagine running the 300+ active projects in eMarketing without AtTask; it simply wouldn't be possible and even more; I wouldn't imagine why we'd try to find an alternative tool when we have one meeting our needs.

Usability
For my needs, it's easy to jump in and out of, make changes and update projects, and check in with my employers. I haven't used to it create my own projects, they're created by my employer as we go, I suspect it's not hard to use in that way, but I don't have first-hand knowledge.

There is always resistance to change, but users are finding Intellect QMS to exceed their expectations as we migrate from our legacy "island" Sharepoint-based processes. Training is actually easiest to do hands-on, and users can learn quickly and then help train others. Users appreciate the personal navigation dashboard and the familiarity of the interface from one application to another. The workflow-driven applications are intuitive and make the system easy to navigate for all levels of users, although the learning curves will vary. The "Design-Test-Live" approach facilitates the implementation of configuration changes suggested by users.

I haven't directly interacted with the Workfront support team, but my sense, from speaking to the person in our organization who's job this is, is that they are generally very responsive to support requests, and very supportive an pro active in making sure that those requests are taken care of in a timely manner.

Implementation Rating
We have implemented and integrated Workfront into three departments (R&D, Marketing, and IT). All have experience overall performance gains in productivity. R&D has developed a record number of new products, while streamlining and reducing workloads. Complex projects are now easily managed and delivered. Marketing has expanded the management of media and collateral, implemented more campaigns and increase brand value. IT projects are all now visible and managed. Helpdesk is being converted to the system allowing for better visibility and management of day to day requests from our growing company

Alternatives Considered
While I consider Jira to have a somewhat different targeted use case from Adobe Workfront, they definitely overlap in some of their capabilities. As mentioned earlier, I find that Adobe Workfront is better at tracking progress and managing resources for larger projects that cross a number disparate teams or stakeholders. Meanwhile, Jira is better for tracking individual projects within a single team or smaller tasks, something that can be a bit harder to do at scale in Adobe Workfront.

We considered other "out of the box" platforms and decided to partner with Intellect QMS because of the ease of implementation and scalability. We went through a lot of demos and preferred the Intellect QMS user interface and responsiveness of the customer support team. The cost was competitive to launch and will allow us to add users and applications as we continue to grow. Many of the customer testimonials we reviewed pointed to Intellect QMS as the best fit for our organization.

Scalability
We have been using Workfront for about 3 years. During this time they continue to be a very stable project management system. Workfront's overall scalability is able to handle increased loads of work. When using Workfront for a project management tool for the web team, we store documents, images & video's without any issues. They work with their customer's to provide the best project management system in the market today! I highly recommend Workfront for all project management needs. Workfront strives to deliver unique technology solutions to growing companies!

  • Users appreciate the time and effort saved by having all of the QMS functions connected and in one place, without having to rely on emails, Sharepoint links multiple modes of communication to keep track of their activities and responsibilities.
  • The no-code platform means we don't need IT support to maintain and configure the applications. One administrator was able to get the system launched and effective in just several weeks, with ongoing training and customization as users and applications are added.
  • Our organization was recently certified to ISO 9001:2015. Intellect QMS helped us to navigate internal and audits confidently and effectively.
