- Lack of transparency into road-mapped features; teasing functionality, but dropping without much notification - Seemingly hoarded documentation and deep-discussion platforms, with little to no training or informational communities outside of the Experience League, which tends to not yield much in the way of issue-specific troubleshooting - Lack of physical asset tracking, such as equipment, room scheduling, or asset checkout. In a marketing production environment, the ability to schedule and track physical resources is a major aspect.
Read Full Review- Bulk updates are slow, cumbersome, or fail - Lack of rich text in description fields - Doesn't track all the information needed or provide automation required for agile development work - Lack of transparency in product roadmap

Reporting Flexibility Praised While Transparency, Documentation, And Asset Tracking Needs Improvement
I have used Workfront for 6 years, and it has been an amazing tool for project management, insight, and our system of record. It is a broad tool, and I often tell people, "If there's one way to do something in Workfront, there's probably three more". The ability to allow users to custom-craft their own reports and develop their own bespoke environment has been invaluable. Some pain points arise from a lack of in-depth documented training material (it is mostly broadly addressing the issues for which we're troubleshooting), which usually results in lengthy deep-dives into Experience League to try to glean information from community comments and questions, which often tend to not have responses from Admins, experts, or have clear-cut solutions to our common problems. - Financial Operations Manager1B-10B USDRetailReview Source

Workfront Challenged by Bulk Updates and Limited Descriptions for Large Projects
Workfront works fine for most situations as a project management tool, but there are some situations where it has fallen flat: - Handling bulk updates for large projects or a large group of tasks is slow, cumbersome and causes frustration - Lack of rich text on descriptions makes it difficult for users to use descriptions effectively - Lack of automation and tracking opportunities to make it an effective PM tool for our web development team These situations have created detractors in our organization that are dissatisfied with Workfront's service. It also continues to become more expensive for us, especially with the need for additional Fusion integration to support automation. - Engineer1B-10B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
