Workfront Vs. Clarizen

Avatar

Level 4
Hi Everyone, I'm trying to quickly pull together some information about the advantages of Workfront over Clarizen from an experienced customer standpoint. If you replaced Clarizen with Workfront, or if you've used Clarizen in the past and can compare the two solutions, I'd love to collect your thoughts here. Thanks in advance for your help with this!

I deployed Clarizen when I was at Peregrine Semiconductor. The user interface was crap and getting users to adopt was basically impossible. If you want people to use a tool and live in it all day the UI has to be a seamless application experience. It looks like they upgraded their UI since the last time I worked with it so maybe there has been some improvement. I don't recall why we selected Clarize initially. I believe it had something to do with getting somewhat hard sell sales tactics from Workfront pissing off the buyer. Craig Lathrop Integrated Device Technology

I have never used Clarizen, but we did a full evaluation of them vs Workfront and chose Workfront. My results summary is included below: "Clarizen did provide several strong features (e.g. project status report template, add-ons from the apps Marketplace, vacation time approvals reflected automatically in user calendar once approved), but overall it came down to personal preference for our managers' and teams' use for request and project management as well as timesheet entry within a clean, uncluttered UI." ~ which Workfront provided. We also noted a huge disadvantage of managing user licenses for what Workfront calls "collaborators". Workfront allowed us to easily add as many collaborators as we wanted as part of their licensing package, so we could focus on the main users (our team of ~ 30). Clarizen would have meant I, as a sysadmin, would be managing paid licenses for over 200+ who may not use it daily and a user group who could be active/deactivated quite frequently.
