I have one workspace for all of my assistants to research. This workspace can also be shared which is awesome.

Ease of use coupled with it's compatibilty with many additional apps like messenger apps whatsapp, facebook, and productivity apps like trello and monday.

Shift is a great platform for those trying to manage multiple emails. Bouncing between calendars and Google Drives is super helpful.

Such a great product for anyone with multiple emails and ways of communicating. I feel like I’m actually on top of my emails and messages.

I loved the software the minute I watched the promo. Thought it was too good to be true, then tried the free version and then fell in love and invested in the pro version - BEST MONEY SPENT.

There are still a few specific features I really want from Shift,  but customer service is great.

An interesting and elegant solution to a cluttered desktop.

The customer service has been spectacular, and always very responsive.

It's a marvel of design that combines simplicity, ease-of-use, and powerful functionality into a single window with multiple panes.

I love the simplicity of having multiple Gmail accounts logged in and not have 10 windows open- easy to access G-drive- and other software like Frame.io.

If you are professional willing to invest in an app that may well save you time and money in the long run, then this might be a perfect fit.

I do not see this problem on the Mac side at all where I can leave it open all the time and never have the same problem.

Worst Customer Service and product I have ever purchased.

I love having all of my email accounts and frequently used web apps in one client. It has a clean, attractive design, and it performs well.

I love the Gmail integration, I love how easy it is to get to my Google calender, Google Drive and gmail all from the same tab.

Love the features and the functionality, but it would be great if the integrations worked with the free version.

Adore the integration with apps like WhatsApp, Slack and HootSuite--it's like having my very own personalized terminal with all of the solutions I need to get my work done efficiently.

Time is money in my line of work so I know if it is able to make me more efficient, then it can help just about any entrepreneur.

Shift is such a beautifully simple solution to unite productivity platforms, I'm amazed someone didn't build this sooner.

Sift is a great product that was super easy to use and pick up on.

I wish it were cheaper, but I can see the value of the product ad why it costs what it does. It has saved me hours of time opening and logging into separate email accounts multiple times a day.

I loved the product but felt there was a significant disconnect with customer support that made it impossible to benefit from the Shift in a reliable way.

My overall experience has been pleasant with Shift. I do like having everything in one window however I just wish it was a bit cheaper.

Amazing way of pulling all your communication software together.

It’s inability to function with our company outlook email without a workaround is a serious inconvenience.

Shift is fairly easy to use and customer support has been great. There are times when Shift has a bit of a delay in loading or reacting to my mouse clicks, but overall, I'm very pleased.

I really like the ease of use of the application. I like not having a million tabs open on my internet browser.

I love the amount of apps it integrates with. It’s brilliant and almost perfect.

NOW, it does not work and locks up the application completely, to the point that I have no choice but to remove it from my shift.

I have already blocked from my mind how awful it was to log in and out of software all the time in a regular browser.

It also routinely LOGGED ME OUT of my logged in accounts. With hubspot the gmail integration was poor for workflow I explained this to their support.

I like the possibility to access Workfront through different devices and the responsiveness of the support staff.

For this one, I had to reach out to a co-worker to figure out where to find the components I needed efficiently; there was a lot of guessing and wasted time in the beginning.

The ease of use for collaborating on a project, while also being able to customize it for your liking with the notifications.

With some of the updates in the software our team has been a little lost.

It has a nice integrated solutions, it’s simplistic for the basic user.

I love the fact that this software can either be very simple or very robust based on the needs of the project or its team members.

We have also experienced some issues with lost functionality due to upgrades which can be frustrating for users.

The reporting capabilities is terrific, very robust, and most importantly, easy to use. It has everything we need, and even things we didn't know we needed.

I love how easy workfront is to navigate and communicate with people collaborating on the same projects. It has so many options for use and is super intuitive to use.

Simplified routing and decision-making in the integrated ProofHQ module, highly organized file sharing, better tagging functionality than comparable project management software.

It’s perfect for keeping the team organized and on track, and it helps us make sure we aren’t spending to much time on certain projects.

The most important thing is that their support team worked with us from the beginning to create a platform that best fits our job environment.

It's well-built and powerful in helping you manage all aspects and tasks involved in a project of any size.

I enjoyed using Workfront to track project execution and time associated with projects. It was very effective and efficient at that purpose.

Ability for customization and reporting is great.

It also gets confusing with the different levels and their hierarchical order, which I think even they get lost in sometimes themselves.

No risk tracking throughout the project lifecycle. Unable to import a project plan back into the same project.

Workfront resolved these issues at a mid-level price point for a small to medium-sized business or agency.

I worst thing I can say is a couple times of year we have a client or Sales Rep. that has a problem with the app.

At times is is difficult to identify where to find our projects. As of now, there are two pages that display your current projects differently, and that can be confusing.

Well versed community to share and learn. Detailed workflow breakdown of projects.

However, the problem is usually fix that same day and sometimes it is user error and not the program at all.

I have very good experience to use the workfront and I recommend my all the clients to use it though it is costly.

The only thing I don't like about Workfront is that it was unable to meet the criteria needed by my company to continue to be used.

This reporting capability of Workfront also helped my manager provide budget and resources support, when needed.

I like how it is easy to tag someone in a project to notify them of your comment. This makes collaboration easy, and it's a nice way to remind someone of a task.

Frustrating Software That You Have to Bend to Your Needs.

The client can easily use the tools at the top of the page to highlight or point to what they want changed. The client can ask us questions and we can answer them all in the same place.

Workfront allows us to see the budget and the progress of the project. It is very important for us to monitor the budget regularly.

I love the ability to see or post an update on the project, tag someone when you have a question, and lay out the timeline in the gantt charts.

Your power browser.

Shift is the first browser to merge all your web apps into one powerful window. Streamline everything you do online when you install Shift and access thousands of apps without leaving your browser. Connect all of your Gmail, Outlook, and Office 365 accounts and manage everything from one centralized window. Build out your Shift browser with apps that integrate seamlessly so you have ultra-fast access to all the tools you use to stream, shop, work, browse, and stay connected. Shift brings it all together.

We don’t use the internet for a simple search anymore. Every day, we juggle apps, hundreds of tabs, and multiple accounts—but while big browsers make that feel messy, Shift makes it simple. Tired of logging in and out? Stay logged into multiple accounts within the same app so you can toggle between profiles easily. Create multiple browser workspaces that keep different kinds of tabs, bookmarks, apps, and inboxes separate. 

Email management (Gmail, GSuite, Outlook, Office 365, Yahoo! Mail)

Adobe Workfront is a collaborative work management solution that addresses the challenges of disconnected teams, siloed tools, and the relentless pace of enterprise work. Workfront includes capabilities to capture and plan, assign and execute, and deliver and measure work in a variety of use cases for organizations of all sizes and in all industries. With Workfront, these organizations can prioritize the right work, quickly identify bottlenecks, automate processes, and deliver measurable outcomes. At every stage of planning and executing work, Adobe Workfront enables the business capabilities companies need to scale and win in the market, all in one collaborative platform.

Adobe Workfront also allows organizations to:

•Collaborate, manage review and approval cycles, and automate project workflows—whether they’re in the office or on the go, and all without leaving the context of their work.
•Centralize IT work and manage critical projects more iteratively and with greater fidelity to plan, schedule, and budget.
•Set realistic expectations—and meet or exceed them—with features like task and resource management, capacity planning, Gantt charts, and time tracking.
•Take advantage of portfolio optimization and business case tools to focus on the right work and implement the most advantageous plans.
•Manage resources to balance workloads, reduce burnout, and enable accurate forecasting, capacity planning, and decision making.
•Compare multiple scenarios to optimize goal achievement and then make data-driven decisions (or quickly pivot to seize new opportunities) based on impact.
•Consolidate incoming requests into a single queue for easy prioritization—and then manage tasks in a single, social media-inspired view.
•Leverage templates to standardize business processes, increase efficiency and compliance, and avoid recreating the wheel.

A dedicated integration platform, Workfront Fusion, is also available separately to facilitate integration with virtually any modern cloud-based application.

Workfront is a fully cloud-based system that is sold on a subscription basis. Different plans and user licenses are available to support a variety of enterprise configurations and needs. Workfront implementation is customized to each customer’s requirements, so professional services (delivered either through Adobe Customer Solutions or our extensive network of partners) are required.
