Wrike Reviews

Wrike is quick and easy to setup. It has clean interface with variant functionality. Well its initutive with smooth navigation and flexible for team collaboration where users are able to organize the workforce and utilize the resources at work.

With its rock- solid performance at work, I couldn't notice demerits with the app. However, its quite expensive when it comes to pricing. But the features we are getting up with the app purchase is at the top, and can't deny that its way better than other competitive project management tools.

The ease-of use, agile nature of the tool makes this project 10 times better than the rigid project management tool we were using before. The software is not overly complex or complicated to navigate/learn, which has made the transition from our old tool to Wrike an absolute breeze!

The local/downloadable application responsiveness can be rather sluggish at times and slow. For this reason, some time can be lost waiting for the server to catch up with the local application.

Ease of use, dashboards are helpful and easy to setup and mobile app

Lack of functionality with recurring tasks. Unable to create recurring tasks with sub-tasks.

I like that all communications are recorded in Wrike and make for an easy reference in case of questions. I really like the accountability it creates for outside parties using the application with our department. This has shut down a lot of "I didn't say that's" since we've implemented the program.

I would like to see the ability to insert documents such as Word or photos into the markup area of the online proofs. There are times where this would be more helpful than referencing a document that you have attached to the library.

The fact we could set it up in a format that suited our business and that we can change as the company changes.

The mobile app is not as good as the web app.

Allows for collaboration from multiple disciplines in the project/design cycle. Keeps all information from email communications, media drafts, edits and creative briefs in one location for all to view. Wrike generates easy-to-use/interoperate reports to help assess KPIs and year-end data.

There could be easier integration of specific values to be created in "forms, " allowing reports to generate custom data. Also, the ability to customize auto emails after "form" submissions that indicate to the user that the task or project has been assigned. More features that allow for greater communication with client.

I'm currently building out more custom item types now because I think they're very helpful for creating templates for specific projects we're working on. The ability to integrate request forms into our workflow makes it easy to process requests from outside departments.

I'm confused why custom item types and custom fields are segregated to workspaces. I can't find one comprehensive place to view and edit all my fields and item types for our entire system. That leads to duplicate entries and confusion when trying to assign these to projects/tasks.

The customizable workflows, item types, and automations that have been developed in the last few years have taken Wrike from being another project management platform to being a robust set of tools that can have great impact on streamlining projects. Wrike provides a great framework for project management, while being flexible enough to make the platform match your own processes.

Reporting could be more robust. Custom item types needs further development.

I like the collaboration features, that I can AT mention my colleagues to get quick feedback or assign them tasks when we work on projects together as a team. The "My To Do" and "Calendar" views are helpful so I can see what I have coming up next without being overwhelmed by a mountain of projects and tasks that aren't due to begin just yet.

Because it is so customizable, it was a work in progress getting started and figuring out just what the software could do best. It is still a work in progress learning all of the features available and integrating them into our business.

The product is very useful when collaborating with other team members. It promotes clarity, transparency, and efficiency with teamwork. I also like that it is very user-friendly, and the development team seems to be consistently improving the functions.

When I first started working, I found Wrike very helpful in planning all of my work training and setting learning objectives. However, now that I am through with training, I have found that my team members don't use Wrike, so I never use it collaboratively. I have also found that I no longer log into Wrike to organize my own time and tasks because I'd rather just jot down a note of things I need to do.

The UI/UX was superb. The font and graphics were easy on the eyes. Planning tasks and adding task was very easy once past the learning curve.

I don't like that the Gantt chart was behind a subscription paywall. The only reason I subscribed was for the Gantt chart, which was very useful.

Wrike has greatly increased our efficiency across our teams. Our department has transitioned from a fully in-office team to a fully remote team to a hybrid working environment in just two short years, and thanks to Wrike, our project schedules remained on track no matter in what environment we work. The video onboarding tools built within Wrike helped each team member get started at their own pace, and the onboarding videos themselves are quite engaging and creative. Once established, our team has effectively created a high-functioning workspace in which to manage digital and print production, campaign management, and other organization. Some of our favorite features include the following. - A Gantt chart can be created so that once a task is completed, the assignee of the next task is instantly notified that they can start working on their assigned task. The Gantt chart also automatically adjusts deadlines across all items when a campaign deployment date is updated, saving us time from having to manually update dates for each task within a project. - Calendars provide us with a way to share our email campaign deployment dates company-wide and to assess workload distribution across teams. - Dashboards can be built for personal use or for team use, and customizable widgets mean that the possibilities are endless for dashboard items to display. - Forms can be programmed to use Blueprints to create and map projects/tasks automatically once submitted.

We are a small team without a dedicated project manager, and team members are required to manage their own projects. The onboarding process was lengthy, as the tool required our team to think differently about mapping project schedules. For example, if a task is created from a blueprint and the team member doesn't individualize the name of the task, Wrike may assume that the task is the same as others with the same name. Then, that one particular task will live in multiple projects. So, when a team member marks that one task as completed, Wrike will mark it as completed in all projects. This is wonderful if intentional, but it was confusing at first to some who were accustomed to linear project management tools.There are many different ways to set up projects on Wrike, which is a benefit as much as it could potentially be cumbersome. To ensure that our team members had an understanding of where to find things on Wrike and of the expectations for how we wanted to use this project management tool, we established a staff subcommittee to create a quick-reference guide that detailed the organizational structures, processes, or settings that we agreed to as a team. It worked really well for us to have a central document outlining the folder structures and notification settings for our team in addition to the onboarding tools that Wrike provided.

I'm a big fan of squeezing every additional second of my day, and as such, I'm constantly trying to do more in less time! Wrike keeps my projects on-time & on-budget, while allowing client collaboration.

I haven't found any major issues, perhaps the setup could be a little less involved but if you put in the time, you reap the rewards of a top project management tool.

Write is a very interesting tool for content creation and easy workflow management and planning. In addition, this software offers many interesting features such as the creation of multiple drafts and with the ability to access them anywhere, time management. It facilitates the writing and publishing of my working documents.

Write has a lot of features and I find it very good but personally I find that some of these features are not useful. Also, it is sometimes slow, which often makes it difficult to manage some workflows. Fortunately not all the time. That's why I like this software. In short, I think it should be faster, it should also allow us to schedule our articles for later.

We were looking for a full project management suite our PM was focused on a robust tool that met all of the PM standards and requirements. As we reviewed various software suites we found that although many met their needs, they were very difficult to use and understand for non-project oriented staff; this was critical for us many staff are required to interact with the Projects Division as part of their stakeholder and SME roles. We were very happy to see Wrike had a friendly and very usable interface that non-PM focused users could interact with easily.

As an admin level user for myself it is very easy to get 'lost' within Wrike, as I have access to all projects, tasks and PM features. Although note that this isn't a fault of the software but rather how we configured our environment and user access.

Wrike is a project management and collaboration tool that helps teams organize, plan, and track their work. It offers a range of features including task management, team collaboration, time tracking, resource planning, and reporting. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for teams to quickly get up and running.One of the standout features of Wrike is its customization options. Teams can easily configure the platform to meet their specific needs and workflows. Additionally, Wrike integrates with a wide range of other tools, including Google Apps, Microsoft Office, and Trello, making it a flexible and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes.Another great feature is the real-time updates and collaboration capabilities, which allow team members to work together on tasks in real-time, reducing the need for excessive emails and meetings. This leads to improved team communication and increased productivity.Overall, Wrike is a comprehensive project management tool that offers a range of features and customization options to help teams stay organized and on track. Whether you're a small startup or a large enterprise, Wrike is a solid choice for managing your projects and workflows.

One potential downside of Wrike is that it can be overwhelming for new users, especially those with little experience in project management software. The platform offers a lot of features and customization options, which can be both a blessing and a curse. It takes some time to get familiar with all the features and understand how to effectively use the platform.Additionally, some users have reported that Wrike can be slow or laggy at times, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. This can be frustrating and can affect overall productivity.Another issue that some users have reported is that Wrike's mobile app could be improved, as it may not be as user-friendly or feature-rich as the desktop version.Despite these minor drawbacks, Wrike is still a highly-regarded project management tool that is widely used and respected by businesses of all sizes. If you're willing to invest the time to get familiar with its features and have the right resources to support its use, Wrike can be a valuable asset to your team.

What I like most about Wrike is how it has transformed our workflow from chaos to collaboration. With Wrike, accountability is at the forefront of every project. We can assign tasks to team members, set deadlines, and track progress in real-time, which ensures everyone is accountable for their responsibilities. Furthermore, the reminders feature ensures that deadlines are met, and nothing falls through the cracks. I also appreciate how Wrike tracks the workflow and progress of each task, allowing us to easily see what has been completed, what is currently being worked on, and what tasks are still outstanding. And with everything accessible in one click, Wrike has made it incredibly easy for our team to work together and stay on top of our education and research projects.

As with any software, there may be features that some users may feel are missing from Wrike. However, it's worth noting that Wrike is an extensive project management tool that covers many aspects of project management, from task management and time tracking to collaboration and reporting. Wrike also offers integrations with other software tools, such as Google Drive and Microsoft Office, which can help fill any gaps in functionality that some users may experience.That being said, some users may feel that certain features are missing or could be improved upon. For example, some users may prefer more advanced reporting features, or more customization options for task views. Additionally, while Wrike does offer a mobile app, some users may feel that the mobile experience could be improved.Overall, however, Wrike is a robust project management tool that offers a wide range of features, and most users find that it meets their project management needs well. If you have specific feature requests, it's always a good idea to reach out to the Wrike team and provide feedback. Wrike is continually evolving and improving, and user feedback is an important part of that process.

First, this is a pretty good tool for:
1. Nested task lists that look like a project plan
2. Task board views (if not on the free plan)
3. Customer-facing task-list dashboards

The description for the Pro plan states clearly "Full project planning and collaboration" and for the business plan "Robust work management with customization and exec reporting".

But neither plan will total up work estimates for a project based on sub-task level of effort.

Let that sink in for a moment: a "full project planning" tool that does not total up expected effort for the project plan. Yes, you can get that, but only if you buy the Resource Allocation addon for another 15 per user. Resource allocation is not the same as basic project planning (which must include level of effort estimation)

Also, the interface is a bit clunky for quick-edits and quick-adds of sub-tasks.

Appreciate the flexibility and customization options that Wrike offers, allowing teams to tailor the tool to fit their specific needs and workflows. The platform's collaboration capabilities and real-time communication features also receive positive feedback, making it easier for team members to work together and share information.Additionally, Wrike's automation features are often praised, as they help teams save time and stay organized. The platform's user-friendly interface and easy-to-use task management system are also frequently mentioned as major benefits of using Wrike.

I noted that the pricing structure for Wrike can be a bit complex, with different pricing tiers and features available.

There are many functions that Wrike has, but above them is the excellent organization that it has, allowing each aspect of the program to be in the right place. Its search function is very complete, allowing a large number of entries. These two features make it almost impossible not to get what you're looking for within Wrike. It has excellent integration with Apple operating systems, both with Mac and iPhone, which allows us to be connected at all times. Wrike has a very user-friendly and intuitive interface so even long working hours are done easily and without causing so much stress on staff. Of course, their workflows are incredible and allow a total customization of them without having to be experts in the handling of this type of software.

Although it is a very complete software, there are things that should be improved, such as adding a quick edit option so that you do not have to open a task to edit it. The linking of tasks is not your best option, it tends to leave some doubts and although with time the user gets used to it, it must take a long time to adapt. It also needs to polish its integration with Gmail a bit since it tends to be very slow.

I like that we can manage the workload, this way the effectiveness is increased without overwhelming the colleagues when specific tasks and projects are assigned, we quickly increased the workflow, the responsibility increased and the collaboration of the team has been growing, we reduced project delivery, is a simple software adaptation of all staff.

It is a product with a very expensive license, but with very easy to understand functions, so the positive results outweigh the negative, we have not presented drawbacks that are relatively greater than the benefits achieved.

Having one place to manage all of our projects throughout the entire life cycle of the project (rather than just a "ticketing" system) has been huge for my team. We use it constantly (I have it open all day, every day) and I know that we wouldn't be able to do the volume of work that we do, without having a robust project management tool.

It can be a bit of a learning curve, especially for people who aren't familiar with project management software. However, if you invest time in training up front, it pays dividends.

Wrike has proven to be a capable tool for project management at our small company. It is very simple to create hierarchical structures for large projects, from major milestones down to minute tasks. Tasks can be easily linked as dependent, and assigning tasks and setting deadlines is very simple. It allows for constant monitoring of project tasks by stakeholders, and requesting updates from assignees. Files can be shared with data or results from various tasks, and being able to hit "complete" can help establish a sense of progress on large, multi-week or month projects. There are a number of ways to view the projects (like timelines and Gantt charts), which can help with communicating timelines to those interested, and also aids in identifying bottlenecks.

Adjusting timing within a project can be extremely difficult and/or tedious, and especially so when tasks are linked via dependencies. Moving some tasks can result in all other tasks resetting timing or decoupling. THis can be very frustrating, as with large projects even a one day adjustment can be tricky. Learning to use many of the features can take a while, and there are some quirks that can lead to confusion/miscommunications (like if someone fails to put a date for a task, it just sort of moves into purgatory). The number of alerts and communication can also get very unwieldy, and the ability to adjust them is limited (either no message or a huge number).

Gantt chart -- This helps with projects that are complex and require various tasks or phases to be completed in order to develop a final project. We simply could not plan product releases effectively without this!
Folders -- Organization is incredibly important when managing projects for several different facets (customer-driven, sales-driven, marketing-driven, etc) and the fact that I can manipulate and move projects into different folders helps me watch a project as it travels through our "workflow" from inception to delivery.
Tasks -- Not only developing unlimited tasks and sub-tasks with deadlines, but also being able to assign them to different people within our teams has allowed us to have a central point to work from. I highly appreciate the ability to duplicate folders with their included tasks as our workflow is often repeated for similar projects.

I would like to see different statuses saved in different folders. Instead, the status is changed and it affects all folders globally. This has caused me some confusion or irritation at times.
With sub-tasks, I find myself wishing that changing a tasks' deadline would also change the subtasks' deadlines. When I push things forward or backward with the Gantt chart, I then have to go into each subtask and adjust them as well. Sometimes, it seems easier to make everything tasks so I can use the cause/effect of dependencies.
Duration can be confusing at times given that sometimes a task will take a bit of time daily over several days, but not necessarily all day. Group several tasks like that together and planning resources becomes difficult because you cannot distinguish how much ACTUAL time on a given day is needed for a particular project. I find myself planning by dates and not durations. I think if there were a way to use these independently, that would be helpful.

Wrike makes it simple to interact across corporate teams. The best feature is that followers for a certain job are notified when the status changes. I like the availability of training resources since it really aids in the application of the programme. I'll never miss a deadline again thanks to the reminders, and I'll be able to divide my work more effectively because I know what's coming. I really like the effort points area, where I can estimate the effort required for a certain activity using my sprint workload.

We must update the status of each ticket in Wrike. I believe that a better distinction of the duties of folders and projects would be beneficial since certain users in my company struggle to comprehend the optimal pathways for separating. I'd want to see the process of adding tasks in each sprint become more simplified. I'll check in after this review to see what more Wrike has to offer. I honestly believed that the system was for submitting job requests.
