Wrike Reviews & Product Details

A smaller but heavily used feature for us is the iCal calendar export. Using Wrike, our marketing team is now able to share the many calendars we keep with all stakeholders at our company. From a project management perspective, Wrike is our collaboration hub that allows our geographically dispersed team work effectively and seamlessly, whether in office or on the road through the app.

We're quite impressed with the tool - perhaps a more robust in-app calendar would be beneficial.

Better collaboration and transparency regarding our task delivery, both within and outside of our marketing team. We're able to track and monitor performance against objectives much more efficiently.

User interface is really good. You can customise the board as you want and the best part is that every user has the flexibility to customise the board as per their need. Wrike main USP is - it is FREE FOR FIRST 5 USERS. So we can use it for free, explore all its capabilities and then go for the paid upgrade.

The flow can be refined more to enrich the end user experience. Apart from this, I don't think there is anything which you can dislike about Wrike. Its clean, simple, easy to use.

The main problem which a business suffers is transparency of tasks which are being done. With Wrike, this problem gets solved. You get to see which task the team is working and what is the status of each task.

I used Wrike at my last job within the marketing department -- Wrike is pretty easy to get ramped up with. It allows some pretty robust functionality for marketing teams to plan, track, assign, request, and report on tasks. Good user settings. Commenting to users and setting workflows with individual campaigns/projects gives good visibility to see who has reviewed what and when. The folder and organization system is very intuitive, as is the ability to clone entire campaigns and create templates. I'd recommend Wrike if you have a dedicated project manager who will be able to be trained on the product and manage the product (then train the rest of the team if needed).

This would be a pretty hard tool to manage for a team who didn't have a dedicate project manager. There is a LOT of functionality and cool stuff you can do in Wrike to see customized reports and adding vacation days and cloning campaigns, etc etc. It would be a waste if the time was not dedicated upfront to learning the tool and really maximizing its potential.

Managing marketing campaigns, assigning tasks, reporting on completed tasks, visibility into what the marketing team is working on, collaborating with team members

easy to use, organized, straight forward layout

i feel it's too expensive monthly. It's me and my assistant, and then a client on each project/

interior design projects - easy to organize to do lists and keep all things in one place

We were able to take a process I developed in Trello and replicate and then improve it in Wrike Enterprise almost overnight. Fortunately, a Wrike employee (outside of sales and support) was familiar with the type of work we do and offered to assist in set-up and training. Processes are easy to modify. Access to tasks is easily managed and only those who need to see information have access. Easy to train people - I have onboarded about 70 people around the world without much challenge (although they don't always remember well). The new request forms are icing on the cake. We didn't request them, but I give thanks to those who did as they made my life a lot more productive by moving some work I had to do to those requesting the work.

I wish all the email addresses of everyone using the system were not public because we use it for collaborators and clients who don't all know each other. Even if we didn't, I can't imagine the CEO of a corporation really wanting their email available to everyone in the company. I love that they have how-to videos, but wish they would leave the background music behind voices off. Many people, like me, hear music louder and voices softer and have difficulty understanding what is being said or get headaches from the loud music.

We use Wrike to manage complex workflows and direct requests for freelancers to the talent who can fulfill the request. It became impossible for me to keep up with all the pending work using the combination of Trello and Skype we used before. Now I can filter by person or status and follow-up to keep work moving forward and increase the income of everyone involved.

Ease of use. Wrike is a very easy to set up and use task and lightweight project management software.

Sometimes Wrike is a bit too lightweight. It would be nice to have some gantt charts and ability to set dependencies

lightweight project and task management that doesn't necessarily fit in with the level of management provided by MS project

To be honest the tool is very simple. Yo can create task with subtasks and store note info and conversation around those tasks on the tasks. Simple, but that combination of functionality is simple missing from the other tools we have available. Spend 5 minutes with the free trial and is you have used Slack, Trello or any others, you'll quickly see how Wrike finally brings it all together

The only thing I dislike about Wrike is it's pricing structure. You can only buy it is seats of 5 which is plain stupid. I imagine they leave numerous small team sales on the table because of this shortsightedness. They have a perm free level but it lacks just a few features that suck the life out of the platform. The one that jumps to mind if subtasks.

Multitasking is hard, Wrike makes it easy. If they had screen sharing/calling I'd drop Slack and Skype as well.

The power of assigning tasks in collaborating like a facebook-like interface

Cost and the space available to the users

Where is really able to collaborate amongst the employees and get projects done quicker

I would say the best thing about Wrike is the flexibility of it. You can customize the experience exactly as you need it. We needed a solution to replace a homegrown software written by a programmer no longer employed here. Wrike was the best replacement. We are also a not for profit so the great pricing Wrike offered was another excellent positive for us.

Nothing really. We have used it for three years and it has been perfect for us. Customer service is always available for questions and the user community is excellent.

We have replaced our old IT helpdesk software. Wrike has allowed us to be better organized and more productive leading to improve customer service scores. Our ROI was immediate since this was cheaper than maintaining the solution we had in place before. Customers are now served quicker and with improved satisfaction than before we got Wrike.

Wrike improves our productivity and helps all departments of the company to manage projects. We are a development agency focused on e-commerce and our programmers, designers and ongoing department uses wrike integrated with zendesk. We already try a lot of solution but only wrike gives us a 360º solution

Wrike could have integration with bitbuket to improve development team performance

We can now see a full gant chart with all projects and see exactly when a resource will be available or not for each project.

My company manages many software development projects across a number of customers. Wrike allows me the visibility to manage all the resources and tasks in one place. The best feature is the ability of having a task defined in multiple folders. This allows visibility by whatever methods I want to use to be most productive. I can have a folder for an Entire project, a subproject, sprints, users, releases, months, weeks, etc. Whatever method helps with the visibility. The Custom workflow it also invaluable becuase it allows the tagging of tasks with statuses (with color) that jump out at the user as well as allowing filtering so you can focus on those things that need your attention. I've used many other PM tools and this by far has been the best.

More pricing levels and more granular definitions of start/end times as they apply to dependency and the gantt chart.

Better management of projects across customers.

What i like the most about Wrike is how it helps me to keep all my tasks organized, and how it reminds me to accomplish the things i need to get done by priority and due dates. Wrike can be used by any kind of business since the main role that it plays in a group of people is to keep them connected project wise, and helps a leader to assign tasks according to the amount of work that each member of the group has.

I would like that the layout of Wrike could be more user friendly, since it is a little hard to get use to it at the beginning.

I have noticed how we all know who is in charge of which project, and that has help the whole team to keep organized when the load of work gets crazy.

The real time updates and the revision tracker. That way you can see who is doing what when and if you make a mistake you can find a previous version and restore work that was lost.

The limited number of user types. I think there should be more than just two groups.

We didnt have a centeralized system to complete our processes through. We now have that system with Wrike and our work flow as increased and begun to become a smooth process.

I love that we can have all information available to everyone in the office at any given moment. With the app view, I don't even have to be at my computer to provide answers to customers and owners.

There are some very minor issues with the product; things like spell check in comments, and a calendar view of tasks would be very helpful to us.

Before Wrike, all of our jobs were laid out in an Excel spreadsheet with very little information. We had several paper copies of contracts and permits cluttering our offices that people had to physically hunt down to access. Above all, most of the information pertaining to a job was stuck in someone's head. Now that we have Wrike, everyone has the ability to check on the progress of a job at any given moment. We can communicate within a task and keep everything organized.

I like the easy way to create users, task and overall the project, you can handle by folders or as a Project directly, once you created the project you can delegate the task to your teams, track it after.

Well its not much really but in my case i dislike the way to handle the costs by task inside the projects, you have to create or adapt the way to handle the cost inside the projects or tasks

The way to track the projects and obiously to complete the projects, we solve the organization for the way to work inside the projects, we can share everything inside the tool, and it is a fun way to do it, is like you are inside a social network of your work.

It's an easy to use tool and tasks can be created, shared and organized upon needs.

Nothing I have noted as of now, but would definitely like to point them out as I observe any.

Easy to use tool compared to others used earlier.

The email integration, timelog, and dashboard.

Reporting could be better. The timelog reporting is hard to manage.

Team collaboration, managing tasks and projects.

The fact that it's impresively user friendly. It's almost like a social network for project planning where. It also has the advantage that it has a lot of project management tools rolled into one platform. Another aspect I like about Wrike is the fact that it's very compatible with google apps, sharing google docs, calendar and email notifications is great.

I don't like the fact that in some ocations the platform itself gets a little strange when you modify the size of the page. For example, when I try to resize the window in order to have access to another window with information I need to input into wrike, the platform doesn't respond as well with scrolling and viewing tasks.

When organizing a project with different people involved it becomes much easier to identify dependencies and asign workload. It's also a great way to organize activities and projects in terms of the companies structure, weather it be groups such as Marketing, Finance, etc. or something different. One final important thing that I would like to point out is that everything becomes transparent, as you can see the status of the task, track it, see how people are reacting to it and modify it, it's almost as if wrike can work as a personal notebook as well.

Wrike makes the user interface an setup customizable to a level where each user can chose to view projects and organize their work to what best fits them, not the team lead or Admin. With the custom fields and time tracking its gone from minor time tracking on one task kind of use for my programmers to multi-staged and over 250 tasks in one project reviewed with date changes and gantt chart/employee workload management views that fit even the most complex projects. Its flexible, easy and robust when you need it to be, but not when you don't want it to be. YOU control each project's depth. It fits all types of my teams that use it.

The Reporting feature needs a little more attention.

Tracking time on projects and being able to view those real-time every day and compare it to the projected hours and cost before we go over budget is great. Keeping up with multiple projects at once, but having a view of all areas being affected on a client's projects, across all departments has really improved communication internally.

The simple and intuitive UI means that anyone can pickup how to use it, plus wrike integrates with everything, so there is no duplication of work. Wrike makes it possible to organise complex workloads between a half dozen people spread across multiple countries. Best of all it allow us to provide high level insights to executive management with very little effort.

Not a lot, there are a few refinements that could be made at the enterprise end. It would be nice to have more freedom on things like custom project status.

Wrike saves us an enormous amount of time. But more importantly, it mitgates the risks of tasking falling off track/not getting done.
