Wrike Reviews: 4.2/5 — Solid Choice

I believe the training is well thought out and repeatable until you get it right. If you forget no problem just go back. Loving it. :)

For me being able to do something several different ways can be confusing but I bet others like that flexibility.

Keeping everyone on the same page and being able to delegate and easily follow the progress of a task, project, or item.

The reminder for tasks that have not been touch in a while is very useful.

Sometimes the site does not work well when you have a smaller window if you use multiple windows at once

Other sites would lose tasks and leave us wondering why; they could not tell why it was happening. Wrike works well at keep us informed about any issues.

It's very easy to use and intuitive. I was able to navigate my way around on the first day.

I wish there was more customization of screens available. There might be and I just don't know how to do it.

Everyone knows the status of every project and nothing falls between the cracks.

My all-time favorite feature of Wrike is the approval/comment/editing feature. It makes approvals and feedback sooo easy, especially on PDFs and videos. I also love the ability to add projects to multiple folders/projects because sometimes there's going to be overlap in projects and it's very helpful to see it in all the places it impacts.

Wrike is super powerful which is awesome, but not always the easiest to get up and running on. It's not plug and play when it comes to how your team wants to use it. (But working through that is super worth it.)

As our team has grown, staying all on the same page has gotten harder and harder. It's a lot easier to know what's going on across the marketing organization when there's 8 people vs 18. Wrike has helped us stay on track on projects and know how projects are progressing without adding more meetings.

Here at FAR we love the in-task Mark-up tool so copy & design tasks can be stakeholder reviewed & marked up in the task simplifying how projects are managed across multiple teams. I also love the blueprints, custom request forms, and custom workflows.

The notification management & that you can't navigate directly to a projects' tasks from a project notification in inbox.

It's made it much easier to track, manage & report on our creative projects.

I really like the timeline option in Wrike for project managers. I have used several tools such as Smartsheet, Excel, Teams, etc. to keep up with dates and timelines. Again, I say that Wrike is user-friendly.

That you cannot duplicate folders, while you are in a folder. You have to duplicate only from side bars. I don't quite like that.

Wrike makes our jobs as project managers easier. The tool is a great information storaging tool.

I like the note section to keep track of what has happened and what action was taken.

I wish it alerted me to the more important items I need to keep track of.

None that I know of. The program itself benefits me.

ease to use, very effective to keep track of projects and assignments, and help to keep work organized.

At this point, I don't have anything negative to say about Wrike.

Keep my team informed with updates and new procedures. My sups have learned to use it easily and have helped them to keep their work organized.

the mobile platform is amazing, the alerts are nice as reminder.

just like any platform, its tough to use in the beginning. my suggestion would be to do some video training for it:)

keeping all the projects that I collaborate with people on, straight.

Wrike is a great tool to help streamline communication and updates on projects across multiple teams.

N/A - Wrike is a great tool and I've enjoyed using it and learning more about it to help streamline any projects with internal team members in our company.

Wrike is being used by our team for any design or digital projects. It helps the team keep projects all in one place and allows for edits and communication across different teams so everyone is on the same page.

Tagging, organization, timeline management and video review are the main items we use. I also love it as an asset collection service.

Gannet chart is hard to use. Users find it hard to find things if they are not the main organizer

Wrike helps our team align and organize projects very well. It helps our video team review and collect notes. Also provides assets and archival search.

You can do almost everything in Wrike! Total package for marketing teams

When the latency or its downtime. Since i use Wrike heavily on my tasks.

Its a platform where requestors and services meet.

I love the dashboard option. All of my teammates can see each other assignments, we have weekly meetings to discuss each other's workflow.

I dislike that you can not customize your "Folder" with colors of your choice, or designs. If you can I am sorry, I would love to learn.

Work organization is hard to keep up with but I feel like Wrike helps us all benefit from it.

Auto-reminders and the ability to plan ahead, while keeping on top of current projects too. High-level and intricate views of projects.

Sometimes there are tiny abilities missing, like changing the status of a task from a high level view. But it's inconsequential!

Keeps the whole team aligned on task and project progress. Ability to quickly see where you're at, which helps us define who and what we need to chase, and when. Solving the issue of following up in a timely way (difficult to remember with 400+ clients to manage for one person)

Knowing the status of tasks and projects across the entire team. Being able to cut down on emails and use it as a communication tool. Features like adding documents to tasks/projects is great for collaboration outside of email.

The tool depends on how much certain team members update their Wrike tasks/projects. It can be hard to get entire teams on board with inputting all their work into it. Sometimes work isn't reflected as it has not been added to Wrike.

Keeping track of work and being able to collaborate on large projects with the tool. This allows for teams to be more collaborative and can cut down on unnecessary emails asking if a certain task has been completed because you can just check Wrike.

I can find my assignments for my job easily

I forget to always check it to see if I have assignments I need to work on

It helps me with assignments assigned to me for my job and keeps me on track in doing them

easy to use, i use it for work because we have to manually fill out if there is anything wrong on our ecommerce site so we connect with IT.

no downsides, it is very easy and simple to use.

We file any tickets or reports on Wrike to connect with IT

The daily remainders, To-Do list, Scheduling

Nothing as such. I am using it less than an year, still exploring more on this.

To keep track of things without missing deadlines.

The UI is friendly and there are a lot of customizable features.

Sometimes the Gantt chart won't refresh on it's own and I need to click the reload button.

We have a lot of projects on the go at once and the custom dashboards help to organize priorities.

Wrike allows me to work seamlessly with my team to ensure every detail of every project is covered. I can see all my tasks in one place, create tasks from my inbox with the plugin for Outlook, and more. I cannot go back to work without Wrike. It has made life so much easier for our very busy and highly collaborative team!

It's difficult for me to find anything. If I had to say, it would be that the Outlook plugin is sometimes slow and finicky. Otherwise, it is great!

Our team's project management was with Excel sheets and Word documents before. Now, we can quickly build out projects and assign tasks in one place so we are not looking through multiple documents to manage our workflow. I can also keep my inbox cleaner by creating tasks quickly with the plugin so I don't have an abundance of unread emails to remind me of a task.

I am an Admin on the account so I have access to everything. Even with all the information I have access to it's always easy to find what I need with minimal clicks. The UX is set up in a very intuitive way which is great for onboarding new users. They get in easily and figure out how to use Wrike with little if any assistance.

I wish more storage was included. When you are in marketing you work with some very large files...having to store files in Google Drive or Creative Cloud adds an extra step when you need to retrieve final files. Storage is cheap these days and Wrike is already at a high price point compared to other PM systems.

Wrike solves the problem of keeping your creative team connected. This "connectivity" became very important once our team became fully remote. We all have visibility to what we need and can pull information that we need without having to ask a team member for it.

I used to be an Asana power-user, but Wrike is so much better these days. It helps our team stay aligned and moving forward as we use Agile and work in sprints, and Wrike allows us to tally up our effort points, set due dates, and visualize our projects on calendars. I love that it's so customizable, and our scrum lead has been able to truly tailor Wrike for us and our needs. Highly recommend!

The only feature I wish Wrike had was a way to bulk select/de-select checkboxes for custom fields. Otherwise, it's perfect for our needs! It keeps us aligned and moving in the same direction as a team.

Wrike is definitely helping our team in terms of visibility into projects. Our team is growing larger, and being able to depend on Wrike to show us who's working on what has been a true godsend for our team's productivity.

The ability to @ different users, including ones not currently "active" on a task.

The search function can be a bit finnicky

My company uses Wrike for IT. I use it to submit requests and bug reports to the IT department. I like the ticket system and the interface. It took me about fifteen minutes to figure it out on my own.

Wrike allows me to pinpoint what I need to work on right now and helps me stay organized for work ahead.

Learning how to use it took quite a bit of time. With the help of Wrike's how-to videos as well as my team/department's help along the way.

We are creating forms to help narrow focus on what our team needs to produce for an online course. Wrike helps by having an in-take form and then creates a project based on that information. From there, its status changes until the final status of completion- going through various reviews across the department.

I have to maintain and create multiple video and online training projects. It was always a project management nightmare - including scheduling the various content pieces and their various editors and talent coordination. I have set up Wrike Dashboards for all my work partners, I can at-a-glance follow their progress, modify and/or add new tasks in a snap! The MUST HAVE piece for us was non-internal user file approvals via Wrike. I can send an unlimited amount of 'file for your approval' notices to our outside clients, and none of them need a Wrike license! This is a hard-to-find feature from other PM vendors. When we were shopping for a PM solution, when I asked other vendors about this feature, they'd say things like, "We don't have that, but you can make a PDF and email them that for approval, etc." NO THANK YOU... I love having the approval of the file built right into my workflow, and I get email alerts when my clients respond with approvals or feedback. This also works smartly with our internal team approvals as well. Another KEY FEATURE is the ability to make forms... I have replaced my old HELP TICKET software with a new Wrike form that I can publish on the internet. Now my Help Tickets auto-trigger a task for me to investigate and solve. They get email alerts and so do I when the forms are triggered. I've also created work intake forms for my internal team too! No more emails with fuzzy goals like, "Would you make this?" Now I get alerted when work requests come in and the customizable forms let me tailor exactly what I need. Wrikes update reminder emails also helps me make sure tasks get done as specified and on time!

This is one of the most powerful and integrated software packages I've used in over 30 years of IT management... changes are saved on the fly - there is nothing I don't like about this product!

I have to build custom online courses with dozens of varying and complex components and sub-steps. Wrike lets me lay out all the steps once, turn it into a blueprint for future projects, and saves huge amount of time tracking where I'm at in the design - production - assembly - approval phases. I have one process that takes bout three hours on the clock to complete. Dozens of steps, some very complicated and often done by new hires. I can add screen shots and links to all the components I need for myself, or someone else to complete the steps. I then duplicate these steps out for each new series which ensures me that nothing gets missed in the long chain of events.

it simplifies my workflow and speeds response time

There are times it get cumbersome, but I believe that is more to do with how we use it and not the platform itself

It gets rid of a lot of emails on a regular basis

Members are able to accomplish project located far from each other having communication and discussion as it progress editing and modifying without any delay.

With Wrike everything is easy and effective manageable,nothing wrong with it.

Forwarding assignments to top management as well as consulting professionals in between. Making quick requests and receiving responses.

The ability to work on projects digital amongst both team members and yourself is invaluable today. As someone who values communication and collaboration, this is a fantastic platform that allows me to get things done how I like it.

How Wrike's platform organizes certain tasks based on title, completion date, creation date, etc., sometimes conflicts with how I'd like tasks to be organized.

Wrike is letting my team - who contains certain members who work with other teams a lot, and others none at all, work on their respective projects with the same efficacy as any other project, regardless of collaboration level.

The Wrike Approvals Process is the best in the industry. We were able to review and approve files seamlessly throughout the Work-From-Home years. We looked at several other project management systems and nothing compared.

There is a real danger of overdesigning in Wrike because it is so robust. Keep it simple to start and build as you learn.

Wrike continually improves and bases development on user input. They post surveys and schedule phone conversations at the beginning of new feature development. Beta testers are welcome. All users can participate in the growth of the platform.

Wrike is highly customizable so you get what you need out of it. For example, we can create custom workflows so that a task or project can have custom-made statuses beyond the standard new, in progress, review, approved and complete. It's intuitive and therefore easy to onboard new users. It has training videos that help too. It's reporting features are robust and helpful. But beyond Wrike's features, if I had to tell you what I like best about Wrike has been my experience with our account's customer success manager, Alexander. The quarterly check-ins with him have been vital to our success and further integration of Wrike into our processes. He is like the sidekick you never knew you needed but legit makes my world easier after every meeting with him. He shows me how we could possibly set things up in Wrike or how to do things better. This feature of having someone like Alexander be paired with us has been phenomenal and crucial to our success.

With a focus on being a project management system for marketers, I wish it was more accommodating to written content creation and content planning (i.e., a social media content calendar). We currently have to use another app for our social media calendar and have workaround to be able to include related tasks in Wrike. It could be much more seamless process if Wrike had this capability. Secondly, the collaborator role for clients and colleagues (not team members you need in Wrike, those are users) cannot type/update a task description. This limits our ability to collaborate with collaborators with text and copy. We have to put in a link to another app (in this case Microsoft Sharepoint) to be able to draft, edit and review content. Wrike for Marketers is perfect for graphic design and video creation. I wish this extended to native in-the-app features for content creation.

Wrike provides our marketing team with clarity on priorities, what needs to be done and who's being counted upon to do it. Prior to Wrike, we were getting information in numerous ways with no way to manage it. We had to have long meetings to verbally go through projects that are now Blueprints in Wrike that we generate and run like clockwork. We had multiple missed requests because things came in emails that would get buried in your inbox. Now they come in through Wrike forms. Wrike solves multiple problems for us because it is so customizable. You get what time you put into Wrike by exponential time savings in the future.
