Wrike Reviews: 4.2/5 — Solid Choice

We used Wrike to digitize our change management process between Mexico and the US. It has made communication easy using the time-based task lists and ties into the normal MS Office products. Its built-in reporting package brings visibility to all for the items that are open or behind schedule.

At times the rate of frequent software updates may confuse infrequent users. Some of the summary screens are difficult to navigate but given there quick response to customer requests for change this will probably be updated soon.

We use Wrike mainly for change requests and program driving, but many also use it for a personal task list. Many groups also use it for a bulletin board of hot topics for weekly team reviews.

Easy to use and quick to learn, app is great for on-the-go, streamlines work processes and great for project management

Interface could be updated to make it more pleasing on the eye

Project management and employee accountability

How intuitive and simple the program is to use and deploy. The Project Manager does not have to provide endless user support because the program makes seeing tasks and filing them correctly exteremly simple. Automatic notifications to users with open tasks saves time on follow-ups as well as lets the users finish when the timing suits them.

Honestly, there isn't much to dislike. The interface is simple and not cluttered. That is a plus, user/tester/contributors interfaces are extremly simple so there is minimal huffing and puffing about "learning a new system to complete one task". That's simply not the case.

By far, it makes our projects more nimble. The Project Manager has visibility and notification to everything they want. Rarely are there "didn't see that coming" moments, because the reporting and dashboarding is there for the management to pull and review. Especially with the work from home climate, being able to see 30 different people's task status' and not having to email/chat/call (becuase the notifications can do that for you). It just makes something that could be very complicated and involved, run so much more smoothly.

I like the organization of the site's layout.

I dislike the subfolders within other folders.

I'm more likely to get my work done sooner if a Wrike ticket has been made.

The ability to track and manage said projects and assets being submitted within a Wrike task. This is an amazing way to submit images and ideas to a specific project.

The easiness of understanding how to use wrike. Would be easier to have a GANT chart and assign projects on specific dates and implement micro tasks to show why it takes so long for certain projects, Alos could use a feature where end clients check off on taskings.

The problems that I solve with Wrike are mostly for design-related content and submitting for internal clients, and giving them particular assets to use for their needs. The benefits that come with doing this are that clients need to be able to sign off on certain assets instead of giving them the assets.

I like how we can manage projects and tasks all within the clean user interface. It allows our team members to collaborate across teams, and we can handle projects effectively and smoothly.

There isn't much I dislike; I have only used Wrike for project management. So I don't have much to compare it with. However, Wrike helps me solve any project that comes my way. It's effortless.

I solve basic problems like figuring out who communicated what within a project and if there was a handoff issue we can look back at previous conversations and see where the hold up is.

The system is very easy to understand once you have everything set up!

It is hard to get the filters to work properly

I am able to keep all my open projects in order by category and know where I am at all times!

Wrike is great for delegating tasks throughout our sales division and keeping track of the status of projects. It is easy to navigate and integrates well with the other systems we use.

Slow to communicate between Wrike and Salesforce.

Wrike has been incredibly beneficial for project management, project collaboration, task management, time management, and workflow management.

We use Wrike for end to end proposal support workflow management. It allows us to create customized request forms, streamlining the intake process, and workflows so we can track tasks based on our proposal process. The reporting and dashboard features allow me to easily see workload at a high level and deliver targeted insights to leadership. We process hundreds of proposals annually and wouldn't be able to effectively manage such a volume without Wrike.

Some reporting features can't be shared with Contributors, like Dashboards.

Creating a seamless process for taking in new work requests, tracking work through stages aligned with our proposal process, and providing clear and easy to pull reporting for leadership. Collaborating with my team and delegating work easily.

How easy it is to move the cards to have my work reviewed by someone else to ensure we have 2 eyes on each project.

Nothing! It has been so influential in my everyday work life.

It is solving the issues of things falling through the cracks. It has the benefit of making sure everything is getting looked at.

I like the calendar feature of Wrike to show which items need to be addressed on which days. It makes it very easy to keep track of tasks.

The only thing I dislike about Wrike is sometimes the notification system is too much. It would be good to only get notifications for high priority items.

I have solved the problem of workflow assignments and making sure my coworkers and I are equally distributing the work.

Our agency has used Wrike for the past 4 years. When first choosing Wrike I put a lot of time into research, and they seemed like the best fit. We have been using it ever since and it has been a good choice. Features are great; support is awesome.

I have nothing bad to say, other than there is a lot of capabilities with the system, so it can take a bit of time and working with it to use it within your processes and figure out the best utalization.

We use Wrike for project management and client information. The tool is great for us; we put all our clients into the system and add the projects to each client. These projects or tasks are then shared with our employees who are assigned to the task.

I like the easy edit of tasks and drag and drop fields. The dashboard keeps everything top of mind and focused.

It has that Google Sheet look and feel that I do not like.

The tasks assigned previously were sent in emails that no one could keep track of.

The flexibility of services, ease of use, and increased communication for our organization.

I would like a built-in CRM option and would also like the ability for notes to show up in other views rather than just in the list view.

We have been able to better organize and communicate with our new client onboarding. We have also increased communication and productivity.

I love how Wrike keeps a team on track and helps coordinate tasks so that we can meet our deadlines.

Wrike overall is a great tool, but it would be nice to have some templates available for common usage, such as agendas.

Our team was able to achieve tasks on time without having to send out too many individual emails.

I love the ability to connect easily with other members of our group. We can easily take meeting minutes and update each other on the status of our projects.

I think that for a larger organization, Wrike needs another level of organization. Sometimes when you have multiple pages and layers in a project, things can get lost easily.

Currently, we're organizing our lab space and proejcts on Wrike. It has been a key to stay up to date with the progress of our multiple trainees.

I really like the way it looks. You can choose how you view your info i.e. list, table, board, chart. Asset management is great. It's a one-stop-shop for my team.

It would be really nice if you could automatically send an email after a task or project is completed to external people.

Project management. Task Requests. Team communication. Asset storage. I didn't realize it would be such a good communication tool.

The organization of the platform is great and the reporting and blueprint functions are very helpful and easy to navigate.

There are a few glitches I run into frequently, and some tricks that are not as intuitive as I'd like

Project Management and Routing for compliance

Game changer for project management. My team originally worked from a Google Sheet for managing projects, then switched to Monday for a few months, and eventually landed on Wrike. Fantastic project management platform.

Not the best iOs apps. Specifically, the iPhone app is lacking.

Project management, prioritization, task management, etc.

I like how customizable Wrike is. We can be very specific about deadlines, workflows, etc. On top of that, it is extremely easy to duplicate that customization!

I dislike that it takes a while to get used to the platform. You definitely need one of your team members to become a "Wrike" expert, which is fine in the long run but makes deployment take quite a while.

We are solving deadline management and project assignment within our department. We are are using the proofing tools to streamline our cross departmental proofing.

The ability to time track per project & task. The ability to assign tasks. The ability to have dependencies and Gant charts!

It could use a bit more organizational guard rails or prompts.

The benefits of team organization and ease of collaboration across onsite and offsite staff are huge! Very robust.

There are so many options to customize the tools to suit your needs. The system is very flexible.

The sheer amount of options can be a bit overwhelming at first.

This software has made it easier to keep track of projects and coordinate the work amongst many people.

How accessible it is and easy to use. Helps to stay organized

It's a bit complicated at first but once you use it enough you get used to it

Stay organized with projects and getting a large scope of status on tasks

Easy to collaborate with a large organization.

Navigation can be cumbersome at times and locating a specific task within a project can be time-consuming.

Project management and ticketing queues for support and engineering.

The ability to customize the tool to fit our needs utilizing project templates, custom fields, and workflows to fit the business objectives is a great aspect. For example, our packaging workflow has multiple approval steps depending on what stage of development we are in. Our tooling stage workflow has automatic reminders to help team members keep up with the status of new products at our factories.

This is minor, but our greatest dislike is that there are some automation rules I would like to create that cannot be achieved yet. But they are not show-stoppers in any way.

Our team was using spreadsheets upon versions of the same spreadsheet to track work progress in outstanding tasks. When old updates were overwritten, we lost our ability to track decision reasoning in our post-mortem meetings. With Wrike, information was no longer lost in a previous version, decisions were easier to track, and workload is easier to visualize. Wrike has been a huge leap forward for our team with respect to process, workflow, project management, communication, and documentation. The ability to customize workflows specific to the task function, apply multiple approvals within a given workflow, automate notifications and reminders and utilize logic based request forms among other features has been a game changer for how work is logged and tracked across our user base. Additionally, the comments log and custom fields have allowed us to better audit our process and build out data repositories for quick access to necessary information.

I love that Wrike is so user friendly and easy to use. There is no way that my team could get the amount of work done that we need to without this service.

There is really no huge negatives. I have used several platforms, and by far Wrike is the best that I have used.

Collaboartion. Speed. Approvals. Projects. It really does allow us to speed up the work flow of everything and get feedback directly on projects that are in the works.

I love how easy it is to manage our projects and also be able to track projects easily.

I honestly don't think there is a downside on our end.

Wrike has allowed our company to flow all of our projects through this system instead of our emails. It's also allowed us to set up a review process for projects that need reviewing.

ability to easily schedule and assign tasks, with instant updates to the people they are assigned to. Also great to view workloads to see how many hours are assigned.

I'm not crazy about the new layout- preferred the old. The Mobile app is too different from the web version (easy enough, but would prefer a mirror for consistency). Need permissions enabled in versions beyond the most expensive suite- maybe offer an option.

Notification of schedules to field employees, preventing double booking by visible assignments. Techs are happier and we are more productive.

Workload planning, Gantt chart view, Custom Dashboards, reports, centralized communication, possibility to include collaborators. There is too much in there to write them all down

Nothing really. It does exactly what I need. Some would say that it is expensive, but when you look at it and consider the time it makes you save, it is like if they were giving it to you. You save money using Wrike...

I save a lot of time. Looking at dashboards and worloads gives me the insight I need to take my decisions. Centralizing all the communication under a common project or task prevents us to find important documentation that would be scattered across other softwares if we were not using Wrike.

Easy to get started, and very intuitive. It is flexible and we were able to integrate our work and adapt it to our necessities. We can share files, track time, generate reports, and create specific solutions for different parts of the project. The whole team and tasks are connected through Wrike, which makes it easy to track all the work happening.

We do not have any inconvenience with this product, the price is good for functionality and capability. Is a 10/10 for our experience. I just can't imagine our team without this tool.

Sharing files, tracking time, communications, assigning tasks, tracking tasks, reports, automated workflow, sharing information, processing, and organizing documents.
