- Time-tracking tools included

- A little pricey

Wrike's best feature is its different views, which are similar to a spreadsheet, the only difference being that it's online. Project management is much easier and tracking progress is even easier. The key element is the ability to assign tasks to assigned users and monitor status through a single software. Wrike simply speeds up the work process and provides accurate, high-quality data in return. Very easy to understand and the online support team is great and always helpful.
Honestly, there's nothing I don't like about Wrike.
Supervisors receive notifications of work that needs to be completed and manage business operations. Other authorised employees often receive notification of work completion when requested by an external client. Ability to mention internal users' names and send updates about real projects instead of sending time-consuming individual emails. Track employee absences and monitor attendance and absent hours. Monitor the progress of performed work.
O wrike é completo naquilo que se trata de organização, criação, visualização e integração de tarefas conseguindo tornar o ambiente de trabalho muito mais produtivo.
Não possúi muitas alternativas de temas e customização e os horários de trabalho não pode ser alterados de forma geral.
O wirke me ajuda a organizar minhas tarefas, participar de outras entre os setores da empresa e visualizar meu progresso através de dashboards
With the project management platform we used previously, it was challenging to gain visibility to projects that other team members didn't share directly. The option to create a departmental space is an absolute gamer changer—now, all our team members can see projects currently in progress without wondering if they have been shared in or not. The option to view projects and tasks in a kanban board or as a Gantt chart has helped us communicate as a team while moving projects forward, especially with the instant notifications that the next step is ready to be made in the process. Plus, having the capability to @-mention team members has eased our use of Slack and reduced our time spent managing Slack messages overall. Not to mention Wrike's excellent online, at-your-own-pace learning tracks—these helped get our team up to speed quickly!
Honestly, there is very little that I have found to dislike about Wrike. Once you've learned how folders, projects, and tasks work with dashboards and kanban views, it makes project establishment easy. We have had some challenges in customizing widgets in dashboards and creating dashboards for visibility outside of our development, but Wrike's onboarding team has been so helpful in answering our many questions. There are so many ways for project managers to establish projects in Wrike. Our team created an onboarding subcommittee to identify how our department will use the team space and our best practices to create, share, and communicate. Our licensure includes collaborators, which make it easy to add external members who do not have a license for visibility. I strongly suggest creating an onboarding committee to set your team up for success during the onboarding process.
We needed one tool for managing our projects—our team had been working partially in Basecamp, partially in Smartsheets, and using Slack and email to fill in space where needed. It didn't prove easy to figure out where projects were in progress, and communication was often not documented or spread widely throughout multiple tools. Wrike answered all of our needs and provided a space to streamline and capture all our communication in one tool.
What I like best about Wrike is how easy it is to manage our internal processes in a simple and effective way. The wide diversity that we have in including our processes in the system helps us a lot on a daily basis.
Not that it's a negative point, but it would be interesting for Wrike to allow us new customizations within the system. Giving this opportunity to further customize our processes, in addition to what already helps us a lot, would help even more
What Wrike helps me the most is creating my tasks. Here we work with another system, so what constantly happens is that I manage to take my process from the other system and create a task inside Wrike, and there I manage it myself.
Dos espaços bem distribuídos. Na automoção com os outros sistemas que utilizamos.
Nao existe um painel explicativo de como utilizar o wrike.
O wrike auxilia no controle das demandas dos clientes, assim nosso relacionamento com o cliente está cada vez melhor.
I like that you can have various dashboards for various project groups. That helps to keep things organized and it's a screenshot of what is out there, what needs to be completed and what has been completed.
I would say that the least helpful thing about wrike is that anyone, even people who have no interest in a certain project can see what is going on. Sometimes this creates confusion where it doesn't need to be created.
It has kept our tasks on track for completion and keeps everything organized with each individual customer. It has made us more productive while at the same time holds every accountable which has help production as well.
It helps us complete our work more efficiently and share information easily.
Some limitations in terms of navigability.
It helps our team share information, complete tasks, and manage projects more efficiently. It also aids us in keeping clients updated.
Wrike makes it so easy to collaborate and get work done. Although we did an accelerated implementation, our team was able to get up-to-speed fairly quickly and work without issues through the busiest time of the year. Our entire marketing organization works in Wrike daily, in sharp contrast to previously working in 4 separate systems. From project requests to scheduling to actual collaborating and accomplishing work, we have really hit our stride and have been able to reduce total cycle time
I haven't seen any downsides to using Wrike. We had some issues during the implementation of Wrike, but we realized that most of the issues were related to processes that had been put in place before we moved to Wrike. Once we made process and policy changes, the problems went away.
Having our entire marketing department in Wrike has greatly increased collaboration and reduced time to market with our campaigns.
Wrike's open platform is a game changer. Their use of Custom Item Types helps us tailor the tool to our needs. Anything that needs tracking on is in here: tasks, milestones, projects, portfolios, vendor bookings/contracts, talent bookings/contracts, filming locations/bookings, account credentials, workstation availability, hardware availability, project roadmaps, strategic roadmaps, proofs/reviews/approvals, tactical workload charts, strategic capacity plans, budgets, estimates, time sheets, job numbers, knowledge bases, vacations, sprints, graphics lists, content plans, shoot schedules and master schedules (to name a few). And all of this at company, department, team/subteam levels!
The ONLY downside I can think of is - viewing all files from across the entire network (right now you can only view files in a dashboard from one location. Albeit, the team at Wrike is already underway on making this happen - so net net - no downsides!
Wrike allows us to *easily* scale as the business grows.
Wrike stood out from the rest by being a robust and flexible project management tool. We were able to customize Wrike to our workflow and to meet our needs rather than change to conform to how it worked. Customer service has been outstanding since day one. The support staff is knowledgable and quick to respond and provide assistance.
There are a few functions that I think could be improved upon, most notable the proofing/approval feature and the timeline view. The proofing/approval feature is a great tool but we have experienced a few glitches and it seems a little clunky at times. The timeline view is a great view to have, but without an undo feature you have to be really careful when looking at rescheduling different tasks.
Project management, task management, collaboration and transparency. With Wrike we are able to keep better track of where we are with our projects and our workload, thus helping us meet deadlines and keep everyone informed.
