Wrike effective in managing all tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the design review aspect. It makes it really easy to communicate content changes and design questions without getting email fatigue. It's also very helpful to use it for website changes and mocking up a website and inserting content. There's no question where we want something to be placed. It cuts down on back and forth and increases productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more control on the moving of subtasks or duplicating reoccurring tasks. Sometimes we have subtasks that get placed in the wrong area, and they have to be deleted and retyped under their appropriate place. It's a little cumbersome and a drag and drop feature would be great. There's the ability to make reoccurring tasks, but then they hold all of the previous task's information on it. It's not exactly how we would prefer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are saving time and the hassle of email fatigue. It also gives us all insight into the other's tasks and all that they are doing on a daily basis. We have no question if something was done, and who was involved because all communication and editing are done right within Wrike.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to consider how you would like to use the tool and go in that direction. Don't set it up a month after 'kind of' using it. Commit early on. Build it out to what you need. Also, make sure you enforce all communication going through Wrike. If some people still send things through other sources this will fail.

Powerful project management — maybe too powerful for some users
What do you like best about the product?
The things I loved most about Wrike were paid features:
• Gantt charts to see your projects in a timeline (I'm a visual person)
• Time tracking
• Subtask management
• Custom workflows

What do you dislike about the product?
To get the most out of Wrike you really need to use the paid versions, and the things I really liked were extremely expensive for a solo operation. I only have people working on my team for about 6 months out of the year, so the other months I'm paying for users I don't have. Also, I'd like to be able to produce detailed reports but that's not available on the tier I'm at.
I also think that the power of Wrike also keeps it from performing very well. I constantly ran into glitches with adding new tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted a project management software that would allow me to be more organized and productive. However, the interface was clunky and I just didn't like using it. There have been days I don't even log in because I avoid using it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you really need complicated, powerful project management and tracking, then go for Wrike. I really do think it is a good option for many businesses. But if you are very small, try using other options instead.
Useful software, UX needs work
What do you like best about the product?
Great features and useful tools, makes it easy to manage multiple complex projects. Has mad a big difference in internal organization and team/project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UX and features are not intuitive and can be improved. Settings are hidden or not easily accessible and certain things could have been done in a more logical way. Would love to be able to onboard people without too much training but so far this has required a lot of hand holding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management and resource allocation. Allows us to map out all of our projects against realistic timeframes and ensure that resources are properly allocated. Has mad a big difference in internal organization and team/project management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good if you are managing a host of simultaneous projects that are complex and multi-step.
I haven't seen anything else that could handle complex processes as well
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a way to implement what could normally only be done in a custom-programmed platform, you should definitely look at Wrike. Be sure to compare Wrike Pro with Wrike Enterprise because one may work better for you than the other. They are substantially different. Four our use, Enterprise works much better.

Great combination of features and simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike does a great job providing enough features that you can use it to manage complex projects, but still remaining simple enough that it is intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would really like their "requests" feature to be available for non-enterprise plans.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can now collaborative much better across multiple teams in our organization, and have good visibility into what is being done, and by whom.
Wrike to organize
What do you like best about the product?
dashboards and task views are easy to visualize
What do you dislike about the product?
complex for average user for daily task management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
program management and taskin
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for larger teams
Awesome tool for team project management
What do you like best about the product?
I just recently started using Wrike and have been very impressed. I was previously using Trello which I always found very clunky and slow. Wrike's UX is excellent and within minutes of logging in for my first time I was able to understand where I needed to go/what to do. I request design and other assets through Wrike and love how easy the updates are. We have also set up a Slack integration which alerts me whenever projects are completed or have a status change I need to know about.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much that I dislike so far. As far as a team project management, I think it does a great job with setting up alerts, statuses and the ability to communicate with others within the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management between different departments. We've been able to speed up design projects and easily manage the workload between the amount of requests our design team gets and when they are completed.
Great Project Management and Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization started using Wrike a couple months ago. It's a great tool for managing projects and keeping teams collaborating and discussing work. We love the @ feature to quickly tag and talk to someone in the system about a project or something that needs to be completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still unfamiliar in setting up all the restraints on projects and deadlines and then replicating it for future years/projects of similar nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A realized benefit is it keeps a project more on task and moving things forward with set deadlines.
Wrike for managing tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike is easy to use and can share tasks lists easily with co-workers.
What do you dislike about the product?
We didn't integrate with our authentication system because didn't want to agree to the privacy terms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud-based, easy, feature-rich project and task management tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find most tools in this space either limited or too hard to use. This one has a lot of features yet is pretty straightforward to use.
So far so good. Some niggles.
What do you like best about the product?
Wrike customer success team has been a real highlight. They've been very accessible with regards to what we want out of the system and any feedback.
Good for task tracking and boards. Managing end to end projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can get very messy without the right Governance structure in place.
Not a lot of automation for some of the things the tool should be able to do.
Some features are not well thought through,by extension user experience is sometimes broken.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help to resolve project management tracking, resource management, visibility and capacity reporting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you practice more traditional waterfall project management practices, Wrike is a great place to start. If you practice Agile, it can be trickier, but not impossible to roll-out Wrike.
