    Considered Both Products
    Asana
    Chose Asana
    I used Wrike a few years ago. It was just okey, less configurable, harder to navigate than Asana. Maybe they improved their user experience over the years. I have also used Jira Software (not being on a development team) to structure projects and work sprints. This tool was …

    Chose Asana
    Wrike is similar but JUST a bit more cumbersome in every way. So if something takes 1-2 clicks in Asana it will take 3-4 in Wrike. Just enough of a lift that it makes it hard for people to just get started working. Instead, you must change your employees to think the way …

    Chose Asana
    We use Wrike more because the UI is easier and their account management has been stronger.

    Asana is simpler and easier to manage than Teamwork Projects and Wrike for smaller teams, but still offers more features than Basecamp and requires a lot less customization than monday.com.

    1. JIRA is more focused on technical developers. Hard for those non-technical users.

    Asana is so much better than Wrike. Wrike has a lot more customizability, but it's too much. Asana keeps things very simple and can include a litany of integrations to help me get the most out of my needs. Wrike, from what I remember, also uses more resources from my computer. …

    Chose Asana
    Asana is extremely easy to use and gives us all the functionality we need in order to stay on task and meet deadlines. Trello seemed a little elementary compared to Asana, and Wrike seemed a little more complicated than our team needed. Asana is a good balance and has been …

    Chose Asana
    Asana is a great balance of simplicity and robustness. JIRA is simply too robust for my team's needs - it is more appropriate for a software team. We did not need the capabilities to customize automated workflows. Our development process is waterfall, so a PM software centered …

    We “beta” tested several softwares across our company. Asana was a great fit for our small corporate team. But when we rolled it out company wide, it didn’t stick. We eventually ended up using Airtable - which has worked out well for us.

    Wrike is great for large corporate teams, on par with Asana. I did not have the choice in Wrike, and was initially skeptical after coming from an Asana company but I have been pleasantly surprised in my year+ of using the platform. Wrike is better for cross team projects where …

    I like Wrike best. I liked Asana, but I think it got too pricey for the features that we wanted out of it. Notion was fine, but I think its ability to integrate with the rest of our tech stack proved difficult. Trello was fine, it was early in my career and I remember its ease …

    I think Wrike is comparable against these competitors - it reminds me of Trello the most in terms of interface. I did not personally select Wrike, I am a user, not the purchase decision maker.

    Wrike provides multiple use cases on managing workflow through the various range of functionalities provided. Trello more so provides a straight forward way to obtain a full scope view of projects, but Wrike is more comprehensive in managing all stages.

    Great for large project and/or complex projects. However there can be a learning curve. I would possibly choose a different platform if I am working with non-techy team members.

    Very similar. Our global team used Wrike when we merged so we all moved to the same platform

    Wrike always works - it's always up-to-date, never down, and our one source of truth.
    I wish the mobile version of Wrike was more usable, but that's the only thing where Wrike may not be the front runner.

    The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too.

    Wrike helped us stitch PMO-related activities under one umbrella. The easy collaboration with multiple access types, combined with security access definitions, helped users across the organization contribute according to their roles. This helped provide the organization with multiple items to be reviewed in a single tool. This saved time in weekly review meetings by avoiding switching between multiple tools & files.

    I wish that Wrike had more drag and drop functionality that would be connected to assignee and also I wish that the finish date of a task would update to the date where you checked completed. It does not do that. Also finishing a task doesn't move the start date of the next task it "protects your time in that way", but our management team wants us to quickly see what we have down the pipeline rather than having to scroll down the list of upcoming tasks.

    Usability
    Asana
    It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

    We have project templates set up based on what job type is selected in our work request form. This helps save time by having specific tasks already on each job as it is opened. Then it's just a matter of scheduling the tasks based on the job request and current workload. As long as a due date is flexible, it's easy to shift specific due dates as needed.

    Over two years of (almost) daily usage without outages. Don't remember any errors. I give it 9 only because some Wrike plugins (for online document edit) are based on NPAPI architecture. These types of plugins are being phased out in new browsers, and NPAPI plugins are disabled by default in recent versions of Chrome so you have to do some browser adjustments when you switch browsers or move to another computer.

    During my learning phase with Wrike, I initially struggled with setting up automation rules and request forms. However, Wrike support was always my go-to, resolving issues within seconds or minutes. Their assistance made the learning process much easier. My best experience was receiving step-by-step screenshots to follow, with the support team on standby until I was completely satisfied.
