Jira [Sofware] being the market leader, it is a lot easier to sell internally when it comes to the core product (backlog management). The additional scenarios that are supported, such as service ticketing and knowledge base management, can also be added whenever you feel ready …
I like that you can visually monitor many projects simultaneously. I like that you can add tickets and issues to the system relatively quickly and easily. The tool is pretty intuitive and it only takes a few attempts before you understand how the system works.
Jira is really geared towards IT organizations. It is far more complex to use so it has a steeper learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it does have more customization capabilities and it offers more functionalities, such as extra fields, types of graphs, etc.... …
We chose Wrike after careful software selection with three other products. The goal is to identify and define a working standard for greater efficiency during the definition, planning, execution, monitoring, and finalization of products. Wrike proved to be the best and easiest …
Wrike is better than both as it allows for greater visibility and is more similar to an excel based system, which i think has a much better initial understanding of all users.
Wrike is more robust and stacks well due to the amount of features and customization for project tracking. I would have Monday as the next contender for visualizing project management and Jira would be more for managing dev. tasks but full campaign management would be more in …
In my opinion, Wrike is very similar to Asana (Asana has Wrike beat when it comes to completing tasks. Who doesn't enjoy seeing a rainbow unicorn fly across the screen when marking a task complete). Jira is also very similar but a bit more robust as it integrates with Aha for …
Wrike is a unique and wholesome tool that would provide you with all the views like Smartsheet and also all the required features for agile work management like JIRA. However these are tools probably are great at what they do in specific areas and Wrike has not yet just …
For its ease of use, Better project management, Project/task view, Ease of coordination with colleagues, its vertical layout for project updates and comments, and Logical layout.
I have a soft spot for Jira since I used it for 5 years (compared to Wrike that I've been using for over a year now). The automation is a lot more intuitive and complex on Jira and allows for more potential compared to Wrike. I was given a good comparison of the two: Wrike is …
Neither Jira nor Asana are user-friendly. There are too many layers without visualizing the broader relationship among tasks. I did not actively want to engage with either of these tools. However, I don't view project management as a burden with Wrike. It makes my job more …
Wrike sales team was down to earth, and very facilitative with our disparate set of requirements. They had additional security features as well as solid user stories. In the end all of our PMO offices voted and Wrike came out on top. With a large company any switch of project …

Chose Wrike
What Wrike does better than all of the above is to provide a tool that can handle both Waterfall and Kanban. Usually tools lean one way or the other, or they do one well and the other is terrible. Wrike seems a bit more agnostic and allows you to design how you want to manage …

Chose Wrike
I find Jira very square and hard to customize. Wrike is totally the opposite, you can personalize almost everything and the support team is always very responsive in case of doubts. Also, as far as, I know you can't invite collaborator easily in Jira.
I've used Microsoft Project to manage waterfall projects and Jira to manage agile projects. Compared to Wrike, Project has more features for waterfall management, but can be complicated to use. Wrike seems to have all the functionality of Jira with all the added features needed …
Wrike is a great tool across all stages of work. What sets it apart from other platforms is how well it caters to the needs of all types of teams and departments. Being a broader system, it doesn't specialize in any specific area (e.g., finance or design), making it a universal …
We are combining them. Jira primarily targeted at software development teams and IT projects. Also for more advanced issue tracking and customization capabilities. Jira offers more customization options, including custom workflows and issue types, but we don't need that for …
Jira facilitates software development, bug tracking, and sprints. It's ideal for structured workflows, issue management, and customer communication. However, more straightforward tools might be more efficient for highly creative, unstructured tasks or tiny, agile teams with quick visual overviews. Jira's complexity can be overkill for basic task lists.
Any company that has a lot of moving pieces could benefit from using Wrike or a project management tool. I find it even more necessary if a company is having trouble staying organized and finds tasks falling through the cracks. I would say that Wrike or another project management tool is unnecessary if you aren't constantly creating new tasks. If you are a company that might have only a handful of tasks, a project management tool like Wrike may not be necessary. If this company has plans to grow and finds that its task list is growing, a tool like Wrike would be beneficial.
Integration of tools like Bitbucket, Github, etc., has made it easier to track the code changes, pull requests, and branches linked to the respective ticket.
The detailed tracking system in JIRA has helped the teams prioritize and understand the project tasks and issues.
JIRA's project tracking board helps you keep track of the project, its flow, and expectations in a structured format.
It's user-friendly for anyone familiar with project management and scrum methodologies, making it easy to navigate and understand Wrike at a high level.
Wrike offers features tailored to various business use cases, including project management, agile, scrum, workflows, visualizations, folder structures, blueprints, customization, and integrations.
Tasks provide a comprehensive history in one place.
There are multiple visualization options to view the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) hierarchy, such as Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and table views.
I would like to see the ability to “upgrade” or “downgrade” projects to tasks or tasks to projects.
A more thorough training upon contract activation. Showing me what (based on my organization’s workflow and needs) suggestions Wrike would have for me and how to implement them.
The cost for Wrike is high compared to competitors. Either a lower price point or more seats/functionalities for the price I’m paying.
This is because Jira Software generates a huge profit for an affordable price. Having a tool that makes team management transparent and effective is very valuable.
In addition, the renewal of Jira Software and all Atlassian tools is predictable and clear, as the prices are published on the Atlassian website and there is no pyramid of intermediaries.
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.
The interface is simple and easy to use if you have some experience with it. Configuration is also logical most of the time. However, less experienced users tend to find themselves lost in some tasks - usually complex project configuration- but sometimes simple things, such as seeing why a user can't move issues in a workflow. Jira configuration requires a good amount of experience - and even experienced users often resort to documentation. It's a tool that's easy to use if you know what you're doing and where to find the proper documentation, but novice users tend to find it challenging.
As mentioned earlier, I have used other platforms like Workfront, Jira, and Slack for project and task management. However, I would definitely go for Wrike because it makes things easier for marketers, stakeholders, and users. I love it. You are doing amazing work. Continue building on that, and I am sure you will be one of the best project management tools on the market.
Did not face any issues and whenever they plan maintanance they update all of us very well in advance also so in that view we are good with the product stability.
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.
Performance is really good though it holds lot of data it loads quickly especially search operation also get the results very quickly as needed hence its good
Wrike tasks loads fine, but I hate clicking files and wait for a bit of time since it is powerpoint or word, Wrike assumes I want to open those on Wrike. My suggestion is to link it to office 365 so we do not need Wrike based decoder for PPTX and DOCX
I have not had a chance to contact JIRA's customer support. It does offer extensive documentation, although it often feels too technical for me. There is also a JIRA training app that lets you take little lessons and quizzes on different areas (e.g., JIRA basics, agile). I did find it a helpful way to teach myself.
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.
Had received training from our own internal user so it was good and also very easy to understand topics and many tasks in the UI are self explanatory and we can do by our own
One of their strong points i stheir documentation. Almost all of the basic set up needed within JIRA is available online through atlassian and its easy to find and very precise. The more critical issues need to be addressed as well and hence the rating of 8 instead of a 9.
I love the Wrike training options. Wrike Discover has tons of courses, learning plans, certifications, etc. This is an area where Wrike definitely shines! I wish these resources were more in your face for new people, because it seems like a lot of coworkers didn't know all of this training was available to them.
Take your time implementing Jira. Make sure you understand how you want to handle your projects and workflows. Investing more time in the implementation can pay off in a long run. It basically took us 5 days to define and implement correctly, but that meant smooth sailing later on.
There are a lot of bells and whistles in Wrike, and not all of it is easy or intuitive to understand once it's plopped in your lap. It's easier when there are a few choice people who understand Wrike as a platform and articulate it in such a way where it makes it easy to pass it along to others in the group
monday.com cannot be integrated with CI/CD tools, whereas Atlassian Jira integrates with CI/CD tools seamlessly. Atlassian Jira has strong Agile and Scrum support. Coming to monday.com, it has basic agile functionality. But Atlassian Jira has a complex UI, and monday.com has an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. Overall, Atlassian Jira provides features like Agile project management, DevOps integration, and customizable workflows.
Neither Jira nor Asana are user-friendly. There are too many layers without visualizing the broader relationship among tasks. I did not actively want to engage with either of these tools. However, I don't view project management as a burden with Wrike. It makes my job more manageable instead of further complicating it.
The sky is the limit for what can be done in Wrike. We started with 1 use case and within 5 months we migrated several key business practices over to Wrike because they were easier to manage. Use cases so far: process improvement, management review, corrective actions, maintenance requests, month-end financial closing, and document management. As we grow, it's easy to imagine putting even more into Wrike where it becomes a cornerstone for how we do business
Atlassian Jira's robust workflow automation has boosted team efficiency, shortening delivery cycles and driving a positive ROI through improved project management.
Its advanced reporting and integration capabilities have enabled data-driven decisions, aligning operations with key business objectives.
However, the steep learning curve can delay adoption, potentially hindering short-term ROI.
We have been able to use Wrike to prioritize tasks for departments. Some departments are overwhelmed with other tasks and being able to save the staff some time by prioritizing their tasks has been helpful.
Collaboration and communication have improved between the project teams.
Wrike made it easier to access past information to reference for future preparation or to help clarify.
