Creately vs Wrike

• Creately provides the same experience that other similar tools (i.e. Visio) provides, but presents it in a much more colorful, unique manner. The colors are vibrant, and my clients have always been impressed with the quality and feel.
• Creately provides a lot of creative control over how your images look. I can play with the opacity and color scheme, or use what they already provide.
• Creately also allows me to create wireframes for clients to review, whether desktop or mobile. I can create simple, easy to understand frames and concepts in minutes - they're super professional looking and ready to share.
• I like the pricing model. Right now I can pay month-to-month, or pay a one-time fee for a year. It's also less expensive than Visio, which is very nice.

• Wrike is very flexible and versatile. I have used many project management systems, and some have rigid requirements - such as needing a completion date. Wrike is customizable, so you can create the setup that works best for you. You can create custom workflows, request forms, folders, etc. - and the changes could be for your whole account, or just for a specific team/folder.
• Wrike allows for many ways to view projects. It has kanban boards, gantt charts, calendars, lists, tables, reports, analytics, time logs, activity streams, etc. Most other tools I have used have some of these. But, everyone has their own view that they prefer to work from. In Wrike, all the projects and tasks can be managed from almost any view. In my experience, this increased adoption and efficiency as team members were comfortable using the view.
• In Wrike, you can save filters, which makes managing projects much faster and easier.

• The transition Creately made this year to their new non-Flash platform seems to almost function like a beta release in some instances.
• Customer support sometimes takes a while to return and the responses are not always the best or most helpful. Follow up isn't great, either.

• You have to be assigned to a project to see it - so it can be hard to find something you are not working on (but that you potentially requested) if you are not assigned to it
• Mobile time tracking could be easier, but it is still accessible
• Time based tracking takes a bit of playing around to get

• Creately is less expensive and dare I say more professional looking than Visio. It looks great at a fraction of the price.
• Creately allows me to share ideas and processes with my clients. It shows that I understand their business processes, and increases their trust in my abilities to work with them.

• Wrike has been an excellent and affordable platform for us to use for Change management and Projects.
• Being able to track budgets and timelines on our software development has helped save money by keeping us on track with our delivery goals.
• The ability to provide our Executive board with charts and timelines for deliverables has helped us to secure the additional funding we needed to complete the development of our application.
