Gremln vs. Wrike

I think that Grmln works best for small businesses that are not in position to hire a brand management company or specialist. They can still feel in touch with the purpose because they are still personally involved in the messaging. It best suited for businesses that have less than 7 social media platforms for their company.

Wirke is such a time saver. I can know exactly what my top priorities are and see the status of projects involving other team members. The Gantt chart view is my personal favorite view. It nicely portrays dependencies and the full breadth of the project.

• This product is good at publishing. It is very easy to use. It allows me to publish in real time quickly, and I can publish on a schedule if I like. Participating in the conversation is important for staying engaged with existing and potential customers,

• I like the reporting function. It automates the information I need each week and saves me time.
• I enjoy the Wrike bot and AI functions (dependencies, Wrike bot reminders)
• I like being able to customize my dashboard and make it unique to my workflow.

• Some of the tools/applications don't work, as it's still a relatively new service.
• Sometimes contacting support can be frustrating (IE support won't actually explain what is wrong, but just tell you it's not their problem).

• The email notifications that are automatically sent from Wrike when something is done are easy for users to miss or ignore.
• Reporting can be limited. You have to create workarounds for collecting/storing the name of the person submitting the form in instances where they do not have their own Wrike license.
• A more user-friendly interface, especially for those less familiar with project management software, would enhance overall accessibility.

The pro version is cheap. It is relatively easy to use. The recurring tweets are very helpful and not many other services offer that. It is worth paying the monthly price for this feature alone.

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 usability on the listening side is poor. The process to set up streams is not very intuitive, involving too many steps. Also, the ability to create custom search streams is fairly well hidden. The reporting is pretty weak as well, with separate click through reports from other types of engagement, and a lot of engagement types within Facebook and Twitter are simply missing.

Wrike is an intuitive platform that allows users to easily create and manage workflows, addressing various team needs. The automation features in the standard version are certainly useful for handling basic tasks, such as setting reminders, changing statuses, and automatically assigning tasks. These automations greatly simplify daily operations and help keep projects organized with minimal oversight.However, in the standard version, automations are somewhat limited when it comes to handling more complex workflows. For example, if you need to integrate projects with tasks or automate more intricate processes involving multiple stages or dependencies, the basic version of Wrike may not be sufficient. In these cases, Wrike Integrate becomes a game-changer, offering more customization options and allowing for more sophisticated and interconnected automations, further optimizing complex workflows.In summary, the standard version covers common automation needs, but for more advanced requirements, Wrike Integrate is highly recommended.

The product worked when needed and never gave us any problems.

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.

I have had no issues with performance

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

The were attentive to my needs but I had and responded in a timely manner.

We've had so many questions during the establishment of Wrike for our team, and the Wrike support team has exceeded our expectations. Our team is naturally curious, and the Wrike support team has always been willing to hold conversations about how we can make an idea work, to show us hidden features that delight us, and to help us plan ways to build out projects efficiently. They meet our questions with multiple solutions and best practices

We had staff in person provide some training

The inline videos are very clear

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.

Be patient. Identify what you want to know how to do first and learn the basic functions then move onto the more complex features.

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

I have used both Hootesuite, Twitterscope and Grmln. Using the individualized brand platform (Twitterscope) still meant that had to separately post to my other networks. Hootesuite is comparable and the only thing that really makes it standout is the the social media management certification. The downside of that is that you have to pay continue to pay a monthly fee to maintain the certification. Grmln is simply easier to use

I have noticed that Microsoft Teams requires searching and doesn't allow for quick referencing of data files. I am annoyed by the fact that I have to constantly scroll through prior messages or try to find a specific message. I also do not like the fact that if there was a change to a task, we would have to verify it over a message instead of the quick view of a change and edit.

The product delivers what it says it will and is useful for making your time more efficient.

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

• Gremln has helped us reach way more customers than trying to post separately in each of our social media platforms.
• We have better customer interaction and feedback after being able to post across many outlets.
• Employees have more time to focus on answering questions, interacting with customers, etc now that they can set up and monitor posts with Gremln.

• Adding versions of a document streamlines our editing process, preventing us from reviewing outdated versions of a document. This feature saves time, especially when working with external contributors who may not know Wrike well.
• Blueprints save time because we do not have to manually enter all the details when scheduling a recurring project.
