Redbooth vs. Wrike

Redbooth is fantastic for freelance artists, small businesses, or even larger companies. It's versatile and can handle and help you stay organized. IT has replaced most every other tool we use to stay up to date on projects, keep track of tasks, and use it for a proofing space. It may not be good if you aren't a freelancer or someone who has many tasks to complete. It seems best when there's at least 2 people in the company.

Wrike is best suited for project management, task management, summarizing requests received by the team, open tasks, in-queue tasks, project tracking, etc. It helps with project management excellently, and I would love to recommend it. Analytics is good, but there is a high chance of improvement.

Incentivized

• Desktop sharing.
• Good audio and video quality.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• It is not an application to store large amounts of documentation.
• Having a lot of information can make it cumbersome to get some tasks.
• It's a tool created for fast management and communication. At the moment, when accumulating tasks, it can be a total mess.

Incentivized

• 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.

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.

Incentivized

A lot of the manual work that would need to take place to provide updates or inform the group is taken off the hands of the project team and on to Wrike. The team has been able to update their task and see the project progress to the next step without having to manually track.

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.

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’ve never actually used their support - I think that in and of itself says something about the product.

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.

We had staff in person provide some training

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.

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

The overall interface, hour tracking, Gantt charts and integrations with Google Drive make Redbooth the best choice for our company.

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

• Saves times of having to sort through email.

• We have reduced the back and forth communication time between Rev Ops and users by collecting all the info we need upfront.
• Wrike's collaborative features facilitate better communication and coordination among team members. This can lead to smoother project execution, reduced misunderstandings, and ultimately contribute to achieving business objectives more effectively.
• Customizable forms, automation workflows, and task dependencies in Wrike can help streamline business processes. This streamlining can save time and resources, allowing teams to focus on core objectives rather than dealing with inefficient processes.
