ITSM is straight forward creation of Incidents and Requests. It can get more confusing as you layer more modules on top of it with event management, risk, project, etc. It also becomes more costly as everything is a different license. Integration between other external applications is very easy to do with their API. You can easily create endpoints for external apps to talk to or create REST messages for the platform to reach out directly.
Wrike is very well suited for such business cases where it requires project management, task management, team collaboration, time tracking, customisation in the views but when it comes to extensive workflow automation along with its interaction to other tools then it lacks behind sometimes as all the features are not possible internally through automation and we require additional tools like workato to connect wrike with other tools.
Overall Wrike's interface is very friendly. I will log into Wrike and not be overwhelmed by the tasks that lie ahead. I know where to go to find the tasks that are assigned to me and Wrike's workspace and folder structure allow me to help keep tasks organized.
Wrike is intuitive. When creating a task, populating a name, assignee, start and end dates, and a description just makes sense. Compared to other tools, Wrike is very easy to use.
Dashboard functionality - the ability to create custom dashboards to see what tasks are assigned to certain users.
I think it is easy for tasks to fall through the cracks. With custom dashboards, we are able to avoid this issue
Multiple instances.
We have many clients and being able to switch between instances by the click of a button makes it really easy. In the past, we were using a different project management tool than our clients and we were needing to transfer information from one place to another. This created inefficiencies.
Customization.
Within each project, you can create different views of the task. This allows us to really only display what is really needed to be seen by the team.
Providing admins/devs with easier mechanisms for providing businss stakeholders with self-service admin capabilities across the platform
Tutorials on how to be the best at reporting in servicenow
Guided tour functionaltiy is a bit rigid and could use more workflow capabilities
Making it easier to push form variables to the user so there is more context when providing an approval. The out of box approval UI/form is terrible in my opinion.
Non-technical users may require more governance, as they primarily need to focus on their tasks and collaborate effectively. Their Wrike landing page should be simplified.
The extensive flexibility and information can overwhelm new users, leading to potential issues with task and date modifications.
Learning the tools often involves creating unnecessary projects and tasks.
A staging environment alongside the production environment would be beneficial for learning and experimenting before going live.
While we are very likely to renew, we are also assessing if we should renew all of what we currently subscribe to as we try to reduce costs. Some parts of the business feel there may be a better tool out there to fit their process requirements. We are currently working with them to identify what those requirements are to see if it makes sense while also pointing out a reduced cost of tooling is not always the best fit if we have an increased cost of customization and maintenance between tools.
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.
It provides a lot of modification options which is wonderful for certain team usage but becomes too much of a job when it comes to the Service Desk. Also on the app support side, since too much information can be carried, it affects the GUI and makes it complex.
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.
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
The platform is provided as a SaaS solution and support from the vendor has been good. There are regular software releases with bug fixes, new features and enhancements, and furthermore we are given the opportunity to fully test these before rolling these new releases out into the production environment to minimise the risk of business disruption
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.
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.
We went through a re-implementation last year with a partner and were very pleased with the outcome. We looked at several partners and chose one that was able to provide an entire scope and cost upfront of what would be required to complete our requirements. We worked very closely with the dedicated team assigned to our project throughout the process and they fully delivered on all of our requirements that we presented in the initial scope.
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
ServiceNow is by far a better tool over Remedy. Its ability to integrate so seamlessly to so many tools allows for plenty of opportunity to streamline and improve processes. Servicenow has intuitive flows that allow you to quickly pivot if process change. Its adaptiveness is what makes it far better solution over Remedy
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.
Our base managed service MSA is very clear and focused on our use of ITSM (ITIL role license). Other parts of the platform use some sort of transaction count licensing. This type of pricing does not work for an implementation of our scale.
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
Very easy to use. Capture more data from the Incident and problem management. Easier to escalate and following the change management process to resole the issues.
Fast implementation of our Sales & Operation/Projects controls and process - tool adapted to our needs, not us to adapt to the tool.
Once we are a consulting/implementation company, our customers are happy to see that we use what we sell, and it is easy to show them how this platform/tool can have an impact on our own business.
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.
