Solid Project Management for Mid-size to Large Teams
Our in-house Marketing Team switched to Wrike a couple years ago for project management. We had found ourselves in a sort of Goldilocks situation with previous project management systems: Google spreadsheets (too limiting), Asana (too simple - at the time), and AtTask/Workfront (too complex). Wrike proved to be "just right" for our team's needs for visibility, collaboration, user-friendliness, and scalability. Originally, only Marketing used Wrike, but multiple teams across the company have adopted it for their project management needs since then.
- Collaboration: Wrike has become our sole location for collaborating on projects and their component tasks due to its easy comment threads and ability to comment directly on PDFs, Word docs, videos, etc.
- Visibility: Wrike has flexible reporting capabilities that have been a huge help to our Marketing leadership team, especially because we don't have a dedicated project manager - that responsibility is carried by team managers who need to be able to see team member workloads and project status at a glance.
- Flexibility: Wrike's robust project templating capabilities are mission-critical for our team due to the volume of similar projects we work on.
- Notification timing: Unless we keep Wrike open and constantly check the inbox, it's easy to miss conversation on projects since the integration with Outlook results in a 1-2 hour delay in email notifications being sent.
- Default Task Status Filters: This is a HUGE pain. The default filter for the tasks that show in a project hides any tasks marked complete. This default filter cannot be changed, and has to be manually overridden by the user every time. This means, for instance, when a designer is ready to start a design task and needs the approved copy, she has to un-filter the task list just to be able to access the completed copy task.
- Assignee Switching: Minor gripe, but frequent. In list view, clicking on the assignee and choosing a different assignee from the resulting dropdown ADDS an assignee rather than switching the assignment to the new person. As a manager who frequently reassigns tasks to my team, having to go into the individual task view is a waste of time.

Wrike is Right!
My company uses Wrike as a departmental whole for Marketing. We use it to schedule and communicate different projects amongst each other. We can see what everyone in our department is working on, when each item is due, and can even send messages to each other / reassign / assign tasks so that everyone can see.
- Communication. This really helps us communicate to each other about the different projects we are working on.
- Easy to assign tasks to others, loop others in on a project.
- Wrike logs the progress/communication of each project.
- The dashboard where I can see what others are working on should be more easily accessible.

- Easily convert your strategy into a feasible plan to achieve success.
- Flexibility to facilitate, manage and visualize teamwork.
- Allows you to organize everything you need to complete your project.
- Cannot work on mobile devices.
- The contents are not downloaded very well.
- It has simple configuration.

Good Project Management Tool
Wrike is used as a project management tool for our business operations, marketing, and product teams. It's a good tool to use to manage what projects are the highest priority, make sure things don't get lost in the cracks, and put things in sprints. Several departments in our organization use it, but the whole company is not on it yet.
- Nice reporting features.
- Gantt chart.
- Document management.
- Hard to find requests you've submitted.
- Set-up is complicated.
- Can be expensive based on your plan level.

Efficient and Loaded with Features.
Wrike is being used in our department for managing and assigning tasks to the teams. Ever since we started using Wrike, our department has become more efficient and we are able to finish the projects before time. We are working with multiple in-house and remote teams and Wrike gave us the platform to stay coordinated with everyone and keep the check on progress everyone is making. Hence, with Wrike we're able to address our client's issues more rapidly and provide the best Tech support.
- We can see the timeline of all the projects.
- Wrike is accessible everywhere via mobile devices.
- Intuitive interface and all the controls are easy to comprehend.
- Being a Team Lead, I am always well-informed on the progress each individual is making on the assigned task.
- Notifications are delayed at times.
- Customer Support could use an improvement. They always try to upsell instead of providing the solution to our problems.

Wrike Works.
Wrike is currently being used to manage our on-boarding process, as well as individual project management across multiple departments. Currently Wrike is being used by 4 departments here at our corporate office. Wrike addresses the issues with communication, multiple meetings where the objectives were not being met, as well as organization across the company on a singular project.
- Wrike can be used in Outlook, as well as on your mobile device making it accessible any where and anytime you need it.
- Wrike allows for multiple people to be assigned to a single task or to a folder allowing for more visibility and easier delegation of tasks.
- Wrike has multiple views that allow for each person to be able to track how they would like, whether it is in a list or a chart.
- Wrike allows for more than one user to update the same description of a task
- Wrike allows you to add revised documents to a single document for easier storage
- The task view can be a little difficult to navigate, they have filters, but they don't always filter the way you may like sometimes.
- If you have twenty items on your tasks list they show all unless you mess with the filter, they should hide dependent tasks until the parent task is complete or at least add a feature to allow to do this, not everyone wants to see whats coming if they cannot work on it yet.
- The reporting that you can pull. I know that the enterprise has different reporting functions, but the professional should have a report that you can pull per folder group as well.

Can take a bit of work, but worth it.
Wrike is being used in our department, specifically. It helps us to better manage our projects and work load. We are more efficient, more productive, and less stressed by using the tools that Wrike has to offer.
- It shows you a timeline of all your projects and where they fall on the calendar, giving you a big-picture view.
- Everyone can use it at the same time and contribute to make it work really well.
- It can be difficult to use at first. It takes practice.
- Not always user-friendly.
- Can send many pointless notification emails that don't tell you anything
It is a very versatile tool, and in our environment it is used to keep the equipment clear and staff aligned with the same objectives. It has allowed us to maintain a great flow of information among the members of the team. We can discuss, comment or contribute to enrich all the tasks, projects or activity carried out. Wrike has also allowed the creation and assignment of tasks and priorities. This helps us in the organization of work which is extremely important on a personal level. As I said, being well connected allows the participation of all team members in real-time, which enriches the projects. And, we obtain greater productivity.
- It facilitates and simplifies collaborative work since it provides the participants with the functions that allow dynamic and achievable collaboration. This means that people are more willing to participate in teamwork if they have the help of this wonderful tool.
- When you have to carry out a project, you have all the functions that allow you to deal with it successfully. For example, several people can collaborate in the planning phase and enrich it with the comments and contributions. You can view the projects through a project map when properly planned.
- Help in the planning of work/projects allows us to measure the amount of work that an employee can handle. It helps us to prioritize tasks and visualize them.
- I think it should be more intuitive, that is, more accessible to those who have no experience in project planning. In the beginning, it will be a little difficult to use and you may lose some time until you get acquainted with it.
- Costs when acquiring project software, as well as its implementation and training, increase the company's expenses. It is important that software providers take this factor into account when pricing their product since in many cases recovering the investment rarely happens immediately.

Is Wrike Right for You?
With a distributed team, using a centralized spot to track tasks is critical. This is where Wrike has come into play and has made communication across distance easy.
- Flexibility.
- Ease of use.
- Adding collaborators.
- Initial setup can be difficult to refine business processes.
- It can get expensive if you want to add everyone with a full license.

Good for easy tasks, not for a holistic view
We are using it as a collaborative tools among different internal and external teams who have to implement campaigns for clients.
- Ability to create timelines
- Ability to create tasks and organize your campaigns
- Impossible to find documents that you have attached in previous tasks
- very difficult to look holistically at the campaign level as you only focus on your own tasks.
- Once a task is completed it disappears and so all your documents you attached to it.

Packed Full of Features
Within our company, only marketing is currently using Wrike. We use it for task management, to create workflows, to create a space to track projects, and as a way to track information. It works especially well for a creative team by also letting you build your own review process that allows you to comment and review documents and files.
- Wrike does well at reporting. It provides visibility for managers and allows you to report on task being accomplished as well as individual performance.
- Each task and/or project has so many features. You can store files in the tasks, create subtasks, add fields for the task that store data, create dependencies, share the task with other, set deadlines, track the time you spend on each task, and move the task through different workflow stages. Having all these features makes it very easy for this software to fit any work situation.
- Wrike does especially well at providing it users with a review process. Not only can you attach files for others to view, but it allows you to review the documents and make comments in Wrike. This makes the process so much easier to maintain and finish quickly.
- Because it has so many features, it can be difficult to get a good grasp on how to use it best to fit your team. It definitely has a learning curve, but I still wouldn't consider it hard to use.
- Wrike can easily become cluttered feeling and difficult to digest all of the information quickly. If you prefer things to be super simple for task management, then Wrike is not for you.

Wrike is an awesome solution for marketing teams
We use Wrike as a project management platform across our marketing team. Wrike is a great solution because it is flexible and adaptable based on individual preferences while also allowing for access across multiple devices. Having a platform that allows for task and project management along with communications features has been invaluable.
- Deadlines
- Approvals
- Collaboration
- Video chat/recording
We use Wrike as a tracking tool among various departments within the Company in a variety of ways. Some departments use it as a checklist, others as a full-fledged project management tool. It's also the way our IT department comments on the status of various projects instead of having notes spread out between email, chat, OneNote, etc.
- Task Management
- Gantt Chart
- Due Dates/Notifications
- Onboarding process was terrible: very unflexible
- Sharepoint integration is not fully developed

Wrike is Right for you
Wrike is an official project management tool for the Marketing department in our organization. Our company uses dedicated Wrike forms to submit tickets for Marketing. This helps us keep everything in one place, very well organized and easy to assign/escalate.
- Ability to nest projects and tasks
- Ability to upload images and other file types
- Notifications and control over communication preferences
- Cool dashboards
- Remember favorite at mentions
- Being able to pin/tag IMP comments in Wrike
- Better "Inbox" feature

PM Tool at it's finest
My department and team are currently using Wrike to track the flow and dates of multiple projects. However, we're looking within the next six months or so to expand the program to not just our team; but all of the the teams that we work with to centralize the programs that are being used for these projects.
- Multiple ways to view projects
- easy to export
- easy to learn
- Some work flows are clunky
- Hard to communicate

Wrike Usage for Teams in Multiple Locations
Wrike is currently used at my organization to manage software development bugs, feature requests, and roll outs.
It is used in concert by teams at three separate locations to maintain communication by team members.
It also allows for developers to provide updates in one forum instead of many, and allows all to see prioritization of work.
It is used in concert by teams at three separate locations to maintain communication by team members.
It also allows for developers to provide updates in one forum instead of many, and allows all to see prioritization of work.
- Allows for a lot of detail
- Easy to put a lot of information on one page
- Ability to expand and collapse for more/less info as needed
- Can feel cumbersome
- Difficult to find the information you need
- Not the most intuitive interface

Wrike has saved us!
Wrike is used as our project management software across our entire business. The cool thing about Wrike is that it can be modified to work within teams, and then within the entire organization as well. We have certain action folders that are only accessible by certain departments, while others can be used cross-departmentally.
- Wrike allows tasks to be assigned to employees, helping them stay on top of their workload.
- Wrike allows supervisors to stay aware of their employees work progress on different tasks and projects.
- Wrike allows projects that are cross-departmental to have a space to communicate that isn't clogging up their email.
- Wrike has created some creative backgrounds to individualize the viewing experience, but they are limited to very few. It would benefit them to have some more options.
- Wrike can clutter your inbox if you do not make sure to edit your email settings.

Wrike is perhaps the best project management tool available
We used Wrike for managing and organizing projects and tasks. Also, it was key for communicating with our team on project status, questions, and task assignments. It enabled us to coordinate with multiple people and departments. It excels at projects that require lots of details and communication. I would highly recommend it for larger teams.
- Wrike was great at being able to retain large amounts of project details such as tasks, dates, attachments, comments, etc.
- It was the perfect solution for complex projects that had multiple tasks, users, deadlines, etc.
- Ironically, Wrike was easy to use even though it managed complex and large amounts of data.
- I wish that Wrike was a bit quicker to add multiple tasks or subtasks, like ASANA is, and also to be able to move things around more quickly.

Wrike review
Wrike is being used across our organization by varying departments such as sales, implementation, account management, product team, and marketing. It addresses several business problems, the most important being transparent communication. Other problems that are addressed are having a single point of "truth" and not having information duplicated in several locations, as well as keeping teams up to date.
- Track deadlines.
- Assign tasks.
- Break-out projects.
- Learning curve.
- Training.
- Service.

Wrike is the perfect balance of usability and power
We needed a project management platform that suited a small to medium-sized business, but still had full feature capabilities and custom workflows. Since we are still on the small of the medium size for companies, something large scale just wouldn't work, and JIRA, which is used by our developers, takes too much customization to make it capable for a sales, marketing, success, and operations teams. There are other options out there, but Wrike was just the right fit and will help us scale a great deal.
- Their interface is intuitive and easy to use. It's clean, and I really like both their mobile app (iPhone) and their desktop app (Mac).
- Customizing workflows and approval processes is relatively easy, and adding to multiple projects with multiple assignees and watchers is excellent.
- The organization is excellent and intuitive. Search functionality is pretty great. Both make it super easy to find what you're looking for... new, old, completed, etc.
- The Gmail plugin could use some work. Love having it, and it makes adding tasks from email easier, but it's pretty slow. Intuitive things are missing - for instance, by default I want these tasks assigned to me. I have to go choose "assign", then search for my name, then click Assign. Pretty slow and cumbersome.
- Merging duplicate tasks or linking tasks is not the most intuitive, and isn't super apparent once it's done. Would love to see them take a page from Atlassian's book on this one.
- In some of the views, it would be nice to have "quick edit" features so you don't have to actually dive into the task. This is possible in the table view, which is super helpful, but would be nice elsewhere also. In their defense, I don't think any project management tool does this well.

Wrike: Just Right
We started using Wrike in just the Marketing department, but it worked well enough that the Client Support department has started to use it as well. We use it for task management primarily — we don't do time tracking or anything like that in it. It works well for making sure that everyone is aware of deadlines, and that everything is passed on to the right person once it's done. It's a good way to organize communication around a particular project or task as well, rather than trying to sort through slack messages or email.
- Customized dashboards - I like being able to organize tasks the way I want. So for example, I have a widget for things to do today/tomorrow, plus one for overdue tasks to bring them to my attention quickly, and backlogged projects. What's great about it is that I can make my dashboard just the way I want it, which is bound to be different from what works best for a coworker.
- Notifications are useful - I mostly just use it to tag other people when they need to be updated, but other team members also use automated notifications to tell them when steps that need to be done by other people, before they can start their task, finally get done. For example, designers don't have to constantly check in to see if a copy has been written and approved yet - the system will notify them when it's ready for them.
- Very user-friendly interface. I know it's not the most important thing, but it really does help when the software you use just works and looks nice and modern.
- The calendar view is a really nice addition and helps me plan ahead for busy times.
- The search functionality looks pretty crowded when it pulls up results.
- The "My Work" feature doesn't seem particularly helpful, compared to the customizable dashboards and calendar view.

2 cents on Wrike
Wrike was implemented in a department among a public university. Our department handled developing websites for educational purposes. Wrike allowed for a clear, efficient way to track progress for all the steps in website development. It also allowed us to track who on the project was tasked with what and how much of their time was devoted to each project.
- Tracking changes-- any time a change is made by any user each individual task indicates the change and WHO made those changes.
- Time Management-- time can be managed at the individual task level with the option of manual entry or a start and stop-timer at the top.
- Multiple projects are handles well, and people can have access to all projects or only those that are important to them.
- Training would be key. As this is the first project management tool that our department utilized and it has a LOT of features. I think additional training opportunities are key to success.
- Better placement of buttons/more intuitive interface would have been helpful

Fastest way to get your team organized!
Wrike is used across the Marketing department. It is a way that we submit all requests for new assets, edits and future projects. It easily organizes all conversation in an easy to use interface. I was able to pick up the platform within the first week of it being introduced to me. We have never had an outage/downtime while using the product, so it has proven reliable.
- The search feature is a powerful & instantaneous tool that pulls information out of any post that you might be a part of.
- Multiple views - List, Gantt Chart, Board, Stream, and Workload. Everyone processes data differently - something for everyone.
- Everything in one place. Keeps everyone engaged and on the same page.
- Occasionally I will have to reload a tab to make sure Wrike it updated (This is day to day - never within the same day ).
- It has A LOT of features - our company is not using it to its full potential. Maybe a weekly email with quick demos of what can be done with the product should be added.

Managing the content creation process with Wrike
We are using Wrike to manage our custom marketing piece requests in conjunction with our account-based marketing efforts. It is used extensively by our marketing and sales departments to address a process that used to be managed both informally as well as in JIRA.
- Insight into the status of a project
- Understanding who has been working on a project and were the next deliverable will come from
- Being able to quickly review previously created content so new pieces can be generated more quickly
- We may not have user permissions set up correctly but it provides a lot of updates when a project is worked on, almost too many
- The initial navigation doesn't feel as user friendly as it could be. There is a bit of a learning curve to get project requests entered.

Wrike Review
Wrike is used predominately within our marketing organization to manage their team project load and timelines. However, they also use it cross-departmentally to help communicate projects and grab resources on an as-needed basis. I typically have at least a few projects that I am assigned to within Wrike. Previously, our services management team used it to manage larger scale yearly goal type projects as well.
- Manages project tasks in a fairly robust manner for internal office use.
- Effectively notifies people when tasks have been assigned to them, and project updates have occurred.
- Allows you to track time against projects if you so desire.
- It would be great to see Wrike come out with a more robust reporting solution.
- It would be great to see Wrike come out with a solution that allows cost tracking. I am not sure this is within their core though, and it makes sense to not add it if that is the case.
- Wrike could improve on their ability to integrate into other software systems.
