Extensive Task and Project Management tool!
Wrike is used for Project Management tracking progress and accountability on deliverables. In my case, I have blueprint of cycles that take place annually or twice a year that involve a lot of tasks, involve several people. Once the project is well established it works well triggering reminders and informing about dependencies that may have yet to be completed.
- Reminders, although they can be excessive too!
- Dependencies coordination
- Blueprints
- When a task has been marked as "on hold" or "cancelled" it continues to remind you, which I find quite annoying.
- While making date adjustments in a blueprint, changes happen somehow that I can't understand so I end up going back and forth multiple times to adjust unexpected changes that just happened without a visible explanation.
- Some tasks are allowed in without a due dates and of course they won't show up in the timeline

Great for Managers, Meh for Creatives.
As a creative/copywriter, my issues are readily apparent in this review request! To me, Wrike is so completely focused on management and project planning, that the interface with those who do the actual creative "work" are an after thought.Wrike is very good at lining up tasks and adjusting schedules, but not so good as an intuitive interface so someone like me, a writer, can grasp an entire project from a content point of view. For instance, often I'm talking to project managers and we can't seem to get on the same page because they have a different "view". When I receive a "task" through my "inbox" and click on it, the project may be there or it may not. If it isn't then I sometimes use the search function at the top of my dashboard, which may yield dozens of projects of various sorts related to my key words, or search through "Projects and Folders"...it can become looking for a project in a haystack! I will say that the to-do list is helpful as is the "get info" tab and "pinning" projects...the rest of the interface is not all that intuitive, at least to me with clipboards, tables, gantt charts,...etc. etc. Wrike's jargon is a bit confusing and I tend to ignore it. It almost seems as if English was not Wrike's first language. All in all, I would say Wrike is far more useful for planners and managers rather than creatives.
- informs me of "what's next" with. the to-do list
- allows me to keep current projects top of mind by pinning them
- Wrike does a good job of archiving earlier versions of projects
- I do like the "edit in Wrike" function in Word...when it doesn't hang up on me!
- Clunky and unintuitive interface, though it has gotten better.
- Inbox messages with "task" requests should link directly to the project...
- I don't use the shared dashboards at all...not sure how they would help me
- Lots of desktops and tasks "status" lists I tend to ignore because it's just too much to wade through...stick to my to-do list.
- Sometimes Managers and Creatives can't see the same thing because creatives don't have that "privilege"?

Good for task management, some feature can be improved
I use Wrike for the management of request to the creative, digital and other teams inside the company
- alerts when receiving a comment
- easy to use
- tags to the people involved
- too many alert when many people are writing inside the ticket
- too many sub tasks to manage
- not easy to find the opened ticket or tickets when we have been tagged
September 19, 2023
All in one
We use Wrike to track project updates as well as a software for collaboration.
- Creation of tasks and projects
- Collaboration
- Tracking components
- Uploading docs sometimes is difficult
- Duplicates certain projects with similar other projects
- Notification of comments can be reduced

Wrike is the superpower you never knew of
Wrike is the central application to articulate and keep track of effort between teams for almost every task within the company. Tasks are created by the CTO and COO, as well as CSMs and PMs, and effort is transparently followed, handled and completed by the assignees.
Besides of running projects, it's also very helpful to backtrack on any historical data in case projects and liabilities need to be reviewed.
Besides of running projects, it's also very helpful to backtrack on any historical data in case projects and liabilities need to be reviewed.
- Provide transparent end-to-end information
- Allow structuring layered projects for easy follow-up
- Provide different views and filters to quickly access tasks
- Navigation between tasks, especially for complex projects can be improved
- UX for basic/critical features can be counter intuitive for new users
- Could use several general view modes (Basic, Express, Detail, Complete, etc.)

Wrike enhances creative project management
Our creative team uses Wrike to assign, schedule, track and collaborate on projects. Each project is entered into Wrike and assigned to the appropriate team member with a clear deadline. As progress is made on each project, the assigned team member tracks progress using the provided status indicators (in progress, proof out, complete, etc.). When collaborating is needed, team members tag each other in particular tasks and can work together by sharing drafts, reviewing/approving content and more.
- Status tracking
- Assigning tasks
- Setting deadlines
- Producing reports to track productivity
- Reviewing and approving deliverables
- The review function could be developed further - more precise marking on shared files.
- Sometimes attached files take a long time to load.

Powerful Project Management Platform
Wrike is our primary project management tool and the basis for how we both organize and initiate cross-functional Marketing projects. One of our primary use cases is using Wrike's built-in Blueprint functionality to standardize workflows for projects that touch a large number of marketing roles, including defining SLAs, dependencies, and task automation—all of which helps us accelerate delivery times and ensure everyone has access to requisite information to complete their portion of the project.
- Workflow Automation
- Approvals
- Design Reviews & Markup
- UX: Wrike isn't the most elegant software but gets the job done.
- Ease-of-Use: The software has a steep learning curve for new users.
- Automation Rules: Automation is great when it works but requires some trial and error to get it to function the way you intend.

Wrike Has Completely Changed the Way We Work as a Team
I use Wrike for project managing the production of design deliverables, web pages, print materials, and other deliverables for our marketing team. The blueprints, Gantt charts, automation, and forms make this platform indispensable, especially since we juggle numerous projects simultaneously. I've built numerous forms to address the flow of incoming requests from other departments, all of which create tasks or projects instantly—sending notifications to assignees automatically. This feature alone has helped our team become more nimble as requests become visible in Wrike instead of direct emails and Slack DMs. In addition, I create road maps for recurring projects quickly using Wrike's customizable blueprints, and assignees are automatically notified of new tasks and timelines upon establishment. Our team needed a project management tool that provided full visibility of the workload that was relatively easy to implement and onboard. Our previous solution offered limited visibility for projects, provided little to no capability to see roadmap conflicts, and offered various integrations for existing communication tools (e.g., Slack, Google Suite, etc.). We wanted something that provided customized project templates, offered ease in project management, and easily organized related assets/files.
- Wrike's options to set dependencies keep projects moving automatically without occupying the project manager's time to update each assignee that a task is ready to move forward.
- Every member of the team has full visibility into every project in the space, allowing us to be a highly efficient, nimble team.
- Tagging options make projects easy to find within the workspace, and we've found this helpful when assigning projects to our AGILE sprints.
- Gantt charts quickly identify workload overload, and it helps our team to balance workloads effectively.
- Dashboards are fully customizable for both reports and team management, which we use during our sprint planning sessions.
- Blueprints make duplicating repeated project roadmaps lightening fast, saving time in building road maps for our project managers.
- Building dashboards can be a little tricky, but Wrike's customer service is quick to respond and quite helpful.
- The onboarding videos have been so helpful to our team—I would like a deeper dive into using Dashboards and Reports added to these resources for our team to reference.
- Teams must come to a consensus about which notification settings are a must for ease of communication. We found that if someone only has daily reports turned on and at-mentions silenced, notifications are not as effective.
- There is not currently a way to add images or embedded links in forms. This would be helpful for us as we develop forms for design requests so that recipients can select from different options with a visual.
- When developing forms, there is only an option to include one tag with the ticket/task/project that results. We use multiple tags to keep projects visible in different team folders, so having that option would be quite helpful in saving us the time of tagging requests manually.

Great for project and task planning and tracking
Easy to use for project management and tracking of tasks. Simple interface and useful when splitting projects/tasks among teams and users. Wrike allows users when using the app to get into the details, set task dates, share with others, and limit visibility to the user level if necessary. Wrike allows users to generate reports and set and send notifications real-time. So for example, if someone on your team has a question about any part of a task or project, that can add that right into the page on Wrike and you will receive an email about it.
- Easy to use interface and if new members join, it is intuitive and easy to grasp
- Great project tracking of all levels
- Allows for alerts and notifications real-time
- Can use charts to track progress
- This is web based product, something to keep in mind
- Would be better if calendars had options for more colors to differentiate tasks

Wrike in a small business
We are a consulting company that uses Wrike to manage our client's projects. We have about 150 projects and 30 collaborators spread all over the globe and with Wrike we can track the progress, timeline, time allocation, and budget of for these projects.
- Use the timesheet function to track time spent on each project
- Create tasks and assign people and deadlines to each one
- Track project costs and expenses
- The dashboard function is not really useful for our projects since we can't really use the custom fields to build them.
- It would be nice if the reports generated could be converted into graphs in Wrike
- I wish we had the option of customizing which custom fields are to appear on the face of each project

Excellent. Game-Changer!
We use Wrike to plan and coordinate the execution of tasks including writing, publishing, social media planning, post development, web content, visuals and graphics, emails, and promotional campaigns. It has been a game-changer. With Wrike, we can keep all the team on the same page, track progress, or share and implement feedback easily.
- Team project planning and implementation
- Realtime progress updates for every change in a task
- Blueprints for repeating projects to save time and energy
- Provide ongoing training for updates, not just pop-up balloons
- Make navigation panes easier for scrolling side-by-side views
- Compare past projects with current similar ones

Collaborators' Saving Grace
I manage several social media accounts for the university and use Wrike for a few different purposes. Projects related to advertising events online and on social media, or creating artwork/copy for “swag” and apparel items, or print projects like event programs, business cards etc. Wrike streamlines these projects by providing a common space for members of different areas to easily collaborate and track the progress of multiple projects.
- Organize Roles
- Streamline Processes
- Track Status of Projects
- Accessing and storing completed projects
We were using Wrike in Technical Support Department majorly for two goals:
- To coordinate and execute our operational activities, where task requried multiple people to be like change implementations, metrics review,
- To coordinate Project Management activities we had to perform for our Support Tools and Infrustructure like feature planing, executing and so on.
- Helps you to track task project with multiple assignees
- Helps you to organize big project structure by allowing to split into smaller tasks with individual ETAs, assignees.
- Sometimes felt oversimplified for simple tasks. I wish it had multiple views/templates depending on project size/complexity
September 12, 2023
Good for Approvals and Scheduling
I use Wrike to get purchases approved, start work orders within the company, get documents approved, see which documents I need to review, and see other people's purchases/documents that I'm not a reviewer on.
- Allows me to edit spreadsheets directly from Wrike
- Allows me to make comments in specific places on drawings
- Allows me to search for anything I've created as well as most things other people have created
- I'm not able to see some of the documents that I'm a reviewer for (not sure why, but I think I'm a collaborator) and have unknowingly help up multiple approvals
- I'm not able to add some people as a reviewer for my documents
- I'm not able to create any new folders or projects in my personal space
- I'm not able to see all of the requests submitted by other people (would be really helpful to find links where people ordered stuff before or made revisions to a document)
September 12, 2023
I didn't want to use Wrike, but I guess we needed it
I use Wrike on a daily basis to manage projects that I am assigned to, check timelines, upload and manage attachments, and otherwise check my to-do list. Our team works with multiple departments in our organization to fulfill creative projects and Wrike makes it easier to assign responsibilities and help projects from falling through the cracks.
- See my to-do list at a glance
- See who is assigned to a project
- Look up old projects so we can reference what we did last time
- Too many e-mail reminders
- I refer to my "starred" tasks, because my default "to-do" list is a cluttered mess
- We attach a lot of pdf and image files. The mark-up/commenting feature is useful, but kind of clunky

- Expanded Search capability
- Larger Data Fields
- Better exporting process to excel

You choose
I used Wrike to track time on projects. It was essentially a time card.
- Track time
- Help manage projects
- Maybe it could benefit of something things were simplified? It seems like it had a lot of bells and whistles that I never used, but maybe it would've been good for me to use them.

- It’s incredibly overwhelming as a new user.
- It’s cluttered on screen but I don’t know if that can be helped.
- There are so many ways to get lost.
